Chapter 1Aurora was sitting in the living room of her home, she had tried calling Gabriel ten times and his number was still switched off. "Where are you, Gabe?" She mumbled touching her phone to her head. Suddenly, the door opened with a bang and Emily entered. Aurora stood up and ran to her friend seeing her condition. She looked shaken to the core, even her complexion was white. She had seen her like this only once and that was four years ago when that bastard humiliated her in front of the whole college campus. "Em? Are you fine? What happened to you?" She asked, holding her hand, she looked as if she was about to faint. "Emily, What happened?" Aurora held her face in her hands. Emily's eyes met Aurora's and she hugged her guarding angel. She was the only one who came to help her that day and today also she was with her. Emily couldn't hold herself anymore and she left a loud painful screech in Aurora's arms. Aurora hugged her tightly, scared for her friend's wellbeing. "Em?
Chapter 2Aurora sighed, recalling the depressing memories of the past. But she had to share them with Alexandrio. He was hearing her with a serious face. He has a feeling that what would come next won't be easy to hear and he was right. "Nice dress, Emily," A girl from her class complimented her. "Thanks." She smiled, touching the rich fabric of the dress. It was Victor who bought it for her. She denied it many times but he didn't listen. They have been dating for about a month now and he was adamant to give her beautiful dresses and accessories. They had this massive fight one day when she told him not to buy dresses worth thousands of dollars and he told her that he wants to see her in beautiful clothes, he accepted that he loves her and if she feels the same way she wouldn't deny him anything. Emily couldn't say no to him anymore. In college, Katelyn always pointed out how she was wearing rich clothes now that she had started dating Victor. Even other girls started talking bad
Chapter 3 "Dad…" Aurora ran into Ethan's Arms smiling ear to ear. "I missed you so much, dad." Ethan King hugged his daughter with closed eyes. She was the only one who mattered to him. His Angel. His daughter. "How are you doing my love?" He asked, kissing her on the head. Aurora looked at her father, her old man. "I am doing perfectly fine, dad but you look stressed. What happened to you? Why the dark circles under your eyes dad?" She asked, raising her chin in the air. Ethan chuckled, "my love, you are my sunshine." "Come in now, we can't stand the whole day in the driveway," Ethan checked the house. Once they settled inside, she asked the question she was dying to ask. "Dad, have you tried to find out about Gabriel? I am worried about him." Ethan's body hardened, he fisted his hand, but kept his expression normal he spoke, "Aurora, we are meeting after a month and instead of spending time with the old man you are interested in his whereabouts, you hurt me too much." "It's
Chapter 4"Someone is blushing…" Aurora teased Emily when she smiled while reading something on her phone. "I am glad you are happy, Emily," Susan said. Emily nodded, "I know, thanks for always being with me, Susan."It was not like Susan didn't like Emily but yes, they both have different points of view regarding the boundaries of a friend and that's where contradiction starts. "At least one of you found true love," she mumbled."I am happy for her, it's time to celebrate…" Aurora said, wiggling her brows. Both Emily and Susan jerked their heads in her direction. "No Alcohol!" They said at the same time.Aurora rolled her eyes. "You guys are no fun anymore," she mumbled. Emily looked atphonephond when it buzzed. A call from Alexandrio, without waiting for a single second she stood up, went to her room and accepted the call.Aurora was smiling seeing her friend happy. "I am happy for her but what about you, Aurora?" Susan asked.Aurora inhaled sharply. "I am happy…""Stop pretendin
Chapter 5"Gabriel? What are you doing here?" She asked as the blood drained from her face?" "May I come inside your house?"Aurora stepped aside, allowing him to enter. Gabriel looked at her place, once Aurora closed the door, he turned towards Aurora. "How are you, Aurora?" He asked, taking a step further in her direction and placing both his hands to her face. "You don't know how I missed you, love."Aurora closed her eyes for a second to gain strength. She gulped and forced a smile on her face. "I am fine, Gabriel but there is something important I want to talk about."Gabriel nodded. "Anything you want, love. Anything you want but first let me feel your arms around me to feel alive again. I was in hell without you…"He tried to kiss Aurora but she turned her head and took a step back. Gabriel stiffened. "Aurora? What happened, love?" "If you missed me this much then why didn't you call me once, Gabriel. I tried to call you many times but your phone was always off."Gabriel fr
Chapter 6Aurora fell on her knees, she was shattered by Gabriel's words. She couldn't forget his face when he walked out of here. Aurora King has a heartbroken man's tears on her conscience and she couldn't forgive herself for making the mango through such pain.She pulled her legs to her chest, making her as small as she could at the moment, tears rolling down her cheek while she kept sobbing recalling Gabriel's painful expressions. His tears.He accused her of something for which she was not accepting her feelings for Liam. A cheater. Her soul knows that she was loyal to him all the while, she trapped her feelings for another man as long as she could. She didn't take off his ring, it was Susan who did that for her. Aurora Kings was devastated under the burden of Gabriel James' pain.Liam snapped the door open and stepped out of his car. He needed to see Aurora or he would burst open like a bomb. He ran to her house, the door of her house was open. He felt the line of his gun in his
Chapter 7.Liam was shocked hearing her words. Has the girl lost her mind? From where she looked like a frigid woman. He needed to know from where this stupid thought came to her mind. Before she could utter a single more bad word about her perfect body, Liam grabbed her hand and pulled her closer, "who told you that you are frigid."Aurora looked down from his eyes, she would rather die than tell him how she felt when Gabriel touched her. She had been humiliated enough for a day. "Answer me, little one!" Aurora snapped her eyes back to him and swallowed the painful lump in her throat. "Nobody told me, it's what I feel, Liam. I never felt anything when…" she couldn't take Gabriel's name in front of Liam. His eyes bored into hers, searching for something. Liam's eyes flashed in anger. He knew she was anything but frigid. He recalled how wild she went on the island when he touched her. The memory of her under him kept him awake most of the night. It was her body's reaction that mad
Chapter 8Liam slipped out of the bed when he noticed that Aurora had fallen asleep. He picked his cell phone and dialled Mike who answered the first ring. "Sir.""Have you caught the man or not?" He asked Mike who was silent for some time then answered. "I almost did sir but…"Liam's body stiffened. "But, what? Have you caught him or not?" "He is at the airport right now sir." Liam ended the call in anger and cursed. "Damn him to hell!" "Try to find out where he is going?"Liam ended the call and dialled Ethan who accepted his call on the sixth ring. "I hope there is good news, Liam."If anything Liam's mood soured even more hearing his authoritarian tone. The bastard couldn't even handle a cheap restaurant owner. "There is good news, your daughter's ex-fiance came to meet her."Ethan on the other end stood up from his chair with lightning speed. "That's impossible. I have handled him.""So what was he, a ghost? Goddamnit, Ethan, do you know what you have done? The man is alive…"
