The bright sunrays found their way to fell over Eliana's face through the gap of the curtains. She brought her hand on the top of her face and tightly shut her eyes to prevent those rays to invade her eyes. Her hand moved on the bed and rested on something soft. It felt skin to her. She continued to move her fingers over the skin and then pried open her eyes when she suddenly got a realization. She had lowered her hand and saw Augustus, who was next to her. He was naked and was laid on his back. His face was toward her, his hair was disheveled.She then looked at herself and lifted the blanket. Her eyes grew wide to find that she was naked too. Her mouth widely opened and she brought her hand to cover her mouth. "Did I do it with him?" She murmured and tried to recall about the last night. She remembered very well about their deep conversation and then Augustus asked her if he could kiss her. She had this vague memory of being kissed, but after that there was nothing. Her mind was
Eliana came downstairs after she quickly freshened up to cook breakfast for them, but she did not find him in the house. She wondered where he could have possibly gone and called his name. She searched for Augustus in the living room and the garden, but she did not find him there. Eliana ran to the bedroom and picked up her phone from the table and dialed Augustus’ number. She got stunned when her call got cut from the other side. He did not want to talk to her and he did it again when she gave him the call for the second time. She ran her fingers through her hair and lowered her hand. She took a deep breath and then, exhaled a deep sigh when she heard a ping on the phone. She checked it and saw Augustus’ message on the screen. She read the message and it said, “I have left for the office.” “Without having the breakfast?” Eliana typed the message and sent to him. “Yes. I was not hungry.”“Sorry. I have the faint memory from the last night. The only thing I remember was when I tol
“It all started with a fatal attraction of one night stand."A man could be seen on the lounge, holding a low ball glass filled with alcohol. He was none other than the Business Tycoon, Augustus Ferrari of Sapphire Groups- the top business organization in Italy. The dim lights of the bar was only making his face visible. His red eyes were clearly showing that he had drunk too much. Staring at the alcohol, he gulped it and then wiped the mouth using the back of his palm.Augustus’ eyes were closing because of the alcohol he consumed till then but, the man was not going to stop anytime soon. “Excuse me, sir,” voiced the manager of the bar.Augustus lifted his head and glared into the eyes of the manager. “Speak,” he said with a cold tone.“Sir, the bar is going to close. You shall pay you bills and leave for your home. Shall I call a taxi for you?” The manager asked politely while joining his both hands. Augustus took out a credit card from his pock
Augustus threw the blanket away from his body. Only his shirt was removed that means he did not do anything. He was relieved but then the faint memory where he was kissing the woman, making him worry if he had not done anything further.He felt the headache because of the hangover he had gotten. He got down the bed, picked his shirt and wore it. He found his phone and wallet was on the bedside table which amused him. “She did not take them?” he wondered and picked them up. “But where is she? I shall thank her for the last night,” Augustus murmured and looked around.He checked the room but he did not find her. “She isn’t here,” mumbling he stepped towards the door when his foot hit against something sharp. “Ahh,” he winced in pain and quickly put aside his foot. He saw an earring on the floor and picked that up. “It must be hers,” murmuring he put it inside his pocket.He wore the shoes which were
A woman in her twenties could be seen standing in front of the billing counter, cutting the bills. Her hair were tied into a bun. “Here, sir,” Eliana said, handing the bill to a Young man who thanked her and walked out of the café.Eliana looked at her wrist watch and saw her afternoon shift was almost over. She took off the apron and put it aside when Maria came there. “Eliana, you can go. Thank you for doing extra work for me,” Maria said.“It’s fine,” Eliana stated and went to the dressing room. She took out her haversack, put it on her shoulder and came out. Her boss handed her the salary for five hours of work. Eliana thanked him and left for her second part time job.Taking the city bus, she arrived at a restaurant where she worked as a waitress. She walked in, greeted the manager there and went to the changing room.“Eliana, you look tired,” Emily said who came there to change.&ld
Augustus pushed Gia away. He was shooting glares at her but could not say anything. Soon they reached the ground floor. The two stepped out of the elevator as a car was already waiting for them. “You have already prepared everything,” Augustus stated.“Indeed. Get in,” Gia stated and opened the door for herself while Augustus got into the car from the other side. Gia told the driver to the drive the car to the said address. Augustus called Luca and told him to leave for his home. He disconnected the call and looked outside the window.“Augustus, when do you think we shall get marry?” Gia’s sudden question brought Augustus out of his thoughts.“I don’t think I am ready to get married,” Augustus plain reply made Gia chuckle.“I have been listening to this for two years. We two know each other from the childhood days. Yet, you want more time to be comfortable around me,” Gia remarked and
Eliana was flabbergasted to see the same man whom she saved the previous night. She kept staring at him for a few seconds when she realized their proximity. She pulled herself back from Augustus’s grip but it seemed to her that he did not want to let go of her, instead he tightened his grip around her arm.Gia, on the other hand, was looking at them with a bewildered expression. “Mr. Ferrari, do you know this woman?” Lorenzo asked.‘Yes.’‘No.’The two different answers came at the same time from Augustus and Eliana’s mouths. Gia raised her brow upon hearing the different answers. Augustus looked at Eliana and then turned his gaze to Lorenzo, “Miss Ferrari does not know me at the personal level but we do know each other at a professional level.”“What?” exclaimed Gia. “How do you know her at a professional level? You have never told me about her,” Gia af
Augustus reached his Penthouse and dragged himself inside. He came to his room and laid on the bed. Looking at the ceiling, he murmured, “Does she not know me? I am Augustus Ferrari. Girls ran after me just hearing my name then why she did not?”Augustus touched his lips and recalled the kiss which happened between them last night. “Did she only kiss me? But my shirt was lying on the floor so it means something more had happened between us,” Augustus thought. He sat up on the bed and took out the phone from his pocket.He dialed the number of Luca and put it on the speaker. Luca answered the call after a few rings. “Sir, are you home?” Luca asked.“Yes. I want Eliana to be in my company tomorrow. I have something important to discuss with her,” Augustus asserted.“Sir, what?” Luca exclaimed. He could not believe that Augustus was still after Miss Russo. “Sir, how could I bring Miss Russo to
