CHAPTER 4 - ONLY MINE

Vincenzo's POV:

I came outside the meeting hall and wasn't able to control my happiness. I went inside the washroom where my men showed me. My mind seems to be in the heaven. The truth that he is her brother is telling me the only thing that she is mine…only mine. I wish she hadn't found any other man for her. I looked at my face in the mirror and saw the small hope shining in my eyes. Can I able to make her mine again?

I don't know the answer to that but I know I should try. I know she'll hate me more if I again try to make her fall for me but I will turn all her sadness into happiness. I noticed David's face before coming outside and I saw that he was also relieved and smiling. I don't know what's running inside that man's head but I know that he'll only do best for his friend. He will even try to separate me from her, but I don't what he wants. I want her, not because I'm best for her but because she is the best one for me and no one can love her more than me.

A year ago, when I realized that I had fallen for her, I couldn't forgive myself for doing such a thing to her. But, now I guess, I will make her realize that I love her truly this time and I believe that she'll forgive me one day. I don't care even if that takes years. But, she'll be only mine. I won't let anyone between us. I realized that I had been crying, I immediately wiped my tears and remembered how she still cared for me. That means there is somewhere in the corner of her heart, that I'm still there.

I went outside the washroom determined to make her mine again and saw that almost all my other bodyguards were looking at me confused. I went and saw my girl still looking around confused. When I went there, she immediately looked down which I didn't like. I again went and sat on the chair and saw that David had sat on his chair. Then, my girl's sister-in-law introduced herself, and then my girl's friend introduced herself. I didn't listen to any other ones because I started to think about how to start my play.

After more than half an hour of silence, I smiled internally as I got the perfect plan.

"Ms. Sera, decrease the A.C. temperature to 19. I'm feeling hot" I said to that girl but I got the reaction from my girl. She looked at me and looked at the A.C. inside the hall.

It's already cold enough and my head is throbbing but I want her to talk to me, at least yell at me.

"Sir, you're already having a fever, go and take a rest sir" That stupid girl is again increasing my anger which is already surfing remembering how she slapped my girl.

"Do what I say" I said in a harsh tone and even before that girl got her hands on the remote, David took that remote and changed it to 19, helping me in my plan unknowingly otherwise, he would have threatened me to death.

As the A.C. was straight in front of my girl, she started to shake not able to bear the coldness and I felt angry with myself. She can't stand cold, so I thought she would ask me to lessen the temperature, but it looks like she won't talk to me. How I want to hug her and make her hot only by my body temperature.

"Sir, if you are okay now, can I ask the other staff to go their work? They are standing here and disturbing us" That girl again asked me trying to fail my plan.

"Everyone can go including you but I want the girl to be here who spilled coffee on me," I said as I guessed that my plans wouldn't work now and I should use my power David looked at me angrily and everyone was looking at me shocked.

"But, sir…" That girl tried to say something but the principal, her father started to drag that girl outside.

I saw that my girl's brother, whose name is Riyaz, I guess, was looking at her sadly and her friends were throwing fire at me with their eyes. I turned my head to her and saw her smiling at them and nodding her head. Then she looked at David and smiled at him to which, David only glared at me which I knew was a warning that I shouldn't do anything to his friend. Everyone left the place meeting room including David and I immediately lowered the temperature with the thought that I could talk to her now without disturbance.

I stood up not knowing how to start talking to her. My palms are sweating like I'm a teenager who is going to talk to his crush and my heartbeat is at a high rate. I went near her and stood in front of her and she stepped back in fear. Though it broke my heart, I smiled sadly knowing that I was a monster to her. I stepped back not wanting to make her hate me more. She is not looking at me but at the white tiles.

"Ahaana…" I called her in my low voice to which she immediately looked at me.

The second was when her teary gray eyes met with my teary dark blue eyes and I couldn't control myself from grabbing her towards me and kissing her like my life belonged to her. I missed her a lot and I could feel that she was shocked and she was just standing like a statue without responding to my kiss. The next thing I felt was the sharp pain in my left cheek and that's when I realized that she slapped me hard.

I removed my hands from her waist and stood in some distance rubbing my left cheek. I'm angry, not at her but at myself for can't able to stop myself from hurting her. I saw that she was breathing heavily and crying, but the disgusting look on her face is what pained my heart more.

"Go on…play with my life again…for this slap," She said remembering me about my stupidity and mistake and she started to walk towards the door.

Not wanting to lose her, I followed her to the door and when she was going to open the door, I stopped her by grabbing her waist again. I turned her to my side and her back collided with the door. Disregarding her tantrums, I joined my forehead with her and started to caress her cheeks with my right hand. She tried to remove my hold on her but that was not possible. I wiped her tears while tears were pouring down from my eyes. She turned her head towards the other side not liking my touch.

"Sorry, love. How about we make a deal, love? You can slap me whenever wherever you want for all the lifetime, but in return, I want you back in my life" I said from the core of my heart and she looked at me with shock.

In the next second, she pushed me back with so much force and slapped me again. As the fever and headache are already on me and with also with the burning sensation on my back because of the hot coffee she spilled, my head started to spin and I only heard her words before I collapsed on the floor.

"Don't even dream about that" She said but I could feel tons of pain and hurt in her voice.

I kneeled on the floor not able to control the pain all over my body and whispered her name. I didn't faint but I'm in no condition to even look up. I balanced my head with my hands and whispered her name. And that's when I heard her again.

"Vince…" I heard but before replying to her darkness consumed me but I felt her soft hands around me and I'm feeling heaven…
