Liam sharpened his gaze as he saw the hesitation on her face. "Or have you given up on your idea of marriage with that man?" He asked.Aurora came back from her thoughts. "I will marry the man who will love me unconditionally like my dad loved my mother…"Liam nodded. No words needed to speak any further. He knew how that so-called love which took everything from Ethan. His wife died because of this Love. "Now back to work, Mrs Knight!" He said, nodding in the direction of the drawing book.She accepted the status quo and wrote down his opinion for Kevin. "The second one is fine," Liam said after studying it. Aurora smiled. "Thanks," saying that she collected her drawing book and took his leave. She opened the door and walked out of it with a high smile on her face. Why am I smiling? Because that jerk wants to be my friend now? No, no. It's because now he would be getting the taste of his own medicine. Meanwhile, Liam received yet another call from his brother Ralph and once aga
Emily stared at Alexandrios confident mocking face with an open mouth. "Close your mouth, you are giving me flashbacks of our steamy hot night on that cruise." Emily snapped her mouth shut and walked inside. "You were supposed to return back to Russia after that contest, what are you still doing here?" Alexandrios smirked, relaxing back I'm his chair. "A little change in plan, moya malen'kaya Zvezda (my little star). Emily gritted her teeth in anger. "I am not your little star, stop calling me that!" "If you want that, I would stop but you have to tell me the reason why you stopped seeing me? Why the sudden change Zvezda" Emily fisted her hand. "Because fun time is over! You were not serious about me and neither was I. So why are you so irked about it? Move on, Alexandrios." Alexandrios stood up from the chair and darted towards her in five long steps, grasped her by the waist and jerked her towards him. Emily gasped at the sudden movement, "not for me, na!" He said, shaking his
Alexandrios waited calmly for his brother to speak but he didn't. He checked his cell phone to see whether the call was still going or not. He was about to speak but Dmitri beat him and said: "I might know something but it was not like I am going to share. There are some rules in the mafia Alex and I would rather not break them till they don't harm me. So don't expect any help from me in this matter and remember you might live in Canada but you are still bound to your Pakhan."Alexandrios understood the hidden message behind Dimtri's statement very well. "I am bound to you as my brother and not Pakhan, Dimitri, and just to remind you I am loyal to you," saying that he said goodbye to his brother and ended the call. Meanwhile, Aurora kept smiling to herself when they were driving back to their hotel. Emily was looking out of the window, lost in her own thoughts and Susan was irritated with both of them because instead of chatting like their usual self they both were lost in their own
Aurora was dressed up in her favorite bubblegum pink short frock which ended up just above her knees, showing her perfect long legs. 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.." Sh
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 wa
Aurora blinked thrice, swallowing the emotional lump that formed in her throat. She didn't know how to react to this. Liam was drumming his fingers on his left thigh, a nerve in his temple started to tickle. He was trying badly not to show his lack of patience because he knew how girls like to create drama in everything so he just sat there trying to control his temper. Aurora's stomach churned as she recalled the moments she spent with Gabriel. She wanted to say no to Liam like she did once before but now she couldn't. There was something that stopped her from declining his proposal. Whatever it was but still she couldn't let what he did to her go easily. No, when she came back from the island she decided to forget Liam's chapter but now, she wanted nothing else than to smash his moon sized ego. And as far as his proposal was concerned, she decided that she wouldn't take any chances with her life again. No, she had done that once with Gabriel and Gabriel was still unaware of he
Emily was working on the sharpness of the metal when the intercom on her table started ringing and she accepted the call but then wished she had not. "Miss Emily, Mr Kyshchove, is asking for your presence in his cabin."Emily sighed before standing up from her chair and walking to Alexandrios office. She knocked on it and entered. "You called for me, Mr Kyschove?" She asked in a professional crisp tone. He tilted his head, "Yes, you see Miss Smith, please have a seat." Emily nodded and sat on one of the chairs in front of him. "Yes."Alexandrios handed her the file, "why did you order the oval-shaped diamonds when the head designer asked them in round shape?" He asked her in a curt business-like tone. Emily was stunned for a moment but she reminded herself that it was good for both of them. "Well I checked the designs and discussed it with the head of my department and he also thinks that it will look much better with an oval shape. Also, I asked Aurora before doing that."He ra
"Excuse me, are you blind?" Susan snapped at the man who was standing beside her in the elevator. Ralph turned his head a little and glanced at Susan, "what?" He asked."Are you blind that you can't see that you are about to step on my foot," she let out pointing at his shoe and her toe. He stepped aside and once again started reading the meeting details he set for Liam with Italians. Susan's phone rang at that time. It was Aurora who called. "Yes, honey?" "Are we going shopping? I want Em's birthday to be perfect," Aurora said, twirling a lock of hair on her finger."Yes we are going, I have ordered the cake for her, everything is done. So chill out." She told her as she stepped out of the elevator at the same time when Ralph was about to do it. He would have never used the staff elevator but his was under servicing. Susan was about to turn left at the same time Ralph was taking and they both bumped into each other again. "Are you blind?" She snarled when her cell phone fell ou
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
