Eliana was pacing in front of the giant gate, worried about Augustus. She called him many times but he did not answer her single call.
"Madam, Sir usually comes home late. You shall go in," the security guard told Eliana who refused to go.
"It's past 1 am. Let me go out. I will check once. Maybe something happened," Eliana was a little panicked. She herself did not know why she was concerned about a stranger whom she didn't even know that well. The security guard refused her request politely. "I am afraid but I cannot open this gate until Sir tells me. It's late night, Madam."
"I will just be there and watch from there. And no one will come here late at night as this place is isolated from the city. Let's look for his car. Don't you think it's a bit late? He should have returned by now. The other day som
Augustus' sleep broke as he heard the alarm. He extended his hand out to close it but it did not come in his hand. He picked a pillow and covered his ears with it. The noise died out and he again fell asleep. Suddenly the alarm started ringing again, waking him up. He felt the clock was closer to his ears and it annoyed him. He lifted his hand when his hand was caught and twisted."Ahhhh," he screamed in pain and immediately sat up. The alarm clock was still ringing and now it was placed on the table. He was shocked to see Eliana, who still had his hand and was pressing it hard."What are you doing? Leave me. It's hurting," Augustus complained."It's 8 am in the morning. You woke up late and" she paused while glaring into his eyes before continuing, "You did something wrong last night." She tightly
Eliana was moving the spoon inside the bowl filled with milk and corn flakes, while taking the peeks at Augustus, who was quietly eating his meal. "I need to see my father," Eliana broke the ice. Augustus lifted his eyes from the plate and looked at her. "I will be in the office on time. So, first I will go to check my father," she stated."I am afraid but you cannot do that." He saw Eliana was frowning at him. "Romeo sent me the message and told you to not worry about your father. He is under observation for two days, so let the doctors do their work. If you are desperate to meet then, go in the evening," Augustus pronounced and again looked at his plate."Okay," a reply came from Eliana. "What happened last night? You can share with me if you want to," Eliana asserted. Augustus stopped eating and again peered at her. Eliana was chewing the flakes
"W-What are you doing?" Eliana questioned him while stuttering. "I will knock you down, so just get away from me," Eliana warned Augustus. "Sweetie, we need to act like a lovey-dovey couple. I cannot help it but I have to kiss you as soon as this elevator opens," Augustus whispered, making Eliana frown. His breath fanned her lips. Eliana placed her other hand on his chest to push him. However, Augustus caught her hand and pinned it on the elevator wall. Before she could react, Augustus claimed her lips and at the same time the elevator was opened. Eliana widened her eyes but then closed them, unable to breath. Augustus sucked and nibbled on her lips. He drew back, sweeping the hair strand which had come to her face behind her earlobe. Eliana was furious at his acts and was going to slap him when she h
Luca after explaining everything to Eliana left the office. Eliana checked the e-mails first and saw thousands of them. "What's this?" She murmured. She turned to look at Augustus who was immersed in his own work. She twitched her lips, and focussed back on her work.She sorted the important emails first and accordingly replied to them as was told by Luca. As she never worked on a computer, it was a bit difficult for her. She did not realize the time until her brother called her. The loud sound of the ringing of the phone echoed in the entire office cabinet, thus grabbing the attention of Augustus as well."S-sorry," Eliana answered the call and said, "I will call you later." She hung up the call and put it on silent.Augustus intently gazed at her before averting his gaze away. He looked at the cl
Eliana walked out of the office and called him back. The person answered her call from the other side. "You did not tell me that you married a rich man...oops, not only rich but a Billionaire. Finally, you git some sense in your mind!" a woman voiced from the other side.Eliana laughed wryly. She expected something good from her mother but she had to say this! She called her after 3 years and this was the first thing she told her."Money makes your mind spin. Same thing happened with you, right? When I told you to marry the son of my friend who was a businessman, you refused saying that you don't go after money but then you caught your hands on a billionaire! Nice move, dear," from the other side of the phone her mother slightly laughed."This is why you called me after 3 years. Every woman is not
Eliana looked at her father who was still unconscious. Her eyes were misty. Augustus watched over her from near the door. "Come with me. I need to tell you something," Romeo took Augustus with him. The two were now in the office of Romeo where he told Augustus about Eliana's father's condition."So, there is only a 10% chance that he will get up from this coma," Augustus asked for confirmation."Yes. I do not want to give false hopes. I had thought that he would wake up but after analysing everything, I came to this conclusion. It's a great thing that he is alive till now," Romeo was veracious."Save him. There are 10% chances that her father will wake up. Work on that, Romeo," Augustus optimistically said."It's not easy Augustus. Still, I will try. I just w
Eliana went closer to Augustus and whispered in his ear. "Why are you doing this? It's booked for the other. Let's sit somewhere else. You are grabbing unwanted attention," Eliana smiled and looked at him, who had tilted his face to look at her. She then looked at the manager. "We will take another table. Forgive my husband for talking this way," Eliana grabbed Augustus' hand. The manager told Eliana not to apologize and showed them the other table.Augustus pulled a chair out for Eliana, and made her sit on that and then took his seat. "What would you like to order?" The manager asked."Two servings of Penne pasta (a famous Italian pasta)" Augustus ordered. The waiter noted the order for them."It will be ready in a few minutes. Would you like to have wine with it, Sir- Ma'am," the manager j
Eliana rested on the couch and closed her eyes. She was a little tipsy after drinking wine. She had low tolerance for alcoholic drinks. She fanned herself using her fingers. "I am feeling hot," Eliana murmured and unbuttoned the blazer's buttons.Augustus looked at her and picked the AC remote. He lowered the temperature of the room. Putting the remote on the table, he pulled off the blazer and then unbuttoned his shirt top two buttons."Do you want to restroom first?" Augustus asked her."No," Eliana shook her head. Augustus hummed and went inside the washroom. The phone inside her pocket started to ring. She pulled out the phone and brought it near her ear. "Hmm, hello.""Sorella, I am coming home. I have eaten outside so, do not wait for me and
