After resting and isolating herself from the outside world Lisa finally went to the cafe after three days since she came back from her disaster trip of Venice.
Leila was shocked to see Lisa coming over, she had already given her a week off but she has come back just after three days.
"Why you're here?" She asked while hugging her.
"For work." Lisa smiled weakly and answered. Leila could felt Lisa's sadness and emptiness that she was trying to hide from her smile.
Leila scanned her face carefully, "You can take more time if you want you kno....."
Before Leila could complete her sentence Lisa held her hand and said thankfully. "I am completely fine Leila and thanks a lot for being with me in my hard time."
Leila felt touched and squeezed her hand back, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." She smiled and then took Lisa to her office.
Lisa thought she wanted to discuss something about the work so she followed her quietly
In the evening, a driver dropped Maria at Sasha's house.Lisa sighed in relief when saw the driver stepping out of the car and walked Maria to her, she didn't want to see Augustus's face at all.She took Maria to the home and they chatted alot, as they both were making chocolate cake batter. Maria said to Lisa. "Mommy, do you know Aunt Giovanna had brought me a gown just like her to wear on her wedding."Lisa paused, seems like her mind had already forgotten that they are having wedding in just a week.Lisa frowned deeply and continued adding ingredients in the batter. "Mommy daddy loves you but he is marrying Aunt Giovanna why?" She asked in silliness."Your dad knows what he is doing." Lisa said and then handed her the bowl to mix. Maria took the bowl and started mixing it together."Mommy if I ask for something will you give me?" Maria asked suddenly.Lisa checked the temperature in the oven and turned to her. "Anything my princess
Cristian dropped Lisa at work and went to the Leila's office to see the growth and profit of cafe. Cristian trusted Leila a lot and he never questioned anything to her, just checking the papers are a formality for him to complete.He knocked the door and Leila's voice came. "Come in,"Cristian walked in and saw Leila busy with papers all around her, her hairs were tied in a messy bun and the shirt she was wearing was half opened, showing her cleavage and her skirt was a little up as she bent down to pick the papers.Cristiam coughed embarassedly. "Ahem... Ahem...."Leila turned and the shock and embarrassment could be seen on her face.Cristian looked away as she smoothed her skirt and then put on her jacket back."I didn't know it's the Monday." She said embarrassedly."Ahem.... its okay." Cristian said."Here..." Leila walked to him and handed him the papers she than explained him the details and also informed about the trans
As Lisa walked out of the dressing room with the dress on her arm, the lady worker rushed to her and took the dress from her."I am not buying this." Lisa told her and she replied. "Madam you're fiancé is buying this for your engagement ceremony."Lisa frowned at her words. "Engagement ceremony?"She ignored the lady and walked to the Cristian to clarify the things as she walked to him absent minded she didn't realize the tense atmosphere between Cristian and Augustus.She didn't even know that Augustus is also here.She walked carelessly and said annoyingly, "Cristian I told you I am not going to buy this dress. Stop being stubborn.""Darling, this dress would look awesome on you on our engagement day." Cristian said affectionately but his eyes were fixed on something else.Lisa paused, she felt like she had heard something wrong. Cristian had never called her "darling" ever and his eyes..... As she followed his eyes, she saw
The whole drive Cristian pulled a long face, even with bruises on his face he still managed to make an angry face showing Lisa his disapproval.Lisa completely ignored his tactics and was deeply involved with Leila in talking about the dresses she had chosen from the boutique.Leila told Lisa that she met her friend near the boutique, she was there for the pre wedding shoot of her, the friend she mentioned was Giovanna and it is then that Lisa realized why Augustus was in the boutique?"So he was there for his own wedding shoot while objecting me to not marry to anyone else." Lisa sneered in her heart completely feeling distressed about Augustus's behavior towards her.Cristian dropped them both at the cafe, Lisa asked Cristian to not pick her up today as he is bruised badly on his eye and it would be harmful for him to keep driving, he better takes some rest.Cristian agreed to her suggestion and then drove away the car after bidding good bye to h
Augustus was sitting on the floor, his clothes were all drenched and he looked haggard while holding a bottle of whisky and drinking it unmannerly.There were four people standing around him making a circle, like trapping him.He didn't look like a powerful heir of Carlos Family. He didn't even look like himself. The man Lisa saw in the afternoon and the man she is seeing right now in front of her looks completely different.She blinked her eyes in surprise and looked at Lester for the explanation."I told you he's not in his senses." Lester said apologetically, he than waved his hand to the four guards and all walked away from Augustus.Lester also turned and walked away giving them both some alone space but he didn't go far.He stood at the corner. From a fine distance, he could watch them carefully.Lisa was still glued to her place and staring at Augustus's silhouette in disbelief.Augustus's head was bowed down as he kept
After crying and sobbing for a long time, when finally both calmed down. Lisa took Augustus down to his office as his all clothes were drenched in water and whisky.She helped him take off his clothes and put him on the bed, she than took off her clothes too as he had hugged her before so her clothes were also turned wet.She took out one of Augustus's suit shirt and wore it.She thought of leaving but when she looked at his tired face, and also the way he was before. She felt pity for him.She thought that she is the only one suffering but it seems like Augustus had been suffering too it’s just that he didn't show it.She sat on the bed staring at his handsome face, it had been a long time she had seen his face from that close.His beard has grown, it seems like since they divorced he didn't shave at all. His beard is the same color as his hair color, dark brown. And his face looked thinner than before.She touched his beard an
After their passionate love ended, Lisa was terribly tired and exhausted, she closed her eyes to sleep and Augustus pulled her into his arms and let her sleep resting her head on his arm.He embraced her in his warmth and after making sure that she had deeply fallen asleep he finally left the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.He wore his three piece suit from his wardrobe, he then walked to the bed and saw Lisa pouting her lips in sleep, he clicked her picture secretly and then kissed his blessing's forehead before leaving the room and walking into his office while closing the door half closed.As it was past 9, he picked his connecting phone and called his secretary to order two large meals of breakfast for him.The secretary was stunned when she received his call, she was just supposed to enter his office but now she stopped at the second thought.Augustus put back the phone and reviewed the documents she had emailed, after half an h
In the evening, Lisa sent Cristian a message telling him to not pick her up from the cafe, she was afraid that if he and Augustus would again see each other they would start a fight again.She then waited for Augustus to pick her up but he didn't show up, after half an hour Lisa thought he must be busy and decided to go to his hotel to surprise him.And if he wouldn't like her surprise than she would made an excuse that she had come to pick her clothes that she had left.She took a taxi and went to his hotel. She was excited and nervous on her way. She didn't know how Augustus would react but she is sure that he would be happy to see her after all he loves her a lot.Last night, he even tried to end his life for her. Her heart felt low when she thought about that scary time.She then took some deep breath, "it won't happen again, I won't let Augustus leave me." She kept murmuring in her heart.As she reached at the hotel, she didn't use the
Lisa and Augustus walked out after smoothing their clothes properly and a satisfied smile on their face.Sasha pulled Lisa away as she scolded Augustus again, "I told you to be quick."Augustus bit his cheek to stop himself from laughing out loud. He would have never thought that he would ever make love to Lisa while she was ready to walk down the aisle for him and also the people around would knew of his intentions so easily.He walked out to the garden where the wedding set up was arranged.There was a small stage with white and blue floral decoration on it matching his and Lisa’s outfit.He walked to the stage as he stood in the center with the priest beside him, and Lester stood at his left side as his best man.Just than the main door was closed by the staff member and then all the lights gets dimmed as one bright light was flashed at the door and it opened with a click.Lisa was standing behind the door with her father beside her, Sasha
Augustus stopped when he heard her complains, he turned back to the door as he locked it."Cara, you're pregnant so it is supposed to be like this." Augustus tried to comfort her as she suddenly started laughing."Yeah right pregnant hormones, everything is now f**king hormones." She cursed heavily as she stared at Augustus unhappily.These days Augustus had been using the pregnant word so much that Lisa has started feeling annoyed because of it. If she needs to pee midnight, he would comfort her by saying something about pregnancy or if she would cry it would be blame on pregnancy, even if she laughed all blame on pregnancy.She isn't becoming mother for the first time, she already had Simon before but the way Augustus is reacting during her whole pregnancy journey she felt like this pregnancy is something out of this world mostly because this child would be the heir of their Carlos Family.Gosh, she has been so much frustrated by this shit."Cara..."
Augustus plucks at the sleeve of his tuxedo wondering the difference between blue and midnight blue. He can't understand these girlish things when Lisa told the tailor strictly that she wanted midnight blue color tuxedo not blue.Even Simon rolled his eyes on Lisa's concern with the color. Augustus and Simon are wearing the same color tuxedo as he warmly smiled at him thinking about his unborn son.Just than a knock of door brought him back as he looked at the door, "Come in.""Augustus..." Rheena Carlos entered as she looked at him carefully up and down with happy tears in her eyes."My son is so handsome," she praised him as she kissed his head lovingly."Grandma what about me?" Simon asked while pulling her dress as Rheena Carlos smiled, "You would look more handsome than Augustus when you will become a groom." She told him and Simon rolled his eyes as he walked out of the room in irritation.Both Rheena Carlos and Augustus chuckled behind him.
Lisa stood in front of a huge villa, her hands were sweating profusely in nervousness. Laura had sent her this place's address telling her to pick her up.She walked to the gate feeling anxious, she had a bad feeling about this place.What if her doubt turns true? And Laura is with Augustus right now?She took a deep breath before she rang the bell,Ding Dong..No one came out to open it, she again pressed it with cold sweat beads on her forehead.Ding Dong..This time, she waited patiently and soon she heard the movement at the other side and a man opened the door looking haggard."Augustus.” Lisa gasped in surprise....Augustus, whose shirt was disheveled on his broad shoulders with boxers covering his private part, rubbed his groggy eyes as he looked at the person in daze trying to make sure he isn't dreaming as the familiar voice suddenly jolted him out of his deep slumber."Lisa.” He called out in e
Feeling disgusted by herself, Laura washed off all the makeup on her face.She took a deep look at Augustus's sleeping face she felt heartache while thinking of leaving him but she has to leave now otherwise she didn't know if she would be able to ever see his face again in her life.It was late midnight when she walked out of his villa, luckily she had booked the ride here and the driver was still waiting for her. When she walked out the driver whose gaze felt like victory to her now it seemed like a dagger piercing into her soul.She felt ashamed of herself as she tried to cover herself nicely while wrapping the Cardigan around her body tightly.She walked to her room feeling weak, Augustus's words were lingering in her mind. It's true that a drunk person is a most honest person, he said what his heart wants and Augustus clearly wants her sister, Lisa.The whole time he talked with her he took her as Lisa and even for the single time he didn't curse Laura
Laura's mind went completely numb as Augustus was crazily kissing her. She felt frightened of his actions but soon she braced herself after all she is the one who wants to be with Augustus right?Now he is willingly giving her what she wants so she should not panic and try to take full advantage of this opportunity.She than held Augustus's arms with her trembling hands as she closed her eyes and opened her mouth willingly but at the exact moment Augustus suddenly stood up as he pulled her up and then picked her up.He walked to his room while staggering all along Laura held his clothes tightly afraid that she would fall from his grip.He threw her roughly on the bed as he grunted and fell on the bed heavily.ThumpLaura immediately pulled herself to the side as she saw Augustus's heavy body falling at the bed, he fell on his stomach and grimaced in pain.Just than Laura looked at his leg and found out that a piece of glass was stuck in his skin ta
Lisa felt like all her strength was drained out from her body when she finally opened her dizzy eyes, she remembered she was in Augustus's office and then she fainted.She rubbed her painful temples as she sat up and realized that Augustus had brought her inside to his room that is connected with his office.She walked to the washroom with weak legs as she washed her face.Augustus was already in the room by the time she came out, "God, you scared me I thought you left.” He said worriedly as he held her in his arms."What time is it?" Lisa asked him as she tried to pull herself away."Around 8." Augustus told her."What?" Lisa yelled in surprise. She came here around 4 and now it's already 8."I needed to go back," Lisa told him as she looked for her purse."Eat first and then I'll drop you home." Augustus said."I have a car," Lisa told him as she got his reply. "I had already sent it back by Lester.""Eat." Augustus commanded
Next day, as Lisa sat on the dining table to eat her breakfast that was close to lunch time now Laura hugged her from behind as she greeted her. "Sis"Lisa gave her a weak smile as she sat beside her and started eating like nothing happened to her.Lisa looked at her as she said, "You should go back now."Laura stopped her movements as she looked up at her with stunned expressions on her face. "Sis, what if Augustus follows me there? I don't want to go alone."Lisa frowned while listening to her, she suddenly lost her appetite as she put back her spoon. She than stood up and went back to her room without saying anything to her.Whole week passed, Lisa and Laura never talked about leaving neither Lisa was in touch with Augustus and he also didn't try to contact her either.Laura got a chance to go out secretly and met with Grace. She told everything happened that day, how their plan backfired and good point that Lisa saw them and blamed Augustus and now
Augustus was trying his best to take the pictures out from her grip but Laura's grip was tight, even the half pictures were torn she wasn't letting it go."Leave me Augustus, Leave me..." Laura shouted and thumped on his chest with her empty hand while her whole body was pinned down by Augustus's heavy body."Give it to me.” Augustus shouted angrily just than they heard the door being opened and got stunned to see Lisa standing at the door with lunch boxes in her hand."Laura..." Lisa yelled in utter shock when she saw Augustus holding Laura down with his whole body. Their bodies were stick together and Laura's long dress was up revealing her thighs."Sis..." Laura yelled in a low cry as her eyes were filled with water. Nobody needs to second guess what Augustus was doing with her.Without wasting a moment, Lisa rushed to him and pushed him away from her sister as she pulled Laura up and tidied her clothes while scanning her whole body."Laura, ar
