Chapter 135 I Thought We Were…

• Augusta's Pov(past life):
• After the events of the previous day, there was a growing distance between Augusta and Derek. He seemed unfazed by what he was doing and it affected Augusta more than anything. She knew what they had last night was intimate. He had never treated her that way before. She didn't want to believe that what they had was just a mere fling...no it had to be way more than that. But these days, she was deliberately avoiding any direct interaction with him, but he didn't acknowledge her presence either. She felt like he was toying with her feelings. So she decided to just stay in her room all night, so she didn't have to see him. She sat down on her desk and began to work something out on her computer. She had no idea what she was doing but allowed her fingers to do the work. So many things had been bothering her lately and one of them was her father's company. She somewhat had a feeling that the man who took over had a hand in her father's death because how could he legally own a company that wasn't even his? It was almost like he planned it all out. She stared at the skyscraper displayed on her screen. Then she heard a knock on her door. Augusta turned, wondering how a knock could be so faint.
• "Come in." She stated and a little child walked in innocently, glancing about her room. She turned fully to face the young boy who was shuffling towards her. He looked neglected and lonely and it pressured Augusta's heart. She shifted to the young boy. He seemed to have come to her for validation...the validation he hadn't received from his father.
