Melting the Marble Heart

Scribe

Hi..

Matt took the sample of herbal tea to the hospital and gave it to Dr. Jack.

After that, he went to receive Ivy from the restaurant she mentioned.

In Classic Cuisine Restaurant

Matt’s POV

” I went inside the restaurant and saw no one was present there. So, I dialled Ivy’s number to call her.”

Artemis Provence

(softly) Matt..

” But I stopped dialling after hearing a familiar voice.”

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(turned towards Artemis)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(looks at her coldly) ❄️❄️

Artemis Provence

(walks towards Matt) How are you, Matt ?

” Everything changed about her, everything. From her appearance till her heart.”

Artemis Provence

(softly) It’s been a long time..

” Long time ? Great, just great !! She’s talking about the time when I missed her and waited for her to return, but she didn’t even think about me nor contacted me.”

Artemis Provence

(about to touch Matt’s cheek)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(steps backward)

Artemis Provence

(frowns) Matt ? *💢💢 Why the heck is he reacting this way..?*

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

( turns and walking away)

Artemis Provence

*No.. no.. I can’t let him leave me.* (runs to him and hugs Matt from behind by his waist) Matt, please don’t go..

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(stops on the spot)

Artemis Provence

(rest her head on Matt’s back) I missed you so much. It was my mistake to leave you for these many years.

Artemis Provence

(rubs her hand on his back) I missed your hugs, your smile, our blissful moments, which are still captured in my mind.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(clench his fist)💢💢

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(removes Artemis’s hand from his waist and turns towards her) ❄️ Oh really..?

Artemis Provence

(smiling happily) Yes..

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(dark voice) ❄️❄️ Then why didn’t you try to contact me once..?

Artemis Provence

(nervous) I..I..use to have a busy schedule. I..I.. didn’t get much free time.

” I can see through her lies.”

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ If you had tight schedules, then why did you come back, now..?

Artemis Provence

(looks at Matt desperately) I wanted to see you. I know that it was my mistake to leave your side that time. But I wanted to make my career so I had to leave.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ Did I stop you from pursuing your dream ? No..right?.. Moreover, I was happy that you wanted to stand on your own feet.

Artemis Provence

*💢💢Why the heck is he not trying to understand?* Matt, I..I..

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ Have you called me or sent me any message before leaving?

Artemis Provence

(holds Matt’s hand desperately) Matt, I’m sorry.. Please, let us be together again..

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️You know what..? Actually you never missed me. Everything you did was your pretence. Nothing else.(yanks Artemis’s hand harshly and shoves her aside)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

Artemis Provence

(stumbles)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(looks at Artemis darkly)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

Artemis Provence

(shocked by Matt’s behaviour)

Artemis Provence

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️ It’s better if we go in our separate ways and stay away from each other.

Artemis Provence

(widened her eyes)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(walks away)

Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)

(hiding at one corner and heard the whole conversation)

” I exited the restaurant and went towards my car.”

Artemis Provence

(screams her lungs out)💢💢 NEVER NEVER !! I WILL NEVER LEAVE HIM. YOU’RE ONLY MINE, ONLY MINE !!

Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)

😧 * God, why is she acting like a psycho..* (sneakily existed the restaurant)

Inside Matt’s car

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(rubs his forehead)

” I didn’t even feel anything after seeing her. Maybe what Grandpa said is true. Maybe I didn’t truly love her. It was just an attraction.”

” But for some reason, I feel betrayed by her.”

” I waited for her these many years while she was enjoying on other’s bed.”

Matt’s POV ends

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(shake his head) ❄️❄️Leave it. It’s better to stay from her since Grandpa already said.

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(about to start his car) ❄️ Wait.. 🤨where is Ivy..?

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(called Ivy)

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

(📱)❄️❄️ Hello, where are you ?

Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)

(📱) Coming, coming..😅

After a while, Ivy came and got inside the car.

Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)

😅Sorry for being late..

Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt

❄️❄️(silent)

Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)

(looks at Matt) 😣 *Why does he look scary today..? * (gulps)

Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)

* Doesn’t brother like sister Artemis anymore..? * (thinking deeply)

Then, they both went to the Langley mansion.

The next day…
