Our Forbidden Attraction

Feeling hopeless and defeated, Laura came back to her home but kept the money in hope that one day she will throw back the money to that person's face.

Once she takes her revenge only then she would feel relieved.

"Darling that was your price, you should spend it rightfully instead of getting angry.." Tina's voice brought her back to reality.

"Let's not talk about this now," Laura said as she saw the few girls standing near the gate, trying to eavesdrop on them.

Tina immediately shut her mouth as they both walked inside the school straight into their class.

...

After the class was finished, they both had lunch as Laura went to the principal's office to submit the request for her leave.

She finally chose to face it, even if the man she had a crush on was her sister Lisa's husband, her brother-in-law.

Knock.. Knock

"Come in."

Laura opened the door slowly as she greeted the principal respectfully, "Afternoon Madam."

"Afternoon. Come, my child."

Laura smiled warmly at her and then took a seat as she put the application on the table.

"Here, Madam."

The principal stretched her hand as she read the application and smiled at her, "So a whole month?"

"Yes, Madam but maybe I can come sooner," Laura reassured her.

"Okay," The principal agreed to her making her stunned. She has been here just for a year but the principal had always treated her nicely. When she left Italy and came here to Boston she had nothing except some money.

Thankfully her friend's sister is studying MBBS here and she helped her out in the admission of school even helped her to find a roommate that is Tina.

At first, she tried to give the exam paper for scholarship because she knew that she won't be able to pay for it by herself.

Before her brother Daniel and her sister, Lisa used to pay for her school and hostel but now she is all alone.

She was completely shocked when the principal told her that she had been selected for the scholarship program. It was completely unbelievable for her but her circumstances didn't allow her to think further about it. She happily started her school thinking that she had got this position by her efforts.

But in reality, it was Augustus, her brother in law doing it. He was a charming man all the girls would fell in love with, including Laura. But he had married her dear sister Lisa, the one whom they both loved deeply.

It's torture to fall in love with a wrong person. So Laura ran way.

When she left Italy, Augustus had sent his men to follow her and find her whereabouts. Even that so-called friend's sister had been paid by Augustus to give Laura shelter and food and also find her a place to stay.

He has even made a huge donation to the school, so that they would allow Laura to attend it. And that is the only reason why the principal showed her kindness to her.

Even though the new classes have begun, she is allowing Laura to leave for a month because Augustus had asked her to grant her permission.

All the things Augustus did is for Lisa, his wife who is very much desperate to see her little sister Laura.

Augustus deeply loves his wife Lisa and he can't see her unhappy or tense because of anything.

...

Laura walked back home with Tina. While Tina was all happy and chatty Laura was completely quiet immersed in her own thoughts.

"Laura. We need to leave." Tina reminded her as she nodded her head and changed her clothes to go to work.

But before she could move, her cell phone rang, showing Lisa's name on it. She took a deep breath before receiving the call.

"Hello, sis." She greeted while making her voice more lively and cheerful.

"Laura, how are you? Have your principal approved your application for leaving? Or should I ask Augustus to talk to her?" Lisa's anxious voice came.

"No sis, she approved the leave. I will be there for your reception." She told her as suddenly her eyes welled up in tears, she quickly looked around for Tina and then hid in the room so that she won't see her tears.

"Laura I am preparing your room. You're going to stay with me right?" Lisa asked her with hope, she knew what had happened before it was difficult for Laura to face Augustus but she will try her best to smooth things between her and Augustus.

Hearing this, Laura's eyes dimmed as she said quickly, "Sis, I am not sure about it. I need to go now Bye." And with that, she hung up.

She pressed her hand on her tight lips to not make any sound of her crying.

"You can still cancel this trip," Tina said in a serious tone making her jump.

"I can't," Laura said as she closed her eyes painfully and then sat on the ground crying sadly.

"Laura, you always wanted him to be happy so let them be. Just forget it and start over your life. It's been a whole year you haven't seen him either spoke with him once. What kind of love is this huh? I just don't understand your logic of loving someone who doesn't even care about you."

Seeing her sad face, Tina scolded her angrily. She just can't understand what's so good in her brother-in-law, Augustus that she just can't let him go away from her heart.

"I love him and that's enough for me to live. Seeing that he is happy with my sister I too felt happy." Laura told her with a weak smile to just get a scoff from Tina.

"Seriously...! So then why these tears huh? Why so much pain you felt when you saw him with your sister?" Tina questioned her as she wiped her tears and made her look at her.

"I.... I.....I... can't help it, Tina..I just can't.." Laura said helplessly as she started weeping in her arms.

Tina sighed, she doesn't know how to make her forget about Augustus she just prayed that someday someone would make her fall in love with him so deeply that she would forget about this painful love she has for Augustus.

"We need to leave, Laura. Your sister and brother-in-law didn't pay for our living." Tina told her truthfully as she held her up and pushed her into the bathroom to wash her face that has turned pale and ugly because of crying.

At night, Laura silently went to her bed to sleep and Tina stared at her thin silhouette with pity in her eyes.

She wished one day, God will give Laura what she wants and finish all her suffering in love.
