While new year’s eve was proved to be blissful for Steven by getting Laura back, for Augustus, it wasn’t. He still needs to suffer a lot.
The function they attended together was lively and full of high-end people, Rheena Carlos was worried about her husband, Monte Carlos’s health as she has asked Lisa and Augustus to lead the party because they are after all the ones taking care of this tradition after them.Without showing a slight disliking or indifference, Lisa followed Augustus all the way to the party but deep inside Augustus knew that it was just an act but still he felt grateful that at least she has the ability to handle things with dignity in front of everyone instead of making a huge fuss about it and degrading his position.“Lisa, I’m…”Taking this opportunity, Augustus tried to apologize again with sincerity but Lisa stopped him mid-way.“Not now, Augustus…”But Augustus stubbornly contRealizing the silent appearance of two people beside her, Laura turned and looked at them with a confusing look and then at Augustus.“Is something wrong?”She asked, and Augustus instead of answering her just changed the topic, “Have you eaten anything?” and she shook her head.“Let’s bring something for you to eat, first.”He said gently, and then walked out of the room, Steven followed him behind while Lisa stayed with Laura.“You and Augustus…?”Lisa asked, looking amused by their bonding.“Augustus is a good man sis, I had troubled him a lot but he endured everything just for you. He really loves you.”Laura held Lisa’s hand and squeezed it lightly.Lisa gave her a weak smile in response, just because Augustus loves her that doesn’t mean he has got the right to hide everything from her. That’s completely wrong.Sensing Lisa’s quietness, Laura knew that Augu
The next morning, the chirping voice of the birds disturbed Steven’s sleep, he opened his drowsy eyes and saw Laura’s calm face in front of his eyes. His senses calmed down but after a few minutes, panic arose in his heart when he couldn’t feel her moving, and sat up anxiously, “Laura….”He yelled, his voice carrying the fear of losing her.Laura opened her eyes immediately and got extremely terrified when she saw Steven’s red eyes and his body that was shaking from fear as he embraced her tightly.“What happened?”Laura asked, looking blankly at him.“Nothing… Nothing…”Steven said in a hoarse voice, kissing her head multiple times.“Steve….”After some time, Laura called him softly and he looked down at her, “I want to use the washroom.”She blinked looking a little embarrassed and Steven chuckled while letting her go.“I’ll help you, come
***“Put me down,” Laura whispered shyly in Steven’s ear.“No,” He replied firmly as he walked with her in his arms in the elevator and then looked at the other couple to press the button. They did and he thanked them with a nod while Laura hid her face in his chest. A smile came to his lips at her cuteness.Soon, they reached their destination. Steven walked out with Laura in his arms and Mr. Xavier’s jaw dropped looking at her condition. “Has she lost her weight?”The first thought that occurred in his mind as soon as he looked at her.“I will call you if I need anything,” Steven said to him politely before he was able to greet them both. Mr. Xavier nodded respectfully, taking the hint, and then left.Steven walked inside the house and the strong smell of roses filled the atmosphere, Laura who was hiding her face in his chest couldn’t help but turn her face and then looked at the house in awe
“So, what actually happened Mr. Steven?”The doctor asked with a straight face, making Steven more embarrassed with the shame.“As I have told you, we… we…. Just kissed…”He mentioned with his face heating with embarrassment.“Kiss… What kind of kiss exactly?”The doctor asked in his plain voice, making Steven snap, displeasingly. “Are there 100 types of kisses in this world?”“Uhmmm… Well speaking of that, there are… But you can tell me how you kissed her…”The doctor asked, his pupils were as calm as water.Steven was burning in rage and felt like choking this doctor to death but he drank back his anger as Laura’s safety is far more important than anything. He gulped down his saliva and then clearing his throat, he started explaining the situation.“We kissed for a while and then we got carried away but before we would be able to do it, she
The warm touch of Augustus’s hand brought Lisa back to her senses and she then shrugged slightly from his touch. Augustus sighed disappointedly, It’s been weeks but Lisa has still not forgiven him.“Steven’s parents are not able to attend the wedding, at least someone’s parents should attend it…” Augustus said to convince Laura but his words fell like sarcasm on Steven.He gave Augustus a dark look and Augustus shrugged innocently, he then sat beside Laura who was still trying to catch her breath while panting the word, “Dad”“You should take the blessing from your father, he loves you, Laura,” Augustus told her as he started coaxing her gently while rubbing her back.“A… murderer…. He killed…. My …. Mother….” Laura pant, her whole body was shivering from anger.“Laura, that’s the past… Please… let those memories go away
Lisa led Laura to the gate of the church in the wheelchair. Laura has become too weak to walk and got exhaustedly tired in the preparation of her wedding. Everyone tried their best to give her rest as more as they can as she insisted on walking the aisle by herself.Their father, Frank Mathew was already standing at the gate eagerly waiting for his both daughters, he looked at Laura who is in her bridal attire. He smiled warmly at her but when he noticed the wheelchair in which she was sitting, he frowned sadly and his eyes filled up with tears making his heart heavy with guilt.“Laura…” He choked at his words and barely whisper her name in a painful sigh.“Dad, today isn’t a day to shed tears, today we only cherish our blessings not a single sad moment,” Lisa said cheerfully giving her father a side hug and then kissing Laura’s forehead with love.“I need to go…” She told her and Laura nodded in under
The night sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. A man with his bride in his arms entered a huge villa, he kicked the door closed. The whole place was lit up by scented candles.He climbed up the stairs, straight to their bedroom and once he opened it, the strong smell of roses filled their nose. The whole place was decorated with roses.Very gently, Steven placed Laura on the bed, she looked around, amused, and then asked, surprised, “This…?”“A small wedding gift to my wife.” Steven smiled while revealing. Laura’s lips formed a little “O” in disbelief and then she excitedly pulled him closer, “Thank you.” Kissing his lips, he thanked her with bright eyes staring at him lovingly.“Tomorrow, I’ll show you the whole place,” Steven told her and then sat beside her. “Are you okay?” He asked in concern.&ld
The next morning, the woman moved in her sleep but couldn’t really move, her waist was pinned down heavily by an arm, she groaned and moved in irritation but couldn’t move the strong arm from her waist.“Steve…” She yelled in a complete hoarse voice and finally, the man loosened his grip and then opened his droopy eyes. “Morning wifey…” He smiled and said cheekily but Laura didn’t show any happiness, she scowled and then said angrily, “Take this dress off me, I need to use the bathroom.”Steven looked down at her crumpled dress and then at her flushed face, he quickly get up and helped her and Laura rushed to the washroom. Her bladder was full and it was difficult for her to control herself.Steven stood outside with a pair of clean pajamas in his hand and when she came out, he helped her in wearing them. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude.” Laura apologized looking guilty.&ldquo
