1 Prologue

The only sounds which could be heard were of birds, rustling of leaves and the soothing sound of the flowing water.

She was sitting on the bench, her gaze fixed on the lake, but her eyes had a far away look; as if her mind was playing totally different scenarios. Alexander who brought her here to see a smile on her face was staring at her intently; watching her every move like a hawk.

He sat down on his knees in front of her and held her soft hands in his large ones.

"Belle? Mio koukla? " He called, his voice soft. His eyes which used to hold so much disgust and hatred for her had despair and pain in them.

"Please say something." He pleaded, kissing her knuckles.

"I want to hear your sweet voice." His voice was hoarse, laced with his pain.

She did not even look at him. If it would have been any other day in the past then she would have suffered his wrath for not paying attention to his words but the tables had turned now.

"I pains me to see you like this."

Her eyes were void of any emotion. "That's your doing. You used me and broke me like a doll. You are a monster who can never be loved." Her voice was dead.

He took her cold hands in his large warm ones. "Please don't say this. Give me a chance. I will heal your broken heart." He begged. But it was too late. She was not going to listen to him, just like how he did not listen to her pleas.
