2024-10-29 19:42:56Without giving Laura any chance to explain Tina left the bathroom with utter disappointment and slammed the door hard venting out her anger.
BOOMLaura fell to the ground feeling weak, all the past incidents flashed into her mind as she closed her eyes. Her heart weighed heavier with guilt and then a few hot tears streamed down from her eyes. She wished she hadn't been too foolish to do what she had done.After a few minutes of self-guilt, she finally took the courage and then went out. She has to explain the things to Tina and to Steven too.She walked out and scanned the place while looking for Tina but she was nowhere to be seen, she then looked at the corner where Steven, Tyler, and a woman were standing. They were in a heated argument, Laura felt surprised when she saw how serious Steven was and the way he was trying to suppress his anger.Feeling worried, she walked to him. "Steve?"They all three turned in surprise and the woman whispered, "SteveRelated chapters

Augustus's brows furrowed together, he clenched his jaw and then revealed, "She still likes me Lisa and she thought that she can make me jealous from Steven when in reality I just care for her future, I know I have been not treating her rightly all this time but I will try my best to make it up. It's just... Whenever I see her being stubborn, I remember all the old times when she had tried to harm our relationship. I am afraid that again she will do something and you will again surrender to her easily and leave me... I... can't live without you and my kids... Lisa.." Augustus said his worries and Lisa felt overwhelmed by his confession."I will talk to Laura about everything and for the time being, it would be better if you stay away from her life, Augustus. Your constant interference in her life is making her confused with you and Steven. I know she has something for him but still, I will talk to her and try to explain all the things that you did. If she chooses to be with Ste

***"Where are you going?" Augustus questioned with his brows furrowed as he saw Lisa coming down from the stairs, dressed nicely."I had told you, Augustus." Lisa rolled her eyes at him while walking towards him at a slow pace."You told me that before you got ill and it's been three days now." Augustus replied back and Lisa frowned, "Still, I am going." She announced and then walked to the main door as Augustus held her hand to stop her."Lisa, I think you should go to the doctor first." He advised but Lisa rejected it bluntly, "No need.""Why?" Augustus raised his brow in questioning feeling confused. "Because I already know what's wrong with me," Lisa said and then gave him a playful smile."How do you know about it, What do you..." Augustus scratched his forehead, lost in deep thought, and then something hit in his head as he stopped and looked at Lisa with wide eyes, "No... are you sure?"Lisa nodded her head with a huge grin and then Augustu

Laura was sitting on the bench, her gaze kept going on the door of the ER as multiple nurses rushed in and out of it. She was quite apprehensive about the future and her palms started getting sweaty at the thought of it. Her legs were slightly trembling from the nervousness as she was waiting for the doctor to come out of the ER and report her about her sister's condition.Just when she was lost in her worries, her phone rang, making her jump in fear. She quickly looked for it in her purse and then answered the call with trembling hands, "Steve..." She cried out in a heart-wrenching voice making the other person anxious."Where are you?" Steven asked straightly and Laura replied with a shallow breath, "Hospital," Just when she was supposed to give him the full name of the hospital, she heard the heavy footsteps and looked up, her eyes widened, and then she lowered it with guilt as she quickly stood up while hunching her shoulders and holding her phone tightly in her hands.

"You should eat more," Steven said with concern as he filled her plate that was half empty. Since the beginning of knowing her, he knew how much of a foodie she is and would never skip her food no matter what but now looking at her, with empty eyes and blankly looking at her food, his heart tightened and he felt distressed.Laura nodded her head, with no emotion on her face, the black bags under her eyes were proof that she didn't sleep too well last night. Just when she took a bite of pancake, her stomach churned in the contraction of food and she then ran to the bathroom while covering her mouth.Anxious, Steven also followed her as she threw up in the bathroom getting paler and weak. "Haven't you checked with the doctor?" Steven asked with his brow furrowed."I did," Laura said and then stood up while taking his support, she rinsed her mouth and then brushed her teeth again. "I am fine," Looking at the worried face of Steven, Laura comforted him.His gaze stay

The days passed in silence, looks like Laura's personality has turned completely opposite, she barely touched her food and talked with Steven. She isn't in contact with Tina too and Tina also didn't try to look for her since their last encounter.Lisa has regained her consciousness and is recovering from her grief and loss, while Augustus as a good supportive husband, accompanied her in the hospital.Laura didn't go to visit her sister, Lisa, at the hospital again, after that day incident and neither Steven asked her anything about what actually happened that day in the restaurant.***RING...RING...RINGThe continuous ringing of the phone disturbed Laura's sleep. She turned and then realized that it wasn't her phone but Steven's, she lightly shook his shoulder, "It's your phone," she informed in a hoarse voice and Steven blinked his droopy eyes.He then sat up and took his phone from the side table, after answering the phone, Steven's face started gett

Standing in front of the huge villa, Laura's heart was beating faster than it could ever be, the cold weather in Rome wasn't even helping to stop her hands from getting sweaty in nervousness.After taking a few deep breaths, she finally walked to the gate of the villa and rang the bell. Ms. Davis appeared at the door and frowned with surprise when she saw Laura standing at the gate."Miss Laura," She gasped and then pulled her to the side as she looked back at the door to confirm that no one was behind her, "Young Master has forbidden your entrance at the villa, please leave before he will see you." Ms. Davis whispered into a low voice and Laura's brows furrowed together feeling unhappy."What do you mean? Inform my sister, I am here. She will surely meet me, who is he to decide for us, huh?" Laura said as the anger started rising in her heart."I am her husband," A voice shook her and she tilted her head just to see Augustus standing at the gate of the villa wea

Lisa sat emotionlessly as the yoga class finished and Augustus bid the lady goodbye. He then turned to Lisa who has now lost a lot of weight and getting back to her old shape, but instead of getting happy he was afraid and worried as Lisa doesn't seem to get any better.He sighed and then walked to her, "Lisa," He called her as he stood in front of her and then very gently touched her shoulder, "Go and get ready, we're going somewhere." He informed her but Lisa showed no interest in it."Augustus, I don't want to leave my room. please..." She forced the last word, displeased, and then walked to the bathroom to take a shower."Didn't you love Cristian anymore?" He yelled from behind and Lisa stopped dead in her track, "Didn't you want to grow his cafe? It's been more than a week since you haven't visited the cafe and neither talked with the manager. Do you want all his and Leila's effort to go to waste?" Augustus questioned her sharply and Lisa turned, frowning."

The next day, as Augustus woke up, Lisa was nowhere to be seen. He felt upset by her indifference to him but still stayed quiet as he could understand that she is going through a hard phase.After getting ready, he went down and was surprised to see no one in the hall, "Where is everyone?" He asked Ms. Davis, who was pushing a trolley of breakfast towards the dining table."Everyone has gone for the Christmas shopping," Ms. Davis told him and then placed the breakfast on the table. Augustus, feeling stunned and angry, left the home without even having breakfast."How could they all leave me alone like this?" He fumed like a child and drove away.***In the evening, Augustus came back home with a poker face. The kids rushed to them with a happy and excited face, they squealed with joy. "Daddy," "Dad," Augustus's bad mood quickly faded while looking at his kids, Simon and Maria.They both have grown up a lot as now Augustus didn't need to crouch down on h

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?

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.

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

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.
