The party
A grand party was being organised
Influential and powerful guests were invited
The already clean castle was being cleaned to eliminate every single dust particle.
And everyone around was busy making everything perfect for the perfect night
"Saph !! What are you doing standing here!! Go and fetch miss Andrea ...ask her to check everything. Also help her to get ready!! Go!"
Maria ordered with a stern look
"...sure..ma’am right away.."
I reached Andro and Andreas room and debated if I should knock
I didn't wanted to disturb them...
I raised my hand to knock when the door swung open revealing a shirtless Alessandro standing in front of me.
His set of perfect abs distracted me and instead of looking at him I bowed down my head
"..I......I......."
My stuttering started again but before I could form a complete sentence a shirt was thrown at my face
Not expecting it I shrieked with shock
I held the shirt tightly in my hands and looked up at him
"Get it ironed and be back in 5 minutes ,if not you are fired"
5 minutes
Not possible
The iron was in the laundry room on the ground floor
I am not that fast ..how can I-
"20 seconds gone.."
He said looking at his rolex watch
I turned around and ran at full speed screaming at everyone to move aside
"Are you crazy!!!"
Workers were shouting at me
I am not crazy he is !
I wanted to scream at them
I overlooked the sign of wet floor and next I know my foot slipped making me land on my back
I don't have time to see the damage
I got up up not caring about myself
Once the shirt was ironed I made my way back to his room
I knocked and tried to catch my breath taking huge gulps of air
He opened and I held the shirt out
He grabbed it from my hands and smirked looking at my crazy state
"Thank god Saph you are here...please help me out ...come inside...come"
Andrea said coming out and pulling me inside the room
I continued to help her for the next half an hour
But my back kept aching due to the fall.
I didn't show it but I knew it was worse than I thought.
At last the party started
Gorgeous ladies and handsome men
Diamond jewels and Armani suits
Exorbitant dresses and alluring fragrances all were present
I was on the duty of serving drinks
With an aching back and smiling face I was serving the drinks trying to keep the tray steady.
I was feeling out of place
I was not beautiful like the ladies present here not did I had millions of dollars in my bank accounts
But that was also the reason why I was here serving them while they were enjoying.
"Excuse me ma'am ..drinks?"
I asked a lady
When she turned around and picked the glass I froze
Oh no not her!!
Her eyes landed on me and a look of disgust replaced her smile
Soon her expression changed from disgust to anger and she screamed at me attracting everyone's attention.
"How dare you step into this building .....you disgusting wh***......who allowed you here!!"
I felt heat enter my face in humiliation
Everyone was now looking at me confused as to why Miss Clarissa Romano was screaming at a maid
I looked down ashamed to look at her face after what I did with her son.
"Miss...Ro..mano....please..not....here"
I managed to say hoping she would not create a scene here at her son's party
But instead she continued to insult me further
"Why not here miss Brown?? Everyone here should know about s**ts like you who can go to any extent for money!!"
I had tears in my eyes...please not here under so many accusing eyes...please...
"Everyone....attention. Today among us we have a very special lady...Miss Sapphire Brown!! With no self respect, no etiquette and no shame she is the most vulgar girl I have ever met..don't go on this innocent face of her"
She lifted my face with her hand displaying my tears to everyone
"There is no innocence ...they are just a veil to attract men ,so beware of this girl guys she may steal your wealth without you even knowing it..."
I closed my eyes
No not here please...
My breathing was becoming rugged
I could hear my heart beat in my ears
My throat was constricting
Just then a loud voice was heard
"Attention everyone!! Miss Stone and Mr Romano are arriving. Please gather near the centre of the hall..thank you!"
The lights were turned off and a spotlight was positioned at the beginning of the staircase.
They appeared hand in hand passing a smile to the crowd below
Andrea whispered something in his ear and Andro laughed a full laugh
I on the other hand was thankful
Tears were running endlessly because of my inability to breathe.
I sprinted away from all of them
Pushing aside everyone I made my way towards my room
Opening up the bottle I gulped 2 tablets...
A sharp pain in my chest made me land down on the ground clutching my chest....
I need more..2 are not enough...
I placed 2 more on my palm and with shaky hands placed them in my mouth.
Within minutes
The pain subdued
My hazy vision got clearer and I was able to breathe normally again
But still that vision of her humiliating me continued to appear in front of my eyes
I finished another bottle of water
Just then Aria entered the room looking scared
"O thank god Saph...you are here..I searched everywhere for you"
"I.. .I.."
Next I engulfed her in a bone crushing hug surprising her
My sobbing increased making her hug me back tightly
"Shhh..Saph..shhh it's okay..everything is okay"
"..No..Arie......I ..can't ..go there..they'll . Judge...me......I ..am not....a wh***......please...you....believe...me"
She pulled me from the hug and held my face in her hands
"I believe you Saph..I believe you ....just calm down'
I calmed down listening to her
"You need to come with me Saph..Maria is finding you everywhere ....just please come"
She pulled me with her and I involuntary followed her.
As I was walking through the halls I saw everyone looking at me and whispering something.
I held my head down following Aria's footsteps.
Soon I stood in front of Maria
"How incomplete of you to leave your duty like that! Just take this tray and serve the guests over there.."
I held the tray and made my way towards the guests
I refused to look up and guided my way looking at everyone's shoes.
A group of men stood there talking and when I approached them I heard his voice
"This deal will be a great milestone in our business relation Mr Will and I am happy to approve it.."
I served them the drinks one by one ..some refused some gladly took them.. when I reached Andro he was still talking to someone and didn't acknowledge me presence..
"Drinks sir!"
I managed to say but my little nervous voice was not audible enough to attract his attention
I waited patiently but his conversation was not ending only
"Sir!! Drinks"
I said a little louder causing him to stop his conversation in between and direct his angry eyes at me.
"Can't you see I am talking to someone!!I don't want it, get lost!!"
Tears again left my already red eyes
I looked up into his angry eyes and when he looked at my swollen red ones his expression changed
Was it pity or concern ..I couldn't distinguish
"Hey man! Chill she is already shaking "
One of the men there said making me realise that indeed I was
I turned around quickly not able to look into his grey eyes any longer
Placing the tray on the kitchen table I turned around to rest for the day when a huge man blocked my way
"Hey beautiful going somewhere?"
Scared of this unknown man who had a evil glint in his eyes I tried to leave the kitchen from the back door.
Before I could take one step further he grabbed my tiny wrist in his
"I know you want it darling...don't act so shy...everyone knows now what kind of a girl you are"
His words made me open up my eyes in shock
No he doesn’t know anything...
I am not that kind of a girl
Andro is the first and the last person I ever loved
I haven't done anything with anyone ever...
"Move back"
I said with a new found confidence which I didn't even knew I had
He smirked and tried to move more closer to me
I'll tell you now who I am
I moved my head further suddenly giving him a head hit with my forehead
He screamed in pain and I found this as an opportunity to run.
I ran at full speed as he followed me
My head was getting lighter with each step I was took,
Not only that but my back was also aching and my oxygen supply was getting restricted again.
His footsteps were coming closer
The hall in which I was running ended near Andro's room
I continued to limp towards his room
But then suddenly my vision started getting hazy
I could feel something coming up from my throat
My shaking legs collapses making me give up.
Before I could touch the ground I felt myself landing on something soft.
I coughed and I saw something white coming out of my mouth.
My wet swollen eyes could see a hazy figure holding onto me
I tried opening my mouth further to get more oxygen but soon all energy left my body.
Through that hazy view I could see those beautiful grey eyes looking at me and I gave up all the struggle to keep them open knowing that he was there now. He was there to save me.

He knowsAlessandro's p.o.vSapphire BrownWhen I hear her name the first feeling I feel is betrayal....Betrayal for playing with my heart like a child plays with a toy.Betrayal for pretending to be the girl I would fall for and not what she was.Betrayal for saying that she loved me when she only loved my money.I still remember that day like it was yesterdayThe day our paths crossed and got tangled.Flashback 3 years back........'Bon appetit'A simple cafe with a simple nameWith wonderful food and serviceIt was located in the heart of the city with business skyscrapers all around it.I was having a simple meeting with my associates when a girl came with our orderShe looked down minding her own business like we were minding oursBut soon our businesses interfered as her hands s
I just can't live without you2 years backA girl sat on the bathroom floor with blood flowing through the glass shards on her palmsStaring at the wall where the broken mirror showed her crooked reflection.UglyUnfaithfulBetrayerDeceiverWere the words floating her mind as she sat numb under the pressure of her own thoughts and accusations.With no one to ask her if she was fine and no one to take her out of her misery she stayed there till the light outside changed to darkness.Only when the lawyers phone ringed next to her did she woke up from her state and looked around.The white tiles were coloured in red blood and pieces of glass were all scattered around.Balancing herself up she reached the phone and accepted the call with bloody and shaking fingers."He...llo."Came her weak voice"Hello
Petty tasks enormous pressureFew weeks laterI was back to normal nowAndro not even once came to visit me and I somewhere in my heart did felt bad.But again who was I to expect when I don't even deserve him.Today I resumed my work and the first duty was to clean his bedroom.I was aware that Andrea and him were sharing the room since last one month but my heart was not ready to accept that they were sleeping together.As I knocked and opened the door the sight that welcomed me opened my eyes into reality.Both of them were sleeping peacefully ..Andrea's head was resting on his chest while his arm engulfed her waist.They were cuddling together and involuntarily a memory flashed in my mind that made me take a step back...Flashback"Stay" He spoke a single word but his eyes conveyed millions
Inferno of emotionsHis heart was brokenCracked into two by events of pastWhere the other part was hidden by him somewhere where it could never be found again.She knew his heart like her ownAs once they beated as a whole.She was going to mend his broken heart.Even if she had to break her own heart into two,Just to complete the jigsaw of his heart's missing part.Even if after it her heart would be sacrificed but stillknowing that his heart was complete she will be satisfied....................................................................Walking down the streets alone with your phone battery dead, at 11 o clock at night. Through a deserted street with sounds of cats meowing and stray dogs growling is an indication of a bad omen.Unless an angel comes and removes the albatross from around your neck.
Hate PersonifiedI know he hates me now...But to this extent....I could have never imagined....Yesterday I was fired from my jobLast night my clothes were literally thrown out of his mansion..And today I was refused each and every job I interviewed for....They simply rejected me with one line"You shouldn't have messed with such a powerful person"Sitting on a bench with my suitcase at my feetA sub in my handAnd few bucks in my pocket was ISapphire brown drowning in my tears.The teardrops were reaching my lips as I took another bite.They made my food salty but that was my least concern.I was hopeless.

Mission to devils caveA heartbreak is not the end of this worldBut deception is.A rejection can only hurt youBut a betrayal kills you.But you can still surviveYou can survive if you freeze your heart and lock your emotionsYou 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
Deal with the devilI closed my eyes with my arms engulfing myself trying to protect me from the unknown.My heartbeat was increasing with each passing second and I could feel my hands starting to shake.Minutes passed and my condition worsened in anticipation.A panic attack was in making and me forgetting today's dose of my medicine was a catalyst.He was silent...only his strong cologne and cigar smoke intermixing could be felt.Finally after waiting for too long I decided to open one eye.He was very close...his fingers held my brown locks with which he was playing.."I....I...a...m so..rry...I... didn't..meant.to....""Just shut up your pretty mouth belle"I zipped my mouth shut and breathing became difficult.My chest started moving up and down faster as tears stinged my tears..The pain is startin
DeceivedI was desperate for his forgiveness...Desperate beyond limits...And maybe that's why I was standing here in Henry's office ,handing him over the file behind Andro's back.As I made way out of his office and the news of Henry's final confirmation to the project spread my happiness had no limits.I was sure Andro will be very happy after all this project was his dream project and also one of the biggest.He was celebrating his victoryBut his celebrations involved being with her and not me.I must admit I never saw Andro as happy as he is today..With her in his arms he is staring at Andrea with so much love ."Oh god Alex I can't believe....I am so happy for you..."With this she captured his lips...I should look awayI know but I can'tMy eyes wanted to see it...to feel my heartbreak...to f
