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
In the bathroom, Lisa Rose handed the Lisa a wet towel to clean the stain on her dress. Lisa took it and lightly rubbed it on the stain while she asked, "So, you and Cristian. It's been how much time?""Uhmmm, not much...." Lisa Rose replied feeling nervous."A month?" Lisa asked as she looked up at her and handed her back the towel."Uhmmmm, a week...." Lisa Rose replied in hesitation."So just in a week Cristian had made you your fiancé?" Lisa asked in a serious tone while staring into her eyes."I......I....." Lisa Rose stuttered."Did he know about your past.....?" She asked."No......No..... he doesn't. But.... but I have changed Augustus had helped me and now I am a change person." She defended herself."I don't trust you and will keep my eyes on you. If you dare cheat Cristian or his family I'll make you regret it and if you're truly in love with him than I bless you both the happiness you both deserves..." Lisa w
As dinner finished, Monte Carlos gave a tour of his house to everyone. His house has three floors, one floor has bedrooms and guest room. While other was set as his office with library and a meeting room.On the third floor, there was a flower garden same as Rheena Carlos has at her home and a tea room and a music room.He made it same as Rheena Carlos's home so that she won't feel bore here with him. As they all entered in the music room.Rheena Carlos held Lisa's hand and requested sweetly. "Why don't you sing a song for us Lisa?""Uhmmm Mom....." As Lisa was feeling shy Augustus held her shoulder and said. "Yes why not Mom. Come Lisa..."He pushed her wheel chair to the piano and then he lowered his head and whispered into her ear. "Sing what you feel for him...."Lisa turned to his side and stared at him in disbelief, Augustus just smiled and kissed her forehead reassuring her that everything is fine with him if she sings for Cristian.
Victor looked at her angry face and sighed in relief as she looked like the old Bella he knew..."Look at yourself.... If I didn't steady you at the right time you would have fallen hard on the floor. Did you forget that you're pregnant now?"Victor scolded her as suddenly Bella realized that what he had said made sense. She should not be acting so carelessly next time.But what's her fault if he suddenly showed himself up to her in the middle of the night while she is alone at the house.She sneered. "Who asked you to come up like a thief...? .. I got scared....""Would you let me in if I had showed you my face earlier?" He retorted."Ahhh....." Bella was dumbstruck as she stared at his handsome face searching for the words to make him go...At last only two words came out of her mouth, "Get out....""Huh......" Victor took a long sigh as he shook his head and then suddenly he picked her up in his arms."Ahhhh...... put
Next day, as Bella woke up the memories of last night flashed into her mind. She looked down in panic as she pushed away her blanket just to see her naked body.She frowned, "Where's Victor?"She than stood up, wore her night dress and robe and went to the washroom to Freshen herself, she than went out and saw that the floor outside looked clean and there was no trace of broken jar.If she remembered correctly last night, she dropped the glass jar of cookies.As she was still standing in a trance, Lisa came from behind and asked her to join them for breakfast.Bella nodded her head absentmindedly as she followed her.She sat on the table as she greeted the kids and Augustus with a weak smile."Why did you lock your door last night?" Augustus asked her out of the sudden while he was eating his breakfast."Cough, Cough....." Bella choked on her food as she heard his question."I forgot to unlock it..." she made an excuse a
As Lisa was busied in the kitchen with the kitchen staff she heard a familiar voice singing. She stopped as she subconsciously walked to the door while leaving all the things undone in the kitchen.She stopped at the door of the hall as she saw Cristian sitting on a chair playing an upright piano.Everybody around was filming him singing as Lisa stood at the side of the door and listened to his voice attentively.THERE GOES MY HEART BEATING,CAUSE YOU ARE THE REASON,I'M LOSING MY SLEEP,PLEASE COME BACK NOW,AND THERE GOES MY MIND RACING,AND YOU ARE THE REASON,THAT I'M STILL BREATHING,I'M HOPELESS NOW,I'D CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN,AND SWIM EVERY OCEAN,JUST TO BE WITH YOU,AND FIX WHAT I'VE BROKEN,OH' CAUSE I NEED YOU TO SEETHAT YOU ARE THE REASON,THERE GOES MY HAND SHAKING,AND YOU ARE THE REASON,MY HEART KEEPS BLEEDING,I NEED YOU NOW,
As everyone was busied in their ownselves, Rheena Carlos and Monte Carlos called them over on the stage for the family picture.Augustus walked with Lisa and kids while Grace and Cristian walked with Tony leaving Lisa Rose behind.Lisa Rose not dare to step on the stage by her own neither Cristian invited her.While seeing them both, Lisa felt distressed and as she took a step to step down from the stage to call Lisa Rose who was standing down feeling embarrassed.Augustus held her hand tightly as he pulled her to stand beside him, his fingers intertwined with her as he stood straight.The whole family stood together as the reporter started getting pictures of them from the different angles.Lisa cast a glance on Cristian but his face was neutral while Grace was smiling widely at the reporters.After reporters got the enough pictures they all stepped down from the stage as Lisa approached Cristian to clear the misunderstanding between
As Augustus was counting his blessings, there was also someone who was looking for her blessing....Bella felt completely bored at the party, she didn't want to stay in the party at all as she saw everyone as a couple and chatting and whispering softly in each other’s ears she felt complete jealous and insisted on leaving the party half way.Augustus felt like she was being stubborn but Lisa tried to make him understand that she is not in the condition to be refused or argued.Augustus shook his head in defeat, "these women..." He murmured under his breath as he signaled Lester to drop Bella back home safely.Before leaving, Augustus gave Lester leave for two days as it was New Year, he then went back inside with Lisa to attend the party.Bella walked to the car feeling tired and frustrated, Lester opened the door for her respectfully as she sat inside.Lester than sat at the driving seat as he started the engine and drove away
