The whole evening at work, Laura was absent-minded but Tina made sure that she wouldn't make any mistakes.
At night, they both walked back to the home while Laura silently went to her bed to sleep and Tina stared at her thin silhouette with pity in her eyes.
She wished one day, God will give Laura what she wants and finish all her suffering in love.
...
ROME, Italy
Lisa, wearing a loose nightdress, straddled the baby in her arms trying to make him sleep. Finally, after an hour of struggle, he went to sleep as she put him in his cot bed and very gently covered him with the small quilt.
The door of the nursery was opened very quietly as a man wearing a robe entered, he walked very silently and circled the woman's waist from behind.
The woman knew from the very moment of his existence when she heard the door being opened as she smiled while holding his hands on her stomach.
"Is he asleep?" He asked in a low whisper.
As the woman nodded her head, he rested his head on her shoulder as they both watched their baby sleeping while his beard tickled her neck and face.
He smirked and teased her more while rubbing his face on her neck more, she laughed but soon covered her mouth afraid the child would wake up.
Augustus then stopped teasing her as he held her up in his arms and walked out of the nursery.
While Lisa gently closed the door with her free hand.
Augustus walked straight to his bedroom as he gently put her on the bed and threw away his robe.
"Finally the little monster leaves you alone." He joked as he came on top of her.
"Don't call my son a monster," Lisa complained lightly as he watched her drag the nightgown up over her head and tossed it aside.
"Hahaha I should be the one offended by him, he has taken you for 24 hours, and also you and mom named him Tommaso. Seriously, my son's name is similar to your ex-husband Lisa.. That is too much now.." He said grumpily, showing his displeasure.
"It was a coincident Augustus, mom wanted his name to be Tommaso as he looks like your twin. And so I named him Tom as a nickname."
Lisa explained to him calmly.
Since their son was born, they had been looking for a name but as a month passed by, they couldn't come up with a name. Just then Rheena Carlos decided to name her grandchild "Tommaso" which means "twin" as his facial features and his eyes are all similar to Augustus.
No one needs to do a DNA test to know it's Carlos's heir son. Rheena Carlos felt overjoyed when Lisa and Augustus agreed to her request but later when one day Maria called him Tom instead of Tommaso, Augustus frowned in displeasure and then realized that somehow he had ruined his future by agreeing to this name.
This name would literally haunt him for a lifetime.
In his presence, everyone called him Tommaso as it was strictly ordered by Augustus but when he was away everyone delightfully calls him "Tom"
"Fine,I don't want to ruin this beautiful night with my wife before that little "Tommaso ``calls for you."
He said meaningfully as he started devouring her, Lisa's body has completely changed since she has given birth.
She has gained more weight than he would ever think, but still for him she is the most beautiful woman and he loves her more than anything.
Lisa has no doubt that Augustus loves her a lot but she still felt bothered by her appearance as Augustus still looked handsome and charming and she, on the other hand, had turned into a cow with big curvy breasts, a bulging stomach, and a fat butt.
Her arms and thighs are not double but thrice more than she was before.
She was absent-minded when she stared at her husband's well-defined figure, she felt depressed and saw no response from her.
Augustus angrily pulled himself away from her as he sat abruptly.
"Lisa, stop focusing on other things, focus on me." His tone was harsh and complaining.
"Augustus, I don't think I am beautiful now." Lisa sat beside him.
"I had told you this before, you were always beautiful to me. And I mean what I said." He held her face and made her look into his eyes. Lisa bit her lips feeling nervous and embarrassed.
"I am sorry, Augustus." She apologized as she has again ruined his mood.
"Fine, then kiss me now." He said with a smirk Lisa didn't disobey him as she sat on his lap and then kissed him passionately arousing his desires as he excitedly again pressed her down.
"Never ever mention again that you're not beautiful. You have no idea how much I crave for your body, Lisa." He confessed, his voice was thick with desires between his strong thrusts making Lisa felt lovable and special.
They continued their work happily as Tommaso slept peacefully for the whole night.
Next day,
As Lisa turned her sore body she felt someone tapping her cheeks with little hands, she then felt something wet on her face as she opened her eyes and was stunned to see Tommaso sucking her nose like a lollipop.
She frowned and then gently pulled him away. "What are you doing Tom?"
"Tommaso....!" A loud roar came from the door as Augustus entered with a feeder in his hand.
Lisa rolled her eyes, "Yeah Tommaso.. Why did you leave him alone here? What if he would fall from the bed?"
"He's too cunning, he's never going to try to step down from this bed.. Aren't you?" Augustus picked him up from Lisa's embrace as he put the feeder in his mouth to drink.
"I can breastfeed him," Lisa told him as she stretched her hand to hold the baby.
"Go and shower first," Augustus ordered her strictly as she looked down and realized that she was not wearing anything at all. She can't let her son touch her while she is dirty.
She then stood up to go to the bathroom to take a shower, just then Tommaso started crying as he blabbed "mom" with difficulty.
Lisa walked back to Augustus to comfort their son but Augustus simply turned him away.
"Shameless boy, you're going to see your mother in the shower. Don't forget her husband is still here." He scolded him seriously and Lisa chuckled listening to his childish words.
"He's a baby." Lisa tried to reason with him but the next words of Augustus stunned her. "A baby who would turn into a man."
"Augustus..." As she tried to make him understand, he simply walked out of the room with Tommaso still crying in his arms.
"You take shower, I will take care of him."
BOOM
Lisa was frozen at her place for a moment. "What was that?" She mumbled under her breath completely at loss from Augustus's behavior.
Lisa went down after wearing a loose shirt and trousers, the villa Augustus had bought has 3 floors with a terrace floor separately.The first floor has Simon's room, his study room, a theater, a gym, and an indoor playroom for him.The second floor has Maria's room, her study room, a mirror room for her ballet dance practice, and the other two rooms are currently empty as they will shift Tommaso's stuff to that room once he will grow.On the third floor, Augustus and Lisa have their own bedroom, a study room for Augustus office work, a library, a music room for Lisa and one spare room is currently the nursery of Tommaso as Lisa has not hired any nanny for Tommaso so she needs to keep him near her on the same floor.While Maria and Simon stay on different floors.
BOSTON, USA"I am here to love you." A man's deep voice came into Laura's ear, she could smell alcohol and then the smell of lovemaking. She felt like drowning in an ocean and then she saw a pair of Hazel eyes looking at her deeply.For a moment, she felt like her soul was awakened by those eyes. She tried to imagine Augustus in that face but somehow that face changed into something she couldn't figure out as her body started moving slowly.She felt the pain and pleasure, her muscles tightened and as she was close to losing herself she was awoken by her alarm clock voice.BEEP BEEP BEEPShe hit it with her hand to stop, feeling irritated as she sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes just to find Tina standing in the doorway starin
The sensation of a plane landing down to the ground could be felt when a loud bump was heard as the wheels of the plane hit the ground.Laura touched her chest and could felt her heart beating unevenly.The slowing sensation of the plane was making her heart beating worst, her stomach churned at the feeling.As everyone started getting their way out of the plane, Laura remained rooted in her seat.After a while, a stewardess approached her, and just then Laura came back to her senses and stood up to depart.After going through the process of getting her luggage to all official requirements, she finally walked to the gate as her heart felt like dropping down by each step.She had told her sister that she would live in a hotel, she refused immediately but after she tried to convince her she agreed with difficulty and took her promise that she would stay at her home for dinner and then at night she could leave for the hotel.Lisa already knew that Lau
Tommaso stared at her face with confused eyes, his eyes were the same as Augustus. He again patted her cheek and blabbered something that she can't understand but when she looked down at him, it felt like mini Augustus is comforting her.She smiled heartily as she wiped away her tears filled in her eyes and then walked inside the villa.She had some food and then she went to the guest room to rest.She was feeling very much uneasy as she was afraid that she will see Augustus during lunch and how she will be going to face him?Her heart was not calm after turning and tossing for a while, she finally fell asleep.Thump... Thump...The heavy knock on her door woke her up. She sat up while rubbing her drowsy eyes. "Come in." She shouted in a hoarse voice.The door was unlocked, the people outside twisted the lock and rushed to her like a bullet, before she could look properly Maria threw herself in her arms."Auntie..." she said in excitement, whi
The day of Laura spent well with the kids, thankfully Augustus didn't come home at lunchtime and Laura was trying her best to leave the villa before she will encounter him.But who knows that Fate wasn't ready for her to leave yet as she was lost in playing with kids she heard a familiar male voice. A voice that had been ringing into her ears for a whole year.The voice she always kept in her head, his all words that he told her before the night she left Rome."Hello everyone.” Augustus greeted happily as he took a look at Laura and soon turned his face to Lisa, as he hugged and kissed her.Laura's eyes were on the floor, she was just staring at his shiny leather shoes that had turned into slippers now as Lisa helped him to change.She didn't dare to look up into his beautiful deep blue eyes, she nervously held her clothes thinking Augustus would come over and talk to her.But to her surprise, Augustus completely ignored her existence and went to
“Ahh..” The silent hotel room was filled with a young woman moans as she was again lost in her dream...“Nobody loves me.” Laura sniffed and tried to wipe her nose with her hand just then a gentleman offered her a handkerchief, she took it and wiped her nose as she threw it down and again started yelling sadly, “Nobody loves me.”Soon, her body was lifted up and carried away. She was then thrown on the soft bed, she still wept sadly just then the man tried to comfort her while giving her soft kisses on her neck that trailed down slowly, he removed everything from her body and held her tightly as he whispered the words in her ear.“I AM HERE TO LOVE YOU.”The woman opened her blurred eyes, the beard, the hazel eyes, that deep smile. She felt a jolt as she realized what that man is trying to do. But that instinct go away in a second as the man showered her face with kisses and soon pierced her entrance with his
Laura shook away the doubt in her head and tried to look at the people around her instead of Augustus.While Augustus on the other hand couldn't help but look in her direction with admiration as she looked gorgeous.He had a slight emotion in his eyes when he looked at her, he has never hated her but always pretend to be hard with her because he is afraid that his little affection would make her misunderstand him and things would go worse after that.In this relationship, Lisa had always sacrificed for him but he knew deep inside that when things come to her sister, she won't be able to sacrifice this time.There was an awkward silence between them as Augustus walked to her slowly and her heart started racing, she clenched the corner of her dress feeling nervous as Augustus's voice came."Thanks for bandaging my wounds that night."Laura looked up and stared right into his deep blue eyes, her emotions started getting out of control. His voice was so sof
While Laura was in a state of panic, she felt like the person has loosened his grip on her waist and he had started showering her bare shoulders with wet kisses, she gasped when something tickled her skin with his tongue.She wanted to push him away, but her body was melting by his kisses, she can't even shout as Augustus and Lisa were still busy with their thing.She had seen such a thing, and now her feelings had been aroused too.She cursed herself, she shouldn't have peeked on them. That's completely ill-mannered.She didn't know when she leaned on that man's body and heard a low chuckle from his mouth. "Why we shouldn't get a room?"The man offered, just then Laura realized that he has removed his hand from her mouth long ago and she didn't even notice it, she was too lost in his touch and pleasure.She turned and angrily pushed the man away, it was dark she couldn't see his face and run to the elevator. Her cheeks heated as she looked at them in t
One Year Later“It’s a great honor to interview you Mr. Aldrich or I would say the prince?” A woman in her mid-thirties sat straight with a sharp face and a gentle smile as she began her interview.“Steven would be fine.”“So, Mr. Steven first of all congratulations on the success of your new foundation for cancer patients. This would be the third center you had built in one year. Is there any reason why you’re so passionate about it, saving lives?”“I had lost my wife because of cancer and didn’t want anyone else to lose their loved one because of it. The treatment at the right time saves many lives.”“Oh, deeply sorry to hear about your loss.”“Huh, it was never a loss for me.”“Pardon?”“Please continue.”“So Mr. Steven, what do you want to say about Miss Steva’s praises for you and your wife? It’s been 8
Steven’s bitter laugh echoed in the room and the man standing in front of him winced in discomfort.“I never wish pain for you, Steven. I was angry with you, but that didn’t mean that I would want to destroy your happiness… No… Never…”“So, then why was my happiness taken away from me, Dad, why…” Steven asked, disheartened, and then unexpectedly started crying out while hugging the painting in his arms.“Steven…” The Old Master rushed to him to console him but he looked inconsolable.“I am still hoping that it is a dream, tell me, dad, it’s a dream… I want to wake up, wake me up… Wake me up…” Steven said in a choked voice and then started hitting his face like a mad man, the painting dropped to the floor and it showed a bald, petite woman in the embrace of a man that looked like Steven.Old Master's eyes widened realizing that it was Stev
“Are you sure?” The doctor asked Laura as he handed her a paper.“I am,” Laura replied to him firmly but still he looked hesitant. “It’s going to be fine,” Laura said calmly and then scribbled on the papers.The doctor sighed helplessly and then nodded to the nurse indicating her for the surgery to get started.***“DO YOU LOVE ME?”“ALL OF ME?”“I LOVE YOU.”“LET ME GO.”It has been eight hours since Laura was taken inside the OT and Steven stayed glued to his place waiting for her to come back, her voice echoed in his ears and he kept shaking them away, tiredly.“Drink something, it will make them go…” Augustus said as he handed him a cup of warm coffee. Steven looked at him blankly and then nodding his head, he gulped it down.“She will be fine…” Augustus comforted him while sitting beside him.&ldqu
The dinner went well, Steven didn’t ask Laura anything related to Steva and neither did Laura say anything to him related to her or his past.The next day, Steven left with Laura early in the morning afraid that Tyler would try to stop him, he can’t ignore Tyler’s plea. In his eyes, he is still a child. He had already informed Arthur about his leaving so he would be able to convey his message to Tyler.After what happened last time at the beach he didn’t want to repeat it as he took Laura away from this place as soon as he can.“Here we are,” At the request of Laura, Steven had brought her to meet her mother. “Can you come after some time?” Laura requested Steven as she didn’t want him to go inside with her, she needed some alone time with her mother.“Laura…” Steven was going to refuse her request but Laura pleaded softly, “Please… Steve…”“Fine…
“STEVA."Laura looked from the woman’s shoulder and saw Steven standing behind her with a bottle of water in his hand. His face looked angry as he clenched his jaw and then started pulling Laura with him in a rough way.“Steve…” Laura was completely taken aback by the sudden anger in him but he turned a deaf ear as he kept dragging her with him to the castle not caring about her health.By the time, Laura entered the castle, she was panting heavily and in desperate need of oxygen, at this moment she wasn’t even able to form a word but gasping for air with difficulty.Looking at her state and his brother’s stern face, Tyler rushed to them with a worried face.“Brother, what happened to sister-in-law?” He asked anxiously and it was only then that Steven realized what he had done as he turned and exclaimed, “Laura…”Laura's body fell to the ground as soon as he let go of her hand and
PRESENT“Steve…?” Laura looked up at Steven who was lost in his past with his hand pressing on his chest as though he was feeling the pain from it.“Huh…” Steven’s trance from the past broke and he looked down at the small face of Laura.“It’s alright… It’s gone…” Laura said while taking his hand away from his chest.“Hmmm… but it still haunts me…” Steven confessed in a hoarse voice.“Steve, people can’t change their past you need to move on with it,” Laura told him and he sighed agreeing to her words.“You were just like me, remember the first time, when I saw you crying for Augustus in my room, I knew exactly at that moment that if I won’t help you, you would end up the same way I did. Maybe that is the reason I never wanted to leave your side and stay with you every time so you won’t end up regretting just li
“Steve, do you love me?” Steva’s question made his heart skip a beat.He tilted his head in her direction and said with a bitter smile, “Do you still have a doubt?”Steva smiled with painful dimples and gasped in pain, “Why… Why Steve? Nobody loves me, so why do you?” She started sobbing.“I don’t have any reason to love you… I just love you…” Steven said truthfully and held her face closely and sealed the moment by kissing her lips, she tasted sweet just like she is, he couldn’t help but devour her deeply and then a sudden thud made him fall on the sand heavily.BOOM“No…” Steva said looking flushed and distressed and then ran away from Steven.Days passed to this incident, neither did Steven see Steva after that and nor did Steva try to contact him. They both again went back to strangers burning all the blissful memories of the past.But no m
THE UPCOMING STORY IS RELATED TO STEVEN’S PASTA middle-aged woman wearing a knee-length dress in a light pink color was chatting and laughing happily and then after a while, she turned and called the young boy who was standing near the door looking shy and flushed.“Steven.. Come here.”The boy wearing a plain shirt and trousers walked nervously to her.“Here, that’s my son, Steven.” Sofia Aldrich (Old Madam) introduced her son with a wide smile to the woman sitting in front of her. “Steven, Hello, I am Steva.” The woman offered her hand with a polite smile, Steven shyly stretched his arm and shook his hand with her.“So, tomorrow we will start the class, ok. I don’t want you to be late.” Steva said in a strict tone but her sea-green eyes were soft on him. Finally, Steven passed a smile to her and then nodded his head.“Great… Thank you so much Steva for agreeing on it&helli
After burying Old Madam in peace, Steven stayed behind with his father, and brother to complete the last honor and sent Laura back to the castle because her health condition wasn’t particularly good at the moment.“It’s the young master’s order.” Mr. Xavier informed her as he started pushing her wheelchair towards the car. Laura turned to look at Steven, reluctant to leave him, she spotted him standing under a large tree, his eyes staring blankly at the particular space.Soon, she saw a woman approaching him, when Steven noticed the woman’s presence, he frowned badly and then walked away with a stern face. Laura tried her best to have a look at the woman’s face but her face was partially covered by a long hat.“Mrs. Aldrich…” Xavier’s voice brought her back and then absent-mindedly she sat in the car.***“Laura…” As Laura entered the castle, she saw a woman standing in the
