0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart

Chapter 36: 3.5°Celsius

..."

I managed to say in between the kiss with tears running down my cheeks.

Yes I was crying again

Not because I didn't wanted it.

I wanted it like a dying man needs water but I couldn't afford it.

The cost associated with his downfall outweighs my personal selfish enjoyment.

"Sshhh just relax....listen to me....just look into my eyes..."

As I looked up and stared into his understanding and calm eyes , my heart relaxed.

"Good girl...now I will let you go but you will not move...stay put...okay?"

I nodded and his grip loosened on my arms .

I was laying still on the bed with my hands on my sides as he stood on the side of the bed staring at

me.

"Here take these"

He placed my medicine on my palm as I sat back up and I gulped it with a glass of water.

He sat next to me and started playing with my fringe rolling it on his finger.

I don't know why but this action always calmed me down.

"Why were you pushing me away Saph...you never did it before.."

His eyes looked hurt and I decided to look at my lap instead of his eyes.

"I....I....just thought...."

Should I tell him. I am so damn confused right now.

"No...it was nothing....I just didn't feel....like kissing...I was ....I was not ready....a...nd....you suddenly...

kissed...so...."

I lied trying not to look into his eyes

"You didn't feel like? Huh?"

He suddenly laughed and not a normal laugh.

There was something cynical in it.

Like my words not only hurted him but also broke him.

Before I know he gripped my neck with his rough hands and roughly placed my lips on his.

The kiss was so dominating and demanding that I couldn't help but respond.

My body betrayed me and that was when I realised.

He owns me completely.

My mind may refuse but my body blindly obliges to his every whim and command It trembles under his

every touch.

I can fool my mind not to respond but I can't control this body.

The kiss ended and I gulped in air exhausted by his sudden attack.

I was shocked.

He was always so loving and understanding

What happened today?

It's not that I didn't liked it

Of course I did but his behaviour is strange.

He just smirked.

"Don't take my kindness for granted dear....if a Prince's love can't get back you back... don't force the

beast to bring you back....because if he comes mind my words Saph I won't be this gentle and your

treatment won't be this slow....if I have to be a beast to bring you out of other beasts then mind it...I will

be the most dangerous of all."

I gulped seeing the determination in his eyes.

And for once I was scared of him.

Scared of what he will do if his patience with me runs out.

"W..hat do you mean...?"

He smiled placing my flick behind my ear.

"You showed me your insanity...now I will show you mine"

With this he was gone leaving me confused and afraid .

Yes I was afraid of him.

Afraid of this unknown side of him.

I laid on the bed lost in his thoughts.

But to my surprise his thoughts kept me so occupied that those voices didn't return.

Instead his voice kept ringing in my head again and again.

"I will show you mine...."

They say if you have a problem then take another problem that is bigger than the 1 st one.....soon the 1

st problem will no longer look like a problem and you won't even realise when you solved it.

My Saph was not a problem

She was a challenge This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Curing her was a challenge

And I will cure her even if I have to do what no one ever did before.

They say steel cuts steel

Let's test it then....

I will make her reality a nightmare.

A nightmare that will kill all her other nightmares.

I know it's very risky

But what do I have to loose.

..............................................

The next morning when she woke up she found her hands and legs immobile.

Afraid she looked around to see her hands tied to the bed post and her legs tied together.

Her eyes landed on the figure sitting on the seat staring at her and she calmed down.

"Andro.....thank god....you are here....I thought...."

"You thought wrong princess...this is reality not a nightmare...you told me you have nightmares where

your hands and legs are tied in chains...well shit just became real...."

"Stop joking Andro....just open these chains..."

When she saw him sit down on the chair and ignore her.

She started struggling to get out.

"12 hours....your time starts

.....now...."

"What the hell are you doing Andro!! I said open them!!!I will kill you I swear!! "

He placed a kiss on my forehead and whispered in my ear making my entire body shiver..

"I will be here...staring at you every second as you fight with your fears.... don't worry you will be fine"

"No....No don't....they will come back...the voices....they will .....Andro please...."

She had tears in her eyes as she pleaded him.

For a second his eyes softened.

He wanted to end this madness before he even started it.

But he knew that this was his only chance.

Only chance to bring back what once was his.

He turned his back on her and seated himself in the corner getting busy with his work on his phone.

It will kill him seeing her like this

But he has to do it.

After all what doesn't kills you makes you stronger.

And he knew she will be the strongest.
