CHAPTER 24

Agustin’s pov…….
I woke up earlier then usual even though I slept late because of the throbbing headache.
I shouldn’t have behaved like that with her, but what else can I do she always know how to get on my nerves and I just lost my temper even after best of my efforts.
I need to be more careful and have some self control when ever I am around her. But no worries I will make it up to her once we start living together.
I just don’t understand why can’t she see how much I love her and will do anything for her. I love her so much that now it hurts, not being with her. I just can’t wait anymore, every second without her is like a punishment.
I have already given my lawyer the ultimatum to keep everything ready. I will take her signature on those damn papers today itself.
I am so excited to live with her like old days. Everything will be just perfect.
Though now Alex will also be with her and I don’t want all her attention to be diverted towards him. But there is nothing I can do about it she love that child more than anything and she will have my balls for breakfast if I do anything to him.
I want my own child with her. How many times we had dreamed about it. She was always so excited at the prospect of having a child together that her eyes always used to sparkle with happiness whenever we talked about it and seeing her with Alex I can say she will be a great mother to our child….
I was pulled out of my day dreaming as my intercom buzzed. Who can be here this early?
“Speak.”
“Sir, Mr. Jacob Knights is here. Shall I send him in?” Why is he here this early in the morning?
“Okay, send him in.” And seconds later a very angry jacob barged in.
“So how was your date with Onika?” He asked in a taunting tone, anger clearly evident in his voice.
Shit, she told him everything. Fuck.
“Look jack let me handle it my way. What I am doing may not appear right at present. But I assure you once Onika realise that she still loves me everything will be fine so you need not worry.” I told, to calm him down.
He fisted his hands tightly as if refraining himself from punching me.
What got into his pants? Why is he so angry? She is my wife after all, what is wrong in living with her?
Jacob’s pov…..
“Enough of your rubbish Agustin. Stop it right now. I don’t understand how ignorant someone can be. This is what you tell yourself to justify your wrongdoings? I am fade up of telling you the same thing again and again.
How many times are you going to break her heart before you let her go? Can’t you see, you are breaking her more and more everyday. I beg of you open your eyes and let her go before it’s too late, before too much damage is done, if you haven’t already reached there.” I told him barely controling myself from throwing punches at his arrogant self to knock some sense into his thick skull.
“And how many times do you want me to remind you she is my fucking business, my wife why can’t you and she understand that she belongs by my side.
She won’t even give me a chance nor will she tell me what to do for her forgiveness. Then what the bloody hell do you want me to do?”he snapped at me.
“May be court her like a gentleman is what is expected out of you and not to blackmail her like a bloody criminal. What has happend to you, can’t you see how much you are hurting her?
You have no right to behave like this with her when all alone from the very start you were at fault then why is she being punished. Can’t you see what you are doing to her?
If you continue like this one day she will leave you for good and there will be nothing you can do to stop her.”
As soon as I spoke the last part I saw a monsterous glint in his eyes.” She is not leaving me not now not ever… no one is taking her away from me. Let someone try and he will be six feet under before he can as much as take her name.” He said, his eyes red with anger.
“You are the greatest fool of all, aren’t you? No one else but you yourself are pushing her away. No one need to come in between, you single handedly are enough to bring this relationship to a catastrophe.
Stop before you reach a point where nothing you do will be able to undo the destruction you have caused.
And how dare you give her false hope that you will leave her in peace after three months. Tell me Agustin if she wants will you leave her after 3 months?” He just looked away, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose, instead of answering me.
” That’s what I thought. You are still playing with her innocence. If you keep up this ruthlessnes of yours I am warning you as a friend you will be left with nothing..
You have no freaking idea how much you are going to regret it all one day . Mark my words Agustin you will repent it all one day till your last breath but I am afraid then it will be too late.
You aren’t even realising what a precious thing you are loosing every day bit by bit.
There will be a day when you will look back and everything will be gone then no matter how much you cry or beg nothing is gonna be same ever again. Please please stop your madness if you know what’s good for you.”
Saying that I just got out of there. It’s useless now to talk to him. I know everything is just falling on deaf ears. I can see the determination in his eyes. He won’t stop untill he had destroy everything. I pity him now.
Onika’s pov……
When I reached office everyone was busy working their ass off with a scared expression on there faces. What’s going on?
As soon as I reached my cabin I heard a knock.
“Come in.”I said. It was Agustin’s secretary.
“How can I help you.” I asked politely, to which she just rudely stared at me and said.”boss has called you in his office.”she said.
“Agustin is calling me? But why?” I said before I can stop myself. Why can’t he just let me breath freely for a minute.
“Who do you think you are? Calling boss by his name, have you lost your mind? Be in your limits. He won’t take a minute before firing you if I tell him what you just did.” She snapped at me, rudely. Oh please what are we two year old children?
What the hell is the problem of this bitch. I so wanted to throw a punch right at her face, painted with makeup.
“Oh, you better worry about your own job because unfortunately I will be the last one to be fired from this hell. Now please excuse me as I have some really important work instead of wasting others time.”
Saying that I just left from there leaving her confused and stunned at the same time.
I was waiting for the elevator and when the door opened I saw a very scared Lyla standing there, her expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
” What happend? Are you all right?”I asked her, worried.
“Boss is not in a good mood today.”she said in a scared voice.
‘When has he ever been in a good mood’ I whispered to myself.
“I did a small mistake while going through the records and he got angry and said to go through all the records again and submit to him within six hours or he will fire me.”saying that she started sobbing.
I am sure he is having fun in unnecessarily creating this havoc.
“Hey stop crying please. I will help you with it. We will do it before six hours I promise you. He won’t fire you don’t worry and stop crying”I consoled her.
“Ok… okay” she said, sniffling.
The elevator opened with a ping, I got in and punched Agustin- I mean boss’s floor number.
Before I can knock at his door two bulky guards stopped me from getting in. “Do you have an appointment Ma’am?” They asked with a expressionless face as if it is their daily duty.
I just rolled my eyes at them. Seriously? Oh, for fuck’s shake. Why so much drama just to get in his cabin and who the hell even wants to get in the lion’s den.
I showed them my PA’s batch and said”he himself had called me so please let me in.. as you might be knowing he hates waiting.” They exchanged a scared look and step aside.
Finally, I knocked at his door.
“Come in.” Came his irritated voice. He indeed is not in a good mood. God knows what is about to come.
