Everyone gathered around the dinner table. Augustus got a little awkward to see Josefina on the dinner table. Eliana glanced at him and whispered near his ear to not feel awkward. Rafaello looked at his mother, expecting her to apologize sincerely to Augustus. Frederico cleared his throat and started to speak. "Josefina will apologize to Augustus for what she did," Frederico said. "The mistake she made, she must repent of it," he added. Josefina turned her head to look at Augustus, who wasn't looking at her. "Augustus, I apologize for my mistake. I should not have done something like this. I should have been a responsible mother and should have stopped Gia from doing such a thing. Please forgive me," Josefina said. Her voice was filled with guilt. She didn't like it when her husband and her son, Rafaello, looked at her with disgust. Augustus chuckled. That apology didn't sound sincere at all to him. However, since they were having dinner, he didn't want to create any scene. "We f
Eliana found Augustus in the balcony of their bedroom. She stepped into the balcony and quietly stood by his side. "Are you good?" Eliana asked him. "No. I want to leave right now with you," Augustus asserted. His hands tightly pressed against the aluminium handrail of the balcony. "A place where my wife's respect cannot be done, I can't stay there. What do you say? Should we leave?" Augustus asked her opinion. Eliana shook her head. "Your father and brother will feel bad. I understood why you hate your step-mother. She's a toxic person. If I would be at your place, then I would have taught her a lesson," Eliana stated. "A lesson? How?" Augustus questioned her with an amusing expression. "Umm," Eliana turned and rested her elbows on the handrail, "I would have put something in her face pack so that she would get these big pimples on her entire face," she gave him the idea.Augustus started to laugh. "Won't that be too much? For a person, the face is everything," he affirmed. "No.
Lorenzo Bianco saw Gia alone in the park. He had some work in the nearby University when decided to take a walk in the nearby park. His eyes fell on Gia, who had been under a tree and was sleeping. Quickly, he walked to her and got on his knees. "Gia!" He softly called her name out as he placed his hand on her shoulder. Gia opened her eyes and found everything was dark around her. Only the street light from the far and illuminated the place a little. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Lorenzo. "What are you doing here?" He asked with bewilderment and grasped her both hands. They both got up from the ground. Lorenzo brushed the hair off her face and found she had worn a thin dress. He removed his leather jacket quickly and put it around him. "Come with me," Lorenzo said and took her back to his car. After seating inside the car, Lorenzo gave her water bottle. She thanked him and drank water from it. She wiped her lips and put the cap on the bottle. "Why were here? What if someone w
Augustus and Eliana left for the office the next day with Rafaello. Eliana asked Augustus about her father upon reaching the office. "I will talk with my friend. Do you want to go and see him?" Augustus asked her. "Yes. I usually used to go daily to see my father," she informed him. Augustus hummed and scrolled his contact list. He found Romeo's number and dialed his number. After a few rings, Romeo answered his call. "Romeo, I want to ask about Eliana's father's state ," Augustus didn't do the formalities of greeting him as they were good friends. "As I told you before, the patient's condition isn't good. I would like you to tell Eliana and Arnaldo to be ready for the worst. The patient's organs aren't well and I ran the tests in which I found out that he got diabetes too. Because his immune system has weakened, so there are chances of spread of other diseases too," Romeo explained everything to Augustus. "If you want to come to the hospital, then you should," he suggested to him.
Eliana and Augustus reached the hospital. Romeo took them to his cabin and started to explain about Eliana's father's condition.Romeo clasped his both hands before resting them on the table in front of him. "I had a conversation regarding your father with Augustus earlier too," Romeo initiated the conversation with Eliana. She gazed at Augustus. "I didn't tell you because I thought there may be the slightest chance of improvement," Augustus replied to her. "Yes. We thought that chances of improvement are present. However, after running tests, I found out that your father has diabetes and because of this, his organs have started to affect. I don't think he will make it, Eliana. So, you and brother should prepare for the worst," Romeo explained to her in a crisp manner. "Also, it is tough for a person to wake up from a coma. A few rare cases exist, but in your father's situation it is not possible, Eliana." Augustus looked at Eliana, who was comprehending everything in her mind. She
Rafaello closed the deal somehow and asked Luca not to let anyone know that Augustus left before the deal. Luca nodded his head and thanked Rafaello for handling the deal with Ryan Petrakis. He left Rafaello's cabinet as he had to check some paperworks. Rafaello leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. At that moment, his phone rang and he answered it."Yes, Dad!" Rafaello said. "I have sent you the restaurant where you need to go on a date with Miss Dawson. Also, you need to pick her up from the hospital. I have sent you the address of the hospital too," Frederico said from the other side. "Sure, Dad. I'll check," Rafaello said."You need to leave now because as I said she doesn't like to wait," Frederico stated. Rafaello hummed and assured his father that he would leave right away to meet Miss Dawson. He hung up the call and picked the blazer from the hanger. He called his secretary inside and informed her that he would be leaving the office. Picking the car keys, and his ph
Rafaello and Lilith left after visiting the kid she had promised at his house. "Lilith, kids love to be around you. You are in the right profession. I keenly watched your interactions with that kid and it astonished me truly," Rafaello complimented her. "In what way did it astonish you?" She waited for his response. "Umm… I will take my example. I usually get annoyed by kids' questions. I feel it's kind of tough to handle them. However, watching you it felt otherwise. That's what amused me," Rafaello stated. "I am glad that you felt the other way," Lilith said. "You didn't tell me about your family," she suddenly changed the topic. "Did you not ask your father?" Rafaello queried her. "No. I thought to ask you. It's important to know each other on a date," Lilith replied. "I have a brother. Augustus Ferrari is his name. He's the CEO of the company. Also, we are not real brothers but we are step-brothers," Rafaello said. "Okay. It seems you two don't have a healthy relationship,"
Eliana didn't tell Arnaldo about their father's condition. She thought once he would be home, then she would discuss it with him. She sat down on the couch and brought her hands under her chin. She could not believe that her father's survival chances were so low. She tapped her right foot on the fluffy mat. She was restless and every kind of weird thought appeared in her mind. Augustus reached their bedroom and found her in deep thoughts. He quietly sat beside her after removing his blazer. "Augustus, I don't want my father to die. Why do good people have to suffer so much? My father never did anyone wrong, yet he had to see all such things," Eliana said and waited for his response. "Truth to be told, even I do not know," Augustus replied and put his hand on her thigh. He caressed it and turned silent again. "I thought my father would wake up one day," Eliana said with a dejected expression. "Don't be pessimistic. Your father is still alive. That means your father has slight cha
