Taming his cold heart

**AUTHOR'S POV**

Slowly she regained her consciousness. She tried opening her eyelids but they felt so heavy for her. After much struggle, she managed to have a little sight of her surrounding which was blurry in her vision.

Memories of 3months came flooding into her head. She finally remembered why she fainted and how she ended up there, on the cold bare floor.

Trying to sit up but the weakness she felt wouldn't let her. She had fainted due to starvation. She wasn't even aware that she has been that way for 6days with no one bothering to check up on her. The small room stank from her body odour. It's been more than a week since she bathed last.

Tears soon rolled down her eyes as she recalled how her life had drastically changed. Her life became sour and turned in the worst possible way for her. Nobody cared about her anymore. She was abandoned to face the guilt of what she didn't even do alone.

The door opened slightly and a bright light shone at her face but she didn't even have enough strength to cover her eyes from the blinding light so she squinted her eyes. Being in the dark room for six days made her get used to the darkness.

"Get up" a deep male voice commanded which shook the small room she was in. She felt her body shivering at the voice.

She managed to look at him and fear gripped her. It was the same guard who threw her here 6days ago and left her to starve. Not only that, he was the one carrying the boss order of Making her be in pains and hearing her painful cries.

"Didn't you hear me?" His voice boomed again.

Lisa tried to lift herself from the floor but was just too weak. Her body felt heavy like a log of wood.

The huge guard walked over to her and yanked her up forcefully before hitting her across the face making her fall back to the floor.

"Aaaahhhh" Lisa yelled in pain. The guard yanked her up again. It was a wonder how she got the strength to shout. She didn't even have an ounce of energy in her body.

"I hate disobedience. Next time I say do something, you do it with utmost obedience" he said coldly before dragging her out of the room by her hair.

Tears felled from her eyes as she was dragged out by the hefty guard. She dare not shout or cry outloud knowing fully well what Happened last time she did.

He opened a door before pushing her into a dark room. She fell again on the floor with a loud thud.

She cleaned her tears before hugging her knees. Her life was a living hell right now. Death was definitely better than this. Her life which was once full of roses turned sour overnight. She began reminiscing about the past.

It was just 4 months ago as she recalled when.....

*****

It was evening when She walked into the room she and her twin sister shared. They lived a luxurious life. Even though their dad had passed away, the inheritance he left for them was enough up to their third generation. Her dad was a multi billionaire but unfortunately, the money he had wasn't even able to save him from the hands of death.

Lisa was utterly shocked as she looked around and found her sister ripping out the pages one by one from their album which held their childhood memories.

"Lia stop!" Lisa yelled at her twin sister who looked at her with rage. Lisa immediately walked to her and snatched the album from her ripping it more in the process.

"Get out. Stay away from me. Get out!!!" Lia her twin sister yelled hysterically. She was still traumatized by what had happened to her few months back.

Tears filled Lisa eyes as she was being yelled out. Lia was raped a few months back and that made their siblings and sisterly love to turn sour. Lia accused Lisa of being the one planning her rape because Lisa was jealous.

Everyone believed her because she was traumatized by the incident even though Lisa had tried to clear her name of the accusations. That's was when they were slowly breaking apart.

"Lia, what are you doing? You destroyed our album.....Our memories" Lisa said softly understanding her sister's predicament.

"Memories my foot. You are no longer my sister. Not after everything you did. You destroyed our memories a long time ago" Lia said angrily.

" Now leave" she grabbed Lisa arm and dragged her out of the room.

"Leave? How can I leave you in this state. Come on, let's talk things out" Lia said softly while trying to approach her sister.

"No!! There's nothing to talk about just leave" Lia screamed suddenly making Lisa to halt in her steps

" Why are you doing this to me? We are sisters for Christ sake. Why do you hate me so much?" Lia asked trying to control herself from crying but her cracked voice gave her out.

"sisters you say? Why can't you understand that you are dead to me Lisa. There's no ties or connection between us anymore. I hate you" she snapped. She grabbed her hand and pushed her out of the room before slamming the door against her face.

" Lia, please open the door. We can talk this out. Don't hurt yourself please" Lisa pleaded but her pleads fell on deaf ears.

"I hate you so much Lisa" she yelled from inside. "So much . Just leave.. " Lia yelled even more.

Lisa closed her mouth with her hand trying to control her tears so that she wouldn't cry out.

She rushed out of the house to the bar to grab a drink. Having your own sister hate you to her guts is the worst thing that could ever happen to anybody.

Each day, those were the words Lisa heard her sister say to her.

"I HATE YOU"..... The words kept ringing in her ears as she made her way to the bar and ordered her drink.

Within a few minutes, she was already drunk. She had low tolerance to alcohol unlike Lia.

"Another shot.... Now!!" She yelled at the bartender who lazily brought another round of whiskey for her.

Her eyes watched those who were on the dancing floor, dancing to the beats of the blaring music. But her mind wasn't there. Even though she was drunk, all she could think about was Lia who doesn't let a day pass without proclaiming her hatred to her sister.

Speak of the devil, her phone rang. Drunkily, she reached out for her phone in her pocket dropping her bottle of whiskey.

Her vision was blurry yet she could see the caller.

It was Lia.
