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
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
