Chapter 25: 9 degree Celsius
Chapter 25: 9 degree Celsius
Where are you now?
Alessandro Romano p.o.v
Staring at her back as my mind registered her words
A disastrous kind of a storm broke inside me.
"I was a mistake...I was discarded in dump......I don't deserve happiness....you will not have to see this
ugly face anymore.... don't have to touch this disgusting body.... congratulations....goodbye......"
No!!
This can't be it.
I should be happy that she finally decided to leave forever.
But then I don't know why a feeling of dread enraptured inside me... like my very soul was getting
separated from me.
Like by not stopping her right now I was committing the biggest mistake of my life.
She said she was a mistake...agreed ...but she was my life's most beautiful mistake.
Those years with her were the golden period of my life.
She said she is ugly....
Not the prettiest one in town I agree. With not the sharpest feature
But she was pretty in her own unique way.
Like every feature not very perfect but when fitted together each one covered the others flaws and
highlighted innocence.
A kind of beauty which can never be compared because of it's uniqueness but can only be adored.
Disgusting body she said
If only she knew how her touch burns my skin with lust and desire .
If only she knew how much self control it took not to engulf her perfect waist in my arms and inhale her
sweet fragrance.
Her goodbye pinched like a needle in my heart and the ring she returned made my mind go blank.
The biggest fear of my life shook the very floor under my feet.
Can she be innocent?
The million dollar ring in my hand raised hundreds of questions and their answers made me doubt
myself for the first time in my life .
But those pictures were true...she did used to see another man behind my back...
But did I ever listened to her side of story?
Why she did it? Who was he?
These endless thoughts were giving me a headache as I tossed around in bed.
Andrea's touch no longer calmed me down
Her arm hugging me felt like a trap and her presence felt suffocating.
I lifted up the duvet, released my self from Andrea and made my way outside to the balcony.
The winds welcomed me and the stars in the sky calmed me down.
"You know Andro these stars tell me a story"
"A story? When did stars started talking?"
I laughed at her stupid self.
"Since the day I realised I have no one....since the day I learned that people who die become a star...."
Seeing the hidden sadness behind her words all my humour vanished
"These stars tell me that even when everyone changes towards me ....when people hate me....when I
am unwanted they are still there for me......they are there to look after me...even though sometimes
they may hide themselves behind the clouds but still they are there staring back at me again..."
I engulfed her from behind and placed a kiss on her neck inhaling her addicting fragrance.
"But dear Saph they are too far away to protect you and look after you?"
She stilled and got lost in her thoughts as I enjoyed her closeness and her innocence.
A smile left appeared on my lips when I realised how seriously she was considering my question.. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"..hmmm...that....I never thought..."
"Well let me tell you then...these stars send me to be there for you...to protect the one most innocent
and vulnerable to this world...to be there for her when they couldn't be there..."
She turned around and a hundred watt smile came my way followed by an innocent peck on my lips.
"That's not fair? I only get a peck for taking such a big responsibility...I don't settle with instalments dear
I want lump some.."
She blushed as I pulled her closer to me by grabbing her waist.
"..you..have...to wait for that
.."
"I can't when my prize is in front of me begging me to settle the transaction"
With this I kissed her deeply until her face got flushed and my never ending desire satiated and got
settled for the time being.
Here at this very place it happened.
It still felt like yesterday as I imagined that day.
Gripping the railing I tried to calm myself but how could I when the promise I made to her remained
unkept and lapsed.
I don't know where she would be now...if she even has a roof over her head...was she safe.....did she
eat something....
I know nothing
There at the club looking at her I kind of pitied her.
Gone was the figure I loved the most leaving a skinny body with dull eyes.
She looked weak and under nutritioned...
Just 6 months passed since I threw her out of my office.
But in this little time she looked like she suffered a lot.
The thought of her selling her body to earn money for a piece of bread boiled my blood.
That dress that barely covered her and displayed her body to other men burned me with jealousy that I
never felt with anyone before.
She was mine and none had the right to even lay their eyes on what was Alessandro Romano's.
These emotions were burning up my inside and I wanted to scream all this out.
I miss you...I will never tell you Saph but I do....
Her betrayal, deception and lies were at one side and my love for her at another.
My heart wanted to check her one last time.
To see if she was fine...
After seeing her today I wanted a confirmation that she is fine.
A confirmation that those dull eyes will get their light back.
Dialling my friend who is the number one investigation officer in town I closed my eyes
"Hey man what's up? Calling so late.. everything's fine...?"
"Hey Kevin...yaa everything's fine I just wanted you to get me some information about someone..."
"Mail me the details I will reach you as soon as I can..."
"Thanks man"
"Anything for you Romano...goodnight."
Taking out a cigar and lighting it.
I puffed a cloud of smoke and that's how I spent my night.
Numbing myself to get out of her thoughts and coming back to my cold self to survive.
I just needed one last assurance that she is fine....to go forward and accept Andrea as my wife.
After a weak Sapphire Brown will die from this heart forever as my heart will belong to my loyal wife.
Andrea Stone.
