Laura had been distracted since early in the morning, the idea that she was going to Italy tomorrow kept bothering her. If Tina didn't help her in the restaurant where she was working, she would have been fired by the boss.

Finally back home at night, Laura forced herself to wipe off all disturbing thoughts about seeing her brother-in-law, but nothing could work.

'No! Laura, you have to fall asleep! You can't let Lisa see this haggard look! You've done enough wrong!'

Maybe it was the psychological hint that worked, Laura felt as if she had really entered another world.

"I am here to love you." A man's deep voice came into Laura's ear, she could smell alcohol and then the smell of lovemaking. She felt like drowning in an ocean and then she saw a pair of Hazel eyes looking at her deeply.

For a moment, she felt like her soul was awaken by those eyes, she tried to imagine Augustus in that face but somehow that face changed into something she couldn't figure out as her body started moving slowly.

She felt the pain and pleasure, her muscles tightened and as she was close to losing herself she was awoken by her alarm clock voice.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

She hit it with her hand to stop, feeling irritated as she sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes just to find Tina standing in the doorway staring at her.

"What? I am not a ghost." She snapped.

"Still didn't see his face?" She asked with a raised brow.

Laura shook her head in irritation and Tina sighed. "You're good to go. Today is the last day remember." She reminded her.

Laura nodded as she stood up to get ready for her school.

The day went as normal as it always has been.

At night, Laura packed her stuff in a small suitcase as Tina sat on the sofa with a bowl of fruits.

"So you're finally leaving.."

Laura nodded her head as she was busy in packing her stuff.. "hmm"

Tina sighed sadly but Laura didn't notice her expression as she was busy packing her bag and finding her passport and all the necessary things she would need.

...

At the airport

Tina hugged Laura tightly as a tear dropped down from her eye. "I am going to miss you bitch.." she complained while slightly hitting at her arm.

"I will be back soon." Laura comforted her.

"You have to, otherwise I would fly over to Rome to bring you back do you understand?" She threatened her as Laura chuckled at her words.

"Yeah, I am sure of that."

As they both laughed, "Laura be strong and don't forget I am just a call away ok." Tina told her before she walked to check-in.

Laura thanked her wholeheartedly as she walked to check in and took her boarding pass, she felt heavy when she saw the words, "Rome, Italy" written on her pass.

Is it a right decision to come back to them? Will she fix the mistakes she had already made or just make the same mistake again?

Laura touched the letters with her thumb as multiple memories came back into her mind.

...

FlashBack

Captured by jealousy, Laura had done some silly things before, something could not be forgivable. She was the one who deliberately created the misunderstandings which separated the lovely couple.

After seeing Augustus's devastated look from being separated from his love, Lisa. Laura felt heart-stabbing pain, she never wanted Augustus to suffer like this.

She felt like her heart was bleeding painfully when she saw him broken. She went back to her sister's place and find out that she too was crying while missing Augustus.

She felt like a terrible person who has separated two beautiful souls and especially their unborn child who has not arrived yet.

She packed her bag with determination to leave Rome as soon as she can, she got a text from Grace before leaving. She was curious to know if Laura was succeeded in seducing Augustus and making him sleep with her.

Laura called her at the airport to tell her the decision she had made. Grace came over with a sullen face, she wasn't happy with Laura ordering her around.

She was just using Laura to destroy Lisa's happiness just the way she destroyed her happiness by taking away her brother's life.

She was full of rage and revenge, she would never forgive Lisa for what she had done.

"Why have you called me so late? And what is this?" Grace asked her unpleasantly and she was shocked too to see the small bag around her shoulder.

"I am leaving Rome." She told firmly to Grace.

"But... why..?" She asked stuttered, her eyes looked shocked.

"Because I realized that what I am doing, I am not going to get anything except hurting the people I love the most."

"What nonsense?" Grace uttered the words without much thinking as she looked at Laura frowning at her.

"I mean,, Augustus do love you. You just need to make him realize that." She quickly turned her tone gentle and tried to stop her from leaving.

"No... that isn't true," Laura shouted feeling tired and exhausted.

"I have seen everything from my eyes. I am not a good person I am destroying their life and so you are.. You better stop interfering in their lives otherwise I would tell Augustus that you were the one guiding me through these things." She warned her as Grace's face turned ugly.

"So you have called me here to threaten me?." Grace snorted as Laura replied her back calmly.

"No, I don't dare to do that but you know Augustus is a capable person if he would know about your intentions he would never let you live happily. So for your own happiness, leave them alone.."

“Huh… Fine..” Grace snapped at her angrily. “I will see how long you would be able to play that good woman role. Let’s see Laura how long you could pretend. Don’t forget we all are bad in someone’s story. No matter how much you run away one day you have to come back and face them.”

Grace was fuming in rage as she turned and left. She has chosen Laura as her pawn but now Laura has decided to step back she is at the loss of what to do now? She should never have expected anything from that useless woman! And she would not stop her plan to destroy Lisa’s happiness.

…

PRESENT

Laura opened her dizzy eyes as she heard the captain making an announcement of the plane taking off, she held her breath as she looked outside. The sun was shining brightly, 8 hours flight is going to end and soon she would be standing at the airport where she had never thought of coming back so soon.

She felt heavy while remembering the past and most of it, she was afraid and nervous to face Augustus and her sister, Lisa. She had done so much wrong but still until now her sister had never complained to her instead she always made sure that Laura never blames herself for the past and move on from it.

She felt grateful as God has blessed her with such a good sister, a sister which cares for her more than her mother would ever do.

But will she keep heart well and be a qualified good young sister?

ROME, Italy

Lisa wearing a loose nightdress, straddled the baby in her arms trying to make him sleep. Finally, after an hour of struggle, he went to sleep as she put him in his cot bed and very gently covered him with the small quilt.

The door of the nursery was opened very quietly as a man wearing a robe entered, he walked very silently and circled the woman's waist from behind.

The woman knew from the very moment of his existence when she heard the door being opened as she smiled while holding his hands on her stomach.

"Is he asleep?" He asked in a low whisper.

As the woman nodded her head, he rested his head on her shoulder as they both watched their baby sleeping while his beard face tickling her neck and face.

He smirked and teased her more while rubbing his face on her neck more, she laughed but soon covered her mouth afraid the child would wake up.

Augustus then stopped teasing her as he held her up in his arms and walked out of the nursery.

While Lisa gently closed the door with her free hand.

Augustus walked straight to his bedroom as he gently put her on the bed and threw away his robe.

"Finally the little monster leaves you alone." He joked as he came on top of her.

"Don't call my son a monster," Lisa complained lightly as he watched her dragged the nightgown up over her head and tossed it aside.

"Hahaha I should be the one offended by him, he has taken you for 24 hours, and also you and mom named him Tommaso. Seriously my son's name is similar to your ex-husband Lisa.. That is too much now.." He said grumpily showing his displeasure.

"It was a coincident Augustus, mom wanted his name to be Tommaso as he looks like your twin. And so I named him Tom as a nickname."

Lisa explained to him calmly.

Since their son has born, they had been looking for a name but as a month passed by, they couldn't come up with a name just then Rheena Carlos decided to name her grandchild "Tommaso" which means "twin" as his facial features and his eyes all are similar to Augustus.

No one needs to do a DNA test to know it's Carlos's heir son. Rheena Carlos felt overjoyed when Lisa and Augustus agreed to her request but later when one day Maria called him Tom instead of Tommaso, Augustus frowned in displeasure and then realized that somehow he had ruined his future by agreeing to this name.

This name would literally haunt him for a lifetime.

In his presence, everyone called him Tommaso as it was strictly ordered by Augustus but when he was away everyone delightfully calls him "Tom"

"Fine,I don't want to ruin this beautiful night with my wife before that little "Tommaso" would call for you."

He said meaningfully as he started devouring her, Lisa's body has completely changed since she has given birth.

She has gained more weight than he would ever think, but still for him she is the most beautiful woman and he loves her more than anything.

Lisa has no doubt that Augustus loves her a lot but she still felt bothered by her appearance as Augustus still looked handsome and charming and she, on the other hand, had turned into a cow with big curvy breasts, a bulging stomach, and a fat butt.

Her arms and thighs are not double but thrice more than she was before.

She was absent-minded when she stared at her husband's well-defined figure, she felt depressed and seeing no response from her.

Augustus angrily pulled himself away from her as he sat abruptly.

"Lisa stop focusing on other things, focus on me." His tone was harsh and complaining.

"Augustus I don't think I am beautiful now." Lisa sat beside him.

"I had told you this before, you were always beautiful to me. And I mean what I said." He held her face and made her look into his eyes. Lisa bit her lips feeling nervous and embarrassed.

"I am sorry, Augustus." She apologized as she has again ruined his mood.

"Fine, then kiss me now." He said with a smirk Lisa didn't disobey him as she sat on his lap and then kissed him passionately arousing his desires as he excitedly again pressed her down.

"Never ever mention again that you're not beautiful. You have no idea how much I crave for your body, Lisa." He confessed, his voice was thick with desires between his strong thrusts making Lisa felt lovable and special.

They continued their work happily as Tommaso slept peacefully for the whole night.

Next day,

As Lisa turned her sore body she felt someone tapping her cheeks with little hands, she then felt something wet on her face as she opened her eyes and was stunned to see Tommaso sucking her nose like a lollipop.

She frowned and then gently pulled him away. "What are you doing Tom?"

"Tommaso....!" A loud roar came from the door as Augustus entered with a feeder in his hand.

Lisa rolled her eyes, "Yeah Tommaso.. Why did you leave him alone here what if he would fall from the bed?"

"He's too cunning, he's never going to try to step down from this bed.. Aren't you?" Augustus picked him up from Lisa's embrace as he put the feeder in his mouth to drink.

"I can breastfeed him," Lisa told him as she stretched her hand to hold the baby.

"Go and shower first," Augustus ordered her strictly as she looked down and realized that she is not wearing anything at all. She can't let her son touch her while she is dirty.

She then stood up to go to the bathroom to take a shower, just then Tommaso started crying as he blabbered "mom" with difficulty.

Lisa walked back to Augustus to comfort their son but Augustus simply turned him away.

"Shameless boy, you're going to see your mother in the shower. Don't forget her husband is still here." He scolded him seriously and Lisa chuckled listening to his childish words.

"He's a baby." Lisa tried to reason with him but the next words of Augustus stunned her. "A baby who would turn into a man."

"Augustus..." As she tried to make him understand, he simply walked out of the room with Tommaso still crying in his arms.

"You take shower, I will take care of him."

BOOM

Lisa was frozen at her place for a moment. "What was that?" She mumbled under her breath completely at loss from Augustus's behavior.

Lisa went down after wearing a loose shirt and trousers, the villa Augustus had bought has 3 floors with a terrace floor separately.

The first floor has Simon's room, his study room, a theater, a gym, and an indoor playroom for him.

The second floor has Maria's room, her study room, a mirror room for her ballet dance practice, and the other two rooms are currently empty as they will shift Tommaso's stuff to that room once he will grow.

On the third floor, Augustus and Lisa have their own bedroom, a study room for Augustus office work, a library, a music room for Lisa and one spare room is currently the nursery of Tommaso as Lisa has not hired any nanny for Tommaso so she needs to keep him near her on the same floor.

While Maria and Simon stay on different floors.

The ground floor has a big kitchen with 5 rooms, one room was for Ms. Davis and the other 4 are the guest room Augustus has prepared in case his mother stayed here with him or his friend Bella gave him visits or Lisa's friend Sasha comes over with her boyfriend Lester.

He has deeply thought about his future before buying this villa.

They all dine together on the ground floor daily and at night everyone would go back to their respective floor to sleep.

Lisa has not hired the servants to stay at her place, she and Ms. Davis managed the cooking while the other staff people came later for the cleaning and would go back after 9. No servant stayed at their home.

Lisa wanted this home to be a family home and she didn't want any servants to invade their personal privacy.

Augustus always respected her decision and did exactly the way she wanted their house to be.

Lisa walked down to the ground floor as she could hear silence on the other floors indicating that kids has woken up and down for the breakfast.

Lisa went straight to her family that was all sitting around Tommaso, trying to please him but from time to time Tommaso would throw away the toys grumpily as he couldn't see his mother.

"Daddy, he threw my doll," Maria complained as she looked at him in confusion.

"Stupid, you gave him doll give him a car he would like it.. See.." Simon told her as he pulled up a car in front of Tommaso and made a gesture of it flying in the air.

Tommaso looked at him with interest in his eyes, but after few minutes he got bored as Simon gave him the car to hold and he threw it too.

As he blabbered "mom" and started crying.

"I think he needs Mommy, Daddy." Maria looked at Augustus as she told him.

"Why he always needs his mother, I don't understand this," Augustus said absentmindedly as he held him up and tried to calm him.

"Stop crying. She is not only your mother we all have a right on her too." Augustus scolded him as he was running out of patience and also irritated by the continuous voice of him crying.

Seeing his little son got scolded, Lisa took away Tommaso from his hands angrily. "Is this the way you should calm a child?"

Augustus was completely at a loss of words as he looked at Tommaso in Lisa's embrace that was completely quiet now and had snuggled in her arms like a small bear.

"Little brat.." Augustus cursed under his breath feeling annoyed.

"Lisa, we are a family. You should give us all equal time right?" He said as he looked at Simon and Maria to join him but they completely shook their head in disapproval as it was completely a bad move from Augustus.

Since Tommaso has born, Lisa had been very attentive to him and not only her but everyone in the family but no matter what every time when Augustus lose his patience Lisa would catch him at the perfect time, and all his hard work and goodness would go in waste.

He wasn't wrong asking for the time from his wife but he didn't know that newborn kids want more attention than anyone.

He had tolerated it for months and now he is getting out of patience as Lisa has stubbornly refused him to hire any nanny for him.

"Does anyone have any complaints from me?" Lisa asked angrily as she turned to Maria and Simon.

"We didn't say anything," Maria murmured looking at her with puppy eyes as Simon said beside her. "It's just the dad."

Augustus shrugged as Lisa stared at him with anger in her eyes. "I am going to make breakfast now." She yelled as she doesn't want to create an argument in front of the kids.

Ms. Davis greeted her politely as she had prepared all the things ready for breakfast, Lisa put Tommaso in a baby chair she put on the apron and tied her hair in a scarf, and started cooking.

"Eggs." She asked Ms. Davis without even looking up as an egg tray was passed to her, she cooked the breakfast without even looking up.

When she put the breakfast into the plates and finally looked up to Ms. Davis to take it out to kids. She felt surprised to see Augustus standing in the kitchen, he was the one helping her now.

She held the plates and started walking out ignoring him, as Augustus pulled her back. "Lisa, you know I love you." He told her as he pecked her lips.

"Yes, but you need to stop complaining about certain things Augustus. I don't feel happy to not give you alone time. I also missed the alone time we had together but right now our son needs me so I have to be there for him."

"Yeah, I know I know... just don't get angry with me. We are having our reception in few days I don't want you to get more tired. Let's hire a nanny for this week only what do you say?"

"Augustus..." she tried to refuse but Augustus stopped her. "At least during the reception, we need someone to take care of him. He is not used to staying in the huge gathering right?"

What he said was right, Lisa thought about it for a moment, and then she nodded her head in approval.

"So, now that it comes to the reception, you remember that my sister Laura will also be there, right?" Lisa put down the plate and looked at Augustus seriously.

Augustus' face turned gloomy immediately. He didn't like Laura, even though he was the sister of the woman he loved the most.

Lisa looked at Augustus' face and she said worriedly: "Augustus... Laura did all those wrong things just because she was young and ignorant. But she also learnt from her mistakes, she went to Boston, to go to school alone and without any support. Now she finally came back to see us, I hope you can try to forgive her and be nice to her. Don't let her be hurt again here, okay?"

"Hey." Augustus sighed and stepped forward to hug Lisa tighter. "Darling, since this is your request, I can only... do as you say. But, listen, if she takes any other actions again, I will still treat her severely."

"Thank you, Augustus. I'm sure Laura wouldn't do that." Lisa smiled and kissed his cheek. "Now, let's go have breakfast."

At this time, Tommaso's low roar came from a distance.

"What? Don't forget that you are here because of me, little one." Augustus' thoughts returned to Tommaso.

After he finished speaking, he deliberately kissed Lisa on the cheek in front of her, then picked him up, and walked towards the living room at the same time.

"You need to control your anger, Tommaso you're too tiny for it."

Lisa laughed out loud behind them. She felt completely stunned by the way Augustus talked to Tommaso and always teach him things like he is a little man, not a six-month-old baby.
