His Purchased Wife

Chapter 63

Aurora was dressed up in her favourite bubblegum pink short frock which ended up just above her

knees, showing her perfect long legs. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

And she just looked perfect for her mission, to teach that Arrogant ass the lesson of life. She gave

herself a flying kiss in the mirror as she admired her perfect curvy body and beautiful looks. With one

last glance at herself in the mirror she went outside her room for breakfast.

"Wow! You look hot," Susan commented, staring from head to toe, happy that she was back to herself.

The same confident look on her made Susan sure that her decision to separate Aurora and Gabe was

right.

"Thanks, what's for breakfast?" Aurora asked, stealing a piece of carrot from the breakfast table.

"What do you think? It's Emily's turn which means a perfect country breakfast."

Aurora smiled. "Perfect start for the perfect day," she whispered when Emily placed the trays of food in

front of them.

"I can kiss your beautiful hands…"

Emily glowed. "Happy breakfast.." She said but her heart was jumping up and down with every passing

second as she counted every passing second which took her closure to the office. But she reminded

herself that it was her work and her work was everything for her. she would make a name for herself

without any help in this world so that no one would ever make fun of her. No one would accuse her of

sleeping with a rich man to become rich herself. She wouldn't be called a gold digger in front of

hundreds of people ever again.

"I didn't get a chance to ask you this last night but have you started hinting at Rawls about our brand,

Aurora?" Susan asked her but Aurora didn't listen to a word Susan said because her mind was

somewhere else.

"Aurora?" Susan shook her head and Aurora came back to the real world.

"I am asking you something?"

"Sorry," she pinched her lips in a thin line before asking Susan to repeat what she asked. "That man

hardly talks to me nicely, Susan. Give me a little time to talk to him because right now all I would be

getting from him is another no."

Susan sighed but accepted Aurora's opinion. It was after all her who had to deal with the pompous

designer. She on the other hand works with the research team.

After breakfast they all left for the office and once reaching there went to their designated cabins.

Two new things happened with Aurora in the office. One: when Kevin Rawls' eyes settle on Aurora and

he is struck by her beauty. The girl was beautiful but in this pink barbie frock, she looked exactly like

that of a barbie doll. He couldn't take his eyes off her but he knew she was off-limits due to obvious

reasons but still, he could admire beauty when he saw it.

Second, Aurora couldn't wait to go to Liam's office to take advantage of her newly formed friendship

with her friend, Liam Knight and finally when Kevin asked her to take the newly selected design to Liam

she happily did that.

She went to his floor, asked his secretary to inform Liam about her being there and waited for his

answer.

"You may go in, Miss King."

Aurora gave her a polite smile before knocking on Liam's door and opening it. When she entered her

eyes settled on Liam's handsome figure. His black hair was perfectly combed back, he was wearing a

black dress shirt and black pants with a tie suit. He was sitting on his chair with such confidence as if

he owned the world.

Liam drew in a sharp breath when his eyes landed on Aurora. He cursed silently when he saw how

beautiful she was looking like an angel and being the devil he wanted nothing except for taking her

right on his office desk.

But once again he ordered his dirty mind to calm itself, the time will come soon. Today was the day he

would be taking her for lunch. He knew she loved food. Eating and ruining her time on social media

was her favourite time. So in the words of Alexandrio, he would be taking her on the date or whatever

he called it.

"Good afternoon, Mr Knight." Aurora greeted him with a wide smile on her face.

Liam sharpened his gaze, thin lines formed at the corner of his eyes as he looked at her smiling

conspiringly. "Mrs Knight, you look happy today?"

Aurora didn't let his Mrs Knight comment go through her this time because she has a different plan. So

she broadened her smile, "I am because today after I explain the next selected design to you as my

boss, I want to do something which friends do, I can't tell you how excited I am. I thought about it all

night, Liam…" she clapped her hands in enthusiasm.

Liam's frown deepened. "What did you think all night?" He asked, carefully. Not liking her expression a

single bit and not to mention the excitement on her face.

"I will tell you but first, let me show you my work."

Liam gave her a curt node. "Do that."

Aurora opened her drawing book, turned the page and started explaining the design. Liam was

impressed by this design, it didn't lack anywhere on the paper. For a moment, his eyes slanted to

Aurora's be**sts and once again his body reacted like a randy teenager.

He started rolling his gold pen between his thumb and fingers while enjoying the view of Aurora's long

legs. He gulped as his body wanted something else with the woman standing beside him.

"Liam…" She called and Liam drafted his eyes to her face.

"Yes?"

"Do you like it?"

Liam nodded. "It's nice," he told her. Her grin widened, "cool, so now that your boss' part is over and it's

practically lunch hour so let's do some fun," she said, pulling out her phone.

His lips tugged upwards as he jerked her hand and pulled her on his lap. She gasped," What are

you…"

Liam put his finger on her lips. "Sh! We will do every fun activity you want but first I am hungry and I

know how big of a foodie you are, so let's go for lunch."

"How do you know that?" She asked, completely forgetting that she was sitting in his lap.

"You are not that difficult to read, Mrs Knight but you should be a little private about your life and the

things you do. A lot of people can take disadvantage of your hobbies."

Aurora nodded. "I do what makes me happy, people can go to hell for all I care and who says that I will

be going anywhere with you?"

Liam chuckled. "I did and even though I am feeling happy with you sitting in my lap but I have a

reservation for us and I want to take you there just to show how much I value your friendship."

Aurora's heart gave a leap. She was genuinely hurt by the way he treated her. The words he said to

her on their last day on that island...she feared him then. But now was not the time to back down from

her plan. No, on the contrary, she was going to play the same game he played with her but hers would

be with little different tricks.

Aurora stood up from his lap and straightened her dress. "Where are we going?" She asked.

Liam stood as well and closed the button on his coat. " It's a surprise for you, now shall we?"

Aurora nodded against her wishes and they left. Once they reached the place Aurora looked around

the restaurant but found no other occupants."There is no one else here?" She asked, amazed.

Liam smirked. "Yes, I booked this whole restaurant for us."

Aurora was awestruck! He did that for her. He held his hand out for her, "Shall we?"

Aurora glanced at his hand and then at him. He was looking at her expectantly, the hypnotic look in his

eyes made put her hand in his and they both walked inside, hand in hand.

When they entered Aurora rolled her eyes around and she was touched by the beautiful decorations

inside. There was only one table inside at the centre of the place. "You did it all for our lunch?" She

asked Liam who nodded, assessing her every reaction.

He took her to the table and pulled the chair. Aurora was in awe of everything he was doing. Then a

perfectly dressed server came and greeted them in French before handing Aurora the menu book.

Liam kept staring at her while she read the menu, her mind and heart were not thinking the same way.

She couldn't focus on words, Aurora had other plans but she didn't expect this.

She raised her eyes from the menu and looked at him. "Have you already decided what you want to

eat?" She asked him.

Liam chuckled. "No, I trust your decision to choose the best meal for us," he said in his silky voice.

Aurora gulped. For a moment her mind went to Gaberial who used to decide the menu for them both

every time they wanted out. When she complained he told her that they are not in some five-star hotel

because it was out of his budget and he knew the best dishes in these small restaurants as he owns

the restaurants. Aurora felt bad but her love for Gabe stopped her from sharing her viewpoint and she

accepted whatever he used to say.

Today, with Liam she felt...liberating!

"Are you sure, I might choose something poisoned for you?"

At that Liam left a throaty chuckle. "Oh, Aurora darling," he haunched a little over the table, met her

gaze and spoke in a voice which raised pickles on her skin. "Many have tried but no one succeeded.

Trust me, Liam Knight is hard to kill!"

Aurora swallowed soundly. His eyes turned dark when he spoke, so dark that it felt as if she was sitting

in front of some dangerous man. She had seen his anger on the island but right now it was

different...what? She couldn't place a finger on it.

Even Liam sensed that she was fearing him, so he tried to hide his darkness behind his social smile

and made an effort to lighten the atmosphere. He was here to woo her not to scare her, oh, that will

come too. Only Liam knew how hard it was for him to pretend to do all this. He recalled watching her

vedios on those apps where she talks about her would be boyfriend.

Liam's jealous side kicked in imagining he with that restaurant man. He wanted to out a bullet between

his eyes but couldn't because the man was in Ethan's territory and he would the one dealing with him.

Nevertheless, Aurora wanted hearts and flowers with cheesy lines. He would give her. Anything for his

dream!

"Have you decided something because I am hungry?"

Aurora nodded. Her heart beating so fast that she could hear it's rhythm. She glanced at the server

who was passed her a polite smile but the moment his eyes met Liam's, he cleared his throat.

Aurora ordered their food and drinks with starters, the server left.

"Do you like it?" Liam asked gesturing at the place with his eyes.

Aurora didn't speak for a moment. Overwhelmed by his efforts. "Why did you do all this?" She couldn't

stop herself from asking. "Don't try to pretend that this is real you, I have seen your real face Liam. I

saw how heartless you could be…" her voice wavered a little but she composed herself. Not happy that

she let him saw her true emotions.

Liam understood right then that she was hurt by his action. He wouldn't be called the manipulative

genius if he wouldn't know how to read a person and a girl like Aurora who wore her heart on her

sleeves was not hard to read.

And he knew the perfect answer to her question. "This is to tell you how…" never in his life Liam had

ever apologized to anyone but damn it to hell he had to do it now.

"...sorry, I am for how I behaved with you. You see Aurora, I like you, you are aware of my feelings for

you and whatever I did was to spend some quality time with you alone. If I had told you about my villa

there, we wouldn't be able to spend the time together," he sighed dramatically to give weightage to his

words.

"Here I have opened all my secrets in front of you. Now, you know why I did what I did. So today, I am

asking you, Miss Kings, to give me a chance to show you that I could be the man of your dreams…" he

said, strengthening at Miss King just to show her how serious he was about her.

And Aurora went numb hearing his words and she kept staring at him while he patiently waited for her

answer…
