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, whiThe 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
Laura shrugged under his grip as she replied with a sarcastic smile, "You're jealous?"Augustus blinked in surprise and realizing that he had lost his posture, he immediately stepped away from her.Laura felt disheartened when she felt his distant behavior with her."Laura, you just came here and you should not be with someone who is too old for you." Augustus told her meaningfully but Laura replied in stubbornness, "Mr. Augustus it's none of your business with whom I decided to be.""So have you decided already?" Augustus asked in shock, his voice was rising again.Laura frowned in confusion she didn't know why he is giving so a loud reaction, he had completely shown her that he hated her and doesn't even care about her so then what is this now?Without answering his question, Laura simply ignored him and walked to the elevator."You should know that your sister loves you a lot, one wrong step of yours can hurt her very much Laura."Augustus'
"One....Million....?" Laura stuttered in complete disbelief.The man smirked, "Lady, you now owe me one million. You better give it back to me or continue what you always do."Laura's ears turned red and her nose started flaring in fury, "How could this man keep insulting her like this? She told him she isn't any prostitute but still, he kept implying that tag on her."She stood up angrily as she yelled at him, "Mister, I told you that I belong to a noble family, I don't need to do these kinds of shameless things. And besides what proof do you have that you gave me one million huh?"She folded her arms over her chest as she stood with confidence and stared at him with narrowed eyes.The man's lazy posture of sitting on the bed didn't change at all as he very casually replied to her back, "What if I tell your noble family people what you did?"Laura murmured in confusion, "What I did?""Huh," the man chuckled in sarcasm and then continued, "You got
BOSTON, USAAs soon as Laura stepped inside the tiny apartment, Tina couldn't help but raise her voice in excitement. "Tell me, Tell me everything that happened in Rome.""Okay okay. Let's just take a deep breath first.” Laura said as she walked to her room and lay on her bed feeling lazy from the jet lag.Tina also lay beside her, eager to hear the story."So...?" She asked."Uhmm.... It was okay but guess who I found there?" Laura asked her making her more curious."Who?" Tina asked dumbly. She has no idea of whom she can get there?"That mysterious man, Tina,” Laura yelled in excitement as she revealed."What?" Tina sat up abruptly as she looked at her in disbelief. "You must be joking." She gasped in shock."Nope, I am not," Laura told her firmly as she too sat up."So how was it?" Tina asked in curiosity."What it? If you're asking about the man. God..! Tina he is too f**king handsome but an emotionless pervert,
Laura blinked her eyes multiple times before she realized that she had been dreaming. Instead of saying anything, she simply turned and again laid down on the bed while her hair was still dripping water.Tina felt amused by her actions as she sat beside her and asked in curiosity, “So, what was it?”“Nothing,” Laura replied grumpily while pushing her head deeper into the pillow.Tina knew it was useless to argue with her as she simply stood up and then announced, “By the way darling, we need to attend the school so wake up..! I am sure Principal would be shocked to see you returning in just four days.”She laughed mockingly and then went out on which Laura groaned unhappily. She thought of her dream, why did she keep on seeing that same man always, why that man always tries to take Augustus’s place?After calming down her mind, Laura finally stood up, went to the bathroom, took shower, and got ready for her school. S
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
