wound of his heart

" We are over, Mr. Wilson. You had your fiance and I had my things to take care of. It's over. " Katherine said.

His grip loosened and he let her go. It was very hard to digest her words. Still, he remembered how crazy she was for him and how possessive she was for him. He stared at her with disbelief.

He stepped back from her and took a long breath. He punched on the table with his fist. All the files and other stuff on it fell on the floor. 

Katherine had tears in her eyes. Being a strong woman she controlled them not to come out of her eyes. She has experienced so much since a few years that tears make a person weak. She doesn't want to disturb Adrian's peace but she doesn't know that there was no peace in his life after she left him. She felt sad about the whole thing. She knew it was going to hurt him. She didn't want him to be upset even she feels the wound in his heart.

" Adrian, I am sorry for what I did to you," she said with guilt after gathering some courage in her heart.

Suddenly,  she noticed the drops of blood from his left hand falling on the floor. She quickly walked towards him and held his hand to clean it with tear-filled eyes. He took away his hand from her hold and moved away from her.

" Don't touch me, Miss. Katherine." he shouted at her and said, " Your touch is making me feel disgusted."

" Remember, I am Mr. Wilson to you, not Adrian," he said clenching his teeth.

"Yes, sir," she said.

" Let me clean, you are injured and it's bleeding." She pleaded.

" The injury is not so deep compared to your betrayal." He said and turned away from her. She silently sobbed in her heart without showing her tears to him. 

She quickly made a call to the reception and asked them to send a first aid kit to the CEO cabin. In no time, she got the first-aid kit through the office helper. 

Even though she knew he was angry at her, She walked towards him and took his left hand.

" Just leave this cabin. I hate to see your face." He shouted at her with bloodshed eyes.

" Okay. I will leave your cabin only after cleaning your wound.  It's my job as your personal Assistant " she answered in a low voice.

Before he spoke another word, she started cleaning his wound with her shivering hands. He noticed her gesture and her face. His mind told him to push her and his heart told him to feel her touch.

" Why are you doing this Katherine? What do you want? " He questioned her.

" I need nothing. This is my job." She replied and left the room without giving him a chance to ask further questions.

He looked in the direction while she was leaving his cabin. He thought he would be satisfied by hurting her for her betrayal but strangely her tears caused a sharp pain in his heart. 

He doesn't understand how he will control his heart around her. He felt frustrated with himself and left the cabin. He got in his car and drove aimlessly on the city roads. 

" Why did you ask me to be CEO of your company, Emily? I can't break the promise with you or work with Kathie…" he muttered while driving.

He planned to hurt her by making her his PA. But he could not hurt her even for half a day because his heart was against his mind. Maybe LOVE is sometimes complicated. 

On the other side, Katherine was waiting for Adrian in his cabin.  She was tense as left in the lunch break and didn't return to the company till five in the evening. She waited more than half an hour but she didn't wait for more than that as she had to pick up Sam from preschool.  

She hurriedly left his cabin gathering all her stuff half-heartedly.
