As Lisa entered the ward, she saw Bella’s eyes were trembling in sleep. She walked to her in worry and then held her hand to comfort her.
"I am here, you're not alone..." she whispered softly and then rubbed her temples to ease her frown.
Bella gradually calmed down and lost back into her sleep.
In the afternoon, finally Bella woke up moving her hands slightly to take off the mask. Lisa immediately stopped her and told her about her difficult situation and also revealed that she is having "twins"
A smile appeared on Bella's face as she heard of her babies but soon a layered of mist appeared in her eyes as she whispered Victor's name with difficulty.
Lisa shook her head indicating that he didn't come to see her after that.
"Do you want me to call him?" Lisa asked her after thinking for a while.
Bella just shook her head as her tears started streaming her cheeks, she turned her face and it wet her pillow.
Lisa gently wiped
Lisa spent more time in kid's room. She was nervous and afraid of how to face Augustus and how to explain things to him?She still felt that discussing Cristian with him or just mentioning his name would brought unhappiness to their life, but hiding the things would made Augustus suspicious about the things that don't even exist.She carefully thought about everything and then after taking a long deep sigh, she finally twisted the door knob to step outside.It was dark and pin drop silent in the dining room. Lisa thought that Augustus had already gone to the bed so she walked to the bedroom and as expected she saw Augustus asleep on the bed.At first she tried to walk to him but soon she stopped as she stood close to his side.She sighed again feeling confused about her feelings, she than shook her head and gave up the idea of explaining him things at the moment.She went to the washroom to change her clothes.Just as the door was clo
Lisa turned back and stared at him, she was extremely shocked from his weird questions from her."What do you mean?" Lisa asked him as she stood in front of him.Augustus stared at her with his cold eyes, there was no love and emotions in his eyes. It was completely blank."You know what I mean... so did you really fall in love with that f**king Silas?" He asked, his tone was showing his displeasure that was deeply hurting Lisa."How could you?" Lisa took a step back in disbelief as she stared at him.A sarcastic smile appeared on Augustus's face when he saw Lisa's reaction.Lisa felt extremely disappointed and suddenly she pounced on Augustus angrily hitting his chest hard like a wild cat."How dare you Augustus...How could you...."She kept hitting him as the glass of wine fell from Augustus hand on the carpet and he held Lisa's both hands and pinned her on the wall.He held her wrist tightly and mercilessly pu
"I have bandaged her. She is completely fine, but you need to be careful with the water until the stitches get dry...." Doctor suggested Augustus as he stood up to leave.Augustus nodded his head as he thanked him and then Ms. Davis came over to send the doctor off.The room was quiet, as Augustus's deep blue eyes were staring at the petite woman on the bed.He felt regretful and remorse as he looked at her bandaged foot."Lisa......" He sighed heavily as he walked to the bed and touched her right foot which was covered in bandage.He very gently moved his fingers on her foot and then kissed her foot feeling pity for her.Just than a knock came, Augustus glanced at the door and said, "Come in."Ms. Davis came in with broom, "I need to clean, Young Master." She said apologetically when she saw Augustus's poker face.Augustus nodded merely, as his hand was still holding Lisa's foot and his eyes were deeply focused on it, seemed l
Meanwhile at the military base,A loud crisp sound was heard in an office filled with only three people at the moment.Paa......."Bastard...... do you really want to kill me?" A man over fifty years old said while holding his chest painfully."My decision is final dad..." Victor replied as he stood straight in front of his father instead of the slap he just got from him now."You........" the old man was fuming in anger as he glared at his son."Dad .... It’s okay. If it is meant to be....." a woman's sweet voice came who was holding the old man's arm in concern."No..... no my dear..... Since I'm alive I won't let him divorce you. He could divorce you upon my death." The old man said stubbornly.The woman rolled her eyes when she heard that and her eyes became extremely cruel for a moment she felt like strangling the old man from her own hands but soon she came back to her senses and her expressions soften again.
Next day, as Lisa woke up she felt heaviness in her foot as she tried to move it she felt painful. She groaned in her sleep feeling restless as Augustus's husky voice came into her ear making her whole body shiver."Hmmm don't move, the stitches are still fresh...""Stitches...?" Lisa frowned as she tried to recall what happened to her?"Yeah, you got 6 stitches under your foot." Augustus said in a hoarse voice as he sat up rubbing his eyes.Lisa frowned as she looked at his bare chest, he's always naked when he sleeps.She rolled her eyes and then looked away from him.Augustus put her foot again on the pillow gently and then stood up to go to the washroom."Don't move" He warned her as he saw her struggling to get up.Lisa lay helplessly on the bed.Soon, Augustus came out he helped her to sit up and then picked her up in his arms. Lisa frowned as she subconsciously pushed his chest. "What are you doing?""What?
As Augustus brought Lisa down in his arms, Bella, Maria and Simon all three were already sitting on the dining table having their breakfast.As they saw Lisa coming over in Augustus's arms Simon was the first to reach her."Mom, how are you feeling?" He asked before Augustus could place her on the chair."I am fine, Simon." Lisa answered him as Augustus gently put her on the chair.He then brought a tiny stool as he placed it under her bandaged foot."Simon you shouldn't leave your breakfast like this.” Augustus told him as he pulled his chair indicating him to come back to finish his breakfast."I was worried for mom." Simon explained as he walked to his chair and sat."Don't worry, I will take care of your mom." Augustus said as he touched his head but Simon gave a look to his mother. "Like really? He would......"Lisa gave Simon a weak smile trying to ensure him that everything is fine between her and Augustus.
Days passed by as it has become Augustus's routine to daily help Lisa in the bath and then dress her up. After the first day, Lisa had insisted him to call Rita for her help while he should go to his office for work.She didn't want him to delay his work because of her.Bella had offered her willingly to help but Lisa refused politely as she didn't want any harm to her health.Rita had come over to help Lisa while Augustus was away but when Augustus came back he would send Rita away and took her to the bed by himself however he has started spending a lot of his time in his study working.Lisa never complained about it neither she showed any concern to him. Since the last argument they had about her and Cristian's friendship Lisa has quietly distant herself from him and they both rarely talk nowadays.In front of kids they are normal but in reality they are not. Augustus is trying his best to let Lisa forgive him but the knot that had been tied in L
As all four stared at each other, Rheena Carlos asked in surprise... "Do you all know each other?""Yes Mom. He.......""He worked in the Finance Department at the Hotel." Augustus cut off Lisa's words and said.Lisa was excited and happy to see Cristian that she completely forgot Augustus's existence beside her.She immediately shut her mouth when she heard Augustus's cold voice interrupting her words but her gaze was still fixed on Cristian.However, Cristian's face was frowning slightly as he was staring at her bandaged foot and the wheel chair."Oh dear so you're working in our hotel?" Rheena Carlos turned to Cristian."No I left it quiet early mom.” Cristian said to her making Augustus frowning in displeasure. "Mom?""Oh my child... Did Augustus bother you?" Rheena Carlos asked him lovingly."No Mom, I just didn't want to work under anyone." Cristian told his reason."Great... how about set up your own
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
