His Purchased Wife

Chapter 105

Aurora kissed Liam on the nose to wake him in the morning. Liam grabbed her by a neck in a brutal

grip, all his reflexes were in action when he felt a soft touch on his nose.

Aurora gasped loudly, her eyes broadened at his violent action. "Liam!" She managed to call his name

and his grip on her neck loosened.

"I am sorry," Liam whispered when he saw it was Aurora who touched him. He needed to get

accustomed to this thing now that he was going to have her on his bed every night.

"What was that? I thought you wanted to kill me."

Liam closed his eyes and left a long breath. "I thought you were someone else," he rasped and glanced

at her, "I didn't hurt you, did I?" He asked.

Aurora smiled. "No!" She replied. Liam nodded and pulled her closer to him. "Good morning, Little

one."

Aurora relaxed in his arms. "Liam, I was thinking something since last night," she said, tilting her head

kissing the crook of his neck.

"What is it?"

"She turned around so that she could look into his eyes as he was hugging her from behind while

cuddling. "I want to know you, I mean I know you but I want to know more about you. Your favourite

food, favourite drink, your hobbies, your favourite colours, Movies…" and she named a long list of

things she wanted to know which irked Liam.

Why does she have to know all these things? Why can't she just shut her mouth and do as she was

asked to do? Irritating girl!

Liam smiled, touched her face with his palm, "and how will you know me?"

Aurora bit her lip, "well that's easy, I want to go on a date with you, on long drives, movies, you know

the general stuff like everyone."

What The F**k! Now I have to go to the movies with her too!

"Alright, whatever you say, little one. But I have a few requests too, we can do movies but in my home

theatre. I don't want anyone else with us when I spend time with you. Long drives we can do that

anytime you want and about the date, we can do that tomorrow, if you are alright with it."

"Cool!" She said, shrugging her shoulders excitedly. She kissed him soundly on the cheek and got out

of the bed, Liam tried to pull her back into him but she shook her head. "Morning call!" She giggled and

went to the bathroom.

Liam stared at the ceiling of the bed. His mind was hazed with too many things going on around him

and instead of focusing on business he was focussed on Aurora, this does not sit well with him. That

was the only reason he never liked dating women, they were too much work. Yes, he has needs, dark

physical needs so he called whores for them, they were easier for him but now, with Aurora, he was

wasting too much of his time and Liam Knight didn't like it, not one bit!

Now, with every passing second, Liam was losing his patience he didn't know till when he could

maintain this lover boy facade. He sat against the headboard and took his phone from the side table.

There were many notifications on the home screen. Liam unlocked his phone and was shocked to see

seven missed calls from his brother Ralph.

Liam knew his brother only called when it was something important and he called Liam seven times

this morning screaming danger. Liam's body went haywire and without waiting for a single more second

he dialled his brother. Liam's mind was about to burst open because now he was not accepting his call.

Liam got out of bed and went to his room. The first thought that came to his mind was, is he alright?

Has something happened to him?

He kept calling on his number but Ralph was not accepting it. Liam's heart stopped beating for a

moment. A cold fear engulfed his body at the thought of his brother being harmed by anyone.

Liam called one of Ralph's crew members. The man Ralph trusted a little. In Liam's world, a little trust

is all you can give to someone. Trust was more important than money.

"Boss!" The man on the other end greeted him. "When was the last time you saw Ralph?" He asked.

"Last night, boss. He killed a man in an alert near the bar saving a girl from being molested."

Liam frowned. "Ralph did that?"

"There is something else, boss!" He went silent and Liam knew that there was something wrong. "What

is it?"

"Boss, the man Ralph killed was Declan, The Irish Mafia boss' nephew."

Fuck! What the hell was going on in his territory?

"Have you talked to Ralph today?" He asked.

"He called a few hours ago and asked me to keep an eye on the streets. He wanted me to dig into the

Mexican's presence in Vancouver."

Liam understood why Ralph called him this many times. "Anything else he said?" Liam asked not

showing his man that he was worried about his brother or wanted to know about him. Mafia life is a

cruel bitch, here emotions are weakness!

"No, boss."

Liam ended the call and called his father. The lazy old don took seven rings to accept the call.

If he ever wanted to shoot his father there were moments like this when he didn't accept his call before

the last ring. The clear message to people: you are not important enough to get Don Ryan Knight's

attention and until Liam didn't get that titled chair of Don he was among the other people as well.

"Son?"

"Where is Ralph?" Liam asked not caring for any greeting. He was worried about his brother.

"How would I know? He is no longer an eight-year-old!" Came the irritated reply of his father.

"Dad, Ralph is not accepting my calls. He called me seven times in the morning and when I called back

he did not answer his damn phone!" Liam almost shouted at his father, describing to him the

seriousness of the situation. There were no voice messages or anything.

Ryan Knight straightened leaving the hand of the woman sleeping beside her.

"Have you called someone from his crew?"

Liam pinched the bridge of his nose, "He killed an Irish last night, a top-ranked Irish made man."

"Irish?" Ryan said sharply.

"Talk to Ronan, Dad, ask what he wants?"

Ryan gritted his jaw. "Is everyone behind Vancouver now?"

Liam understood his father's frustration too well because he was facing the same. "Dad…"

Before he could say Aurora stepped out of the bathroom wearing a short sequin dress. "Liam…" she

called him.

He turned and forced a smile and raised a finger featuring that he needed a moment. "I will handle

Ronan, you focus on Ethan's daughter," Ryan told him.

"I am trying not to lose my patience dad, ask him to stop this drama and sign the bloody deal with us."

Ryan chuckled. "In this deal, patience will give you the crown, Liam." He said and ended the call.

Aurora went near him and linked her hands to his neck. "Is my baby, losing patience with some stupid

deal?" She asked in a childish tone and Liam wanted to cease his ears with hot wax.

Liam's hand caressed her back "yes a very stupid deal. I want to ruin the person but my father is not

letting me do it, he wants me to be patient and deal with peace with that deal."

Aurora pinched her lips in a thin line. "Maybe he is right, what would you get by ruining the other

person?"

Liam's lips pulled into a smirk. "Peace, Little one. I will find peace when I ruin that man."

Aurora shook her head. She was well aware of the ruthlessness in the business world. Her father was

a ruthless businessman after all. "I don't want to talk about all these things. It's Sunday today and I was

thinking about going on a lunch date with you."

Liam wanted to meet his brother, he was worried about him. "I have a meeting today," he told her and

the spark in her eyes dimmed at his words.

Liam sighed, he couldn't see the sadness in her eyes. "Alright, let's go on this lunch date, where do you

want to go?"

Aurora smiled, kissing his cheek soundly. "I was thinking about a long drive first then we will find some

little cosy restaurant for lunch."

Liam needed the patience of a saint. "As you say." He agreed, he needed to show her heaven before

pulling her into his hell.

Meanwhile, Ralph pulled Susan closer, "what did you say, taking your advantage? If I had taken your

advantage you wouldn't be standing here like this. You begged me to fuck you last night and from your

reaction, I guarantee you were never fucked like that before."

Susan was enraged hearing his proud words, she beat his hand to get out of his hold but he only

chuckled at her actions and left her with a jerk.

"You don't interest me a bit, you are just plain and simple Miss Smith, so your idea of me taking your

advantage is nothing but a joke to me."

It hurt her ego. How dare he speak to her like that. "Plain and simple, huh?" Susan didn't even give him

the time to blink and attacked his lips ferociously.

Ralph was shocked just for a moment but then he wanted to teach her the lesson she didn't forget. He

pushed her on the bed. Susan glared at him, stood up scratched his chest with her sharp nails. "You

want to be a wild cat, huh?" He asked, seems like you need to be tamed. He took if his t-shirt and

grabbed her hands together. "What are you doing, leave me!" She yelled but Ralph didn't oat any

attention to her, he tied her hands with his t-shirt to the headboard of the bed.

"Open my hands, you brute!"

"Sacred now, kitten?" He muttered and grabbed her neck once again, adrenaline shot through her

body, as he rolled her top down her shoulder. The tattoo was once again on display, Ralph traced it

with the tip of his tongue, while his hands were busy kneading her soft mounds.

Every part of her body was on fire, she was having electric shocks all over her while he was playing

with her body. She lost all her defences. An uncontrolled moan left her lips when he opened the button

of her jeans pushed it down her legs.

"You just wanted to get fucked again, I ain't you? What happen princess no one fucked you like this

before?" He asked cupping her s*x in his palm and drawing circles over her clitoris driving her wild with

need. "Fuck you!" She yelled through her lungs when he insulted her.

"Not so soon, first you need to be punished for your behaviour," he turned her around. Susan was

laying on her stomach now as Ralph brushed his palm over the soft round globes.

He would love to paint them red with his hands and without warning, he slapped her butt hard. Susan

gasped as the pain shot through her body, "leave me!"

"Why, are not you enjoying this?" He muttered, and once again slapped her.

"I don't want you, don't you dare touch me!"

He chuckled. "You are loving it, right" he touched her va**na, it was dripping, hot and wet. "Your Pu**y

is fucking wet, you are lying to me?" He muttered and slapped her on her va**na. Hard."

Susan was aroused, she wanted nothing other than to get fucked raw and hard. He has entered her

hotness with a finger while still drawing circles on her clit, driving her crazy. She wanted to snatch his

c**k and use it the way she wanted.

Who was on the verge of an orgasm? A little more of this and she would get her release, the pressure

was increasing in her body.

Her walls clenched against his fingers. Ralph knew she was on the peak and could burst with an

orgasm any minute but he was not going to give it to her, he chuckled and stopped her pleasure, stood

up from the bed and watched her with a mocking smile.

Susan who was on the peak of her ecstasy opened her eyes at the sudden halt in his actions. He

watched her stand up, she was short of breath, she was just a second away from the release and he

stopped.

"What are you doing?" She asked when she could manage to speak. The bastard chuckled, "if you

want to come, then beg me. Apologise and beg me."

Susan glared at him with murderous eyes. "Fuck you!"

"Not till you beg me."

"Open my hands I can get it myself!"

"Not happening, apologies and beg me to fuck you."

Susan wanted to scream but the need in her body was too strong to deny, her feminine parts were on

fire, it begged for his masterful hands but more than that it begged for his monstrous c**k.

"Fuck me please, please!" She cried when she couldn't take the delay anymore. "I am sorry but please

make me cum."

"Gladly!" And Ralph Knight showed her what a soul-wrenching orgasm feels like!

Chapter 90.

Susan watched her wearing his pants. She was still tied to the headboard. "Open my hands," she said,

still stark naked.

Ralph turned his head and arched a brow. "Say please, first."

This was getting too far for her liking but knew he wouldn't open her hands till she plead with him.

"Please, open my hands."

Ralph nodded and opened her hands. Her skin was sensitive from the continuous turning and twisting

of her body. She glanced at the mark on her wrist and a weird feeling erupted in her heart. "I want to

leave."

Ralph nodded. "I will ask my driver…"

Susan snapped her head and looked at him. "I can go by myself, I don't need a babysitter."

Ralph couldn't allow that, not until he got to know the reason for that Irish following her. If she gets into

trouble it would affect his brother's conquest of Ethan's brat. "You will do as I say from now on because

from today, I am keeping you."

Susan stood up with lightning speed. "Keeping me? Am I a whore who needed to be kept," she

snapped, angered at his words.

Ralph stood up too and grabbed her neck. "You like what we did, you begged for it. I know you want

more but I will give it to you on one condition only if you agree to be my submissive."

Susan grunted. "You have lost your mind, I don't even know what to do with you. I have watched you a

few times in my office only and every time we fought."

He leaned into her face. "You work in my company, I am your boss, Ralph Knight but after office hours

you will be my submissive."

She swallowed. Ralph Knight? He was Liam's brother. She needed to be close to him so that she could

keep an eye on her friend and not to mention the sex was great too. "What if I don't agree?"

Ralph left her neck. "Do you want to deny? A dominant and submissive relation depends on trust and

acceptance. I won't force you. It's your loss only."

Susan nodded. "I want to think about it." She replied. "I am calling the driver, do your hair," saying that

he walked out of the room to call the driver but found thirteen missed calls and five-voice messages on

his phone from his brother. His eyes went to Susan coming out of the room. He skipped calling his

brother and called the driver to take her to her home.

They both decided to be with each other for the sake of Aurora and Liam, the only thing was, they

didn't know that about each other.

Meanwhile, Liam opened the door of his car for Aurora who settled inside after giving him a soft kiss on

his cheek.

Liam sighed in irritation but forced a smile and kissed him back just like her when his cell phone

buzzed.

He immediately checked the Caller ID and his body relaxed seeing Ralph's name on the home screen.

He raised a finger at Aurora, gesturing for a moment and answered the call. "Where the hell have you

been, I have called you thirteen times, Ralph?"

"I was busy," he answered with a sigh and added, "I have bad news."

Liam already knew what news he wanted to share. "I know about the Irishman. I talked to one of your

Crewmen. "

"This is getting out of hand, we can't afford a war from everywhere, Liam."

"I have talked to dad about it. He will talk with Ronan and find out about his interference in our territory."

"Did she say yes?" Ralph asked about Aurora and then received a long irritated sigh from the other

end. The answer was clear, no!

"We don't have time, Liam. Do something please. Don't forget the commission meeting is in two

months."

"You think I don't know that, the girl is a spoiled brat!" He inhaled sharply, "I will talk to you later." He

snapped and ended the call.

Liam started the car, Aurora could feel he was tense about something and she wanted to calm him.

She smiled, held his hand and kissed it, softly.

Liam glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, she wanted to cuddle with him. He pulled her closer to

himself and hugged her with one arm while driving with one hand. "I am loving it, you want to know

something?"

"Hmm!" He hummed while focussing on the road. "Whenever I used to watch some romantic movie and

watched the couple cuddling like this in the car I wanted to do the same thing and today, being with you

like this I feel giddy."

Liam rolled his eyes mentally and kissed her hair, "anything else you want to do little one?"

"Yes, there is only one thing missing, actually, two."

"And what's that?"

"First is, I want to eat ice cream while you drive and second is…" Aurora started party music in his car,

full volume. "...this."

Liam wanted to bang his head in the car seat. He was going to lose his shit if this time didn't get over

soon. He stopped the car when he saw an ice cream parlour. "Which flavour do you want, little one?"

He asked over the high beat music as she was singing the lyrics with the singer, enjoying the music to

the fullest.

Liam lowered the volume to get her attention. "Liam?" She whined like a child. "What flavour do you

want, Aurora?" He asked again.

"Oh, Vanilla," she said, kissing him.

Liam never liked PDA. He hated it, for him, sex was a way of releasing stress he enjoyed it. He never

saw it more than that but this girl was doing everything he hated and she was doing it continuously.

Liam node and went to take it. He would have to do something to make Aurora marry him. Liam came

back with a cone of Vanilla ice cream. Aurora was talking to someone over the phone.

"Is she fine?" Aurora asked Emily about Susan.

"Yes, she came back early, I was right she was doing another nightstand."

"Alright, you told her?" She asked.

"Yes, Aurora, think about it again, it's clear you both are hurting each other."

Aurora gulped. She didn't have the energy to talk about this anymore." goodbye," she said and ended

the call abruptly.

Liam didn't ask her anything this time, he didn't want to fight her again. At least the damn music was

off, he could enjoy this silence till she started speaking again. "Don't you want to ask who I was talking

to?"

Liam gazes at her for a brief moment. "No, you told me last night that you needed a little space, I am

giving you that. If you want to share I won't stop you but from now on I won't force you to tell me

anything."

Aurora peeked at him through the lashes of her eyes. She was lucky to have him. She didn't want to

think about Gabriel anymore and only wished him the best in his life but the memory of how he used to

ask her about her conversation with Susan poked in her memory and once again her love for Liam

increased.

"I fought with Susan and broke up with her."

Liam scowled. "Your best friend?"

Aurora gave him a small nod, painful tears perked in her eyes as she told him everything. Liam was

impressed by the girl, she helped him unknowingly. "I don't like when my loved one betrays me, Liam. I

love a person wholeheartedly but when that person hurt me I couldn't forgive him easily." She raised

her eyes and met his gaze.

"Never betray me Liam or you will lose me forever."

Something twisted in him. His heart stopped for a moment hearing her. "I can't even think about it, little

one."

In the evening Aurora asked Liam to drop her at her home. Liam agreed, he was eager to talk to his ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

brother about the incident too. They said goodbye to each other and Liam sighed when she went inside

the door. He could finally focus on his work now.

Meanwhile, Emily hugged Aurora from behind. "Welcome, Mrs Knight!" She teased Aurora who rolled

her eyes and teased her back. "Thank you, Mrs Kyschove."

Emily gasped. "How did you know?" She demanded.

Aurora frowned. "Know what?"

Emily bit her lip. She didn't know how to tell friends about her engagement. But she didn't have anyone

else to share the happy news with, she already shared it with her parents after Alexandrio proposed to

her last night.

"I will tell you when Susan is present with us."

Aurora swallowed. "Call her then," she whispered.

Emily patted her hand and went to Susan's room to call her in the living room. Once they all were

settled Emily held their hands. "Thank you for always being with me, my beauties. I love you both and

wanted to…" before she could finish, Aurora's eyes went to the big rock on her finger.

She screamed in joy, "oh my God! Alexandrio proposed to you, EM?"

Emily nodded, raising her hand and wiggling her fingers, "he did. We are engaged now."

Aurora hugged Emily, kissing her on the cheek in happiness, "I am so happy for you Emily, so very

happy!"

Susan eyes the laughing and happy face of Aurora. She was happy seeing her like her old self,

carefree and confident.

"Thanks…" Emily said. Susan hugged her too, "congratulations, Emily. I am happy for you but don't you

think it's too soon?"

Emily shook her head. "No, I am sure about his feelings and mine too. Why wait when I know he is the

right one for me."

"Still…"

"Why do you have a problem with everyone's happiness, Susan? If she is sure of her decision then you

are no one to interface in her life," Aurora cut her in between.

"I am showing my genuine concern about my friend, not interfering in her life. Just because I am saying

something doesn't mean I am against something. I just don't want her to do anything in a hurry to regret

late," Susan snapped.

Emily rolled her eyes and sighed. "Alright, both of you! It's my happy day and I don't want it to make a

ground for world war three," she turned to Aurora. "She is right, Aurora. Susan is not interfering, she is

worried about me and raising a genuine question. Even my mom asked me the same thing."

Aurora shrugged her shoulders. Emily patted her hand and turned to Susan. "And yes, I know it looks

like I am doing it in a hurry but I have thought about it thoroughly, Susan. I love Alexandrio and we don't

want to wait anymore. He made me feel like a princess, he cared about every little thing about me. I am

happy to have him. He is perfect."

Aurora's mind flashed with the time she spent with Liam. A small smile erupted on her lips and her

cheeks turned crimson. Liam is perfect too!

She bit her lip in shyness.

"I am happy for you," Susan said.

Aurora was in her room looking at the sky, her hand was on her necklace. "Mom, He is perfect for me,"

she chuckled. "Wish I could share this with you, mom."

Aurora sighed and dialled her father, he accepted the call immediately. "Are you alright, Love?"

Aurora smiled. "Yes dad, I am absolutely fine. I am sorry I couldn't call you. I was busy and didn't get

the time."

Ethan King eyed the almost dead man in front of him who was moaning in pain. He put his shoe on his

mouth to stop the sound, "Is there something you want to share with your old man, love?" He asked,

putting on pressure on the man.

Aurora pouted. "How do you always find out dad?"

Ethan chuckled, "because I know you, love. Better than yourself. Come on now, share the happy news

with your old man."

Aurora once again looked at the sky, as if her mother was looking at her. "I know it may come as a

shock to you, but I broke up with Gabriel dad. I am no longer engaged with him."

Ethan knew it but hearing it from his daughter, he was satisfied. "Why love, is that something he does?

You fought with me for him."

Aurora regrets it now. "I know how much I hurt you dad, but things happen. I guess we were not meant

to be together. I…" she didn't know how to tell her father this, she was scared too because just like her

mother, her father was a one-woman man. She had never seen her father going on dates after her

mother.

"Dad, I am in love with someone else."

"Who?"

"The man you chose for me, Liam Knight!"

Chapter 91.

"What are you talking about? Whose wife?" Liam asked his father.

"Ronan said he is searching for his wife who was last seen in Vancouver."

"That doesn't mean he could send his canines in my territory," Liam pointed out. Ryan shook his head.

"This is too messed up!"

Ralph was quiet till now, Liam could see he was thinking about something. "What are you thinking

about?"

"If that's the oy concern of the Irish Mafia then we don't have to worry much about them. Our main

concern is still the masked man. We are losing too much in these fights. Any success with Alessio?" He

asked Liam.

"None, he didn't want to get involved in our fights. He is neutral."

Ralph leaned back in his chair, "Dmitry is our last hope but he won't help."

Liam went silent for a moment, his fingers drumming the table. His mind is fighting to find a solution to

the issue. "There has to be something…" suddenly, a thought came to his mind.

He didn't want to do it, no but Liam was not the man who couldn't risk the people he loved for the sake

of his dream. In businesses you have to keep your professional and personal life apart because when

they mix, all hell breaks loose.

"Dmitry Kyschove will help us catch this masked man soon. Ralph. I have played enough of this cat

and mouse game, it's time I play the role of big bad Wolf with Dmitry."

Ryan straightened seeing the sinister dark look in his son's eyes. "What is it you are planning?" He

demanded.

"Something disastrous, " he replied, not giving Ryan the straight answer. Ralph frowned but didn't ask

because he knew if Liam wanted to share he would have done it.

Liam glanced at his phone which buzzed with a message notification. As if some higher self was also

giving him a sign, he opened the message box and read it.

Come to my home, I have something to share with you.

Liam stood up, "I have to meet, Alexandrios," saying that he left to meet his friend.

Alexandrio was talking to his brother over the phone, telling him about his engagement. "Are you sure

about it?" Came his brother's question.

"Yes, Dimitry, I am sure."

"When can I meet your girl?"

"Next week, I am coming to Russia with her. She wanted to meet you as well but I need a promise from

you, Dimitry."

Dimitry patted the head of his Putana who crawled back from his room. No one needed to hear the

family talk and certainly not a whore. "What promise?"

"I don't want you to scare her, She came from a clean background and I don't want to know what we

are?"

This angered Dimitry, "and what are we, Alexandrio?" He asked sharply.

Alexandrio sighed. "You know what I am talking about, brother. Can you behave a little normal with

her?"

"I am not a blood-sucking animal, or am I? I guess that's why everyone is scared of me." He chuckled,

"bring your woman without any worry," he said and ended the call and snapped his finger to call his

puts a back and finish the job she was doing.

Liam arched a brow to his friend, asking him about the reason for calling him here. He handed him the

glass of whiskey, "I am getting married."

Liam froze for a moment. He met his eyes, for a moment he wanted to drop his plan but he was not the

man who goes back on his decisions. "Who is the lucky girl?" He asked, taking a sip from his glass.

"You know her."

Liam frowned. "Who?"

"Your girl's friend, Emily Smith."

Liam stiffened at his answer. It would affect Aurora, too. He knew how much her friends meant to her.

Liam circled the brim of the glass with his forefinger. "I am happy for you, Alex."

Alexandrio rested his hand on Liam's shoulder. "I am taking Emily to meet my brother in Russia next

week and we are getting married the week after. I want you to be my best man with Dimitry, after all,

you are like a brother to me."

Liam nodded. "Brothers can die for each other, Alexandrio, can you die for me," he asked, staring into

his eyes.

Alexandrio chuckled. "Are you asking if I can die for you, Liam?"

"Maybe!" He replied with a shrug of his shoulder. "Can you die for me, Alex?" He asked, straight on.

Alexandrio laughed but then he became completely serious just like Liam. "Yes, I can die for my

brothers, you and Dimitry both."

Liam raised his glass in the air, mocking a salute to his friend. He could die for Liam and could do the

same but only till his friendship was not coming in the way of his dream and now it was coming. Dimitri

would never help Liam in catching the masked man till he faced problems from him itself.

"I promise to make your wedding a remembrance for you, brother," he promised Alexandrio who

nodded and gulped down the whole class of whiskey in one go.

"Have you reached somewhere with your girl?" He asked Liam.

"She accepted me as her man but still denied marrying me, you are lucky your girl said this early."

"I will give you a tip, there is no better time to propose than someone's marriage. Every girl dreamed of

wearing that white dress herself. The pre-wedding excitement can charm any girl to say yes. You

should try your luck, Liam."

Liam inclined his head, the idea was not bad.

The next day, Liam received a call from Ethan. "You didn't call me to hear you breathe, Ethan."

"Aurora called me last night!"

Liam arched a brow, a smirk played on his lips. "And?" He asked with a chuckle.

"Stop smirking, Liam. She had fallen in love with you, she talks so highly about you being a perfect

gentleman that it made me shoot you right between the eyes because I know It's all a lie, damn you!"

Liam leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming the table, "isn't it what you wanted Ethan? Your

daughter, marrying for love. I gave her what she wanted, what you wanted me to give her and as far as

it is a lie is concerned. My emotions were never part of our deal. You wanted me to give her hearts and

flowers, I gave her. You wanted me to protect her, she will be well protected her whole life, my words

on that. You wanted her to have a child, an heir for your kingdom. This would be the first thing I would

be working on once we are married. I accepted everything you asked me to do, Ethan. For peace and

my father's friendship with you. Don't expect anything else from me because I won't give it to you. I did

my side of hard work for the deal Ethan now it's your turn, the commission meeting is in two months. I

want your unconditional support for the chair of the president."

Ethan King closed his eyes. "If you marry my daughter before the meeting, then only."

Liam sighed. "Do you take me as a fool, Ethan? You didn't just call me to inform me about Aurora

calling you and telling you about her relationship status. I know you asked her about her marriage plan

with me."

Ethan was furious hearing the mockery in his voice. "I have warned you before, Liam and I am warning

you again, my daughter is everything for me, if she ever comes to know about our deal or this fake love

of yours, you will see a side of Ethan Nobody has seen before. You have played your loverboy part too

well now, keep playing this till the end of your life," saying that he ended the call.

Liam chuckled. "Oh Ethan, you don't have any idea about my real game."

"Have you heard? They are coming back today," Aurora said, pressing a soft kiss on Liam's head. Now,

she was open about her relationship with Liam in the office. Liam looked up from his tablet and waited

for her to speak further.

"What are you talking about?" He asked, with a frown between his brows. Aurora loved it when he got a

serious look on her face.

She sat on his lap, Liam held her in his arms. "Emily is coming back from Russia today and now we are

going to start the wedding shopping. I don't understand why they wanted to marry so soon? There is no

time to shop."

Liam kissed her shoulders "maybe they can't wait to be together in every way possible. Maybe your

friend doesn't care about shopping as long as she is marrying the right man."

Aurora smiled. "Tell me little one, don't you want to get married?"

Aurora raised her brows. "Mr Knight, why are you asking this question?"

"No hidden agenda, if you are thinking that, little one. It's a genuine question I am asking. Your friend is

getting married after all and as far as I know, girls love getting married."

Aurora shook her head at his words. "I am hungry and was thinking about eating a pizza with you, in

your bed with a cosy movie playing on your television and a glass of wine," she said changing the

topic.

Liam sighed inwardly, "so you want to have a movie night, basically?"

"Yes, shall we leave?"

Liam agreed and they both left for his home. Aurora changed into a sexy silk nightie while Liam was

wearing black trousers with a white t-shirt. The fireplace was lit enhancing the romantic atmosphere of

the room.

They were wrapped in a soft blanket, Liam holding Aurora in his arms. A wedding scene was playing

on the screen. "I love this."

"What?"

"This time, just you and me." Liam chuckled and placed a kiss in the crook of his neck. His hand

slipped towards her breast, tracing the outline of her n**ple. Aurora moaned, her life was like a fairytale

and Liam was the prince charming.

"I want you to meet my dad and brother for dinner tomorrow, Aurora."

She stiffened in his arms, Aurora was ashamed of the way she treated his father when he came to her

house in Churchill. "Liam, I don't think it's a good idea."

He looked at her with a frown. "And why do you think so?"

She gulped the nervous lump in her throat. "I won't be comfortable with him, you know after everything

I did…"

When Liam still kept looking at her she sighed. "I didn't treat him well when he came to my home." She

whispers looking down in shame.

For a moment, Liam's body went stiff in anger recalling the insult she threw at him and his father but he

calmed himself. Now, she was in his arms and it's just a matter of a few days after that she would

become Liam's puppet.

"There is no need to feel like this, my father would be happy to meet you as my girlfriend. He likes you,

Little one, and you will get to know Ralph. You will like it, trust me."

Aurora pouted. Still not sure about the family dinner but she knew she had to do it because at some

point in time she had to face his family. Especially when with every passing moment she was falling in

love with Liam more and more.

Her cell phone buzzed and she checked the called ID. A smile came to her face seeing her father's

number flashing on the screen. She needed to share it with him because Aurora was not ready to have

dinner with Liam's family.

"I have to take it. It's my dad." She gets off the bed and went to the balcony to talk to her father.

"Hey, Dad…"

Ethan Kings understood at once that his daughter was tense about something. "What happens, love?"

He promised that if it's Liam who hurt her he would make him pay for every single second of her

sadness. "Did Liam do something to you?"

Aurora sighed. "No dad, Liam can't even think about hurting me in any way. He loves me too much for

that, I am tense about something else."

"About what, love?"

"Dad...He wants me to have dinner with his family and I am not sure I am comfortable about it, not after

how I treated his father." She whined.

Ethan understood what she was feeling. "He didn't tell you that I am also coming for dinner, love."

Aurora immediately relaxed hearing Ethan's words. "You are...oh thank god you are coming dad, I

would have died in shame alone there."

Ethan Kings smiled hearing the excitement in his daughter's voice and he could do anything to remain

it that way. Even call his friend and ask him for a meeting over dinner tomorrow. Ethan also wanted to

see how Liam is treating Aurora with his eyes. "Good night dad, I will see you for dinner."

"Aurora, don't share this with Liam. He wanted to surprise you, love."

"I won't, dad. Good night." She said kissing him over the phone and ending the call. She went back to

bed, positioned herself in Liam's arms who resumed the movie they were watching.

Chapter 92.

"And how did your meeting with the family go?" Susan asked Emily who sighed, "it went well. His

brother was…"

Susan waited for Emily to finish the sentence but she couldn't find the right words to describe him.

"...different!"

"Okay, I have heard many descriptions about people but never someone was tagged as 'different',"

Susan said with the rise of her brows.

"I can't describe him in any other way, first he lives in a place which is far away from the city, In the

forest. There he had this big palace kind of home and not to mention the huge dogs which look like

werewolves and not to mention the old housekeeper.

"Does he have horns on his head?"

Emily didn't understand the reference, "what are you talking about?"

"You described his place as a beastly palace. So I was just confirming if he was the beast itself. The oy

thing missing in your description was horns and furs on his body."

Emily left a tired breath. "I think he is a beast. We attended a funeral there and the weirdest thing was

instead of consoling the family he told them to be grateful they were alive. I mean who said that to

anyone. Not to mention there, people bowed to him as if he was some kind of King. I told Xandrio that I

want to leave as soon as possible but he assured me his brother was a good man."

"He didn't treat you well?"

"Oh, he treated me well, too well I say but it felt as if he was forcing himself to do it. He looked more

fake than genuine."

"Weird!"

"You bet, It was more than weird, but leave it, I want to think about my wedding, I will be Mrs Kyschove

next week. I am a nervous wreck goddamnit," Emily said dramatically.

Susan chuckled but hissed when she moved. The bastard has bruised her b*ttockes, last night.

"Where is Aurora?'' I told her to meet me in the morning and it's close to noon now."

Susan shrugged her shoulders, "she has been staying with Liam for the last week, she no longer

shares anything with me."

Emily rubbed her hand on her back to comfort her. "You know she couldn't be angry with you for long.

Give it a little time, everything will be like before."

Susan nodded. "You know one good thing came out of this, we are having a civilised conversation."

"Civilised, but till when?" Emily countered and they both burst out laughing.

Aurora hugged Emily wholeheartedly, "how is our bride doing?" She asked air kissing her.

"The bride is doing good but she is angry with you, we have been waiting for you for two hours Aurora."

Aurora's cheeks turned crimson recalling the late-night seduction and early morning teasing she had

with Liam. Susan could notice how happy she was in her new relationship.

At least she found someone who genuinely loves her.

Susan was happy for her soul sister. She didn't regret a thing she did with Gabriel. Aurora's eyes met

hers for a brief moment but she turned her gaze back to Emily almost immediately. "I have some news

to share with you."

Emily nodded while Susan acted not to pay attention. " Liam wanted me to meet his family and I am

kind of nervous after what I did, geez I am so embarrassed for how I treated his father. I called Liam

ugly!" She shrieks with a hand on her head.

Emily hid her laugh with a cough and Susan tossed her lips inward. "What are you wearing?"

She shrugged, "I couldn't even decide anything."

"Hm! Let's solve the issue, shall we?" Emily asked Aurora to stand up, she nodded at Susan and the

three searched for a suitable dress for the family dinner. "

Susan found the dress, it was a beautiful wine coloured, long skirt with a white shirt. "It's perfect,"

Aurora squealed and was about to hug Susan but stopped herself and nodded with a thank you.

"Any tips?"

Emily and Susan looked at one another before Emily turned back to Aurora. "Just be yourself and don't

insult his father today," she laughed while Aurora gave her a finger.

"F**k you!"

Liam was gently holding Aurora by her waist, she looked at Liam with apprehension. "You will be fine,

little one." He said, using a little force for Aurora to move inside as the maid opened the door for them.

Aurora herself lived in a beautiful home but Ryan took luxury to another level. "It's grand!"

"It is!"

"Come let me introduce you to my father, as my girlfriend," they walked towards the living room but

Liam halted in his steps when he saw Ethan King, sitting there.

"Dad!" Aurora smiled confidently and ran over to her father. Ethan engulfed her daughter in his arms

standing up.

"How are you doing, love?"

Liam sharpened his eyes at his father, questioning him with his gaze. Ryan only sighed in answer. Liam

gritted his jaws in anger. He didn't like Ethan showing power over him like this.

He might rule over Churchill but Vancouver was Liam's kingdom and no other king can show his power

in his city. Not even his would-be father in law.

He eyes the father-daughter duo, the smile on Aurora's face sparkled her whole face. Till now, she was

scared of meeting Ryan but with her father beside her, she was glittering in happiness. Aurora Kings

didn't care about anyone when her father was with her.

"Is Liam treating you well, Love?" Ethan asked loud enough for everyone to listen. He didn't care about

anyone hearing him.

Before Aurora could reply, Liam spoke up: "Yes Little one, tell your father how badly I am treating you."

Ethan's eyes shone with fury at the mocking tone. Aurora rolled her eyes hearing the anger in Liam's

voice. "He is treating me like a queen dad. I am happy with him."

Liam took a step closer and pulled Aurora away from Ethan, rested his hand on her shoulder and

placed a soft kiss on her neck. "Thank you, little one."

Ethan felt as if Liam had slapped her. Ethan understood what Liam was trying to tell him by pulling

Aurora away from him. She belongs to him now. A sense of longing bloomed in his heart when his

daughter has ripped away from his arms. He wanted to snatch her back but he couldn't do it. At this

moment, Ethan Kings was not a big mafia don or a billionaire businessman. No, he was just an old

father whose daughter was leaving him for her husband.

Aurora smiled when Liam kissed her neck but when she saw her father's face she understood he felt

bad about the way Liam snatched her from his arms. She created a distance between Liam and herself

and went back to her father, kissed his cheek. "I am always your daughter first, Daddy. Everyone else

comes after you."

Liam's body went rigid hearing Aurora's words. He was enraged, the girl mocked him in his city in front

of Ethan. How dare she!

Ryan could see the anger building in Liam's eyes, he very cleverly broke the ice between his son and

friend. "If the father-daughter meeting has finished, may I meet my son's girlfriend?"

Aurora met Ethan's eyes who blinked his eyes, telling her that everything will be fine. Liam forced a

smile on his face, "not that you needed but still, please meet my girlfriend, Aurora, dad," He officially

Introduced them. "...and Aurora, he is my father Ryan Knight."

"Please to meet you, Mr Knight," she said, offering her hand to Ryan.

"Oh don't be formal with me, Aurora. Call me Ryan," he said kissing her hand like they used to do in

the Victorian era

"I hope you didn't find my son too ugly to look at?"

If only the earth could swallow her. She looked down in shame. Ryan laughed when her lips turned

pink. "I was kidding, Aurora. It's very nice meeting you when you are not asking me to get out of your

house."

"Let bygones be bygones, Ryan, you are making her uncomfortable," Ethan said a little sharply. The

tone didn't sit well with Ryan.

"I am known for making people uncomfortable, Ethan. It's my hobby but today I am only joking with my

son's girlfriend. She is in Vancouver now." The last line drew the line of friendship and limits for Ethan

Kings. The limits should be respected by everyone.

Aurora felt odd with these kinds of talks but she knew the blunder was created by her in the first place.

She looked at Liam for help but looking at his stiff face she lost hope and looked down again.

Liam's gaze went to Aurora's pleading eyes. He sighed, "may I take my girl back, dad?" He said

changing the direction of their talk. Aurora raised her head and met his eyes, he smiled to comfort her

and Aurora relaxed.

Ethan noticed this silent interaction between them and hope arose in his mind for her daughter's future.

Maybe Liam's feelings change for Aurora in future.

"Oh yes, why not? Let me call Marta to set the dinner table."

He rang the bell for his housekeeper, Marta. Aurora thought she would be some middle-aged woman

like her housekeeper Mrs Dolan but her eyes popped out of the sockets when a stunning woman

around thirty walked out with a smile pasted on her lips. Ryan ordered her to set the dinner and she

left.

She went near Liam who had his hand resting on Aurora's shoulder, "is she the housekeeper?"

Liam looked at her with an arched brow. "My dad loves female company, you will get used to it."

Disgusting! And my dad never even looked at any other woman after mom.

Aurora felt deep sympathy for Liam. My poor baby, how he must be feeling seeing his father whoring

around.

She placed a kiss on his cheek to ease his pain and rested her head on his shoulder while the three

men were talking to each other about some business-related thing. Aurora was getting bored with

them. She wanted to shout, hello, I am here too! But couldn't because she didn't want to get involved in

any chit chat with Ryan.

"I am sorry for…" Liam glanced at his brother who raised his brows when his eyes settled on Ethan

Kings. "I didn't know you were coming, Mr Knight."

Ethan nodded. "It was a surprise for my daughter."

Ralph turned his gaze to Aurora. "He is my brother, Ralph," Liam introduced them to each other. They

didn't wait any longer for dinner and settled around the table. Slowly, with the great efforts from Ralph

and Ryan, the ice broke between Liam and Ethan and they all managed to have a civilised dinner.

Aurora smiled and laughed with Liam at the dinner table and seeing his daughter like this Ethan felt at

ease. Even though it all was fake his daughter was happy. He could live with that. After dinner, Ethan

decided to leave. He couldn't leave his city for long as there was war between him and the Mexicans.

Ethan took Aurora outside to talk to her privately. "Be happy, love," he said, taking Aurora's face

between his hands softly. "I want you to smile every day," He whispered, kissing her head softly.

Aurora's heart flipped painfully. She didn't know why but it felt wrong. Sadness gripped her heart into a

painful fist. "Dad…" a sob left her throat without any reason. She didn't know why she was crying but

she hugged her father tightly into her arms.

"Love? Are you hiding something? Tell me, Aurora?" He made her look into his eyes, breaking the hug.

Aurora shook her head. "I don't want you to leave me, dad. Please stay for a few days, please."

Ethan smiled. "I can't stay, love. You know I can't ignore my work."

Aurora hugged him once again. "I am scared dad, I don't know why, but suddenly I am feeling scared

as if something bad is about to happen.

Ethan stiffened. He didn't want Aurora to feel anything wrong. He wanted to protect Aurora even from

the negative thoughts. " It's all in your mind, love. You want to know something?"

Tears perked in her eyes looking at her father's face. She nodded, words couldn't get out of her mouth

as her throat was thick with tears. "Your mother would have been so proud of you. Liam is the perfect

man for you, Aurora. I am so proud of your choice."

Aurora chuckled. "Mom guided me in accepting Liam dad," she said, touching her necklace. Ethan

eyed the necklace which once used to be worn by his wife. "I miss her dad." She said through the veil

of tears.

Ethan hugged his daughter. "Me too, Aurora but your dad is here for you, I am here for you, my love."

She nodded in his chest and stood there, feeling the comfort of being had by him. There was nothing

more comforting than her father's scent. There was no place where she felt safer than her father's

arms.

"Shall we walk back inside, your boyfriend must be getting jealous over you spending time with your old

man."

Aurora chuckled as Ethan wiped her tears. "Let him be, I love my dad more than anyone else." The

father and daughter laughed together.

Meanwhile, Liam's hands were twitching in anger. "What the hell are they doing outside for this long."

Before Ralph or Ryan could speak Ethan returned with Aurora. He glanced at Ryan, "old friend, I am

leaving my daughter in your protection. Take care of her as your own."

Aurora stiffened at Ethan's words. "Dad, you are talking about it as if we wouldn't be meeting again."

"She is like a daughter to me, Ethan."

Ethan nodded at Ryan in respect. Then turned his eyes to Liam. "I am trusting you with my daughter.

Don't disappoint me," to another person his words might sound soft but Liam could hear the warning in

them. The message was clear, don't mess this up or I will mess with your life. Only if that was that easy,

Liam thought.

Liam smiled. "She is mine to keep now."

Ethan nodded and kissed Aurora one last time before leaving the place. Tears rolled down Aurora's

eyes watching her father leave, there was something she couldn't point out. A disastrous feeling was

crawling over her body but she tried to ignore it and prayed that it was just that, a feeling!
