"What?" Liam asked his brother who was staring at him in astonishment." I am just thinking how could you accept such an offer? I mean do you even know how to date someone. You talk to people as if you are doing them a favour. Do you have any idea how to woo a girl, any girl, let alone Aurora King?"Liam sighed. "The girl is an emotional fool. She thinks with her heart not mind. But the main problem is the Restaurant owner…" Liam started and the tightness on his face and darkness in his eyes made Ralph's mind go haywire."What's with him, Ethan said he had handled him already. I don't think we should interfere in his territory more than we already did, at least not till you get married," Ralph suggested. Liam nodded. "Even after marrying Aurora, I won't break my words because my words hold value. But now, my main concern is about how to woo that unbearable shop of chattering."Ralph raised a brow with a smirk on his face. "Best of luck with that because I know it won't be easy for yo
Aurora patted Emily's hand and signed the contract without even thinking twice. "Congratulations, everyone and I wish you all the best for the last round," Alexandrio said in your business-like tone but only if anyone could see inside him. He was smiling ear to ear over getting the girl in his clutches who dared to give him a cold shoulder. On the other hand, Ethan took a long puff from his cigar. His eyes focussed on the sky staring at the stars. "She used to hate when you smoked."Ethan turned his head towards his long time friend Ryan. "Your son is worse than you." Ryan shrugged. "Blood's blood." He stepped closer and rested his hand on Ethan's shoulder. "Aurora will be safe, Liam will keep her safe, Ethan." Ethan dabbed his burning cigarette against the wall and turned towards Ryan. "He has to or you know me better than anyone else."Ryan's lips tugged upward. "No need to play the scare game with me. If you know how to kill, trust me my friend I am worse than you. you have se
"Hey, stranger." Aurora smiled hearing Susan's voice. She turned her head and looked at her friend. "Haya back!" Aurora replied. Susan nodded at the place beside her. "May I?" She asked for permission to sit beside her. "Since when did you start asking?" She rolled her eyes and patted on the seat. "Come!"Susan sank down on the chair and sighed. "Have you told Ethan about your win ?" "Not yet, I called but he was busy in a meeting. I told Thomas he congratulated me and told me that he will inform dad about it."Susan inclined her head and pointed a finger in the dark sky. "Look at those two bright stars. That's mom and Aunt Savi. See how happy they look."Aurora smiled. "Thanks for being with me, always Susie. Mom and Aunt are looking upon us from up there.""Is everything alright, Aurora?""It is. I mean everything is fine, and you know what? I am back. I will not think about anything else except for this fellowship now. It's a career-changing opportunity for me and I won't let
Aurora wanted to impress Kevin with her designing skills and she was trying her level best by pouring all her energy and knowledge into her designs.Kevin, who took Aurora for a brat, was impressed by her designs but he didn't want her to win when he knew there were far more talented candidates than her. According to him, Maya should have been the winner but the ship has already sailed now. Still, he was instilled by her fresh ideas and determination to learn. "It was a nice day, Aurora," Kevin told her after finishing the first design for their new collection. Aurora smiled. "Thank you, Mr Rawls and I hope you are happy with my work.""I am and you amazed me today." Aurora's smile widened. "But it's not me who you have to impress but the CEO of this jewellery house. In the end, he will decide to select or reject any design."Aurora nodded in understanding. "I will do my best to do it, Mr Rawls."" Call me Kevin, after all we will be working together and now that office time is ov
How was your day, Girls?" Susan asked both her friends while driving. "Mine was okay - okay because my head is a self-obsessed ass.""Ouch!" Aurora muttered under her breath and looked at Emily sympathetically. "Mine was good, at first Kevin Rawls gave me a cold shoulder but then he was impressed with my skills and you guys know what?"Susan smiled seeing her old, confident chirpy Aurora back. "What?" She and Emily asked at the same time and then both met their gases in the mirror, rolled their eyes at each other and turned their eyes back to Aurora."I saw his teeth!""Eww!" Emily gave her a disgusted look while Susan raised her brows. "Mind elaborating that a little because now my imagination is running wild."Yuck, Girl!" He shook her head disgustedly. What I am saying is that man knows how to laugh. He even cracked a joke with me."Susan nodded. "Cool, mine was good too. I hope the next two months pass like today without any issues." All three friends nodded at that and then th
Her breathing turned short and she tried to stop the masseuse but couldn't for two reasons. First, she was enjoying this far too much and second it didn't feel like a massage at all. It felt as if she was having sex with someone. What do you know about sex, don't forget you are frigid? But this feels exactly like Susan told.She flushed at the thought, how was it possible. The person was gay, that's why they came here then how come she felt like this.Aurora whimpered when his hands travelled to her feet and he rubbed lukewarm oil on her toe fingers."Oh, God!" She cried in pleasure and Liam was practically leaking in his undies. He needed to have her…"Fuck!" He whispered silently and continued his erotic massage. Once again his hands were on her thighs and she squirmed as her stomach tightened into knots and Liam's eyes widened when she started shaking.Fuck, she is having an orgasm! He was stunned at her response and started rubbing her thumbs inside her thighs a little fast to
You!!" She snapped fiercely. "What the hell are you doing here?" Liam casually leaned back in his chair, raised his eyes and pinned them on Aurora who was seething in anger. Aurora eyed that lying arrogant receiving bastard sitting leisurely on the chair as if she was not standing there. The bastard!She thought his chapter was over in her life but no, here he was sitting in front of her with that mocking smile and confident look on his face which created a riot in her body. "Answer me?" She yelled at him, slapping her hands against the hardwood of the mahogany desk. "Do I need to remind you about the consequences of using this tone with me, Mrs Knight?" He drawled in a dangerous silky voice and for a moment Aurora froze. The images of his brutality running in front of her eyes. She recalled how badly he treated her on that island and she curled her toes in fear. She gritted her teeth. "What are you doing here?" She forced herself to ask in a composed voice. "That's the right t
Once back in her cabin, she searched for her phone and cursed herself because she left her phone in his office. She couldn't face him again, not yet at least. She needed to discuss this with Susan. She couldn't share it with Emily, no she would be tense. She tried to calm herself, all those memories from the island came running back to her mind. She recalled his scary eyes when she found him in that villa, she recalled his words and how restlessly he behaved with her. Liam Knight was a nightmare in her life which was not ending, no matter how hard she tried. She was sitting in one of the chairs with her head buried in her hands. she jumped when a knock sounded but calmed when found a man standing at the doorstep with her handbag and drawing book in his hands. "Mr knight sent these for you, miss." She gulped hearing his name again. The man entered and placed her belongings on the desk and left without a word to her. With shaky hands, she opened her handbag and pulled out her phone
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
