My Forever With You - Chapter 193

Next morning Lucas woke up early and headed to the office. Ron had mailed him about the emergency meeting which came up in the morning.

Elena was fast asleep and by the time she woke up she found herself alone on the bed. Creasing her brows she picked her phone and saw the message which popped up.

‘Sunshine I’m out for a meeting. So like a good girl have your breakfast before you start your day’

A smile formed on her lips and she climbed down heading towards the bathroom to get fresh.

Today Elena had no work in the office. Lucas would only take her along when her presence was need. He made sure not to stress her by giving her any work. Ron had been handling it very well which made Elena rest assured.

After she was done getting fresh she had her breakfast and went to sit in the garden. Her life has been a little stress free now, but she would still get feared because they had still not got hold on Marcus.

A few days ago when she went to meet Lucas inside his study she overheard him talking to Ron about Marcus. She clearly heard him saying about been receiving threatening mail from a month now.

She had expected Lucas would talk to her about that but she did heard anything from him. He was very calm around her and never let any fear show on his face which only meant that the threat were not very harmful.

She still remember the day when Natasha had fool her and how she had escape her death if Lucas had not reached on time.

While her thoughts were busy with Marcus she didn’t sense when Lingaa came and sat net to her.

“Baby momma” his voice broke her thought starling her as she flinched on the chair.

“Calm down it me brother” Lingaa didn’t thought she would get scared.

“Brother..” letting out a sigh she composed herself and pulled out a smile.

“What a surprise”

Lingaa had came to visit his sister because of the news he got from the department. As soon as he heard the new he headed to their mansion to inform about it.

Elena’s smile dropped when she watched Lingaa’s serious face. Her usually smiling brother had this seriousness which only made her frown.

“What is it?” she asked when she couldn’t hold on his expression.

“August wants to meet you” he said and her hand on the armrest tightened.

It had been more than three month after they had arrested August but this was the first time August had asked them to meet him.

“He had a stroke last night and is been treated in the military hospital. The doctors said it is very hard to stable his condition. He requested to meet you before anything happens to him” Lingaa was shocked first when he heard about August wanting to meet Elena but when the doctors said his chances of surviving is less he couldn’t reject his request.

Elena didn’t had the courage to meet him after all she knew his daughter died because of her. Even if Lucas said that it was not her fault because Natasha had choose that way but still in the corner of her heart she blamed herself for her death.

“Elena..”

Turning to the man she said,” I will meet him”

Lucas office

“I have already asked to prepare a new report. Just  few days I neglected the company and this is what I learn” Lucas was shouting his lungs out scaring the shit out of every employee.

The people around felt like they were walking on the heated coal watching their boss ranting in the meeting hall.

Ron who was also witnessing couldn’t even felt sorry for the employees. He had already warned them to not take the work lightly because if their boss drops in the office suddenly then they would serious loose their jobs.

” I want a new report by tomorrow and if I’m disappointed again then you all are free to leave the company” Getting up Lucas walked out from the meeting room followed by Ron.

Entering his cabin Lucas took the seat and pressed his temple. He had expected to have a nice day but all went in vain when he was given the wrong report.

“Ron have you checked the new startup which is emerging up and trying to compete with us” Lucas had been kept updating about every news related to the business.

“Yes boss and I have heard about them even banging the new project with the Reroll International” Ron passed him the tablet letting him read about them.

“Hmm they are sure here to win” passing him back the tablet Lucas picked up his phone to call his wife.

He had already left the mansion when she was still sleeping but now that he was free he couldn’t wait to hear his wife’s voice.

The call kept ringing but Elena didn’t picked up the call. He again tried to call but still the phone kept ringing.

A sudden fear started to build up in his heart. He was sure she must be up by now then why wasn’t she picking his call.

He again dialed a number but this time he call at the mansions number. The ring went twice and the call was picked.

“Where is Elena” he asked.

“Young Master Madame went out with Mr. Lingaa” one of the maid picked up the call and told him.

Cutting the call he let out a sigh of relief as his heart calmed down when he heard that there was no problem. But then why did she went with Lingaa without informing him.

****

A black Mercedes stopped in front of the military hospital were August was rushed last night. Calming her nervousness Elena took a deep breathe and went inside with Lingaa.

The duo was lead with one of the guard who was assigned outside August room. Watching the doctors talking something Lingaa excused himself and asked Elena to go while he have a word with the doctors.

One assigned officer opened the emergency room and Elena walked inside.

The room was filled with the beeping sound of the machine and there laid down a man on the bed. His face was covered with a oxygen mask and his arms were plucked with needles.

As if he sense someone’s presence his closed eyes slowly opened and he turned his head in her direction. A tear roll down from the corner of his eyes and his lips trembled.

Elena stood a few steps away from him and didn’t dare to reach him. She didn’t knew what she would talk to him and why had he asked her to come.

Lifting his finger he hinted her to come close. Getting his indication Elena slowly walked to the bed and stopped at a certain distance away from him.

August watched her contemplating steps understood she was getting scared but he was not going to harm her.

Removing his mask he called her name,” Elena..”

Hearing his voice she lifted her head watching tears streaming down his eyes. She had not expected to see such scene in front of her . The man she met a few months ago was long gone and now the man in front of her was a lone person waiting for death to embrace him.

“I am not here to curse you or blame you for what happened. I know it was Natasha’s fault and she deserved it” as he said those words Elena hold on her dress tighten.

Even if she hated Natasha she still didn’t wanted her to die. Her only fault was she joined hands with those who were not true to anyone.

August joined his hand in front of her taking her by surprise. She could tell with his action that he was repenting for whatever they had done with her.

“Hope you forgive me and it will at least lessen my guilt” August had lost the reason to live when he heard Natasha was no more. His life had always revolved around his daughter and now that she was gone he had no hopes to live.

Elena didn’t blame him at all because he was a father who was fulfilling his daughter stubbornness. Every parents wished to fulfil their children’s need but the difference in his love was he gave to every little thing of hers where she forgot what was she asking for. It was Natasha who had forgotten her true self in front of her obsession.

Elena shook her head and held his joined hands,” I forgive you. Please don’t join your hand”

Elena had not imagined such a prideful man joining his hands and asking for forgiveness for his sins.

Lingaa who was standing outside the room heard him and didn’t dare to enter inside. He had always wanted to revenge them for killing his father but now watching him take his last breathe made his heart tight.

He had thought not to show any mercy towards them just like how they didn’t show while killing his father but everything crumbled and now he only wished him to rest in peace.
