Chapter 29Aurora's heartbeat quickened when she dialled Susan's number on her phone. Liam asked if she needed him to be with her but she denied. 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. "Hey Susie…"Susan who was busy in her designing research stopped everything when she saw Aurora's number flashing on her cell phone. Her heart flipped in happiness that her bestie was calling her but then her pride poked in. Everyone treated her like a stress ball. Whatever she did was f
Chapter 30"I am happy for you, Liam. You got her, Aurora Kings."Liam chuckled and took a sip of whiskey from his glass. "The spoiled brat is finally in my hold. 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
Chapter 31Aurora screamed in anger and pain recalling everything she heard. She was hurt beyond words. Tears of anger and frustration ran through her eyes uncontrollably. She squeezed her eyes to stop the tears, she had wasted enough of that on a man who didn't deserve anything. She decided to go back to Churchill. Emily was married to a nice man. The contract she had signed could go to hell for all she cared now. Her father would pay the money to Liam. If he thinks of her as a spoiled brat she would be the one. She swallowed the lump in her throat and booked a chartered plane for herself. She needed her father, she needed Mrs Dolan with her. The heaviness in her heart was too much for her to bear. Aurora didn't care about anything anymore, she took the taxi, went home, packed her luggage and left for the airport. She didn't notice how long her cell phone was ringing but when her eyes went to her phone, it was ten missed calls from Emily. Aurora accepted the call this time, it
Chapter 32Aurora was crying the whole flight. The moments she shared with Liam flashed through her memory lane increasing the heartache. She couldn't forget the words he said about her. The man she loved with all her heart was nothing but a lying bastard. He manipulated her to marry him and why, for money, her father's business. Aurora had no idea what she was going to tell her father. She knew he would be angry and will try to ruin Liam but her heart hammered over the thought of Liam getting hurt. Aurora wiped her tears and reminded herself that the lying bastard deserved that. She gulped the lump in her throat and fastened her seatbelt as the flight was about to land. She couldn't wait to go to her father and wrap herself in his strong arms. Her father would make the heartache go away. He would take away all her pain and suffering like he used to do when she was young. She stood up to leave, as the plane landed. When she was about to descend the stairs, she turned on her cell
Chapter 33Aurora sniffed and glanced at the ICU but stiffened when she found Liam standing there. Her heart quickened seeing him. She wanted nothing else than to run into his arms, she wanted to be held by him but then she recalled his words. His love was a lie! And now, it didn't matter because he wanted her only for her father's wealth and now her father was in a situation where he could die or remain alive. She looked away from him, she had no strength left to face him right now. He was not on her priority list, her father was. Aurora wiped her tears, she told herself that these tears were not for him, they were for her father which was true. She was crying for her father's well being, not over a lying deceiving gold-digger. Thomas was right, her father needed her to be strong. She stood up and walked towards Thomas, not caring about her wobbling legs anymore. Sometimes, people just grow up in a moment. This was the moment for Aurora, till now, her father protected her from ever
Chapter 34"Yes, Uncle. I want to marry him," Aurora told Thomas who did not react in any way except for staring at her for a long minute and then said: "Aurora, Honey, you can share anything with me, you know that, right?"Aurora swallowed and nodded. She understood what he was trying to say, "I know uncle but I want to give dad what he wanted to see for a long time. He wanted me to marry Liam and I want to fulfil his wish. I want to do everything he wanted me to do, Thomas…"Thomas hugged her. "Am I doing the right thing, Uncle?" He nodded, kissing her head. "You are, honey. You are doing the right thing for your dad, he will be so proud of you."Aurora sobbed. "He will be fine, he has to be a fine uncle. I will make everything right." Thomas nodded, not understanding her words. Only if he understood what she was going through, he wouldn't have agreed to the marriage. Aurora broke their hug and wiped her tears. "The lawyer is here, we will be having a small ceremony here, I want
Chapter 35" I am taking Aurora to Vancouver with me but Ralph is staying here to help you and control the streets," Liam said, while Aurora was sitting beside her father staring at him with tear-filled eyes. Thomas nodded. "Aurora is not fine, Liam. Try to divert her mind from Ethan's condition. I had seen her like this just once and that was when her mother died. She can't take this much stress."Liam glanced at Aurora. "She is my responsibility, now. Forget about her and focus on your streets. We are at war with Mexicans and The masked man. This Juan is working with the Masked man, it's bad. Very Bad!"Thomas' eyes changed the instant Liam took Juan's name. "I will kill that man." He looked at Liam. "As Ethan told you on multiple occasions, you take care of…"Liam knew what was to come in that sentence but now was not the time to think with emotions. He raised his hand to stop him from talking any further. "Aurora is now married to me, the deal I had with Ethan is almost complete
Chapter 36Finally, the time to lay claim on his beautiful bride has arrived and Liam couldn't wait anymore.With a proud smirk on his face he entered the room, not waiting for a second more he moved further and locked the door. He didn't need any disturbance tonight, he had waited enough for the day to be finally over so that he could own her in every way possible. The proud words she told him were still fresh in his memory. She spoke the big words but she was not aware to which level Liam could go for the things he wanted and he wanted her. She was the oasis in the desert that held the ability to quench his thirst for power but more than that he wanted to show her what she was in front of Liam Knight.Nothing! She was nothing but a trophy which came with the winning prize. She served no other purpose than a showpiece in his kingdom. She would be the perfect trophy wife with her perfect angel like body. Her designation depends on him because, in his world, he was the king and t
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
