Chapter 22

"You look beautiful, Em!" Aurora whispered to her friend who smiled happily. Emily's life turned into a fairy tale romance and now she was having a fairytale wedding.

"Xandrio gifted me this, last night." She said, showing her pearl bowtie pendant studded with diamonds to Aurora.

"It's as beautiful as you are," Aurora hugged Emily tightly. She was happy for her but her thoughts kept wondering how Liam would react when she told him that she was ready to take the next step into their relationship.

"Aurora, I know it sounds mean but I don't feel comfortable in the presence of Alexandrio's brother. It's weird!"

Her chain of thoughts broke and she nodded at her friend. "You can't change his family, Em! Chill, and enjoy."

She nodded, "Where is Susan?" Emily asked knowing that she would be able to understand her situation better than Aurora.

Her name was enough to make Aurora sad. She craved talking to Susan but couldn't. "Don't you know? Is she alright, Emily?"

Emily sighed. "

    Chapter 23Aurora looked at herself in the mirror for the last time. She was wearing a white nightie with lace lingerie inside it. She was excited and nervous at the same time. "You can do it, Aurora," she said, taking a long breath to calm her racing heart. She twisted her lips inside in apprehension and walked out of the closet. Liam was taking a shower, so she decided to light the scented candles she ordered from the best candle store in Vancouver. The soft vanilla fragrance filled the air of the room. She did everything to make the night memorable for them. She never felt this sure in her life. Liam was smiling confidently ear to ear, tonight he would make her his. He had waited for a long time for this day. The things he did to make her, his, could not be defined in words. He recalled their journey, from the day his father showed him her photograph and her insulting words to him to this day when she was decorating the room to surprise him. He chuckled.

    Chapter 24"Emily Smith, Do you take Alexandrio Kyschove, as your loyally wedded husband?" "I do." There was applause from the people gathered to witness the joyful wedding ceremony of Emily and Alexandrio. Aurora was smiling ear to ear watching the ceremony for a moment she imagined herself and Liam taking the sacred wedding vows. Liam's eyes went to Aurora's happy face. Now, he was even more determined to propose to her today. The seductive wedding atmosphere was a plus point on his plan. Today, she would say yes to him. Susan's eyes drifted to Ralph for a nanosecond. He was looking at the bride and groom with an unreadable expression on his face. Susan looked away from him. He was no one in her life anymore. She was right when she told Emily that she was lost for a moment but she found herself again, this love and relationship was not for her. She was happy in her one-night stand lifestyle, there won't be heartbreaks or pain anymore. She reminded herself of the promise she mad

    Chapter 25When Emily danced with Dmitry her heart was beating so fast that she heard it would jump out of her body. He had this sardonic expression on his face that she was scared of being in his personal space. "I know you are not comfortable around me but there is no need to be scared of me, I will not harm you, Emily. You are part of my family now."Emily gulped the heaviness and nodded. "May I ask you something?" She couldn't help but ask.Dmitry nodded. "You may."Alexandrio asked me not to speak about it but I couldn't hide my curiosity about it anymore. "How did you end up with this mark on your face?"Dmitry chuckled when he recalled the incident. But he couldn't tell her the reality of the incident. Not until his brother shared the truth about their identities with his wife. So he told her the thing he told everyone who isn't aware of his real identity. "As I have already told you before, I was in the army, it happens during one of the training sessions. If this mark was th

    Chapter 26"My love, you are shining, is there something you wanted to tell me, Aurora?" Ethan asked his daughter who shook her head like a child. "Nothing, I am just happy for Emily. She got married to Alexandrio. Oh, dad, it was a dream come true for her. She looked so beautiful in her wedding dress, I can't express her happiness in words."Thin lines appeared around Ethan's eyes as he looked at his daughter. Her eyes were shining in happiness. "Are you sure, Love? Because as far as I can see, my little daughter is hiding something from me."Aurora closed her eyes in shyness. She couldn't hide anything from her father. He has the power to look into her soul. "Dad, I am going to say yes, this time."Ethan Kings forgot to breathe for a moment. He blinked twice before coming back to his senses. "Yes to Liam for the marriage?" He asked to confirm.Aurora nodded repeatedly, "yes dad. But it's not that easy, you know. First, he has to do something unique and special for me then only I wo

We won't let our dream die just because I am now married to The Belle's owner."Aurora laughed. "So you want to give competition to your own husband, couple goals, Em!" She whistled, making Emily burst out laughing. "You want to know something?" She asked Emily, who raised her brows in question, "what?""I threw a challenge at Liam that if I like the way he proposed to me I would say yes to him."Emily's eyes widened. "It means you are ready to marry him."Aurora nodded happily, her eyes went to Susan who looked away from them when their eyes met.

She went to the USA."Liam rolled his eyes in irritation. "Maybe she needed a little time away from all this to pull herself together. It's normal, Little one. Don't think too much about it."Aurora nodded and broke their hug. She peered into his eyes. "I can't leave her alone, Liam. I know she is hurt, I hurted her badly. She did wrong but what I did was not right either. How could I be so selfish, how did I not see it before? When I was coming back, memories of every moment we spent together flashed in front of my eyes and I felt guilty over my actions. She had no one except for me, Liam. I was her only family. I have to meet her, apologies to her…." Aurora was speaking everything so fast that Liam had to stop her from talking. "Calm down, Little one. If you want to meet her, we will go to the USA to

This was something she needed to do privately and Liam accepted her need of privacy. He kissed her head before letting her walk out of his cabin. She loved this about Liam. He understood the situation and never asked her to blindly follow his words. If it had been Gabriel instead of Liam he wouldn't even let her call Susan let alone give her privacy.Her grip on her phone tightened when Susan accepted the call. "Hello," she answered in a stiff tone.Aurora gulped before speaking, she could sense that it was not going to be easy to cajole her angry friend.

You have no idea what I did to make her mine, Ralph."He circled the mahogany desk and rested a hand on his chair. "The girl had become a nuisance in my life and not to mention that sick bastard Ethan. Everytime I met him, I wanted nothing more than to kill him. If it had not been about business and dad I would have shown him the consequences of messing with Liam Knight."Ralph shook his head. "When that bastard denied my marriage proposal and warned me to stay away from his brat I wanted to ruin him but stopped because of dad only but you know what?" He chuckled again and put the glass on the table with a thud and the sound made Aurora stiffened under the table."This is much better than I thought. When that brat did sweet talk with me, when she kiss me and not to mention when I fuck her, it felt as if I am eating a forbidd

    Epilogue"Don't you dare touch me, Liam Knight!" Aurora screamed in anger. Her nine-month pregnant belly made it hard for her to remain standing for a long time but she didn't want to sit, they were in the middle of the fight and she didn't want him to look intimidating. "Stop screaming will you!"She gasped at the loudness of his voice. Tears blurred her vision and she sat down on the bed clutching her belly. "I know you don't like me anymore, it's because I am fat and look like an elephant and you are bored with me. I know there is some other girl you are dating…""What the fuck are you talking about? What other girl!" Liam was stunned hearing her. He threw the chocolates on the bed and went to his wife. "Look at me, Little one," he whispered, sitting on his knees in front of his wife. Aurora shook her head and looked down, crying softly. "No, I know you will manipulate me into believing that there is no one else in your life except for me. I know my big hips and belly make me l

He muttered under his breath."Maybe you didn't understand the rules of my house, Liam. You will not insult my wife standing in my house," Ryan snapped at him in a sharp voice. Liam fisted his hand. "I can't believe you!" He said taking his coat off and hanging it on the coat stand in anger. "I don't know why I came here, damn Aurora and her infuriating habit of asking me to do things I do not want to do." Ryan sighed. He wanted to talk to him to tell him the truth about Penny and his relationship but couldn't find the strength to do so. But today he would tell him the truth. Ryan Knight was ready to face Liam's hatred towards him. "Where is she?" Liam asked."She went with Ralph somewhere."Liam gritted his jaw and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket to call Ralph.

Your son was a certified jerk, even now he sometimes behaves like one but now he is a completely different person from what he was a few months ago," she said, Penny searched her eyes to see if Aurora was doing what she used to do, hiding the truth of her husband. "You can share the truth of your relationship, Aurora. Don't be afraid of Liam.""Liam has ruined his image in everyone's eyes," she said, shaking her head. "When he was pretending his love, everyone believed him, and now that he loves me, everyone is doubting him. My poor husband!"Penny visibly relaxed when she noticed the sparkle of happiness in her eyes.

She understands that Susan was worried about her and had a right to do so considering her history with Liam. "Susie, my sweet sissy, I know you think that he is still acting and all but he is not, he loves me, Susan. He really does and most importantly, I am happy with him."Susan gritted her jaw, crossed her hands against her chest and looked away. "Yes, your love, I know what love does to people. It makes them do stupid things, broke their self-esteem and make them weak!" She snapped then turned her head back to Aurora. "My mom suffered a lot because of this so-called love, and now you are going on the same path!""It's nothing like Susan, Liam is nothing like your bastard father. He never use me for sex and he would never look in the direction of another woman. He is mad for me. He has changed a lot for me, in these past months…""What? He became your pr

It's been three months since she agreed to stay with Liam and since then, she was treated like a queen by him."Because we love each other, Susan and now, I am being treated as an equal.

We have given her painkillers for the swelling in her jaw will go slowly with the help of medicines and the bruises will fade away soon," the doctor informed Liam about Aurora's condition.

"I don't want or need your help. You have done it enough. Where is Aurora? I don't remember much but I was in the washroom and a woman…""You were drugged." She stiffened. "Aurora?" "She had been kidnapped but no worries now Liam had saved her…""Shut your mouth, is that also part of your Brother's plan? What does he want now? More money, business? He is disgusting," she shook her head. "You were aware of your brother's disgusting plan, right? How big of a scoundrel you are Ralph?

Ralph and Thomas joined him too. Dozens of their men were with them ready to die for the sake of their boss. He knew there were at least three dozen men protecting the mafia head. He was laying low for a reason. They didn't have any idea that all of them were going to die today. "No one will touch Juan," Thomas muttered. Liam didn't care, he could have the Mexican boss.He was here for the Masked man. He touched Liam's wife. He was going to die a brutal death by the hands of Liam Knight.

Aurora couldn't understand why she was feeling like this when she had not touched any alcohol let alone drink it.Her eyes widened in horror when the memory of someone clasping her mouth in the washroom hit her. She recalled how she fell into a pool of darkness.Her heart rate increased, horrified, she looked around and found herself in an abandoned place. Her hands were tied, she was seated on a chair and her legs were tied too. Aurora screamed tears pooling in her eyes. "Is someone here?" Her anxiety increased when she didn't get any answer. Aurora was shaking in fear. "Someone help me, please," she begged and tried to untie the rope she was tied with. Her hands started aching as the struggle wore her out. "Help!
