After breakfast, Mr. Xavier handed her the medicine as instructed by Steven. Laura smiled happily all the time when Mr. Xavier was giving her a tour of the house.
She spent a lot of her time sitting in the garden, she liked the fresh and cold breeze and soon a voice of a parked car interrupted her peace. She tilted her head to look in the direction and was completely shocked to see Augustus and Lisa walking towards her with Tommaso, Simon, and Maria.“Here…” Augustus said tiredly and handed Tommaso to Laura before he would greet her.“Augustus…” Lisa scolded Augustus angrily and Augustus rolled his eyes, unhappily. “Fine..” He took back Tommaso from Laura’s hands and Laura chuckled, bemused.“What was that for?”“He ruined my sleep for the whole night, Laura and still I am the bad here…” Augustus complained like a child and sat beside Laura with Tommaso in his hands who waThe loud music in the club was bursting Laura’s ears and she winced uncomfortably. The warm arm held her shoulders giving her support and comfort.Laura squeezed out a small smile and kept walking to the bar with Steven beside her, supporting her all the time.After he made Laura sit on the stool, he then left to talk with a bartender about Daniel. Laura’s eyes were eagerly searching for her brother but she couldn’t spot him.“He isn’t here, I have got his address, we should go and look for him there,” Steven said in her ear and she nodded in response.***A man wearing a simple tee and jeans was walking lazily towards his building with a bag of groceries in his hand, he spotted a luxury car parked at the side of the road and frowned in surprise thinking who that rich person could be and why that person would come into such a low area like this.Just as he was a few steps away from entering his building he heard a low
Laura sat stupefied when Steven parked his car in front of the huge gates of the castle and soon two men wearing a white plain shirt, with dark-colored waistcoats, and a long black trouser walked towards their car and then they respectfully nodded their head in a way of greeting.One of the men then started taking out the luggage from the back of the car while the other stood patiently, his head lowered in respect. Steven got out of the car while Laura stayed still at her place looking around, astonished.A man tried to take the step towards the door to open it for Laura, but Steven signaled him and he immediately withdrew his steps.“Laura, come…” Steven offered her his hand and waited patiently for her to take it. But Laura didn’t respond and kept looking around, anxiously.“It’s going to be fine, come.” Steven comforted her and again waited patiently but still, there was no response from Laura’s side. After sigh
“Why did you change your mind suddenly?” Steven’s father (Old Master) asked sitting on his desk with his eyes narrowed at his son.As far as he knew Steven’s nature he isn’t the man who would change in one night just like that, there must be something that he is hiding from him, but what? And also his sudden marriage? That raised multiple worries in his heart.“I have realized that mom had already gone,” Steven said in a dark and low voice, and hearing his words, his father shifted in his seat uncomfortably.“And the marriage? Is she your old su…?” Old Master asked with raised brow but before he would be able to complete the question Steven snapped at him angrily, “She isn’t related to that dark world at all. She is innocent.”His words made Old master’s eyes widen in disbelief as he blurted out, worried. “You didn’t tell her?”“What is there to tell
A hearse in black color drove slowly around the castle. A large number of people came to mourn the loss of the Old Madam. Steven, Tyler, and Old Master wearing black walked behind the hearse paying respect to the love of their life, a wife, a mother, a friend.Their faces showed the sorrow but not a single tear was shed from their eyes. They stayed strong together and with respect and honor Steven and Tyler carried their mother’s coffin into the church for the last rituals.All the people came to say a prayer and then placed a flower in respect. Old Madam had lived like a queen of Aldrich Village and was buried with the same honor and dignity.Old Master's face stayed straight all the type but his red eyes showed the pain he was having. Steven and Tyler stood beside each other giving each other unspoken courage and strength. While Laura sat in the wheelchair with a black dress and round hat on her face.She watched Steven carefully with anxiousness. She cou
After burying Old Madam in peace, Steven stayed behind with his father, and brother to complete the last honor and sent Laura back to the castle because her health condition wasn’t particularly good at the moment.“It’s the young master’s order.” Mr. Xavier informed her as he started pushing her wheelchair towards the car. Laura turned to look at Steven, reluctant to leave him, she spotted him standing under a large tree, his eyes staring blankly at the particular space.Soon, she saw a woman approaching him, when Steven noticed the woman’s presence, he frowned badly and then walked away with a stern face. Laura tried her best to have a look at the woman’s face but her face was partially covered by a long hat.“Mrs. Aldrich…” Xavier’s voice brought her back and then absent-mindedly she sat in the car.***“Laura…” As Laura entered the castle, she saw a woman standing in the
THE UPCOMING STORY IS RELATED TO STEVEN’S PASTA middle-aged woman wearing a knee-length dress in a light pink color was chatting and laughing happily and then after a while, she turned and called the young boy who was standing near the door looking shy and flushed.“Steven.. Come here.”The boy wearing a plain shirt and trousers walked nervously to her.“Here, that’s my son, Steven.” Sofia Aldrich (Old Madam) introduced her son with a wide smile to the woman sitting in front of her. “Steven, Hello, I am Steva.” The woman offered her hand with a polite smile, Steven shyly stretched his arm and shook his hand with her.“So, tomorrow we will start the class, ok. I don’t want you to be late.” Steva said in a strict tone but her sea-green eyes were soft on him. Finally, Steven passed a smile to her and then nodded his head.“Great… Thank you so much Steva for agreeing on it&helli
“Steve, do you love me?” Steva’s question made his heart skip a beat.He tilted his head in her direction and said with a bitter smile, “Do you still have a doubt?”Steva smiled with painful dimples and gasped in pain, “Why… Why Steve? Nobody loves me, so why do you?” She started sobbing.“I don’t have any reason to love you… I just love you…” Steven said truthfully and held her face closely and sealed the moment by kissing her lips, she tasted sweet just like she is, he couldn’t help but devour her deeply and then a sudden thud made him fall on the sand heavily.BOOM“No…” Steva said looking flushed and distressed and then ran away from Steven.Days passed to this incident, neither did Steven see Steva after that and nor did Steva try to contact him. They both again went back to strangers burning all the blissful memories of the past.But no m
PRESENT“Steve…?” Laura looked up at Steven who was lost in his past with his hand pressing on his chest as though he was feeling the pain from it.“Huh…” Steven’s trance from the past broke and he looked down at the small face of Laura.“It’s alright… It’s gone…” Laura said while taking his hand away from his chest.“Hmmm… but it still haunts me…” Steven confessed in a hoarse voice.“Steve, people can’t change their past you need to move on with it,” Laura told him and he sighed agreeing to her words.“You were just like me, remember the first time, when I saw you crying for Augustus in my room, I knew exactly at that moment that if I won’t help you, you would end up the same way I did. Maybe that is the reason I never wanted to leave your side and stay with you every time so you won’t end up regretting just li
