Mission to devils cave
A heartbreak is not the end of this world
But deception is.
A rejection can only hurt you
But a betrayal kills you.
But you can still survive
You can survive if you freeze your heart and lock your emotions
You can survive in the shell of a person you once were.
And today I just happened to realise how strong of a shell Andro had build around him.
As I came out of the bathroom fully soaked in water and back in my senses I was met with his
presence.
Sitting on the sofa ,scrolling down his phone.
"1 month"
He spoke without looking at me
"1 month you have to leave this town and never come back..all your needs will be provided with. You
could find a decent job and live your own life without messing with mine...best for both of us"
He got up to leave but I will not accept my defeat this easily
I blocked the door stopping him
His eyes instead of meeting mine examined my body and uncomfortably remained fixed on my wet
shirt.
I blushed and folded my arms on my upper half without meeting his eyes.
"You surely still know how to seduce a man Miss Sapphire"
His comment offended me enough to make me look into his eyes .
Gone was the love and care he once had in his eyes
Instead his tone was mocking and an arrogant smirk was plastered on his face.
Ignoring his comment I decided to speak my mind
"I will not leave...neither do I need your charity...I will die before asking you for a penny again!"
He stepped towards me making my back hit the door
"So much arrogance Miss Brown...It doesn't suits a cheap sl** like you...so tell me how many men have
you fuc*** since our breakup?"
His question so direct and his eyes so accusing made me loose my self control.
Without realising I slapped him so hard that I am sure my fingerprints on his cheek will be it's evidence
for next few hours.
Tears burned my eyes and my throat felt constricted
I held the door behind for support.
Silence prevailed and I realised what I had done.
He will hate me more!
What have I done!
He will never forgive me now!
His burning eyes met mine and fear entered my system.
His hand gripped my scalp making me shriek in pain.
He kept putting more pressure on my scalp and pulling my face backwards making fresh tears escape
my eyes.
"Sto.....p it........you.....ar...e hurting....me"
I managed to reply but he had no intention of leaving me
Instead his grip on my hair tightened making me wince in pain.
"Good.....you deserve every damn bit of it and much more... "
His breath hit my chin as his next words froze me to hell.
"Don't test my limits to show you what kind of a beast you have made me Sapphire. I know your fears
and I will not hesitate to show you nightmares in daylight...be in your limits...be a good girl and leave for
good before I decide to drag you through hell"
"Am I clear?"
"I SAID Am I CLEAR!!??"
His anger was not to be messed with
I had no choice
"Y...es..."
I managed to reply with my broken voice
In the next second I was released and he pushed me aside and walked out of the door.
His words and that scene from two years before pictured before me and I fell down on the floor
clutching on to my hair.
Andro's bedroom
Day before Andro proposed Sapphire
Loud sounds of laughter could be heard as Andro continued with his best weapon.
He laid on top of Saph and continued to tickle her so bad that tears of joy were setting on the pillow.
"P...le....ease...hahaha......stop....And...ro....it's....hurt...in..g"
On hearing that it was hurting her he stopped immediately...concern replacing mischief.
She looked up at him through teary eyes ...
She slipped on ice few days back and suffered a back pain ,Andro feared that his actions have brought
back her pain
While she simply was referring to her hurting stomach and not her back.
"Sorry....Saph....I didn't realise....are you okay...."
Looking how serious he has become all of a sudden a smile escaped her lips thinking about his care
and love.
Putting her weight on her elbows and pulling herself up she pecked his cheek and giggled.
"I was joking Andro"
A smile reappeared on his handsome face and decided to teach her a lesson
Lowering his arms he crashed his body on top of her and captured her lips in a long dominating kiss.
Soon she replied his kiss and their night stayed young.
........................................
I was given 1 month
1 month to stay here in his house with him as his maid/assistant and then go away from his life forever.
That would be it.
But the problem was that I didn't even know what I needed from him...why I wanted to stay here in the
first place.
Do I want his forgiveness...or do I want him...
A person has unwanted desire but all those can not be bought...
But I will make sure to live this 1 month as my whole life....he may become Andrea's after 1 month but
for one last time I want to be the only one for him.
You call me possessive...crazy ..or simply demanding
But some people are just worth going crazy for.
The next day I was in office at time
Before his arrival I placed his favourite Starbucks caramel latte on his table and arranged all his
meetings.
Today's meeting was very important as the investors will be coming.
I studied the project thoroughly and decided to arrange all the papers required.
Andro entered but he was not alone
Andrea and Mr Reynold were accompanying him
" Alessandro I may agree with your idea but we can't forget that is not economically feasible....the cost
benefit analysis clearly show that already budgeted expenditure far exceeds the cos-"
Mr Ronald's eyes met mine and he abruptly stopped.
Both Andrea and Andro's eyes followed his eyes view to land on me.
"Oh hey miss Sapphire didn't expected to see you here...how is your ankle now?"
He approached me passing a small smile.
"..Hello....Mr Ronald....it's....fine..now thank you...."
He nodded and placed himself on the sofa Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"How do you know my assistant Walker?"
Andro asked with doubt clear in his eyes
"I just happened to be her knight in shining armour Alessandro.....anyways where was I ...yes ...the
investors money can't be invested in such a risky venture ....you saw our ratings right? They already
dropped one notch down...we can't afford another drop in same financial year..."
"But Walker a steady position is no better...our investors are not risk averse...they know the pros of this
idea...it has potential to generate millions..."
They engaged in their discussion and soon Andro sat on his seat.
I awkwardly stood there not understanding much of their discussion...waiting for Andro's next order
As soon as he sipped the latte a curse left his lips
"What the hell is this...!!"
It used to be his favourite...what was wrong...
"Miss Brown who the hell told you to get me this coffee!! It tastes so sweet.....go get me a cup of black
coffee... and not the machine one"
"Yes sir...."
I turned around and left for the kitchen on the 5 th floor.
I decided to make 3 cups of coffee .
When I entered the office again silence prevailed.
Offering Andrea and Mr Reynold coffee as well I slowly placed Andro's coffee on his table.
He was focussed on the folder in his hands...
"Sir....your coffee..."
"Hmm.."
Came his reply simply ignoring me.
I decided to take my leave but Andro had no such intention
"Miss Sapphire I have a work for you......take this file ...go to MM industries office and convince Mr
Henry of attending today's meeting...if you succeed then I may forgive you..."
I nodded and proceeded to take the file from his hand but Mr Ronald stopped me.
"Alessandro you know what kind of a person Henry is...why are you sending her..you can send any
other person.?"
"Walker I know what I am doing....trust me ...she will be able to handle him....infact no one can do it
better than her..."
Handle him....what were they talking about
But Reynold was persistent....
"Alessandro he never attends the meetings....I know he is one of our biggest investors but his
reputation is known around...sending her will not do any good..."
But Andro was not ready to listen to him nor Andrea
"You need a special invitation? I asked you to go 10 minutes before didn't I?"
I nodded and hurriedly got on a cab to reach my destination.
