"How dare you!!"
His stare and cold voice made me step back with fear scared of what he will do
"You clumsy woman!! Keep those disgusting hands of yours steady or go die somewhere!! How dare you hurt her!! Do you even know who she is!!"
"Alessandro..stop..it's alright.."
Andrea pleaded from behind but he continued
"Lowlives like you don't even deserve to step into a place like this bit we were generous to offer you this job....but You being an ungrateful brat couldn't do one thing right.......Hell you can't even walk properly how come you were hired for this job!!"
Endless tears were flowing down my cheeks as he continued to reprimand me
"Alessandro..please...stop"
"No Andrea I will not stop..can't you see what she did.....You are too innocent and generous... you don't know girls like her.....they envy you and when they can't compete against you they engage in these dirty tactics .....bloody disgusting people...."
I looked up into his eyes ....my eyes asking him if this is what he thought of me...
I was never this low...
How could he even think I did this deliberately!
"Oh my god...your hand..."
Andrea said looking at my hand
I looked down to see my entire hand turned red with blisters everywhere.
I felt numb earlier but now as I saw my wound I started feeling the suppressed pain I was controlling.
My tears betrayed me not just because of his words but also from the pain of my burn.
Andrea rushed towards me with a worried look on her face
"Maria..bring ..the coolant hurry..we need to call the doctor.."
She was something else
So pure and caring
My eyes lifted to see Ando
He had a expression I couldn't decipher
His eyes were fixed on my burn but I couldn't tell if he was worried or not.
But soon that expression was gone as he turned around and left.
I looked at his retreating back wondering since when did he become so heartless.
Everything is fair in love and war
And this my friends is a war of broken hearts.

0°Celsius : to thaw a frozen heart

He is too good for me or I can say I am too bad for him.


I admit we have a connection very few can have.


A connection which soothes my anxious heart with just a mere touch of his fingers.


But this connection is good for me and a downfall for him.


His mother and his friends have made it clear to him.


They can predict his downfall with me at his side.


He is too adamant and independent to let others control his life.


He wants me and he has made this clear to everyone today.


We haven't even dated but again he was not the kind of man who dated.


He never thinks what others think and does what he wishes to do.


He said he wanted me to be his if I permitted.


I would be a fool if I rejected his offer.


Being his wife I can live the life of a queen.
