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
Lisa locked herself in the bedroom as she wanted to be alone for the moment. She tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep. She didn’t know if Augustus had come back yet or not? She was feeling restless and then she looked at the clock. It was past one ‘o’ clock. She frowned and the woman that came today, her face came into Lisa’s mind and the way Augustus followed her made Lisa having bad feeling about it. “Is she and Augustus…?” Just when she was lost in her own thoughts. She heard the locked being unlocked from the outside. She immediately turned herself and pretended to be asleep. Augustus stepped inside and glanced at the woman’s back. Just from a single glance, he knew that the woman is still awake. He went straight to the washroom and took a bath. After bath, he walked towards her step by step. He stood beside her and stared at her little face. Her eyes were blinkin
Next day, when Lisa woke up her head was dizzy and she couldn’t help but rubbed her uncomfortable temples. She then looked around with drowsy eyes that she is indeed at home. But how she came at home? Does Sasha send her back? She didn’t remember anything at all. At this moment, her stomach growled loudly in hunger. Lisa couldn’t help but to stand up and then she discovered a shocking thing that she is not wearing any pants. She was sleeping in her shirt and underwear. Except Augustus who could strip her like this? On the name of Augustus she felt a little worried. Is it possible that Augustus had brought her home last night? Lisa walked to the washroom and washed herself quickly. When she went down, Ms. Davis was already cooking lunch and the smell of food made Lisa hungrier. She hurriedly walked into the kitchen. When Ms. Davis saw her coming, she greeted her politely. “Madam you’re awake. Lunch
Those words were a bit unexpected for Simon and Maria. As they both were kids they didn’t know the real meaning of marriage at all. Simon stared at Lisa and Augustus’s face trying to figure out the words in his mind. After a moment of silence he said, “My dad has died so it means you’re now my step dad?” The word “step-dad” felt a bit unpleasant to hear but still Augustus nodded calmly. Simon turned to look at Lisa, whose face was turned pale at the moment and she looked quite nervous too. He held Lisa’s hand and said, “Mommy, you have married a good man I hope daddy must be happy in the heaven.” After hearing such wise words from Simon’s mouth, Lisa couldn’t help but hugged Simon and sobbed, “Yes, he will.” She said in a choked voice. Seeing Lisa sobbing, Simon wiped her tears and then Maria also approached them, she held Lisa’s shoulders and said s
Hearing the straightforward words from Rheena Carlos’s mouth, Augustus snorted. “Will you let Lisa bear the child this time mom?” He asked in a sarcastic tone. Rheena Carlos heart skipped a beat when she heard her son. “w.. what do you mean?” She hesitated. “Huh..” Augustus smiled sadly and then said, “I knew it was you who let Lisa miscarriage happened?” There was a hint of disappointment in Augustus’s tone. “A…Augustus…” Rheena Carlos couldn’t believe it and she felt like her heart had been squeezed out of her chest. She pressed her chest in pain and then fell to the ground heavily. Seeing this, Augustus immediately rushed to her and held her in his arms. “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uneasy?” He asked anxiously. Seeing his worried face, Rheena Carlos smiled slightly and touched his face, “Didn&rsq
Next morning, the whole family of four was having breakfast on the dining table. It was a cheerful site to watch. “Grandma has invited all of us to her home today.” Suddenly Augustus spoke between eating his breakfast. Lisa smiled and wanted to reply but she then realized that he is not talking to her but to the kids. Both kids were excited. “Wow” “We have to be ready before 6 okay.” Augustus announced, Lisa understood he is informing her indirectly. Lisa finished the breakfast and then took kids with her in the room to try on their dresses. Finally Lisa chose 2 dresses for both kids. She made a small backpack with their extra clothes and some toys. At first, Lisa helped both kids to take a bath and then dress them up nicely. Maria was wearing a short sleeves yellow color dress with gray tights and pumps. While Simon on other hand was wearing, a white color polo shirt with black jeans
