Chapter 8

• “Ahh..” The silent hotel room was filled with a young woman's moans as she was again lost in her dream.
• ..
• “Nobody loves me.” Laura sniffed and tried to wipe her nose with her hand just then a gentleman offered her a handkerchief, she took it and wiped her nose as she threw it down and again started yelling sadly, “Nobody loves me.”
• Soon, her body was lifted and carried away. She was then thrown on the soft bed, she still wept sadly just then the man tried to comfort her while giving her soft kisses on her neck that trailed down slowly, he removed everything from her body and held her tightly as he whispered the words in her ear.
• “I AM HERE TO LOVE YOU.”
• The woman opened her blurred eyes, the beard, the hazel eyes, that deep smile. She felt a jolt as she realized what that man is trying to do. But that instinct go away in a second as the man showered her face with kisses and soon pierced her entrance with his length.
• She yelled in pain than pleasure as her body started shaking violently before she could reach her climax something started buzzing under her head.
• She frowned and shook her head not wanting to wake up until she finally sees the man’s face but unfortunately like all the past time, this time also Laura woke up in annoyance as she slipped her hand under the pillow where she felt vibration.
• It was her phone, she stared at the caller's name. It was her sister, Lisa.
• She picked up the phone and placed it near her ear lazily, “Yes sis.”
• “Laura.! Why did you leave last night without dinner? And where are you staying? The reception would start at 7 pm. Send me your address I will send a car to pick you up.” Lisa’s anxious voice came.
• “Sis, I don’t need anything. Send me the address I will reach on time myself.” Laura said plainly and hung the call before Lisa could say anything. She then put her phone on silent and threw it feeling exasperated.
• “Hawww... Can anyone let me complete my dream.?” She yelled as she pressed her face into a pillow in frustration.
• Why did she keep dreaming about that man?
• The beard?
• The hazel eyes?
• His deep smile?
• His voice?
• Laura felt too much frustrated, how did that man leave so much effect on her? Because he was her first that’s why?
• After lying on the bed for a long time, lost in her thoughts. Laura’s stomach growled protesting for food that she had skipped last night. She finally made effort and went to the washroom to freshen up and then called the reception to order her food.
• Her mood wasn’t good but she was starving as she gulped down the food in a quick manner. She then picked up her phone and saw her sister’s message. The reception was held in “The Grand Carlos Hotel” she had gone there once, she remembered as the memories flashed in her mind.
• She then opened her suitcase and took out the dress she had brought with her for the reception. She ironed her dress and prepared the things she needed for the night. While doing this, Laura’s eyes fell to the stack of money that stranger gave her.
• She felt distressed as she kept it back and then closed her suitcase to put it back in the cupboard.
• …
• THE GRAND CARLOS HOTEL
• The entrance of the Hotel was filled with reporters, a long red carpet was laid on the floor that touched the road where the expensive cars stopped and dropped the high-end guests of the party. Laura stepped out of the taxi and felt completely embarrassed, “I should have listened to sis.” She murmured in embarrassment and tried to walk to the corner quickly.
• She was wearing an off-shoulder red color silk dress, with a black fur shawl on it. She had put on black winged liner making her eyes more prominent and then the red-colored lips were complimenting her face as her hair was tied up in a high ponytail with side layers falling on her face.
• Her look was simple yet adorable, as she tried to walk on the carpet quickly to avoid the people’s attention on her, still people were able to notice her as they started clicking her picture. She lowered her head and rushed inside with a flushed face.
• At the entrance, she met Rheena and Monte Carlos (Augustus’s mother and stepfather) she greeted them both politely and they greeted her back. Laura then walked inside and looked at the stage where her sister, Lisa was standing alone.
• Lisa was wearing a color block sequin dress in Moroccan blue and ashen roses. It was V-neck, cold shoulder design dress with short sleeves. She was wearing a large blue diamond on her neck with a pair of blue diamond earrings completing her look.
• Her hair was tied in a side braided bun, she looked like a fairy in that dress. Laura smiled with genuine happiness when she saw her sister, when they were small Lisa used to act as her fairy mother, and today she does seem like a true fairy.
• Laura walked to the stage with a wide smile, forgetting about her surroundings completely. Lisa hugged her in excitement when she saw her coming over, “Laura. You finally made it.”
• Laura happily hugged her back as she said, “Sis, I promised you. Remember?”
• Lisa nodded her head happily and then kissed her forehead just like a mother would do. Laura hugged her tightly as she felt overwhelmed.
• “Lisa, Tommaso is….” Augustus walked on the stage but stopped as he saw Lisa hugging Laura. Laura immediately pulled herself away as she tried to run down from the stage but the next moment, Lisa held her hand and stopped her.
• “Laura, you haven’t greeted your brother-in-law yet.” She reminded her.
• Laura frowned as she looked up at her sister with surprised eyes. “Sis…” She pleaded but Lisa didn’t let her go easily she has to smooth things between them.
• Laura took a deep breath and finally with courage she looked up to Augustus. “Congrats on your wedding.” She congratulated him as she stared right into his deep blue eyes and her heart started racing rapidly.
• Before she could turn away and run from him, Lisa announced loudly. “You both should talk a bit, I will go and attend to the guest.” With that, without wasting a minute she was gone from the stage.
• Augustus stared at Laura’s appearance she did look breathtaking today, Laura looked up and caught him staring at her as she smiled nervously at him, and then something hit her head as she widened her eyes and noticed his grown beard.
• “Isn’t it similar to the man she used to see in her dream?”
