“That..” Lisa said nervously. She could clearly see something hot building up from his abdomen. It was so dense that it was surging up.
Augustus took a deep breath and tried to suppress his impulses. “It’s nothing.” He said in a hoarse voice and then pulled her to his chest.
Lisa leaned on his chest quietly and listened to his heartbeat.
Augustus softly caressed her hair and then said, “When we’ll go back to Italy, I will give you a wedding.”
Lisa eyes twinkled with joy; all girls always wanted a wedding. Her first marriage was very simple as both she and Tom had the responsibility of their siblings and also her father was not even present there to give her away.
It was very ordinary and simple wedding, not the one like she was fantasizing since her childhood.
She felt warmth after hearing Augustus’s words
At the airport, Lisa and Simon were led by Lester to the place where private planes were landed. Lisa asked in surprise, “Does Augustus own this?”Lester nodded with a smile on his face. Lisa and Simon don’t need any boarding pass as they were flying in the private jet. They were taken inside the jet by Lester.The pilot of the jet saluted Lisa, introduces himself and then went to the cockpit. Lisa looked around in daze; it was a super light jet which can carry 9 to 10 passengers at one time.There was a mini bar, refreshment center, full enclosed lavatory, and executive seating with fold out table. It was first time for Lisa to fly in a private jet.She sat at the right side leather chair and Simon sat opposite her. Lester buckled the belt for Simon.Then Lester went to the bar and brought some water and juices for them. Lisa took a water bottle and gulped it d
Next day, Lisa helped Augustus in changing his clothes and also washing up. She fed him breakfast and gave him medicine too.She even combed his hair and moisturizes his feet and hands too. Augustus had a wide smile on his face all the time. Lisa was treating him like a baby.Ms. Davis was amazed by Lisa’s concern for Augustus and she secretly chuckled happily while seeing Lisa cutting Augustus’s nails.Augustus was all groomed and set for his appointment for the physiotherapist. After physiotherapist came, Lisa excused herself and went out to see Simon and Maria.Lisa had already told Augustus about it, by the time he would finish his physiotherapy, she would be back home.Lester drove her to the hostel and then Lisa went inside to meet Simon. This time the dean didn’t ask her to wait in fact she took her to his room personally.When the door was opened,
As soon as Lisa pushed open the door. She was choked by the smoke in the room and she began to cough.“Ahem.”She looked up and saw Augustus sitting at the head of the bed with cast on his right arm and his right leg was also covered with cast. There was a cigarette between his left hand’s fingers.The smoke curled up above his head making his face more gloomy.Lisa frowned as she walked in. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the bedside table.She couldn’t help but raise her voice, “Why are you smoking?” She went forward and snatches the cigarette from his hand.She then went to the window and reached out to open all the windows. The wind was warm and hot outside.“Why do you care if I smoke?” Augustus said coldly. His face was clearly showing his displeasure
“It isn’t your fault, what I did before I was getting it back. I didn’t know that love was so powerful Lisa.” Augustus’s tone was a bit regretful, if that time he would have allowed his mother to stay with the man she loved. She would have never become that much cold and cruel and also did not come against their love.“Isn’t there any way to solve this Augustus?” Lisa asked.Augustus looked at her and a hope flashed in his mind. “Do you mean..”“If you are allowed to make your own decisions and find your happiness than why doesn’t your mom?” Lisa said to him in a calm tone.Augustus shook his head in disapproval. “No.. No.. You must be kidding Lisa. Are you crazy? What the people will say?”“Do you care what people say when you were with me? Huh?” Lisa questioned while raising he
As Lisa entered the apartment, she saw Augustus sitting in the living room and chatting with someone. She changed her slippers and subconsciously went to the living room with bags in her hands. “Ah.. here she is..!” Augustus was the first one to notice her presence. Bella stood joyfully from the sofa and hugged Lisa immediately, “Finally you’re back. If you would take more days to come back Augustus would have made me mad.” Bella teased her playfully. Lisa smiled and pursed her lips. Just then Bella’s eyes fell on the bags Lisa was holding, she peeped inside the bag and asked curiously. “Hey what did you buy?” Lisa immediately hid the bags behind and smiled awkwardly. “Nothing, just some stuff.” She turned around, “I’ll keep it in the room” “Ms. Davis can keep it.” Before she could take a step Augustus’s deep voice came.
When Bella came out of Augustus’s building, she felt like someone’s gaze was on her. She turned around and looked cautiously. But she saw no one behind. She took a sigh of relief and went to her home. She was worried as what Victor would think about Augustus? She hoped that both the men would meet together nicely. The whole night, Bella waited for Victor to come back but he didn’t come. At last, Bella felt asleep while waiting for him. In the middle of her sleep, she felt someone’s arm resting on her waist. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned to Victor. “Where did you go?” She asked in hoarse voice. “Work.” Victor answered indifferently. “And you?” “I met my friend. Actually I want you to meet him soon.” Bella said sleepily and rested her head on his chest. Victor held her hand and did not say anything. He was lost in deep thoughts.
Augustus’s life had again started to be back to normal, he had started going to his office and work as usual. When he stepped into the hotel, everyone greeted him and cheered for his good health. Many employees handed flowers to him as respect. Augustus was overwhelmed. If it was before, he would be annoyed on this kind of welcoming but now he felt warm and good. As now he understands the value of someone’s love. As he entered his office, Giovanna was standing with a bouquet in her hands and warmly welcomed him. Lester took the bouquet and keeps it aside. Giovanna talked with him about the work and then left. At lunch time, unexpectedly Giovanna came to his office with lunch in her hands. Augustus nodded calmly and she started setting the table with food. As Augustus closed his laptop and stood up, his phone rang. It was Lisa’s call Augustus smiled and picked up the call. “Hello, how’s your
“Don’t worry, I am always here to protect you.” Augustus held her hand gently and comforted her as he can see through her worries. Lisa was dumbfounded. Augustus than gently kissed her lips and Lisa could clearly see the warmth and care in his deep blue eyes for her. “Lets’s eat.” Augustus said and pulled Lisa to the sofa. Both had their lunch peacefully but Lisa’s heart was still not at ease. When Lisa stepped out of the private elevator to the underground parking lot. Suddenly a group of reporters came out and started clicking her pictures. Lisa covered her eyes because of flash of the cameras and stumbled while she tried to run away from them. Her heart was beating fast, it was the first time that she had encountered this type of things. Soon, Lester came over with other bodyguards and protected Lisa and made her way to her car. Lisa hurriedly sat in the car, fastened her seat belt and
