“What about your mom.?” Augustus asked changing the topic.
“My father cheated on her. She couldn’t take it and passed away.” Her face twisted on mentioning of her mother and there was deep pain in her eyes.
Augustus sighed, “My father also died when he caught my mother with someone else.” He revealed unexpectedly.
Lisa frowned and looked at him. His face darkened, he looked sad and lonely. At this moment, she felt pity for him. Even money can’t buy happiness.
Both sighed sadly and said together, “Love is cruel.”
Minutes passed and both went deeply in thought of their loved ones. Lisa shook her head and saw the time on the wall clock. It’s past eleven, too late. While chatting with Augustus, she didn’t realize the time at all.
She said hurriedly, “it’s too late, I should go.&rd
“Then ... why you’re here?” She asked nervously.“This is my mother’s restaurant, everything cooked here is made by specific chefs chosen by my mom for me.” He explained.Lisa felt a bit of jealous, how lucky he is to get so considerate mom. She lost her mom at young age and couldn’t got a chance to be pampered by her.“Lucky to have a mom.” She murmured sadly remembering her mom as both continued eating.After lunch, Augustus sent her off. Lisa came back to her office and thought about Augustus. He is such a gentle man, why would he be interested in a common woman like her?She felt distressed and after thinking for a while, she called Sasha and asked her out for dinner. She needed someone to talk....At The Restaurant“So... tell me..!” Sasha demande
After a deep thought. Ted picked up his phone and called his lawyer, “Hello, Mr. Lawyer”“Hello, Mr. Ted” lawyer greeted him.“How’s your preparation for the hearing in court?” Ted asked.“It’s good Mr. Ted. Don’t worry you will definitely take the custody.” Lawyer said confidently.“Hmmm .... I want you to add one more thing in the case.” Ted said.“What is it?” Lawyer asked.“Well, come at my office. Then we’ll talk about it.” Ted answered.“Okay, Mr. Ted I’m on my way.” Lawyer said and hung up the phone.A cruel smile appeared on Ted’s face. “Huh.. let’s see who wins Lisa..!” He said while looking at the envelope.....Days pa
“It’s your fault, we lost.” Lisa pointed at his chest.“Hey.. Hey... cool down. It’s just a game.” Augustus said nervously.Lisa took Maria’s hand and sat beside Simon. “It’s okay, remember princess don’t cry.” Lisa comforted Maria while wiping her tears. Seeing Maria crying, Simon also patted her shoulder and comforted her. “Don’t be sad. That prize wasn’t really good.”Augustus saw all of three ignoring him, he sat beside Simon and said carefully, “Daddy will buy you a big gift. What do you say.?” He offered Maria.“Are you trying to bribe?” Lisa raised her eyebrow.“I...” Augustus was at lost of words.“I am sorry... it’s my fault.” At last Augustus had no choice but to apologize to both women.
Lisa who was dancing in high spirits with Sasha felt someone’s hand on her waist, she turned around and saw a fat, bald man staring at her and smiling evilly, “Do I know you?” Lisa asked in displeasure.“Doesn’t matter. Let’s dance baby doll.” He grabbed her arm tightly. Lisa struggled to push him away just then a strong punch landed on his face and the man fell down hard on the floor.BoomLisa got terrified. But when she looked up at the man who hit him she felt relief and couldn’t help but just threw herself on him “Cristian”Cristian held her shoulder, looked her up and down and asked her in concerned tone, “Are you fine.?”Lisa lowered her head and nodded.Cristian turned around and pointed at the man. “Get out of here before I lose my mind.” The man got scared. He strugg
Lisa widened her eyes in shock and turned to Cristian but Augustus pulled her back furiously.“What are you...?” Before she could complete her sentence. Augustus pushed her against the wall and pinched her chin hard to look up and then kissed her fiercely.Lisa was shocked by his actions. She struggled to break free from him but he was too strong. He held her head with one hand and grabbed her struggling hands with other. He looked at her with disgust in his eyes and mocked coldly, “When he kissed you, you weren’t struggling. Why struggle now?”Lisa widened her eyes in fear. The Augustus she knew and the Augustus infront of her are two totally different person. Looking her silence, Augustus face darkened, he bent down and carried her over his shoulder.Lisa was very scared of him at this moment, she shouted in fear. “Let me go Augustus...! What are you doing?&rdquo
Lisa went back to her home, feeling disheartened. She wanted to make this Christmas the best day of her life, but it turned out to be the worst day of her life.She took off her clothes and went straight to the bathroom to shower. She was very much exhausted. The warm water calmed her down but she still kept crying while thinking of Augustus and his harsh words.She kept crying until her eyes got dried. After shower, she lied down on her bed with Tom’s shirt wrapped around her. But still her heart couldn’t feel at ease. After a long time, she finally fell asleep....In The ApartmentAs soon as Augustus walked into his home. He threw everything in his home in frustration. Lester knew his Boss was not in his senses, so he followed him today into the apartment.As expected, he started breaking everything in the house, as soon as he entered. Maybe he
Far away, two deep blue eyes were staring at her figure with furrowed expression. He couldn’t understand what’s wrong with his feelings?. First, he didn’t want to see her and then when she fell, his heart came to his mouth in panic and then she lied. And again he became furious but still he followed her to her home to see if she’s fine.“Damn it.!” Augustus cursed under his breath and punched his fist at the seat. He regretted pushing her but it’s too late now....At home, Lisa applied balm on her knees and frowned in pain. She clenched her teeth tightly and tried to bear the pain. She knew that Augustus didn’t hurt her intentionally. It was just his anger that he vented out on her. She then curled herself on the bed and tried to sleep.Tomorrow is the first hearing of her son’s custody in court and she also has to try to finish the misunderstanding between her and Augustus....Next day
Lester pulled the car in front of the Family Court and said, “Here we are.”Lisa nodded and thanked him politely. Then she left the car and entered into the court with heavy steps. The weather was cold but her back was filled with cold sweat as she was very nervous....In The CourtroomTed was sitting confidently with his lawyer. On the other hand, Lisa was extremely nervous. The judge arrived, everyone stood up and greeted him politely.After everyone sat down, the hearing began. Both lawyers argued greatly and explained their side in most convincing tone. When everything looked to go in favor of Lisa Ted’s lawyer suddenly came up with one condition, He explained that Ted is willing to make a Fixed Deposit of two million lira for Simon’s well future. He never wanted to separate a son away from his mother, however financial support cannot be ignored so if his mother, Lisa Mathew was able to make a Fixed Deposit of two milli
