Third Person’s POV:
Sapphire was sitting on her bed. Alexander was beside her, hugging and reassuring her that nothing would happen, he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her.
“Angel, don’t be scared, I am here for you, I will be with you. Nothing will happen. I promise.” He cooed in her ear. “Alexander, I didn’t do anything bad to anyone in my knowledge, never offended anyone. Then why someone tried to do this?” She questioned looking at him. She still couldn’t believe somebody tried to kill her.
Alexander heaved a long sigh.
“It was me who hurt people, offended them, that’s why they are trying to harm you. Because they know I love you and you are my only weakness.” Alexander said, an imprint of guilt spread over his face.
Sapphire couldn’t say anything, just stared at him. She never thought loving him would bring this type of predicament in her life, though she didn’t regret loving him.
She lost herself because of him once. But she also found herself in his immense love and devotion, her heart couldn’t help running to him breaking all the walls she built around it.
“Alexander I never regret loving you. But I hate all your killing, bloodshed. They just cause pain, tears and suffering. Bloodshed begets bloodshed.” She stated and lay on her bed sighing.
Alexander leaned towards her and promised holding her both hands, “I will never let anything happen to you. My promise, I will protect you even if it takes my life.”
“I know. You don’t have to repeat it. I believe you, but can’t we just live peacefully loving each other? Away from this violence, bloodshed?” She lowly spoke. But Alexander couldn’t say anything, it was complicated actually.
His silence disappointed Sapphire. She didn’t say anything further, with a sigh looked another way.
The next day, Sapphire woke up a little bit late. Alexander was not beside her, he got up early.
She wanted to go to the university.
She got fresh and changed her clothes. She made her way downstairs. She saw many people. They were working with measuring tapes, glass and some of them were measuring the walls.
Curiosity took her over, but she didn’t say anything. She first went to the dining room and ate something. “I don’t care about any meetings. I will run my business from my mansion. I have my mansion right at the center of the city. I won’t get out of the house till I can’t catch the bastard who tried to shoot her. I am giving you an ultimatum, take as much as you need but I want the bastard alive within seven days. About the fight, what else have I told you, I don’t fucking care. First do find the culprit or I will kill you.” She went to Alexander’s study and heard him yelling over his phone. He didn’t notice her. He was busy talking, turning his back.
Sapphire walked inside the room silently and waited for him to finish talking.
Alexander kept his phone roughly on the study table and cursed something loudly.
Then he turned to sit on his chair but suddenly watching Sapphire standing there, caught off guard.
“Angel, when did you come?” He asked, uneasiness was evident in his tone.
“Alexander, what’s going on?” She questioned back with her firm tone.
“I am finding who tried to shoot you. Don’t be scared, I will catch him and kill him.” He told Sapphire.
“But you aren’t telling me the whole thing, I heard your conversation.” She said.
Alexander felt utterly irritated at her, why the hell she needed to know everything. He didn’t want to tell about his dark mafia world, his works stained with blood.
“For god sake don’t be stubborn this Time .there is nothing.” Alexander pressed.
Sapphire sensed lie in his words but didn’t push him anymore. She could understand his tension.
“Okay, as you like. But know that I have every right to know about you and your business, I am with you. If there is anything big you are hiding from me and something happens because of that in the future to us, I won’t forgive you.” She stated.
Alexander just nodded.
“I am going to my university.” She said.
“No, you are not going your university today, I mean till I can’t catch the son of a bitch who tried to shoot you.” Alexander commanded. “But I can’t stay here away from everything, I have a life.” She huffed, suddenly her eyes got teary.
“I will never keep you away from anything but yes I will do everything to keep you safe. Just try to understand I am doing this for your safety, not forever you will stay here. As soon as the bastard is in my hand, you are free to go out. And believe me I am doing my hardest to find that motherfucker.” Alexander assured her.
“I believe you.” She expressed and hugged him. Alexander hugged her back but his hold tightened, as he remembered yesterday’s incident.
What might happen if she got shot?
He couldn’t imagine his life without her for a second, it would be living hell. He hugged her very tightly, like she would fly away if he released her.
“Ah. I cannot breathe.” She spoke.
He quickly released her, as his brain registered he had been holding her way too tightly. He cupped her face and placed a kiss on her forehead longingly.
“Are you really going to work from here?” She queried him.
“Yeah. I won’t ever leave you alone here.” He responded.
“Ow.” “Then your meeting, appointments, business?”
“I can do them from here as well, video conference.”
I know you are right, angel. But I don’t want to tell you about the upcoming notorious mafia war. Whatever happens I will protect you.
All the mafia families and gangs in the America have become desperate to take Rodriguez down. Even filthy cartel bosses, drug dealers try to stand against me.
Alexander thought.
“Angel, I will run my business from here till I can’t catch that bastard. I may use my outer hall of this mansion as my office; I won’t let these men enter inside the mansion where you will stay. Most of the people I deal with in mafia world, they are crooked and twisted. I have to deal with them as I am also a mafia. When I will be there, I don’t want you enter there or go there.”
“Okay, I won’t. Alexander why there are so many people downstairs? What are they doing working with, glasses, and tapes?” Sapphire wanted to know.
“Oh, they are workers. They will replace all the glasses of the in the house with bulletproof glasses and this is why they were measuring, some of them are going to set CCTV camera almost in every point of the house. This is for security.”
“Ow.” Sapphire responded lowly. The thought of almost all the time monitored was quite suffocating, but now they didn’t have any way.
The next day, she was working on her laptop, to register herself for online classes as she wouldn’t be able to go to the university for a while.
Her phone rang. It was Bella.
“Hello, Bella? What’s up?” A smile tugged on her lips.
“S-s-sapphire m-mom s-suddenly f-fell w-while showering. S-she got unconscious. We got her out of the bathroom opening the door. We took her hospital, doctor informed us after diagnosis that her lungs failed. Immediately within three days she needs a lungs transplantation to live. We are searching but can’t find any donor. I don’t know what to do Sapphire. I am feeling very scared, what if we don’t get any donor, mum will die.” Bella cried.
“Don’t cry Bella, everything will be alright. We surely get a donor.” Sapphire hopefully said.
“I don’t know what to do. I am going crazy in worry Sapphire. Please pray for my mom.” Bella said and cut the call.
Bella’s mom, she was such a good person. She loved Sapphire as her own child, always called her in every occasion in their house.
I should go to see her once. And Bella sounded so distressed, worried. She needed comfort. Sapphire decided to go and give her a visit. Bella needed it now. Sapphire called Alexander to inform that she will go to hospital to visit Bella’s mother.
She called several times but couldn’t reach him. He didn’t pick up. Though Alexander forbade her to enter his office, she decided to go there. She needed to go and it was urgent. The friend who helped her in every good and bad moment of her life, that friend needed her support, help and comfort now.
She went to Alexander’s office and knocked it several times but there was no response. Sapphire waited for five minutes, but getting impatient, she pushed the door open.
She saw six men were sitting there excluding Alexander. Every eye, darted to Sapphire as soon as the door was opened.
Grinding his jaw, Alexander said, “This meeting is dismissed. Please take your leave.”
He looked extremely pissed; pissed at Sapphire. Why did she have to disobey him? He couldn’t overlook her disobedience every time. He told her clearly, warned her not to come here, but still she came.
A middle aged man with disgusting bread and mustache let out a smirk suddenly.
“Mr. Rodriguez, I admit that we never had friendship, but for now we agreed to be ally, won’t you introduce us with this lovely young lady?” The man said pointing towards Sapphire. His perverted eyes laid on her.
Alexander’s blood was boiling in anger.
“Michael, don’t forget your fucking place. This goddamn alliance is off the moment when you try to cast your dirty eyes on what is mine!” Alexander roared.
The man seemed unaffected by his warning. He walked to Sapphire and stretched his hand before her.
“Hello, this is Tony Michael.” A nasty smile plastered on his lips.
Sapphire’s heart was beating fast in the mention of the name. She looked at the man, when her gaze fell on his face, her breath hitched and her chest tightened in fear. The same fear which had been haunting her from her childhood.
She couldn’t breathe, her eyes automatically shut and she fell on the floor.
The person named Tony Michael, stood there confused.
Alexander observed Sapphire and rushed to her side, she was getting a panic attack. After so many days; but what could have triggered her. His forehead furrowed, he was confused.
“You all, Leave now!” Alexander shouted to all of them. They left and Alexander quickly scooped Sapphire in his arms.
“Angel, are you okay? Angel?” He patted her cheeks, but no response. He took her to room and laid her on the bed .
“Noooo! Get away from me. Leave! Leave meeeeeeee!” She screamed as she fluttered her eyes open.
Alexander was getting confused, he couldn’t understand anything.
“Angel, what’s wrong? It’s okay, I am here.”
She jerked his hand away and pushed him. Alexander was taken aback at her behavior.
Something was definitely wrong.
“It’s me angel, it’s me.” Alexander went to her side and cupped her face; he moved her chin up and made her look at him.
But she was not in this world, she couldn’t hear anything, all she could see was image of her tormentor who snatched away the childhood from her, defiling her innocent days.
Her body was shaking, she was again about to lose consciousness. Her eyes were droopy.
Alexander’s heart twisted seeing her in pain.
“Angel, it’s me. Don’t get afraid of me. Angel.” He shook her shoulder vigorously.
Sapphire’s eyelids parted and she looked at him as his words hit her sense penetrating her abstraction.
With tired eyes, she kept her eyes rooted at the man before. Slowly, she understood that the person wasn’t her tormentor. It was the person, she loved, and it was the person who vowed to protect her with his life.
It was her one and only, Alexander.
She embraced him in a tight hug, hiding her face in his broad, masculine chest. A whimper released from her
She embraced him in a tight hug, hiding her face in his broad, masculine chest. A whimper released from her mouth, as she sobbed in his chest. She was still breathing hard.
Alexander placed her small body on his lap and hugged her back. Sapphire kept crying holding him tightly, clutching his shirt.
“It’s okay, I am here, angel. Don’t cry anymore. My sweet angel.” Alexander planted a kiss on her forehead and rubbing her back with her palm to calm her down.
After staying like this for some time, her breathing got normal and she seemed to calm down.
Alexander wanted to ask her what was wrong, why did she react this way after so many days. If there was any specific trigger? Why she got panicked looking at Tony Michael, did she know him anyway? He was itching inside to know these but he stayed quite.
“Don’t you have anything to ask?” Sapphire looked at him.
“If you don’t want to say now ,then that’s okay .tell me when you will be ready .” Alexander spoke .
” alexander this matter is not easy for me to talk about , but I can’t run from it always and I think you deserve to know this . So , I will tell you now .” Sapphire took a deep breath .
Alexander held her hand snd gave a reassuring squeeze .
