"You have no idea how much I love you, my soul. You don't know the pain I went through in your absence.""As if I was in any better condition my darling. I missed the warmth of your arms every day. The memories of the time we spent together in each other's arms were the only thing which kept me alive in those long winter nights." Aurora looked at the person sitting beside her and stood up with lightning speed. Eww! I am not going to mimic their s*x scene with you, Em!"She scrunched her lips to one side and glanced at Aurora's body. "If only you had been a man. Lucky you, I am straight," Emily said, waving her hand evasively and switching the television off with the remote. "And who said I would have been interested in you if I were a man?" Aurora asked. Emily gave her an unimpressed look. "Fudge you!" Emily said as nowadays she was trying not to use curse words because when she went to meet her parents in the town her mother hated her colourful language. "Not interested!" Aurora
Aurora sat on the chair with a thump in anger. Her friends glanced her way, both stopped their chatting or whatever they were doing on their phones."What got into your pants? Why this red face? Did you just have a quickie into the corner with some hot man?" Emily asked, whistling.Aurora glared at her in anger. "No, A man just called me a fool."She gasped, her eyes as wide as saucers. "Wait what? Right! Did I hear you, right girl?" Emily mocked Aurora in her thick voice and then let out a sharp laugh that screeched her ears. "If you don't stop laughing I promise I will kill you with this...this," Aurora tried searching for something to scare her off and found nothing but a plastic fork and knife. Aurora picked the knife in her hand and pointed it at Emily, "With this knife."Emily roared in laughter. "You… and kill someone, Aurora," she shook her head laughing. "Give me a break! You can't even kill a fly let alone me. So cut the crap and put this deadly weapon down." She mocked, r
"Our world is based on traditions which we can't break. The rules are still the same, Liam. If you want my chair then you have to get married." Liam Knight clenched and unclenched his hand on the paperweight trying to control the rage busting inside him while listening to his father, the current Don of Vancouver crime family. His hands itched, to kill someone, anyone, His anger was perking up with every word his father was saying. If it had been anyone else instead of him, Liam would have killed him by using the same paperweight he was clutching to calm his rage. But he reminded himself that the man was his boss and father. Liam knight might be a twisted man but even he had certain limits. He respected the man sitting in front of him, he was his father after all. It's just that he didn't like what his father was suggesting. "You will turn thirty this year. Time is slipping Liam. Find the girl or let me find one for you?" Liam eyed his father. "You found one for yourself, she en
Chapter 4.The next day when Aurora went to the restaurant but Gabriel was not available. She was disappointed and decided to go there the next day. Once again she was out of luck and couldn't meet him. It was the fifth day she met him or the right words would be bumped into him again. A small smile broke on her lips. She was happy to see him but he was not. She wanted to say so many things to him but he didn't let her speak."I am sorry, miss high and mighty and I apologise if I ruin your dress again," he said, taunting her.Aurora bit her lip from inside but she remained silent, letting him vent out his anger. "Please tell me how much I need to pay you for…" he kept saying but there was a limit to Aurora's tolerance."Enough! Okay, I get it I was wrong that day but that doesn't mean you will insult me whenever you see me," she snapped at him."Look..." "No, you look! I… I have been coming here for the past five days to apologise to you. I get it. I was rude that day but now you
Chapter 5.Only if words could define her but that would be an insult to her beauty. She was perfect. Her shining blonde hair, blue eyes, sharp chin and that small nose made her look like the angel from the heavens. Liam Knight didn't believe in Angels, heaven or hell. But seeing her, he could turn into a believer. The girl had everything Liam liked, curves, beautiful curves in all the right places. His hands twitched to touch that soft glossy skin. His throat swelled in need. It's not like he had not seen a beautiful woman, he had but on her, Liam felt the need to lay his claim on her.Maybe marriage with her will not be a bad option. Liam tilted his head, his current mistress was clinging to his hand. He went closer to her ear and whispered: "you see that girl, Grace?" Grace followed Liam's gaze and nodded. "Yes, sir.""Good, her name is Aurora, go and start a conversation with her, respectfully. Compliment her about her beauty or whatever you girls do and then call me to join
"Don't speak too loud, Susan. It freaking hurts!" Aurora whined, clutching her head to soothe the pain."Serve you right, who asked you to get drunk when you can't handle liquor."Aurora cried in pain. "It angered me when he denied for the third time."Susan sighed in irritation as well. "Yes, I know. I don't think he is going to agree to our offer anytime soon, Aurora. He has thought of himself as a God since he received that award," she said, handing Aurora a glass of orange juice and medicine to ease the pain."Let's go home, there is nothing left here anymore, Where is Emily?" Aurora asked, swallowing the pills in one go. Susan gestured to her room. "She blamed herself like always."Aurora twisted her lips to one side, pouting in regret over her one more failing attempt. "I won't break my promise to her, Susie. We will open our jewellery chain even if I have to…""Relax, don't get hyper over this. Let me see what I can do but please go and shower we are leaving for Churchill in t
Chapter 7."Wow, nice dress!" Susan whistled, checking Aurora from head to toe. Aurora met her eyes in the mirror. "You think so?" she asked."Yup. You look edible, cupcake. I wish I could turn into a man to have you myself." Aurora turned around. "Susan, are you into girls now? What! tired with the opposite sex. Find someone else because I still prefer boys."She rolled her eyes and stepped Aurora aside from the mirror and checked herself. "I still prefer boys but right now I am getting more with the dumb boys. I mean they are so normal, I want someone who can hold my interest."Aurora raised her brows. "Hold your interest. The man has not been born yet, you get tired with men in two days." Aurora told her, shaking her head. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Ya! I am choosy so what not everyone is like you who get serious about your first boyfriend. I mean seriously Aurora, you have not been with anyone before him and you are getting serious about that Gabe. He could have flaws. L
Chapter 8When Aurora reached him she was a mess. She didn't know what came over her to speak such harsh words to Gabriel. She wiped her tears and did her makeup to hide the tear stains from her cheek before entering her Father's home. One glance at her face and her father would go haywire to know the reason behind her tears. She wanted to tell him about her relationship but today was not just the right day. She wouldn't be able to handle the questions. She was emotionally drained. She wanted nothing else but to cry her heart out inside the security of her room where no one would disturb her.Aurora swallowed the heaviness and knocked on her father's office. "Enter."Aurora took one long breath and entered. "You called for me dad?" She said walking to his chair. "My love," he stood up, held her face in his hands affectionately. "Aurora, did you cry, love?" He inquired."No, why would I dad?" She answered immediately, not wanting him to catch her lie."I was awake the whole night, d
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
