Two weeks later
A man with a heavy beard and disheveled clothes entered the lobby with a huge bouquet of roses in his hands, and a few threads of large balloons that had printed "Sorry" and "Forgive me" on it. He hurriedly walked to the elevator not minding other people's amusing gaze on him and pressed the number to his floor.He was getting impatient with each second passing and Xavier beside him could see the way he was acting, he smiled faintly as he had never seen his master to be that impatient to see someone.Before Xavier could step out from the elevator with his luggage, Steven hurriedly walked to the door of his apartment and then pressed the doorbell.DING DONG ... DING DONG ...Not getting any response from the inside, he pulled out the key of the door and unlocked it himself. As he entered the apartment it was pin-drop silence, frowning he shouted, "I am back, sleepyhead."He then walked to the bedroom but when he opened the door, he was stThere was no response and then he turned the handle to check if it was unlocked and indeed it was unlocked. Just when he turned to walk into the bedroom, where there had another attached bathroom, a woman wearing a bathrobe walked out with a surprised look on her face."What happened, Augustus?" She asked as she saw his intense appearance."Why you didn't pick my phone. I had told you multiple times to keep your phone with you even when you go for a bath..." Augustus scolded her and Laura lowered her head as she apologized, "I am really sorry for that. I would be careful next time.""Go and change, we need to talk," Augustus told her coldly and then took off his coat, kept it on the stand, and then sat on the sofa casually. "Have you cooked something yet?" Augustus shouted from outside while Laura was in the bedroom changing her clothes."No... I wasn't feeling hungry," Laura answered him back.He then shook his head, looking helpless and worried, as he stoo
Laura, wearing a sweater with tights and a beanie cap on her head, was looking around for the papers she had prepared last night for the submission of her resignation. Just then a knock came on her door.KNOCK...KNOCK.."Coming," She yelled from inside, finally finding the papers she was looking for, and then she took out a square box from the drawer of her corner table, multiple emotions surged into her eyes staring at that box. She rubbed her thumb over it feeling heaviness in her heart and then finally stepped out of her room just to find Augustus sitting at the table waiting for her."Breakfast," Augustus said sharply while sipping his coffee. "We're getting late..." Laura frowned looking at his calmness."Your health comes first," Augustus stated and Laura huffed in annoyance. She then sat on the chair and started eating grumpily. She chewed the food like she was chewing wax."Done..." She finished the breakfast quickly and then stood up hurriedly, whil
As Steven entered his office with a radiant smile on his face, he stopped when he saw Laura’s back at him.An inexplicable feeling of happiness arose in his heart looking at Laura after soo long, he had missed her a lot and knew that she had too missed him a lot that is the reason only why she had been so angry with him.Laura was holding her cap and gloves in her hands while her face was leaning on the floor to the wall glass ceiling window. She looked calmed and disturbed too.Steven frowned looking at her depressed silhouette, he didn’t expect her to be calm like this. The Laura, he knew, stayed calm only in the serious situations or the situations where she felt hopelessly disappointed.Has he disappointed her? A wave of guilt appeared on his face but he quickly shook away all the negative thoughts and outcomes that he least expected today. Today is the day he won’t let Laura forget.He intentionally cleared his throat, as Laura had sti
Staring at her firm and calm appearance even after she was so close to dying from his hands, Steven's eyes flashed with the complicated feelings.“Get out,” he breathed harshly as he stepped back from her.Laura was stunned by his behavior, she opened her eyes and stared at him blankly, his eyes that were furious before had turned into sorrow.He is staring at her with sadness and disappointment in his eyes while clutching his gun tightly into his hand.“I said get out, otherwise I am gonna lose my mind, Laura.”He yelled loudly and Laura staggered back, scared.She then stood up and ran out of his office with wobbled legs, and Steven sighed sadly behind her as he collapsed on the ground and then threw the gun away from his hand with a regretful and annoyed look on his face.THUMP***Breathing heavily, Laura kept running crazily until she was out of the building. She went to the same bench she used to sit and think abou
“Wu…Wu…Wu…”In a huge room, a woman was knelt down at the center looking miserable. She was whining loudly in grief, the woman’s face was covered with her hair but her heart-wrenching cries made everyone step near her in curiosity and sympathy.Suddenly a bright light flashed on her petite silhouette, and finally, the weeping woman looked up and showed her face clearly.It was Laura, her eyes were swollen and the most shocking part was that she wasn't shedding tears but the blood from her eyes.She exhaled, “Why?” and said with difficulty, “Why did you leave me? Why?”BOOM***“Laura…!!!”Steven yelled in a hoarse voice.“Master,” Xavier, who was working in the kitchen rushed to his room when he heard his loud cry. The sweat beads dropping from Steven’s forehead and his heavy pants were proof that he had seen something terrible that looks worse t
Tina looked at Steven and then to the washroom door in the hall with panic rising in her heart.“Laura…”She yelled but Steven shushed her, “Don’t tell her, I want to surprise her.”Tina gaped at his words and then nervously nodded her head. She then had no choice but to step away as Steven entered the apartment with a huge bouquet in his hand.He looked dashing and charming as usual.Tina quickly closed the door and then gestured to him to sit on the sofa, Steven looked around with curious eyes and then sat on the sofa.“She’s in the bathroom,” Tina whispered slowly, she didn’t know if Laura was going to let her walk back to her home alive after she will see Steven in her house, no correction in Augustus’s house where they both had been …She stopped her wild thoughts in the middle and then sat on the sofa beside Steven shaking her legs in nervousness and swallowing her saliva wit
After waiting for a long time, Steven finally lost his patience and then walked to a nurse who he saw first near the emergency door.“Excuse me, the woman I had brought here, how’s her condition now?”Steven asked politely.“That young lady …”The nurse paused thinking and then replied, “She had been transferred to a ward and soon we are shifting her to another hospital.”Steven frowned, Laura had been shifted to a ward that means she is stable now. He sighed in relief and then asked her ward no. The nurse gave him the instruction to her ward and he thanked her gratefully.Before Steven vanished from the nurse’s sight, the nurse stopped him and asked curiously, “Who are you by the way? Are you blood-related to the patient?”To which Steven replied calmly, “I am her boyfriend.”The nurse’s eyes widened and she looked at him with a shock on her face as she murmured confused
From the corner of his eyes, Augustus watched Steven Leaving the ward with a disappointed look on his face. Augustus sighed in relief and then murmured in a low voice.“God, please forgive me.”He then looked at Laura who had again fallen into a deep sleep and then touched her forehead. “I am sorry Laura, but I need to do this.”After saying this, Augustus went out of the ward with a dark face and after a few minutes, a few nurses came inside, and then they all shifted Laura to another patient bed and then straight to the ambulance that was already waiting for them.Just like that, Laura was shifted to a different hospital while Augustus accompanied her inside the ambulance. While pushing the stretcher inside the OT, Augustus’s cell phone rang showing his wife’s name. “Lisa”Augustus frowned looking at the name and then at the door of OT feeling perplexed, he then decided to silence his phone with a guilty look
