Augustus got ready for the office. He turned on his phone and put it inside his pocket. Going downstairs, he found Eliana, Arnaldo, and Luca were waiting for him at the breakfast table. "Good morning, Augustus. Hope you are feeling better," Luca said with a smile. Augustus passed a smile to him and glanced at Eliana who had an apron draped around her. Her hair was tied in a bun. He realized that he had to ask the cook to join back the work since Eliana would not be able to cook daily. She had the office work too, though he assigned her the minimal possible work. Eliana served them breakfast and told them to start eating. "Arnaldo, don't leave anything on the plate." Like an elder sister, Eliana threatened her brother. Augustus didn't move the fork at all as his entire focus was on Eliana, who was gone to the kitchen. She was cleaning the counter. For some reason, she looked attractive and his heart skipped a beat. "Eli, the servants are here to do the remaining work. Come. Eat wi
Eliana glanced at Augustus, who looked incandescent at his father. She had heard Luca in the car about how Augustus' father protected him and even broke his years friendship with the Toscano family. "Augustus, you should have a seat before conversing with me," asserted Frederico to his son. Augustus chuckled. "You didn't hear me, right!? Your official wife is the one who is behind all this. You should talk to her about why she did that." Augustus was furious that his father was again not saying anything about Josefina. Every time Josefina was at fault, his father would turn silent. It always upset him and boiled his blood with anger. "Are you sure that Josefina did it?" Frederico asked to confirm. "You think that I would lie to you," Augustus muttered. Frederico glanced at his secretary and asked him about his phone. He dialed Josefina's number and asked her to come to the company. He put the phone aside and told Augustus to have a seat.Eliana found that Augustus did not budge f
Frederico was impressed to hear Eliana. She even recorded her conversation with Gia. He wondered why Eliana didn't hand that recording to the police, so he asked about it. "Umm… because Gia did all this in anger. I mean, Augustus and she were forced into a relationship where they both were more inclined towards the profit side or you can say, the financial benefits. Also, if I had told it to the police, then it would affect the company and its employees more than anything," Eliana explained to Frederico, who keenly listened to her. "Since when did you two start to date?" Suddenly Frederico jumped to a personal question. Before Eliana could answer, Augustus told his father he had already answered about that. "Eliana, I would like to make some changes in the company. Being my son's wife, you also have an equal share in this company, so I would like to give some of the shares in your name too," Frederico informed her. She widened her eyes and asked Frederico not to do so. "Why?" "Be
Josefina entered the office and asked Frederico why she was called out of the blue. "Take a seat first," Frederico told his wife, who sat beside him on the same couch. "Would you like to drink tea?" He asked his wife, who shook her head. "Did you plan out all this with Gia?" Frederico asked Josefina, who widened her eyes and looked at Augustus. How could she forget that his step-son would not stop slandering her? "I told your husband about it. Gia confessed yesterday that you are also involved with her," Eliana said and grabbed the attention of Josefina. "I didn't do it," Josefina told a white lie. "Really?" Eliana arched her brow and played the recording on her phone. Gia clearly mentioned that it was Josefina, who was with her. She widened her eyes and looked at her husband. "That girl is lying, Honey," Josefina told her husband. "I did not expect it from you, Darling. Do you even have any idea how much loss we had to bear yesterday? How could you do this to Augustus?" Frederi
Gia's car abruptly stopped in the middle of the road. Luckily, it was not the main road as it would create a nuisance for her. But the problem was that it was somewhere isolated in the city. She had thought to spend her day in the famous park of her city which was far from the main city. She stepped out of the car and found the smoke coming out of the bonnet of the car. "Ahh, why did this car break? It's such an expensive model!" She muttered and took out her phone. To her surprise, the signals were weak and she was unable to reach the car repair shop. "Dammit!" She let out a frustrated sigh and looked around. Not a single vehicle could be seen around and it made her chuckle. After yesterday's incident, she had thought that she would stay in a peaceful place till evening. And then, this happened! What could be worse than this? Her fate was not on her side for the past few days. She thought to stop a car or a vehicle if she could find one. She stood on one side of the road and wait
Eliana completed her work and leaned back on the chair. She looked towards the door and found Augustus still had not come. It had been four hours, yet there was no news where he was! She rose to her feet and locked her hands behind her back. Gradually, she went towards the office desk where Augustus usually worked. The office interior was magnificent. She stroked her finger on the glass surface of the desk to check if dust was on it or not. Not a single grain of dust was visible. She bent down a little and saw how clear the glass was. Beside the office desk, a large aquarium could be seen. She didn't notice it earlier and few fishes could be seen inside it. Eliana's lips curled up into a smile and she walked near it. She saw the fish food that was put on the top of the aquarium and decided to feed the fish inside it. The colorful, tiny fishes gathered at the center when Eliana spread the fish food into the water. She bent down and looked at them. Her pointer finger rested on the
Augustus' grip was too strong on her. She looked so adorable today. He himself didn't know why he wanted to kiss her every time he saw her. Withdrawing after a few seconds, he found her eyes were still closed. "You can open them," Augustus said. Eliana pried open them and asked her why he broke the contract terms every single time. "It's not wrong to kiss your own wife," Augustus stated, with a smirk. "Also, we both married in a private ceremony. We are legally married," he reminded her. "But we signed the contract as well," Eliana affirmed. "You never hate when I kiss you. You have no idea how precious my kisses are!" Augustus said with an amusing expression. Eliana felt that she was out of words. But somehow she managed to say. "I didn't like them either," she admitted and quickly stood up. She stepped a meter away from him and continued, "Don't think that I am interested in you. A guy like you can never be my choice," she stated and turned to leave. Augustus didn't like the w
Eliana stepped back from him and asked him to order the food for them. She was hungry. She started to fan herself using her hand and ended up opening the buttons of her shirt."As my wife wants," Augustus said and went to his desk. He picked up the phone and dialed the canteen's number. He ordered a few dishes from the chef and hung up the call. Eliana had gone to the couch and settled on its one end. "Did you never date anyone?" Augustus asked her and Eliana glared in his direction. "The way you responded to my kiss made me believe otherwise." That smirk was enough to tell that he was thinking something dirty in his mind. "No. I didn't have any," Eliana said. "Then, how do you know how to respond to the kiss? As a newbie, these all things should be new to you," Augustus said in a teasing tone. He walked to her and sat by her side."You look too experienced in this. It seems you had hundreds of girlfriends," Eliana remarked without meeting his eyes. Augustus chuckled and started to
