After resting and isolating herself from the outside world Lisa finally went to the cafe after three days since she came back from her disaster trip of Venice.
Leila was shocked to see Lisa coming over, she had already given her a week off but she has come back just after three days.
"Why you're here?" She asked while hugging her.
"For work." Lisa smiled weakly and answered. Leila could felt Lisa's sadness and emptiness that she was trying to hide from her smile.
Leila scanned her face carefully, "You can take more time if you want you kno....."
Before Leila could complete her sentence Lisa held her hand and said thankfully. "I am completely fine Leila and thanks a lot for being with me in my hard time."
Leila felt touched and squeezed her hand back, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." She smiled and then took Lisa to her office.
Lisa thought she wanted to discuss something about the work so she followed her quietly
In the evening, a driver dropped Maria at Sasha's house.Lisa sighed in relief when saw the driver stepping out of the car and walked Maria to her, she didn't want to see Augustus's face at all.She took Maria to the home and they chatted alot, as they both were making chocolate cake batter. Maria said to Lisa. "Mommy, do you know Aunt Giovanna had brought me a gown just like her to wear on her wedding."Lisa paused, seems like her mind had already forgotten that they are having wedding in just a week.Lisa frowned deeply and continued adding ingredients in the batter. "Mommy daddy loves you but he is marrying Aunt Giovanna why?" She asked in silliness."Your dad knows what he is doing." Lisa said and then handed her the bowl to mix. Maria took the bowl and started mixing it together."Mommy if I ask for something will you give me?" Maria asked suddenly.Lisa checked the temperature in the oven and turned to her. "Anything my princess
Cristian dropped Lisa at work and went to the Leila's office to see the growth and profit of cafe. Cristian trusted Leila a lot and he never questioned anything to her, just checking the papers are a formality for him to complete.He knocked the door and Leila's voice came. "Come in,"Cristian walked in and saw Leila busy with papers all around her, her hairs were tied in a messy bun and the shirt she was wearing was half opened, showing her cleavage and her skirt was a little up as she bent down to pick the papers.Cristiam coughed embarassedly. "Ahem... Ahem...."Leila turned and the shock and embarrassment could be seen on her face.Cristian looked away as she smoothed her skirt and then put on her jacket back."I didn't know it's the Monday." She said embarrassedly."Ahem.... its okay." Cristian said."Here..." Leila walked to him and handed him the papers she than explained him the details and also informed about the trans
As Lisa walked out of the dressing room with the dress on her arm, the lady worker rushed to her and took the dress from her."I am not buying this." Lisa told her and she replied. "Madam you're fiancé is buying this for your engagement ceremony."Lisa frowned at her words. "Engagement ceremony?"She ignored the lady and walked to the Cristian to clarify the things as she walked to him absent minded she didn't realize the tense atmosphere between Cristian and Augustus.She didn't even know that Augustus is also here.She walked carelessly and said annoyingly, "Cristian I told you I am not going to buy this dress. Stop being stubborn.""Darling, this dress would look awesome on you on our engagement day." Cristian said affectionately but his eyes were fixed on something else.Lisa paused, she felt like she had heard something wrong. Cristian had never called her "darling" ever and his eyes..... As she followed his eyes, she saw
The whole drive Cristian pulled a long face, even with bruises on his face he still managed to make an angry face showing Lisa his disapproval.Lisa completely ignored his tactics and was deeply involved with Leila in talking about the dresses she had chosen from the boutique.Leila told Lisa that she met her friend near the boutique, she was there for the pre wedding shoot of her, the friend she mentioned was Giovanna and it is then that Lisa realized why Augustus was in the boutique?"So he was there for his own wedding shoot while objecting me to not marry to anyone else." Lisa sneered in her heart completely feeling distressed about Augustus's behavior towards her.Cristian dropped them both at the cafe, Lisa asked Cristian to not pick her up today as he is bruised badly on his eye and it would be harmful for him to keep driving, he better takes some rest.Cristian agreed to her suggestion and then drove away the car after bidding good bye to h
Augustus was sitting on the floor, his clothes were all drenched and he looked haggard while holding a bottle of whisky and drinking it unmannerly.There were four people standing around him making a circle, like trapping him.He didn't look like a powerful heir of Carlos Family. He didn't even look like himself. The man Lisa saw in the afternoon and the man she is seeing right now in front of her looks completely different.She blinked her eyes in surprise and looked at Lester for the explanation."I told you he's not in his senses." Lester said apologetically, he than waved his hand to the four guards and all walked away from Augustus.Lester also turned and walked away giving them both some alone space but he didn't go far.He stood at the corner. From a fine distance, he could watch them carefully.Lisa was still glued to her place and staring at Augustus's silhouette in disbelief.Augustus's head was bowed down as he kept
After crying and sobbing for a long time, when finally both calmed down. Lisa took Augustus down to his office as his all clothes were drenched in water and whisky.She helped him take off his clothes and put him on the bed, she than took off her clothes too as he had hugged her before so her clothes were also turned wet.She took out one of Augustus's suit shirt and wore it.She thought of leaving but when she looked at his tired face, and also the way he was before. She felt pity for him.She thought that she is the only one suffering but it seems like Augustus had been suffering too it’s just that he didn't show it.She sat on the bed staring at his handsome face, it had been a long time she had seen his face from that close.His beard has grown, it seems like since they divorced he didn't shave at all. His beard is the same color as his hair color, dark brown. And his face looked thinner than before.She touched his beard an
After their passionate love ended, Lisa was terribly tired and exhausted, she closed her eyes to sleep and Augustus pulled her into his arms and let her sleep resting her head on his arm.He embraced her in his warmth and after making sure that she had deeply fallen asleep he finally left the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.He wore his three piece suit from his wardrobe, he then walked to the bed and saw Lisa pouting her lips in sleep, he clicked her picture secretly and then kissed his blessing's forehead before leaving the room and walking into his office while closing the door half closed.As it was past 9, he picked his connecting phone and called his secretary to order two large meals of breakfast for him.The secretary was stunned when she received his call, she was just supposed to enter his office but now she stopped at the second thought.Augustus put back the phone and reviewed the documents she had emailed, after half an h
In the evening, Lisa sent Cristian a message telling him to not pick her up from the cafe, she was afraid that if he and Augustus would again see each other they would start a fight again.She then waited for Augustus to pick her up but he didn't show up, after half an hour Lisa thought he must be busy and decided to go to his hotel to surprise him.And if he wouldn't like her surprise than she would made an excuse that she had come to pick her clothes that she had left.She took a taxi and went to his hotel. She was excited and nervous on her way. She didn't know how Augustus would react but she is sure that he would be happy to see her after all he loves her a lot.Last night, he even tried to end his life for her. Her heart felt low when she thought about that scary time.She then took some deep breath, "it won't happen again, I won't let Augustus leave me." She kept murmuring in her heart.As she reached at the hotel, she didn't use the
