Augstine swept Charles up as easily as if he weighed nothing, carrying him away like a princess.
Promptly, Charles leaned his head on the chest of Augustine and his eyes were still closed. "Hey," Augustine purred as he gently called out for Charles while stepping out of the garage.
Charles' silence signaled his unconsciousness.
With a heavy heart, Augustine carried his contracted husband towards his car which was parked along the roadside.
'Why did he have to pee himself?' He mused an inward question to himself because Charles's trousers were wet.
Augustine made his way toward his car and upon arrival, he opened the door of the passenger seat and gently slid Charles to peacefully lie down.
'Inhaled!'
Augustine inhaled deeply as he made his way towards the driver seat where he got seated before fastening his seat belt. 'I have to teach that jerk a lesson.' He seethed within himself as he pulled his phone out of his pocket before allowing his finger to roam around the phone and scream.
Some minutes later, he instantly dialled the phone number of his trusted investigator and on the first ring, the phone instantly connected through the other end.
"Good evening boss," the person from the other end of the phone greeted.
Augustine replied with a loud sigh, quickly stating the reason for the call. "I want you to head over to Htyp garage and get the information of the man who tried to rape my husband." He growled, his voice dripping with authority.
"Yo… your husband?" The person from the other end inquired because he had always assumed that Augustine Wales was 'Straight'.
Nevertheless, Augustine ignored his question. "Make sure you get every single detail about that man." He added and with that, he hung up the phone call.
'Sigh!'
Augustine clenched his fist, slamming it against the steering wheel in frustration. "I should have ended him when I had the chance," he hissed, the words laced with icy rage and his car began to horn.
Taking in a deep breath, he exhaled loudly before turning on the car engine and with that he accelerated the car and drove down the road.
Occasionally, Augustine would avert his gaze from the road to check up on Charles just to make sure that he hasn't rolled out of the car seat.
After an hour of driving, he finally arrived at his destination.
Augustine pulled over at the garage of his mansion and opened the passenger seat where he gently carried Charles out of the car.
He stepped inside the mansion and headed straight to the stairs which eventually led him to his bedroom.
And then, he lay Charles above the bed before taking off the medicated glasses of Charles which he placed above the bedside table.
Pfft!
Augustine exhaled as he turned around, intending to head towards the closet in order to grab a pair of nice clothing for Charles.
To the surprise of Augustine, immediately he turned around, Charles swiftly opened his eyes as he grabbed the wrist of Augustine's right hand.
With force, he pulled Augustine backwards and Augustine ended up swirling around before crashing down onto Charles' body with a deafening thud.
'Gasped!'
Augustine gasped in surprise as he locked eyes with Charles, both men's eyes stretched wide in shared shock.
The moment felt suspended as they both gaze at the mesmerising eyes of each other.
"Wha… what are you trying to do, Charles?" Augustine asked as he gulped down his saliva because he felt awkward.
Charles chuckled, his lips curving towards the side as he exposed his teeth. "You are such a beautiful damsel." He purred seductively, his voice barely above a whisper.
Augustine's brows furrowed in confusion. "Umm… thank you-"
"You are such a beautiful damsel, Anna," Charles stated, cutting Augustine off from completing his words of appreciation.
Augustine placed his left hand on the bed, trying to lift himself up from the body of Charles when all of a sudden, Charles let go of the wrist of Augustine's right hand.
Swiftly, he wrapped his hands across Augustine's waist, pulling him closer. "You smell so nice," Charles whispered and a soft giggle escaped his mouth.
He winked his eyes, before bitting onto his lower lips. "I have always loved you."
"H-huh?" Augustine stuttered, unable to fully comprehend the words of Charles. 'What did he mean by saying he always loves me?' Augustine inwardly questioned himself.
"Anna, I will forever continue to love you so please, will you marry me?" He probed.
Silence…
Charles' proposal was met with a deafening silence, as Augustine's mind raced to keep pace with the whirlwind of emotions flitting across Charles' face.
Augustine breath caught in his throat, his gaze fixed on his friend as he tried to decipher the meaning behind Charles words.
"Umm… Umm," Charles mumbled while clearing his throat. "Anna, my heart will always belong to you. Please, make me the happiest man alive and say you'll marry me,"
Augustine's eyes bulged as if they were ready to leap from their sockets. "Charles, I… I'm not Anna," he whispered, trying to explain things to Charles.
"I knew it!" Charles exclaimed at the top of his lungs and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. "You never loved me and you need to rot in hell!" Charles yelled, shoving Augustine off his body with violent force and the unpredicted moment made the body of Augustine collide with the ground.
