Dr. Nethbathi demanded to know what has happened with Sapphire.
"She was raped and the gentleman standing here raped her. My kid now can't even recognize people, " said Mr. Benson, suddenly entering into the room.
Alexander's jaw clenched and he exhaled a deep breath. He couldn't look at them, was too ashamed of himself. He raped the love of his life, destroyed his hopes, the person who saved his life.
What a wonderful rendition of kindness he had returned to her!
"I want to make things right from now on. Tell me what happened to her in the past?" Alexander lifted his gaze and asked them.
"I don't know what to say, I never thought Mr. Rodriguez you could do something so vile to somebody. I think what people say is not true, you are much worse and crueler than the rumor." Dr. Nethrabathi said.
She continued, "Sapphire's had many problems before, she suffered from severe stress
Third person's POV:"After examining Sapphire's CT scan and MRI reports, I have come to the conclusion that she doesn't have any serious brain injury. But she is suffering from amnesia. Symptoms of temporal retrograde amnesia which was caused by the injury of her head and dissociative amnesia which was caused by the emotional shock are both evident in her. Her PTSD has also taken a serious turn. I can prescribe her antidepressant drug but there is no specific medicine to treat her amnesia. We have to work on it slowly and patiently." Dr. Nethrabathi finished. "If she is having amnesia, then how come she can remember past incidents?" Alexander enquired. "Every patient is different, Mr. Rodriguez. Her condition is complicated because I think she is suffering from both temporal and dissociative amnesia at the same time. Normally temporal retrograde amnesia is caused by head injury. As she was hit in the head, I believe that caused te
Alexander didn't know what to do exactly to bring Sapphire back. But he was determined to do anything for her. He was burning constantly in regret. Four months passed by. Alexander thought when he would get to meet her angel, talk to her looking at her eyes, even if it's for once. "Mr. Rodriguez, after the therapeutic treatment of these months, I believe that Sapphire's condition developed a bit. She recovered from amnesia, both retrograde and psychogenic. That means all her memories are placed in the right order in the brain." Dr. Nethrabathi informed Alexander about Sapphire. Alexander's eyes glistened with hope, a new felicity. He couldn't help but smile thinking that his angel was going to be alright. Observing Alexander being infused with new hope, Dr. Nethrabati said, "But this good news came with a bad one. Her amnesia is gone, but her PTSD has taken a very critical form. As she remembers all her memories
Sapphire woke up with feeling a stinging pain in her hands and feet. She sat up and saw her arms and feet were bandaged. She wondered whoever tended her cuts and changed her dress. The last person she saw was Alexander. She tried to get down but couldn't, her one leg was chained to the bed. She looked at the surrounding, it was not her room. Alexander entered the room. "How are you feeling, angel? You really scared me." He said standing beside her bed. Sapphire didn't answer him. Alexander unchained her and sat beside her bed. Sapphire got down from bed only to fall miserably in exhaustion and weakness. Alexander held her before falling. Sapphire flinched at his touch. Alexander's heart clenched sensing her fear, stiffness around him. But Alexander didn't let her go this time. She had to win this fear for him. And it wouldn't be possible if he let
Alexander was in his study, working on his laptop. After a few hours, he decided to see Sapphire. He went to her room but she wasn't there. He walked to the garden, she wasn't there either. He asked a maid where Sapphire was. She replied she last saw Sapphire going to the library. Alexander stepped inside his huge library and found Sapphire was reading a book. He went near her and saw her reading a big scientific book. Sensing his presence, Sapphire looked at him. Alexander smiled at her but she didn't return it. "Do you like reading? I never knew you were fond of scientific books." He tried to start a conversation. Sapphire sighed but didn't reply instantly. It reminded her how much she liked to read scientific books. She was admitted into microbiology. But after Alexander took her forcefully, everything was over. Her dream of becoming a scientist was over too.
"It is alright. Go freshen up; I want to tell you something." Sapphire said to Alexander. "What do you want to say? Tell me now." He spoke. "No. First, go and freshen up." Sapphire suggested. "Okay, then come to my study after half an hour. I will be there." Alexander turned and left. Sapphire's POV:I wanted to ask him about when he would let me go. I couldn't stay here forever like a prisoner. I had a life of my own. He had to listen to me. I would make him listen to me. I had lost myself staying here; I wanted to get myself back. About an hour later I went to his study. I knocked but he didn't respond. I opened the door and what I saw scared me to the core. My eyes widened in shock, I was shaking. My knees felt weak and suddenly my throat went dry. Alexander was standing, holding a gun. Body of one person was lying on the floor. He shot another person in hi
Alexander's POV:Why did you spoil every possibility of love between us? I can't pull you near me even if I try, my memories recall those incidents. You have killed me and all my abilities to love someone in my life. You have scarred my mind and soul forever. When I listened to her saying those words, I felt like killing myself. My heart clenched painfully. Never in my life, had I regretted any of my doings, whether right or wrong. But what I had done to my angel was not only unforgivable; it was too painful for her. I was ashamed of myself. Even after many months, she couldn't get out of that incident. I was the worst kind of human being. How could I do that to her, my angel? If I could reverse the time, I would go back and start everything between us over. Which is never possible in reality. But I will change the reality with my love. If she hates me, then I will love her so much, so much that her hatred will t
He took her to his room and laid her on his bed. She fell asleep out of exhaustion and stress. Alexander sat beside her, observing her. Her tear-stained face, disheveled hair, dark circles under eyes were a clear indication that she was in pain inside. His heart painfully clenched at the thought of when she asked him to kill her. Living was way too painful for her. I know I am selfish, but I am in love. I can do everything for you; even die for you but I am not letting you go. I corrupted you and I will heal you. I have snatched your life but I will give everything back to you. He vowed. He took her hand and kissed her knuckles and then kissed her forehead. Just a mere touch of her smooth skin against his lip made him hungrier, wanting for more but he controlled himself. He quickly made leave from there. He entered the bathroom, took a shower and came out. He
Third Person's POV:She looked at him but didn't say anything. She weakly shook her head in negative and looked at another direction from Alexander. He cupped her face and softly made her look at him. "What's the matter? Tell me, angel." He told her. "Nothing at all. I am happy, really." She said, trying to smile but couldn't. Her smile didn't reach her eyes, she failed utterly. "I am happy." She whispered, a lone tear slipped from her eyes. Then it hit him that something was definitely wrong with her. He crinkled his eyebrows. He felt puzzled, why she was crying. Wasn't she a bit happy?! He wondered. "What's wrong, baby? Why are you crying then?" He softly asked, cupping her face, rubbing her shoulder. The sobs she was holding back, she burst into them. "Because, I miss him so much, badly. It hurts so much
Seven years later, "Mom, I have drawn this." Alice, Sapphire's seven years old daughter showed her the picture she painted. "Wow, honey, it's beautiful." Sapphire complimented. "Baby, have you completed your home task yet?" She asked. "Yes, mom. Mom, you know I have obtained 100% in my class test. See." Alice showed her the test report. "Wow, darling. It's incredible. Let mama give you a kiss." Sapphire leaned carefully and kissed Alice's both cheeks. She was pregnant of four months. Alice giggled when Sapphire tickled her. "Oh, mommy, it tickles." She laughed. "Mom, you know, I told my friends about you that you are a scientis. They all said that you are so cool." Alice announced in a proud voice. Sapphire couldn't help laughing. She couldn't pronounce scientist. So she spelled it as 'scientis'. "What is a scientist, baby?
Third Person's POV:"Huuuuuh. I k-knew it. I knew it. Now that I am fat, you don't love me anymore." Sapphire cried in the bed. Tonight, Sapphire took initiative to have sex. She wore a flimsy almost transparent night gown and came to the bed. Straddling Alexander, she kissed him with urgent need. She was crying because Alexander didn't have sex with her frequently nowadays. He was afraid that he might hurt her and their child. Because of her pregnancy hormones, she was overly emotional and horny. It never happened before but after pregnancy, she often initiated their sex. "Huhuhuuhu." She sniffed burying her face on her palms. Alexander was used to her mood swings and tantrums lately. She passed her first trimester and was five months pregnant already. Her belly grew big and it showed. Alexander sighed and turned to her. "A
Third Person's POV:Three and a half years later, Today, Alexander was sitting proudly, clapping his hands looking at the stage. Sapphire was receiving a gold medal for her outstanding academic performance. Today she was graduating from the university and it was her graduation ceremony. A bright smile was plastered on her angelic face. She gracefully walked to the stage and gave her speech. Everyone present there clapped their hands and cheered for her. She was an icon to the students, a great learner to the teachers. Today, she stepped one step ahead in the way to reach her dream to be a scientist. Sapphire descended from the stage and hugged Alexander. "Alexanderrrrrrr!" She exclaimed in joy. "You made it, angel. I am so proud of you."Alexander's parents, Devon, Lily also came to double her happiness of the great achievement.
Alexander's POV:I turned behind hearing Sapphire's loud scream. She came before me and gave me a hard push; I literally stumbled in the left side. Before I could understand anything, a bullet hit her body and she fell on the floor. I never heard the gunshot; I saw a Russian was targeting me. He was pointing a silencer gun at me. I shot him immediately and my eyes darted on Sapphire. She took the bullet to save me. "Angel! Angel!" I screamed, patting her cheeks. "A-Alexander-r, I love you-u. P-please d-don't f-forget m-me a-after my d-death." She couldn't talk clearly; she was feeling difficulty to breathe. She shakily tried to stretch up her hand to touch me but couldn't either. Her hand fell on the side limply. Her eyes were droopy. "D-don't close your eyes, Sapphire. Don't you dare close your eyes on me! Stay with me!" I
Sapphire told Alexander the whole matter about my mother; she found her and the next day got to know that she died. Others might call her heartless but she couldn't make up her mind to go and be a part of her funeral. Actually, the damage inside her was too deep, too severe. Alexander didn't ask her anything or tell her to go there, for which she was grateful. After this incident, Sapphire was feeling lonely and most of the time, she stayed home with a sad, dejected face. Alexander could understand what was going inside her. So, he called her mother and father in his mansion to stay some days here, so that Sapphire could spend some time with his mother. Both Alexander and his father were ruthless mafias, but his mother was a kind and gentle woman. She loved Sapphire as her own child and tried to cheer her up. Sapphire was passing her days feeling downcast, upset and lonely. Alexander's mother, Lily also noticed
Third person's POV:Alexander hugged her tightly as Sapphire cried hard, holding onto him. He didn't understand why she was crying so hard, words even came unclear out of her mouth. He decided to let her cry and become light hearted. Who could put her Angel through such agony that she couldn't bear anymore? He couldn't tolerate her little pain. Whoever the person behind her tears, he wouldn't spare him/her. He would tear the person into tiny bloody pieces. No one could get away after hurting his angel. She was almost drained crying for so long. Alexander patted her head and cooed her ear soothingly. Finally, she stopped crying. "Angel, what happened? Why are you crying?" He gently asked. Sapphire held his right arm with both of her hands tightly but stayed silent. Her lips quivered. "You know angel that you can tell me anyth
Third Person's POV:"Mom, I am Sapphire." The woman's frown deepened but as she comprehended what the girl said, her eyes widened and mouth hung open. "Y-you a-are Sapphire!" She was shocked. "Mom, it has been many years. How are you? Did you ever remember me once in those years?" Sapphire asked, her voice was cracking slowly. She knew very well what would be her answer. But the daughter inside her who never got an ounce of motherly affection couldn't help asking this stupid question. The woman didn't say anything, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She closed her mouth again and looked another direction. Sapphire wasn't disappointed much, but still, tears were streaming from her eyes. It's okay, Sapphire. She was once ready to sell me, her own daughter. This is not something unexpected from her. It's okay. She thought.
One month later, Third Person's POV:Sapphire is trying to live her life normally. It's true finally she was able to sleep without fear. When she thought that her past tormentor was no more, she breathed in relief every time. A different, a strange type of relief washed over her mind. But emptiness was also there, each time took her over. Michael's one sentence still rang inside her ear. Your mother should care for you. She was a bitch to you in the first place. I got an advantage. Every time this rang inside her ear, tears stung her eyes. Michael was a vile, despicable person but what he said was true after all. Sapphire was grateful to Alexander that he killed Michael. She was also shocked that a mafia war was about to happen just to take Alexander Rodriguez down, but Alexander didn't inform anything to her so that she didn't worry about that, he kept everything to himself an
Third person's POV:"Alexander! No! Please let me out!" She said, her voice cracked. "Boys out!" Alexander shouted at the men standing in that room. They left the room immediately. "Angel, you have to face your fear. Enough of your running." Alexander said in a serious tone, holding her hands tightly. Sapphire was shaking her head vigorously. Her thoughts were puddled in fear. How many years had been passed, it didn't matter, she still couldn't forget her horrible past. Alexander grabbed her shoulder and tried to turn her toward Michael. "No!""No!" Sapphire struggled hard crying. But Alexander didn't care; he harshly turned her and dragged her where Michael was sitting, tied. "Angel, can you see? This is the vile bastard who hurt you, tainted your childhood. He is the reason of your nightmares, tears." Alexander asserted lou
