Eliana called the hospital to find out about her father. The nurse told her that his condition was stable, yet every second hour, she would go restless. Augustus, who was on the laptop, noticed her concerned expressions. "Your father will be alright," Augustus said as he stopped typing. Eliana looked in his direction and curled her fingers around her phone. "Augustus, may I ask something?" "Hmm." "Who wants to kill you?" Her sudden question was not expected by Augustus. "I suppose you already know," she deduced."If I had known, then I would not have asked you to be my bodyguard," Augustus stated. "But why would someone want to kill you? If you have suspicions, then you can take the help of the police too," Eliana suggested to him. "I explained to you earlier as well that I cannot go to the police without any proof. Moreover, I want to find out about the person, who is behind my life. If you will be by my side, no one will ever be suspicious and I will always feel safe," Augustu

Rafaello told Eliana to stay in the waiting room of the lobby. He had decided to meet Gia and check why she did that. As he slid the door and walked in, he saw his mother laughing along with Gia. However, they both stopped as soon as Rafaello walked in. Gia immediately turned her facial expression to a sadder one. Rafaello asked his mother if she could go out as only one person was allowed inside the room at a time. Josefina stood up and told Gia not to take the stress. She walked out of the room. Rafaello locked it from inside as soon as his mother stepped out. He put the fruit basket on the table beside the table. "How are you feeling, Gia?" Rafaello asked as he settled on the chair beside the bed. "I am good, Rafaello. Thank you for coming to see me," Gia said in a low voice. "I thought I would die after consuming the poison, but—" she paused as tears streamed down her cheeks. Rafaello could not believe his eyes. A few minutes ago, she was laughing with Josefina. That's why Aug

"Umm…you both have planned it and I have proof about this. Augustus' mother had told everything to her son, Rafaello. Luckily, I heard them and recorded everything in this," Eliana said and showed the voice recorder to Gia, whose eyes grew big. "You have five minutes to take back your complaint, else this will be shown to everyone. The people who are accusing Augustus will be violent on you," Eliana asserted. Gia was stunned to hear that Josefina did such a foolish thing. Who had told her to tell Rafaello about their plan? Literally, she could not hide any single thing with her son. Gia was stupid to believe Josefina. "But he did make me feel depressed." Gia thought to snatch that recorder from Eliana's hand. She waited for the moment when she could sntach that. She extended her hand when Eliana stepped back. "Gia, I gave you the chance. You have lost it and now, you will rot in jail for the lie you have told the police. You will be interrogated along with the doctor, who made a f

Eliana, after a while, slowly withdrew from the hug. She peered into the eyes of Augustus which carried many questions. "Augustus, I am sorry," Eliana said, "for calling you selfish." She grasped his hands and caressed them. "I empathize with what you feel towards your step-brother. You must be hungry. I will bring dinner for you in the room," she asserted and rose to her feet when Augustus caught her wrist.She turned to look at him, who said, "Don't leave me, Eli. Just love me. I will give everything to you and your brother. Everything you desire for, I will give you, but don't ever leave me."Eliana was startled by his sudden request. It was something which was unpredictable to her. He was asking her to love him. She could see the yearning for love in his eyes. It seemed to her that he always wanted someone to love him. But, why her? They were in a contract marriage. Nothing more! "The last person who loved me was my mother. I even forgot how it feels to be loved," Augustus state

Rafaello arrived at his home and saw his mother was waiting for him. Josefina and Frederico were seated on the couch in the living room. He saw a few lawyers were also present. Greeting them, he looked at his father."Bury this matter and penalize the ones, who tried to spread rumors about them," Frederico instructed the lawyers and his secretary. He signed on the cheques and told them to work smoothly without leaving any rumored material behind. After the conversation ended, they left the mansion. Rafaello looked at his father, who looked annoyed. "Dad, Augustus wasn't behind all this. Gia was the one who lied about all this," Rafaello stated. Josefina stared at her son in bewilderment, wondering why he helped Eliana. "Gia betrayed my trust in her. I know Augustus never liked her and I always protected her. But this was too much. Augustus is my blood and if anyone lays a finger on him, I hate it. I have broken my relationship with the Toscano family after today's incident," Freder
