"Daniel.?" Lisa asked surprisingly.

"Hey, you silly girl..! You spoiled my surprise." Daniel scolded from behind.

"What? What are you saying? Don't.." before Lisa could complete her sentence. Daniel interrupted Her, "At five o'clock come to the railway station to pick me up. I'll wait for you sister, bye."  Then he hung up the call.

While she was in a daze, Natasha knocked and told her that the President had asked for her.

Lisa entered the room, Augustus was busy on the laptop. He didn't lookup. He just pointed at a file and said, "Take these designs, select one for my office and send it to Bella immediately."

Lisa nodded, took the file, then turned to go but stopped at second thought and said, "Mr Augustus, that day actually.." Before she could explain to him Augustus interrupted her "If it's not work-related don't say it."

Lisa frowned and looked at him with painful eyes. She then said calmly, " Mr Augutus, I have some work today. Can I leave early.?"

Augustus stopped his work and looked at Her, she felt scared by his deep gaze. "What work.?"

"It's personal." She muttered.

Augustus nodded and a smile appeared on her face. She thanked him and left. Seeing her happy face Augustus wondered what personal work she would have Today.?

...

At five clock, Lisa was standing at the railway station waiting for her brother. He has come from Milan to surprise Her. She was super excited to meet him.

His brother came out of the train and Lisa rushed towards him happily and without saying anything she hugged him tightly.

"Sis, people are watching us," Daniel exclaimed.

"I don't care," Lisa said while crying in his arms.

"Ok Sis, as you say." Daniel hugged her more tightly.

"Owww.." Lisa yelled in pain. "Monster..! Are you trying to crush your sister huh.?" She said while breaking off the hug.

"Hahaha, you asked for it, Sis." He laughed.

"You have grown up and look at those muscles." Lisa touched his arm and said.

"Well... I am 21 now." He said, holding his chin high arrogantly.

Lisa pressed his nose and said, "No matter How old you are. You will still be my little brother. Okay..?"

"Okay okay, sister. I surrender now, leave my nose please." He requested nicely.

"Hahaha let's go." Lisa let go of his nose and pulled his arm to follow her.

They both went to the Glass Hostaria Hotel to eat dinner. Daniel ordered many dishes and told Lisa that her birthday dinner was for him.

This is the first time he is treating her to dinner. Lisa felt very touched by his gesture. Lisa can see clearly that he is not a little boy anymore, he has grown very mature at just a small age.

Since her husband died, he had started tuition classes and did a part-time job in the bar at night. He has taken her young sister's responsibility so gracefully and he is trying hard to help Lisa too in the future.

They both finished dinner and celebrated their birthday by cutting the cake. Lisa was very happy and grateful by seeing his brother's concern for her. Her eyes became wet instantly but she wiped them instantly without his brother noticing her.

After dinner, Daniel went back to the station to catch the train and Lisa headed back to her home. It started to rain, Lisa was wearing a dark blue colour suit with a white collar shirt. She took off her coat, put it on her head, and walked to her home hurriedly.

When she reached home, Ted was already waiting for her at the door with a small rose bouquet. She frowned and asked, "Why are you here.?"

"I'm here to wish you Happy Birthday," Ted said while smiling evilly.

Lisa ignored him and unlocked the door. Ted followed her inside, and Lisa stopped him. "I need to talk." He pleaded.

Lisa let him in but she didn't shut the door. "Speak," Lisa said.

Ted looked at her drenched shirt and there was lust in his eyes. Lisa saw his gaze and turned to the other side. For a while, Ted didn't speak, Lisa turned to look at him.

Just then, he walked to her with a syringe in his hand. Before she could react he injected something into her left arm. She panicked and pushed him. The needle pierced through her skin, there was blood on her left arm sleeves.

"What did you do.?" She shouted. Her voice trembled in fear.

After a moment, an immense heat began burning from her back, spreading to her, the tips of her fingers and toes. Her vision began to blur and her body felt limp.

She leaned heavily against the wall.

Ted smiled and approached her step by step saying, "Tonight, you will be mine and then you can't refuse my proposal anymore."

He tore her shirt button and started kissing her face, then neck, and then her chest.

Lisa felt dizzy and tried to stop him but she couldn't. She tried to open her eyes and looked at Ted becoming a beast, she tried hard to focus. She pushed him with all her strength and ran towards the door but she fell, "thump.."

Ted caught her ankle and pulled her to him. She tried to hold something. She caught the bouquet and started hitting him with it.

Ted laughed and said evilly, "You can't win, Lisa. Just surrender and I'll promise You, I'll be gentle."

All roses fell from the bouquet. Ted stood and stretched his hand to hold her but at that time, Lisa landed a punch at his face and then kicked his balls with her heels and ran.

She ran out of the building. Her head felt heavy. Her body was hot. She held her shirt tightly and kept walking while stumbling.

Suddenly, there was a flashlight and a loud sound of brakes came. She felt scared and fell to the ground in fear. Her body was shaking.

...

Lester pressed the break out of sudden.

"What’s wrong.?" Augustus asked irritatedly.

"There is a woman, Boss." He said.

"Go out and look," Augustus ordered.

Lester got off the car and saw the woman. The woman was lying on her stomach. He asked, "Are you okay.?" She didn't reply. He turned to the woman and when he saw the face he panicked. "Miss Lisa, Miss Lisa."

He shook her shoulder nervously. Augustus heard it and got out of the car worriedly and saw Lisa lying on the ground.

"Lisa..!" He exclaimed in shock and then rushed to her and picked her up. Lester opened the car door. Augustus put Lisa in the back seat and sat down next to her.

"Drive home," Augustus ordered Lester.

Then Augustus turned to Lisa and saw that her clothes were untidy. The buttons of her shirt were broken. Her cleavage is exposed. Her hair is messy. There is a light bloodstain on her left arm sleeve. Her body was drenched and there was a faint smell of roses on her body.

He took her arm and started checking if she got hurt. He saw a mark on the needle and a small scratch under it. He soon understood what had happened to her.

"Has someone drugged you.?" Augustus asked sharply.

Just now, when he saw her at the restaurant with another man. She was totally fine. She didn't look drunk and she was walking straight without any uneasiness. Who can drug Her? How can she be so stupid.?

He frowned and clenched his fist tightly. He was in emotional turmoil. He asked again, raising his voice, "Lisa..! Did he touch You? Tell me did something happen? Talk to me..!"

Lisa frowned, she couldn't open her eyes properly. "No," she said after a long pause in a weak tone.

Augustus took off his coat and put it on Lisa. After that, he pulled her in his embrace and kept stroking her head gently.

After half an hour, Lester stopped the car in front of the residential building and then opened the back door of the car. Augustus got out and held Lisa in his arms. He took her to his apartment.

A woman in her fifties opened the door and greeted him. "Master, you're back. Madam..." She wanted to tell something but Augustus ignored her and took Lisa straight to his room.

Augustus placed Lisa on his bed and turned around. Just then, Lisa pulled his arm and he fell onto her. "What are you doi....." Before he could finish his sentence Lisa held his face and started kissing him passionately.

Augustus was shocked by her actions. His body was stiff, he did not reciprocate nor rebuff her.

Her tongue swept over his lips and went deep into his mouth, full of tenderness. She kept sucking his bottom lip until it felt numb. Augustus's inside began to tighten.

The way she was coming on to him. In this drugged state, it was extremely attractive.

He turned his head away from her to think. A low moan of satisfaction escaped her lips.

Then she kissed his neck playfully, sucking on his skin. She left a red mark on his skin.

Augustus's throat was swelling in arousal. Only God knew how much willpower he was using now.

"Damn woman.!" He let out a low groan and then held Lisa's hands which were unbuttoning his shirt. He stared at her with his deep blue eyes and said, "Have you lost your mind.?"

"I want you." She said hesitantly and smiled shyly.
