Agustin's POV...
I intensified the search for Onika, hiring a couple more investigators. I have to know about her whereabouts in the earliest else I will go crazy, not just because every second without her feels like the death itself, but also I have to make sure that she is fine.
Where are you hiding Onika? I am like a dying fish out of the water without you.
My chain of thoughts broke as I head a knock. Composing my self I called the person in.
It was my PI. I warned him to show his face only if he found my Onika. does that mean? HOLY FUCK! It can't be....is it possible that he found Onika?
My heart nearly jumped out of my chest as that thought occurred.
"What is it just spit it fast."I said with urgency in my voice.
"I found her" he replied with a lazy smile if he has won the biggest lottery, which he apparently have.
Agustin's pov.....Half an hour later I was sitting in my private jet all excited that i am gonna met my princess soon. How will she react I am sure she is gonna be petrified. And after she discovers that I am her new boss i guess she is gonna have a fit. My mouth twitched and heart was beating like a hammer in anticipationChrist, I am behaving like a teenager with raging hormones but I can't control it I just don't believe this tomorrow I will lay my eyes on my princess after two fucking long years.To calm my heart a bit so that it won't come out of my rib cage I started thinking about our old days together. Those days which were not tainted by my torture.when I first met her...I was late for my office ahh I hate being late moreover, today I have to interview for my PA position as I have fired the previous one who was less of a PA and more of a gold digging tramp
Onika's pov.....Alex was finally recovering . These past couple of days were like hell to me. I didn't sleep for two nights but after I knew that Alex's operation went successful I felt like a ton of weight had been lifted from my heart. Though I am still feeling restless after what happened to Alex and also between me and my boss. I don't know how I am daily gonna face him and the fact that I am stuck with this company for another year to pay off my dept to him isn't helping either.Though I hate to admit it but the best way to calm my heart is to think about my good days with Agustin, the days when I was unaware of the monster that he is...I drove as fast as I could to reach for the interview I was already running half an hour late. Oh God why did I have to meet that idiot today of all day.I want this job so bad. After so much of hard work and sleepless nights I have reached up to here no way in hell I am gonna let it pass.
Agustin's POV...I am staying in a hotel nearby the company in which Onika is currently working. Though I can't control the beast in me who is urging me to meet her right now and take her back with me far away from here but I can't rush things like that. I know thing will be back to normal gradually and I need to be patient. I can't scare her off. Things are already so fragile between us.There is no doubt I my head that as she sees me she will run away as fast as possible in the opposite direction. Therefore I bought Blake Corporation.Buying the company from that bastard Theodore Blake and his idiot father wasn't an easy job. Jacob being the sweet self was just not able to handle it, so I had to take the matter in my I own hands. Though I had my own share of fun in doing so. Both of them were reluctant in selling their company but after I offered his father 20 times more the market price he agre
Onika's POV...When I reached office it was exceptionally quiet. What the hell happend here over night? I checked my watch I was already 10 minutes late. I was having an ominous feeling at the back of my head, nagging at me. My instincts telling me to run away. I ward it off, thinking that it's just because I am still disturbed by the past events.Why haven't any one arrived yet. Is it a holiday or something? But if it would have been so, Theodore would surely have informed me about it.Then I saw a security guard coming towards me. Before he could speak anything I asked him "where is everyone Robert." He took a few seconds to catch his breath before replying."Ma'am everyone is in the Seminar Room".I furrowed my brows in confusion, there is a seminar going on and I had no prior information?"Who is con--" he cut me off."Mam I don
Onika's pov....How can I be so stupid I should have anticipated something like this would happen as soon as I heard of this 'new boss' facade. I should have ran away with Alex far away from here even before he arrived. I am trapped now. How do I run away with these two hawk keeping an eye on me.He haven't changed a bit. How can he threaten everyone's job like that. He is still the same immoral bastard. Then again what else did I expected out of him he was never a good person I was just too love sick to admit that. I can't believe I married this sick person of my own free will. I should have thrown the ring right at his face when he proposed to me . Now It's my fault that everyone's job is in danger. If not for me he wouldn't have ever come here. May be he is doing this to get at me for running away.My attention was diverted as someone knocked at my door."come in.""You are miss Onika Coulin?" It w
Onika's pov....I wasn't interested in his acts all I wanted to know was"how?" I spoke aloud this time."I didn't get you, love"I wanted to laugh at his choice of endearment but refrained myself. "How did you get to know the truth." I clarified.He gulped the saliva down his throat and started speaking"My mother confessed. She was suffering from terminal stage of cancer when she confessed. She thought that after she throws you out of my life I will get another girl who will be deserving of me. Her words not mine. But I was never able to get you out of my mind. I wouldn't eat,wouldn't sleep , wouldn't talk to anyone. She felt guilty and accepted the fact that I can never be happy without you and told me the truth."He knows the truth just like that. Not my begging, not my pleading, not my crying, not my love, I spent my days and nights to make him believe that but all it took was a word from his mother.How the same words coming out of different people can
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Agustin's pov...."Get up" she abruptly said her tone dripping with venom."Baby ple.." she didn't let me finish"I said get the fuck up" she semi shouted.I didn't like her tone at all but I know her anger is justified so I controlled myself and stood up. I don't want to hamper my only chance at getting together because of my impulsive nature."You will do anything I say right?" A spark of hope ignited in my heart."Yes, baby anything you just have to ask." I said desperately Cupping her cheeks . Even a simple touch is driving me crazy how much I have missed her touch. I will do anything for her absolutely anything."I want you to get out of my life for forever, don't show me you disgusting face ever again." her voice didn't waver for once before saying that.My heart shank hearing that. "
Jacob's pov.....I could still hear Onika sobbing. I saw Agustin rushing out of his cabin. I know I shouldn't be here it's their personal matter but I can't bring myself to move my leg after hearing her pain filled voice which pierced right through my heart.How can Agustin leave her there like this . I hate Agustin for what he has done to her. He will destroy everything why can't he understand he can never get Onika by forcefully tying her to himself this is not gonna end well if he doesn't change his ways.I couldn't stand her crying anymore. I opened the door and what I saw made my heart cringe. She was lying there on the floor. Legs to her chest sobbing like an innocent lost child. I still remember how she used to be always smiling and welcoming, full of life. One misunderstanding have destroyed everything.Sometimes I really wonder does Agustin deserves her. After going through so much in
Four Years Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Third Person's Pov....Agustin DeLuca looked at the six years old bundle of joy infront of him, playing with her Uncle Jack.Iris DeLuca.Iris, the only source of peace in his otherwise turbulent life.A small gentle smile played on Agustin's lips, contrasting to his otherwise roughened features, the one which was only reserved for this tiny little creature whose soft giggles vibrated through the walls of his heart as he looked at her with pure awe and admiration in his eyes.He adopted her two years after Onika left, those two years were hard on him. Making peace with his demons.With the truth.The truth that tore his whole world apart, leaving him with a constant ache in his chest. Leaving him vulnerable. Leaving him dead inside.
Few Days Later....Agustin slowly got down on his knees and rubbed the top of his daughter's grave with his palm, ever so slowly as if touching something very fragile, as if brushing off some imaginary dust which might have found its way to his precious daughter's grave, almost in the same fashion as he would pat the head of his child if she were alive.He did it again, and again... and again, the motion becoming vigorous with every passing second, with every stroke, in a state of trance, he kept doing it till his hands were completely tired and he can't move it anymore. He stopped and looked at his palms it was a deep shade of red, he furrowed his brows as he realised he can't feel anything.Taking a shaky breath, he took out the orchids and placed it over the top of the cemetery, with the same frailness and tenderness as someone would show while dealing with their most loved possession, most precious poss
Onika's Pov....I looked at the divorce papers infront of me."I have signed the papers, your turn" Agustin said, his voice surprisingly void of any emotion.That was quick, Agustin was discharged from the hospital yesterday itself, though I was still unsure of what will be Agustin's decision, he could be so unpredictable that I won't ever bet on anything when it comes to Agustin, but somewhere I kind of knew this is what he will do, or at least I prayed, what I didn't expect was he will be this quick to take the decision.So this was the moment I have been waiting for, I am just a signature away and every thing will be over.I eyed the papers for too long as if expecting it to vanish in thin air."You can read the papers before signing," he said, mistaking my lack of response with with my lack of trust."Of course," I said.
Agustin's Pov...."Take legal action against me, I am ready to confess my crimes, Every. Single. One. Of. Them" I said sternly, even though I don't feel even legal actions will be enough, nothing is enough anymore, but that can be a start.Her lips parted in disbelief and she kept looking at me incredulously."Prove it Onika." I repeated again, I want this, I need this, desperately.She recovered from her shock.Her nose flared, breathing quickened, she closed her eyes forcefully, clenching her fist to her sides and before I can blink she slapped me, slapped me so hard my head turned to the other side."Are you trying to mock me?" She said."Is it still me who needs to prove things to you?" She sneered through gritted teeth, her eyes flushing with anger."How fucking dare you?" She clenched her teeth, I have very rare
Onika's POV...I stared at Agustin's pale figure laying on the hospital bed, IV line attached to his wrist, his eyes closed, a small frown on his forehead. Even with his eyes closed he looked troubled. I took few calming breaths to remind myself that he is fine now. I have been sitting beside his bed since past five hours now, and he haven't moved a muscle.He is looking so lifeless at the moment....my heart cringed at the thought. I think this is why Jacob didn't take me with him, he already knew how it's going to be. Thank God Jacob reached there on time, if not for him... I don't even want to think about it.I have never wanted something so desperately as I want for him to open his hazel eyes and look back at me. I brought my hand to his cheek, tracing a large bruise at the side of his cheek with my finger ever so lightly. He didn't flinch, didn't moan in pain, nothing.I know I should have been t
Third Person....Agustin De Luca was driving the car through the eerie silent, dark night, not aware where he was going, but he did have one place in his mind. Tears streaming down his face, feeling guilt so profound that his whole body was shaking with silent sobs, for he had killed not only the soul of the women he loved, but also his own daughter.Sickening sounds reverberating in his head.'You were pregnant--''It was a girl--''The report said there were marks of abuse all over your body--''Please stop''--It said you can never get pregnant again due to complications.''Don't.... please don't.''Congratulations Agustin Deluca..I am everything you ever wanted me to be.I am ruined.'The car stopped with a screech infront of a boxing club
Jacob's POV...I groaned in frustration at the noise interrupting my sleep, and pulled my pillow over my ear to block the noise. It took me some good time to get oriented and realise, it is past midnight and it's my phone ringing.It's my phone ringing?!I immediately woke up, my eyes wide open now, the first thought coming to my mind, Onika.I looked at the screen, it was Onika indeed, at this time of the night? My heart got caught in my throat, as different types of unpleasant thoughts started coming to my mind.I immediately picked the call."He--hello Ja--Jacob Ag--Agustin--" she started sobbing and her voice was completely hoarse as if she had cried her eyes out, I was not able to understand anything clearly."Agustin what Onika? please speak clearly I am not able to understand anything, did Agustin hurt you?"I clenched my fist tightly, waiting for her answer, holding my breath. I was already making my way towards m
Onika's POV...I came back home and directly went to check on Alex. After making sure he was sleeping peacefully, I made my way towards my room.My head hurts, my heart hurts, Jacob's face keeps flashing infront of me, his pained express, his troubled eyes, like had went through a series of endless torture.....all because of me. I can't wash away the guilt that is painfully squeezing my heart.Jacob went through all that pain, why didn't he ever tell me anything before?He went through hell, what for, so that Agustin stays happy. Huh.The irony of the situation suddenly hit me like a hammer, Can I even blame Jacob? Isn't that what I did as well, and the worst part is Agustin can still make me feel bad for him, like he is also a victim in all this, may be he is, as much as I would love to blame everything on Agustin somewhere I know he is hurt as well, one can't expect his
Agustin's POV.....It's been two hour since I told Kane to investigate into the matter, no call nothing, what is taking him so long?I was restlessly pacing around my room, any bit of sound had me running for my phone, my heart was about to come out of my rid cage.I eyed Onika's file, suspiciously. Maybe she might have mentioned something in her later entries. I took the file and opened it with shaky hands...........................................................# Day 30You remember Agustin once you looked right into my eyes and asked me, 'Was your love not enough for me that I betrayed you the first chance I got?'One beat, two beat, three beat and I don't know how many beats passed and I just kept staring at you, letting it sink into my head what you ju
