Emily gave her an unimpressed look. "Girl! I like him, you know like really like him, and trust me on this nothing like that will happen because he doesn't seem like a man who will select you in return for a casual fuck. Girls die to be with him. So just finish this topic and wish me luck because I want this man." "Get lost!" Susan said and Aurora laughed when Emily poked her tongue out. "Best of luck, Em! Just go live your life."Emily rolled her eyes and gave us a middle finger. "Fuck you both!""Na! I prefer my own man. Now shoo away." Aurora laughed and suddenly felt a pinch in her heart remembering Gabriel. Emily went towards the judges while Aurora checked her phone not even a single message from Gabe. She knew he wouldn't call her for six weeks like last time but she just wanted to hear his voice to remind herself how much he loves her. Somehow she managed not to throw a fit of crying in suffocation. "I am hungry, let's go and check out the restaurant here." "Hm!" Auror
Liam kept staring at his hands with a fury that was raging in his mind right now. That girl was waking a side of him which he was scared would consume him if he didn't get her. She was like a drug that he wanted to take. He could do anything to have her, his mind and body craved her nearness. He inhaled sharply as her scent still lingered in the air. "You are driving me insane with that ripe body of yours. Little one," He whispered. Adrenaline shot through his veins, he wanted to calm himself or the right words should be, he needed to calm his mind or nothing would stop him from going to her and having his way with her. So he did what he did in these kinds of moments. He called one of his skunks and asked her to meet him in his room. He walked to his room and there stood his whore.Blonde hair, blue eyes and plump lips, Stella was her name. She was the complete replica of Aurora. He sat on the sofa and gestured to her with his finger. She walked with seductive steps and smiled get
Aurora blinked twice, all she could feel at that moment was horrible. She turned her head to Susam who had her hands crossed over her chest and looked away from Aurora. She rolled her shoulder to her cheek and cleared her throat. Aurora felt like a complete failure. How could I be such an idiot? Susan had no one except for me, we were together since kindergarten. Our mom's used to be friends and we were more than friends, we were sorority sisters to each other. After her mom died and her dad married six times she felt dejected with him. She called me her only family and I failed her. I failed my bestie. Aurora glanced at Emily who nodded at her in encouragement. With heavy feet, she walked up to Susan. She still didn't look her way. Aurora olled my lips inward and moved closer to her, so close that their shoulders touched. She stepped back and Aurora moved a step further again. Susan rolled her eyes. Aurora cleared her throat. "Alright, I am sorry, Susie…" she apologised using
Are you alive?" Susan whispered, shaking her elbow when Aurora didn't respond. She was frozen to the core. Her mind needed time to process this information. Goddamn it, I did it. We did it. We are selected in the second round!! OMFG! Aurora's eyes were fixed on her beautifully manicured nails, she would not be washing dirty dishes in the future. The thought made her squeal in happiness, she was astounded to the core. "We did it, girls…." Aurora screamed, swirling around in joy not caring that she was standing in a crowd of five hundred people there. "Well someone is happy here…" she heard Katie commenting on her victory dance and everyone laughed at Aurora's childish act. "Okay, stop it now!" Susan gritted out, stopping her from making a fool of herself in front of everyone anymore. Emily air-kissed Aurora and she returned the favour with a kiss of her own."Thanks, girl, now I will be going on that cruise with that hot piece of ass!" Susan rolled her eyes but Aurora ga
Are you ready girls…" Emily asked in her chirping morning voice. "Ya…" Aurora drawled, frowning at her attire. "What the hell are you wearing?" She asked, giving her an unimpressed look. She was wearing a gown, a godforsaken gown with a hat. And not just any gown she was dressed in the fashion of the 1920s. "We are going on a cruise, Aurora. And Mr hot billionaire will be there too and you know how I always wanted to recreate the Titanic signature scene. So I dressed accordingly," she joined her hands together, her face holding an overwhelming expression with her eyebrows raised and lips curved in a smile. Her eyes held a dreamy look. "Em! I think you really need a shrink," she couldn't believe she was behaving like this for a rich man! She rolled her eyes. "I don't need a shrink, I need that hot Russian." Aurora huffed, shaking her head knowing well that Emily was not going to stop her idiotic chatter and she need to get ready for the cruise. She could not afford to be lat
Aurora took in a sharp breath to calm her racing heart. "I can do it! No need to be scared," she reminded herself. "Now a minibus is waiting for you all outside the hotel to take you to the port. Don't forget to enjoy the trip," she said smiling. All five contestants with their team members ascended the minibus which took them to the Vancouver, BC port and they finally ascended the cruise ship. "This is perfect," Susan whispered to Aurora who nodded in agreement. "It's more than perfect Susan, it's breathtaking!" She mumbled. Although she had travelled through private planes and lived a luxurious life and seen every kind of luxury. This felt different because she was there on her own and not just spending her father's hard-earned money. It was not like there was any difference. Right? I mean my Dad's money is my money, isn't it? But still, this felt more fulfilling"Welcome ladies and gentlemen." Katie greeted them with her all-time smile pasted on her lips. Aurora looked at he
"Dear contestants, there is a slight change in our next round. After a little interaction between the judges, it is decided that your designs must be inspired by world art and culture."Aurora's eyes widened and her mouth hung open hearing Katie telling about the challenge for the next round."Design inspired by world art and culture!!" She looked at both her friends in anxiety and bit her lower lip from inside. I didn't even know the history of Canada, let alone the world. I mean obviously, I know about jewellery designing but I didn't study it. And right now the only thought that was running in her mind was, she should have taken a professional jewellery designing course for two years instead of going on vacation in Sweden for about eight months two years ago.But back then, that was her way of getting motivated and here she was standing with an open mouth and an idiotic expression over her face, thinking about the next round. Four hours that's all she had and In these four hours,
Aurora's heart thumped as the memory lane ended and she screamed in excitement while jumping up and down like a kangaroo. "OMG! OMG! OMG…" Susan'seyes broadened. "Oh God, Aurora, are you okay. Do I need to call a doctor? Please don't lose your mind…" She panicked seeing her friend behaving like this. Aurora cupped her cheek while laughing like a maniac. "Susie, Susie, Susie. I love you… now you see what I will do.."She looked at her as if Aurora had lost her mind. "Aurora, now you are scaring me.""Listen to me well, Susie. I have the solution to our problem."Susan stared at Aurora for a long minute. "What solution?" She asked, her expression told Aurora that she could not believe that she might have found a solution to this situation. She accepts that history, art and culture went above her head and she always cheated from her answer sheet during exams in college to get promoted in the next class. Still, was it too hard to believe that Aurora could have a solution? "Tell me w
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
Chapter 60"Liam," Ryan Knight nodded at his son who was standing at the main door. "Dad.""Is your wife home or has she run away again?" 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. He wanted to have this so-called talk with his mother to appease his wife or
Chapter 59"I am ashamed of my son, Aurora. I understand the pain you went through…" Aurora shook her head and patted Penny's hands in comfort. "You are taking it all wrong Penny. 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. "Thank you for clearing all my doubts dear, you don't know how guilty I have been feeling since last night. "Aurora smiled. "I know, initially when I found out about my pregnancy, I was sc
Chapter 58"I don't want to see that hypocrite with you anymore. I am sure he is still acting with you!"Aurora closed 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
Chapter 57Ralph looked at Susan who was glaring at his brother. Since she had started living in Vancouver, she had made her brother's life hell and she was alive for only two reasons. One was his dear wife and the other was Ralph himself. Liam knows that Ralph had feelings for her and her feelings for him. He even used this information to create a rift between his wife and Susan but their friendship was made in heaven. Nobody knows what they talked about with each other but everything was fine between them and Aurora refused to share anything with Liam.It irked Liam but he couldn't do anything about it. His love for his wife had changed him a lot. Ralph never believed in relationships, marriage or anything. He had a few dom-Sub relationships but even they stopped after Susan. She had done something no other girl could ever do to him. Ralph felt something he couldn't describe in words. He wanted to hold her the same way he held her before, this time permanently. He glanced at hi
Chapter 56"I still don't understand why you are in this marriage? If anyone had treated me like he treated you, I would have killed him in his sleep."Aurora begged for some patience from God. 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. He has changed a lot!" She said, finishing the design of her new design. Aurora had joined The Belle once again, Liam had promoted her as the head designer. It happened all of the sudden, she was shocked and not ready for such a big role in The Belle but Liam motivated her to take the job and here she was, her designs were taken positively by the customers. The fashion magazine had called them refreshing and this boosted her confidence more.Her personal life is going well too. Liam had opened up to her now, they don't discuss his business side of things but she was happy in her little world. She could feel hi
Chapter 55"She is fine, Mr Knight. She fainted due to pain and shock. 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. Liam nodded and finally agreed to the surgery of his hand. Ralph checked Susan's reports. She was fine and discharged from the hospital. "Let me help you."She raised her hand. "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? I doubt you got involved with me for this pur…" her eyes widened. "You
Chapter 54The helicopter landed a little far from the warehouse. Liam didn't wait for a single second and got out of that, two guns in his hands. His clothes hide different other weapons. 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. "Ralph take the back side, Thomas you can…""I am taking the front…"Liam gritted. He was fighting for control but today he just couldn't! He glared at Thomas. "That's my wife in there. I don't give a damn what you want Thomas. I am going to the front, if you want to join me then do as I say. You are taking t
Chapter 53Aurora flickered her eyes to clear her vision. There was a haziness in her mind. Her head was aching, which usually did after she got drunk. 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! Help!"She was crying while begging for help, suddenly, a hard slap struck her face. Aurora's cheek burned with the effec
