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 placed beside the bed and walked out of the room, holding his head. The owner of the motel came to him and asked him if he enjoyed the night. Augustus gave a glare to him. “How much do I need to pay?” Augustus asked as he took out his wallet.
“Fifty dollars,” the owner replied. Augustus found he had no change so he handed him thousand dollars and walked out from there. He took out his phone and called his secretary Luca Romano who answered the call in a second as if he was waiting for the call from his boss.
“Send the car to Divine Motel,” Augustus told Luca and disconnected the call.
Luca looked at his phone with a baffled expression. “A motel?” he tilted his head and immediately looked for the told motel.
Oppositely, Augustus was thinking about the woman who saved him last night. “How can she leave me here? She could have waited,” muttered Augustus. “Why the heck Luca is taking too much time?” the next second he turned angry.
After waiting for fifteen minutes, a car came there and halted in front of him. The driver hastily got down the car and opened the backdoor for Augustus who got in and the car. The driver went back to his seat and drove to the Penthouse.
Augustus had rested his head on the head restraint. “She saved me and did not even rob a single penny from me,” Augustus thought. He was so lost in the thoughts of the woman that he did not realize when he arrived the Penthouse.
Luca was waiting for him outside the Penthouse. He opened the door for Augustus and wished him a good morning. He saw the state in which Augustus had returned home and handed him the hangover medicinal drink. “How much did you drink, Sir?” Luca concernedly said as he saw Augustus drinking the medicine.
“Is everything ready?” Augustus asked once he was done drinking the medicine. Luca took the tiny medicine bottle from Augustus’s hand and gave a nod. Augustus walked inside the penthouse, straight to his room.
Undressing his clothes, he went straight into the hot shower. He was still recalling about the moments with the mysterious woman but could not recall anything except a kiss. Slamming his hand against the wall, he flipped his hair back. “How could I forget?” Augustus was annoyed.
He closed the tap and wrapped the bathrobe around his body. Getting out of the shower, he quickly did the brush and came out of the washroom after sometime.
He got ready for the office and came to breakfast table. Luca took out the chair for Augustus on which he sat and the food was served to him. “Sir, may I ask what were you doing in the motel?” Luca gathering his courage asked his boss.
“I want you to find a woman for me,” Augustus asserted.
“What?” Luca exclaimed. “Okay, Sir,” he replied the next second.
“Check the CCTVs near that motel. Last night, a woman dropped me there after I got drunk and was attacked by some goons or robbers. I do not remember exactly.” Luca got worried upon hearing that.
“Are you fine, Sir? They didn’t harm you, right?” Luca questioned.
“That woman saved me. Just look for her. You have a day to search her and bring her to me,” Augustus commanded and continued eating.
“Okay, Sir. I will look into that,” Luca assured his boss. He walked out from there, leaving Augustus behind. Once Augustus was done eating, he left for the office with Luca.

“Did you ever see the CEO from closely? Yesterday, when he came to the Customer Service Department, I saw him and my heart almost popped out. Those blue eyes like a gem, that pointed nose and perfectly chiselled jaw line made him no less than a Geek God,” a female employee was conversing with her friend while waiting for the elevator to open up.
Augustus, who was passing by there with his secretary and other assistants to the VVIP Elevator heard the conversation. “What is your name, Miss?” Augustus asked when those two turned back along with the others employees who were also waiting for the elevator.
Seeing the CEO in front of her, they all lowered their eyes and greeted him. Augustus stepped towards that female employee, took his hand out of his pocket and then grasped the identity card which was hanging around her neck.
“Alicia Warren,” Augustus read out the name. “You are fired. Clear your dues in the HR department within ten minutes,” Augustus announced in his cold tone and released his hand from the card.
Alicia got scared. “I am sorry, Sir but may I ask what did I do?” She asked and gazed into the eyes of Augustus.
“Do I need to tell?” Augustus asked her back. “You’ve only eight minutes left,” saying this Augustus walked ahead, leaving the woman in dismay.
Alicia ran to Luca and told him to help her. “Sorry, Miss Warren. You shall go to the HR department,” pronounced Luca and stepped into the VVIP elevator. The elevator was closed. Luca tried to talk with Augustus when he heard, “Luca, did you find about the woman?”
“Sir, I have talked with the police regarding this. By the evening, I will gather the information about her,” Luca informed Augustus. The elector opened up in the 20th floor. Augustus stepped out of the elevator and walked straight to the Conference room for the meeting with the Board of Directors.
Two hours later, when meeting was over Augustus went to his office. He could not stop thinking about the woman. He called in Luca who came inside.
“Did you get any information about the woman?” Augustus asked Luca who lowered his head.
“Sir, by the evening I will report everything related to her,” Luca pronounced. Augustus snickered and slammed his hand on the desk. “I want everything about her in the next ten minutes else say goodbye to your job,” Augustus threatened Luca who nodded and walked out of the Office Cubicle.
Augustus pinched the skin between his brows in the frustration and waited for Luca to come.
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
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
The kiss was intense, full of passion and love. Both had forgotten their surroundings. A sweet moan escaped her mouth when he bit her lip and licked it, asking her to give permission to let him invade her mouth. Eliana slightly parted his lips while Augustus shoved his tongue in. Their tongues rolled over each other. Her hands raked through his hair. Her control on herself had lost completely. Her mind was no more controlling her body. Eliana left breathless and she gasped for air when he let go of her lips. She didn't want him to withdraw from the kiss. Her insides burned once again when Augustus' lips touched her neck. He continued to kiss at a particular spot right below her ear and another moan escaped her mouth. "Your sounds make me want to do more," Augustus said and his hand moved under the hem of the t-shirt she had put on. Eliana didn't resist it, instead she was liking it. "Shall we go inside?" Eliana asked him while resting her chin on his shoulder. It seemed he was wai
Eliana kept her eyes fixed on Augustus. She took a deep breath and put the wine glass on the table. She put her hand over his and patted it. "Augustus, it must be tough for you. However, it was all for you. She wanted to protect your future," Eliana said. "No. My future would be more secure if she had been with me today. She never felt the happiness in her marriage. Can you imagine the pain that I had to undergo seeing her in that state? This is the reason I am unable to respect my father. I stayed in that family because my mother made sacrifices. So, I had to acquire the company and become the CEO." Augustus' eyes turned misty upin recalling his mother.Eliana moved her hands up to his shoulder and pulled him into a warm hug. She patted his back with her left hand and said, "You should be happy that your father didn't abandon you even after your mother left you. He still loves you." She started to caress his back and did it for a few minutes. He withdrew and put the wine glass on
Augustus found that Eliana had already set the dinette. He was surprised that she cooked food for them in such a short time. She asked him to sit and served the food to him. After him, she pulled out a chair for her and settled on it. Augustus served the food to Eliana before she could. "I will do," she told Augustus, who shook his head and filled the platter with spaghetti and meatballs which she had cooked. Eliana thanked him and picked the fork. They both started eating while a silence prevailed between the two. "Are you still angry with Rafaello?" Eliana asked Augustus, thus breaking the ice between them. "He called you but you didn't answer his calls," she stated. "I called him earlier but his mother answered the call. She told me not to talk to Rafaello as in her eyes we brainwashed him against hers," Augustus asserted. "She is a sick lady!" Eliana remarked. "Why does she have to talk this way? Did you tell Rafaello about it?" She inquired. "No. I didn't want to trouble us
Rafaello found it weird that Augustus didn't answer his call. However, he didn't think much about it. He almost put the phone down when a message popped up on the screen. He found out that it was from Lilith. He checked it and a smile formed on his lips. 'Did you reach home safely?'"Yes," Rafaello typed the message and sent it to Lilith. He waited for her to send more messages, but she didn't. "She is a doctor, Rafaello. She must be busy," he murmured and recalled the kiss. Was she interested in him? He was unable to understand whether to ask her out or not!? He wanted to ask Augustus about it, but he didn't answer his calls. "Are they both good? Even in the morning, they left without telling Luca." He wondered and thought to call Eliana. He scrolled his phone directory and dialed Eliana's number. After a few rings, Eliana answered her call. "Yes, Rafaello?" Eliana said from the other side. Augustus glanced at her. "Are you two good? In the morning, you two left somewhere. Augus
