Third Person’s POV:
Alexander went for a jog early in the morning and after returning, he went to Sapphire’s room. She was sitting on the bed burying her face in her knees. Her body was shaking slightly and she was sobbing. Alexander walked to her and sat on the bed. The bed dipped on his side and Sapphire lifted his face. She looked at him in sacred eyes like a very scared deer. “Angel, don’t be scared. I am here for you.” He said, trying to touching her hands.
She flinched at his touch and let out a scream. She jumped back from the bed and stood on the floor. Her heart was thumping hard against her rib cage and all her thoughts became muddled.
Alexander also stood up and went near her. She was stepping backward as Alexander was stepping to her. Suddenly, her back hit the wall.
She sat on the floor sliding her back, burying her face in her knees again and covered her ears with her palms. Her body was trembling.
Today I will make you understand what happens to them who betray me. I will treat you like the bitch you are.
I am gonna **** you like the ***** you really are. Oh. You are a ******. You feel so good. I think I was quick. He didn’t get a chance to **** you. It feels great to **** you, you are so tight, babe. Be my ***** from today.
All dreadful memories of that day flashed before her eyes. Everything Alexander said to her, was echoing inside her head.
“P-please don’t hurt me, please. I-I didn’t do anything. I didn’t betray you. Believe me.” She said repeatedly. But she felt her throat went dry.
Alexander’s heart sank observing her. Where was his fierce tigress!?
Her skin was pale; lips were cracked, dark circles formed under her eyes. Eyes were holding fear.
All he could see a broken girl who was too fragile for this world and was trying desperately to hide herself from everyone.
He was the reason behind her breakdown. He wanted to embrace her tightly against his chest.
He stretched his hand to touch her, but he took back fisting his hands.
He knew she couldn’t stand him around her, let alone him touching.
He wanted a flower, and before it could bloom completely, he himself trampled it by his feet.
Now all he had, a broken flower which was far from recognizable.
He left the room leaving Sapphire all alone. His heart was heavy.
He quickly finished his breakfast and got ready for the company. He ordered the maid in charge of Sapphire to take care of her and if any emergency arose, to call him immediately.
He reached his company at sharp 9 am. Loony greeted him and asked him if she would let Mr. Benson in or not.
He gestured in positive. Loony entered inside with a tall person who would be in his mid or early fifty.
After Loony excused herself, they began their conversation.
“Who are you, Mr. Benson? And what do you know about Ms. Sapphire Atkinson?” Alexander asked. “My name is Fredrick Benson and I am a lawyer. Before I answer what I know about Sapphire, I want to know where is Sapphire. Have you kidnapped her? Where is she now?” The man queried.
Alexander was quite surprised to know how he knew that Sapphire was kidnapped by him.
“Mr. Benson you are right. I have kidnapped her. I shouldn’t be saying that out loud but I think you know many things, so you should know it too.” Alexander calmly replied.
“How and where is that kid now? What have you done to her? What harm did she do to you?” Mr. Benson verbally screamed this time.
“Mr. Benson, a piece of simple advice. Keep your voice down if you don’t get your neck snapped by me.” Alexander said greeting his teeth.
“Listen, young man, I just want to know how Sapphire is. If you have her, let me see her once. She has already gone through many hardships from her childhood. I request you please set her free.” The man requested.
“That is not possible. I can never set her free. But if you want to see her I can let you see. But you have to tell me about her past life. Her past life seems to me like an impenetrable fort which I can’t pierce.” Alexander told him. Desperation was mixed in his voice.
“Why can’t you let her go? Set her free and let that poor child live her life a bit. She had suffered enough. She is a child with a good heart, please just let her live. I am requesting you, young man, just let her go.” Mr. Benson said pleadingly.
“I can’t let her go because I love her damn it. I love her more than you could imagine. Tell me about her past and give me a chance to know her better!” Alexander snapped but also with so much sincerity. But what Mr. Benson saw in his eyes was not only sincerity, there was also an obsession.
He gulped apprehending what that might have done to Sapphire.
“How is she? First, let me see her.” Mr. Benson said sternly brushing off his fear.
“I will let you see her, but not now. She is not in a condition to meet you. But soon I will let you meet her. She is ill now.” Alexander responded. This had Mr. Benson’s doubt deepened.
“Why can’t I meet her now? What have you done to her? Don’t tell me you had done anything to her, I swear then I will kill you. Tell me clearly what has happened to her!” Mr. Benson roared standing up from the chair.
Alexander felt extreme anger, his blood was nearly boiling but he didn’t frame a single sound. Clenching his fist, he kept quiet and took a deep breath to calm himself.
“Okay. Let’s meet her first but after that, you will tell me about her.” Alexander made his condition. Alexander took Mr. Benson to his mansion where Sapphire was. They went to her room. It was locked so Alexander knocked. He knocked several times but she never opened the gate. Mr. Benson frowned. Alexander opened the door with a spare key.
“Why the hell the whole room is dark?! Do you keep her locked like this?” Mr. Benson burst angrily. “D-d-don’t come near me. I-I will scream. D-don’t hit me. I-it hurts a lot. R-really hurts..” They heard a muffled cry.
Alexander immediately turned on the electricity. What they saw was heartbreaking.
Sapphire was on the floor. Her body was curled up into a ball. Arms were wrapped around the body. Eyes were closed shut. Her body was trembling and she was chanting not to hit her again.
“Bastard, what have you done to her?! She was never like this. What have you done to her? Why do you lock her in the dark room? She is afraid of darkness.” Mr. Benson said to Alexander.
“I didn’t lock her. There must be some problem. Somebody must have locked it intentionally.” Alexander replied walking to her.
“What problem? What problem you bloody idiot? You have imprisoned her and claim to love her. Is that any way to love someone?!” Mr. Benson snapped. Alexander felt sheer anger but couldn’t say anything because he knew this time he was responsible for his carelessness.
“Sapphire, kiddo, how are you? Can you recognize me? I am uncle Fred.” Mr. Benson sat beside her and affectionately stroked her hair.
Sapphire opened her eyes up fearfully.
“Please don’t hurt me, please. Please tell him to go away! He hurt me very much, uncle. Like past. He always forces me. I cried a lot but he didn’t listen…” Sapphire gestured at Alexander. Thick drops of tears were running down from her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot.
Alexander couldn’t frame a single word. His guilt was eating him alive.
“No one will hurt you, kiddo. I am here.” Mr. Benson assured her.
“I don’t believe. Everyone says that but eventually I got hurt. Even papa left me.” Saying this Sapphire burst into sobs.
She was hiccupping hard. Alexander couldn’t watch like this. He went near her and tried to hold her. Sapphire flinched again at his slight touch and cried out, “Please don’t touch me! It really hurts!”
That’s when Alexander came to understand to make her his forever, he completely lost her.
But how to get her out from this state?
It was not any labyrinth, all he had to do was to love her, again, genuinely. Everything could be fixed by love.
But question is, can love really fix even a broken soul? It’s easy to say but difficult to do. Collecting every piece of your shattered soul and put them together, it is never an easy job.
Sapphire was shaking vigorously and hiccupping, on the verge of losing her breathing. Then Alexander gave her sedative injection and laid her on the bed. “I have something to ask you, Mr. Rodriguez.” Mr. Benson said to him.
They went to his study.
“Tell me clearly what I was hearing from Sapphire? Why did she tell me that you hurt her so much? Did you force her? Why is she so afraid of you? Don’t tell me you have rap-p-p-e…”
Alexander couldn’t answer. All he did was looking down silently. His silence was loud enough to tell about his deed.
Mr. Benson grabbed his collar with his left hand and with his right hand smacked him hard on the face.
“What have you done, bastard?! Do you even have any idea how difficult her life had been? All she went through her life is nothing but sufferings. She couldn’t even sleep at night due to her nightmares. How could you do this? This child is no longer the one I knew.” Mr. Benson’s voice broke saying the last part.
Now tears were rolling down his cheek. Mr. Benson wiped his eyes.
“I love her genuinely Mr. Benson. I know I fucked up really bad, but I promise to make everything right. I will fix her. For this\-\-\-”
Mr. Benson cut him in the middle of his sentence.
“Enough of your bullshit! You could never love her, if you did, you would never do this to her. Let her go. She needs treatment. She is scared of you. Staying with you only would deteriorate her condition.” Mr. Benson stated.
“Never! I can never let her go. If you try to snatch her from me, I won’t hesitate to put a bullet in your forehead. I love her and only I have the right to fix her!” Alexander roared like an enraged beast.
Mr. Benson gasped at his word. He couldn’t deny the fact that he was seeing the sincerity in his eyes. But was it enough?
“Tell me about her, so I can fix her. I need to know about her life and soon I will tell this to her psychiatrist. She needs immediate treatment.” Alexander demanded.
“I don’t think it’s my place to know about her past. I don’t want to say, but one piece of advice, I know her psychiatrist who had treated her in the past too. I think you better consult with her because she would have a better understanding of Sapphire’s condition.” Mr. Benson suggested.
“Okay.”
Mr. Benson left giving Alexander info about Sapphire’s psychiatrist.

Alexander called the maid who was assigned to take care of Sapphire.
“I gave you the responsibility to take care of her, how dare you lock her up?” Alexander pointed a gun at her head.
The maid was shaking in fear.
“S\-sir, p\-p\-please listen to me. Mam Sapphire said she was hungry. I asked what she wanted to eat. She said nothing but she is very weak. So, I went to the kitchen to make soup for her, but the chicken was not available in the fridge. So, I told another maid to buy chicken for her. I didn’t know by this time who locked her and turned the light off. Sir, please believe me” She pleaded .
” Why should I believe you? Evidence ?” s
he glared at her .
The poor maid began to cry .
” Sir , I don’t have any evidence but you can check the CCTV camera recording of her room . I think someone intentionally did this ..”

“If it turns out that you are lying , I will kill you and your whole family,” Alexander said .
