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
Eliana came out of the washroom and avoided the gaze of Augustus, who was on the couch, reading something on a tablet. She stood in front of the dressing table and dried her hair using a towel.She looked at his reflection through the mirror. "What did he mean by controlling himself?" Eliana murmured and huffed. She put the towel down and went downstairs. Sitting on the couch of the living room, she started talking to herself."Does he by any chance like me? Ahh, but why would he like me? He doesn't even know me," Eliana muttered. She picked a pillow and hugged it tightly. She yawned and laid down on the couch. She looked at the ceiling. "Whoa! It's beautiful. He surely earns a lot to do this sort of designing," she mumbled."What are you doing here? The bedroom is upstairs so, you shall sleep ther
Augustus came back to his bedroom and pressed his fingers against the temple of his forehead. "Eli, let's go down. Your brother is waiting for us," he said. Eliana was furious and she marched to him. He grabbed his t-shirt and pinned him to the wall, shocking him."What are you doing?" Augustus asked as his back banged on the wall behind him."I told you not to do anything without my permission. It annoys me. If you think that such acts would make me fall in love with you then you are wrong. I told you that I am different," affirmed Eliana. She glared into his eyes and then flipped her hair back."Don't do that," Augustus told her."What?" Eliana confusedly looked at him."The thing you did now. Flipping your hair and then threatening me. It is seductive to me," Augustus said and smirked. Eliana snickered and almost smacked his face but then stopped, right in front of his face."Do not ever try to say that. I will pun
Eliana called the hospital to find out about her father. The nurse told her that his condition was stable, yet every second hour, she would go restless. Augustus, who was on the laptop, noticed her concerned expressions. "Your father will be alright," Augustus said as he stopped typing. Eliana looked in his direction and curled her fingers around her phone. "Augustus, may I ask something?" "Hmm." "Who wants to kill you?" Her sudden question was not expected by Augustus. "I suppose you already know," she deduced."If I had known, then I would not have asked you to be my bodyguard," Augustus stated. "But why would someone want to kill you? If you have suspicions, then you can take the help of the police too," Eliana suggested to him. "I explained to you earlier as well that I cannot go to the police without any proof. Moreover, I want to find out about the person, who is behind my life. If you will be by my side, no one will ever be suspicious and I will always feel safe," Augustu
Eliana stood in front of the lockup when Augustus walked to her. "What are you doing here?!" He was bewildered and looked at Arnaldo. "Ma'am, please this way," a station officer told her and took her to the other side where Augustus' lawyer was present with Luca. Seeing Eliana and Arnaldo, Luca walked to them and asked what they were doing in the station. "What did Gia do? I think she's lying," Eliana told Luca when he took both the brother-sisters outside the station. Luca narrated everything to Eliana and Arnaldo. "But my brother-in-law loves my sister. Why did Miss Toscano do this? Isn't it odd to claim rights over another woman's husband?" Arnaldo got furious. "Calm down, Arnaldo. You don't know the history of Gia Toscano with Augustus' family," Luca asserted. "The note retrieved from Gia mentions that he's the one who forced her to take this step. He dated her and cheated her with another woman," Luca said, looking towards Eliana. "Where is this woman? I will make her speak
Rafaello told Eliana to stay in the waiting room of the lobby. He had decided to meet Gia and check why she did that. As he slid the door and walked in, he saw his mother laughing along with Gia. However, they both stopped as soon as Rafaello walked in. Gia immediately turned her facial expression to a sadder one. Rafaello asked his mother if she could go out as only one person was allowed inside the room at a time. Josefina stood up and told Gia not to take the stress. She walked out of the room. Rafaello locked it from inside as soon as his mother stepped out. He put the fruit basket on the table beside the table. "How are you feeling, Gia?" Rafaello asked as he settled on the chair beside the bed. "I am good, Rafaello. Thank you for coming to see me," Gia said in a low voice. "I thought I would die after consuming the poison, but—" she paused as tears streamed down her cheeks. Rafaello could not believe his eyes. A few minutes ago, she was laughing with Josefina. That's why Aug
As per the plan, Eliana disguised into the attire of a nurse. Rafaello helped her get a fake identification as he knew the hospital staff well. He handed the identification card to Eliana and said, "Be careful. Though, I have asked a doctor to help us, so he would take you in without any trouble. You will have ten minutes because her mother will soon be here." Eliana took the ID card from him and said, "If for some reason, I don't come out within ten minutes, then try to stop her mother." "Sure!" Rafaello agreed with her. She hung the identification card around her neck and took the instrument table out of the room. She had worn a mask and round eyeglasses so that no one would identify her face. Doctor Ivan accompanied her and they easily passed the security. Rafaello walked at a safe distance from them and when the two walked in, he stayed out. Ivan picked the cardboard and checked Gia's BP level, followed by the oxygen one. "Miss Toscano, I will come back in a while, until then
"Umm…you both have planned it and I have proof about this. Augustus' mother had told everything to her son, Rafaello. Luckily, I heard them and recorded everything in this," Eliana said and showed the voice recorder to Gia, whose eyes grew big. "You have five minutes to take back your complaint, else this will be shown to everyone. The people who are accusing Augustus will be violent on you," Eliana asserted. Gia was stunned to hear that Josefina did such a foolish thing. Who had told her to tell Rafaello about their plan? Literally, she could not hide any single thing with her son. Gia was stupid to believe Josefina. "But he did make me feel depressed." Gia thought to snatch that recorder from Eliana's hand. She waited for the moment when she could sntach that. She extended her hand when Eliana stepped back. "Gia, I gave you the chance. You have lost it and now, you will rot in jail for the lie you have told the police. You will be interrogated along with the doctor, who made a f
