Chapter 13Ralph Knight watched the man who was drinking beside her following Susan out. It was clear that she was not interested in him. Usually, Ralph didn't care about incidents like that, he believes that one should always be precautionary. He hated people who get wasted and lose their senses on alcohol knowing they wouldn't be able to handle themselves after liquor consumption disgusts him. But looking at Susan he knew he couldn't ignore it for two reasons, she worked in his legal company and second, she was the best friend of Aurora and if anything happens to her, Aurora would be devastated and its effect would be on Liam which they couldn't afford at this crucial moment when the commission meeting was just two months away.He wanted Liam to marry Ethan's daughter as soon as possible so he followed them outside and he was glad that he did that because the man was about to hit her. The alley was dark but it was not darker than his soul. Ralph Knight moved faster and held his han
Chapter 14Aurora kissed Liam on the nose to wake him in the morning. Liam grabbed her by the neck in a brutal grip, all his reflexes were in action when he felt a soft touch on his nose.Aurora gasped loudly, her eyes broadened at his violent action. "Liam!" She managed to call his name and his grip on her neck loosened."I am sorry," Liam whispered when he saw it was Aurora who touched him. He needed to get accustomed to this thing now that he was going to have her on his bed every night. "What was that? I thought you wanted to kill me." Liam closed his eyes and left a long breath. "I thought you were someone else," he rasped and glanced at her, "I didn't hurt you, did I?" He asked.Aurora smiled. "No!" She replied. Liam nodded and pulled her closer to him. "Good morning, Little one."Aurora relaxed in his arms. "Liam, I was thinking something since last night," she said, tilting her head kissing the crook of his neck. "What is it?" She turned around so that she could look into
Chapter 15 Susan watched him wearing his pants. She was still tied to the headboard. "Open my hands," she said, still stark naked. Ralph turned his head and arched a brow. "Say please, first." This was getting too far for her liking but knew he wouldn't open her hands till she pleaded with him. "Please, open my hands." Ralph nodded and opened her hands. Her skin was sensitive from the continuous turning and twisting of her body. She glanced at the mark on her wrist and a weird feeling erupted in her heart. "I want to leave." Ralph nodded. "I will ask my driver…" Susan snapped her head and looked at him. "I can go by myself, I don't need a babysitter." Ralph couldn't allow that, not until he got to know the reason for that Irish following her. If she gets into trouble it would affect his brother's conquest of Ethan's brat. "You will do as I say from now on because from today, I am keeping you." Susan stood up with lightning speed. "Keeping me? Am I a whore who needed to be kept
Chapter 16."What are you talking about? Liam asked his father."Ronan said he is searching for someone.""That doesn't mean he could send his canines in my territory," Liam pointed out. Ryan shook his head. "This is too messed up!"Ralph was quiet till now, Liam could see he was thinking about something. "What are you thinking about?" "If that's the only concern of the Irish Mafia then we don't have to worry much about them. Our main concern is still the masked man. We are losing too much in these fights. Any success with Alessio?" He asked Liam."None, he didn't want to get involved in our fights. He is neutral."Ralph leaned back in his chair, "Dmitry is our last hope but he won't help."Liam went silent for a moment, his fingers drumming the table. His mind is fighting to find a solution to the issue. "There has to be something…" suddenly, a thought came to his mind. He didn't want to do it, no but Liam was not the man who couldn't risk the people he loved for the sake of his dr
Chapter 17"And how did your meeting with the family go?" Susan asked Emily who sighed, "it went well. His brother was…"Susan waited for Emily to finish the sentence but she couldn't find the right words to describe him. "...different!" "Okay, I have heard many descriptions about people but never someone was tagged as 'different'," Susan said with the rise of her brows. "I can't describe him in any other way, first he lives in a place which is far away from the city. In the forest! There he had this big palace kind of home and not to mention the huge dogs which look like werewolves and not to mention the old housekeeper."Does he have horns on his head?" Emily didn't understand the reference, "what are you talking about?""You described his place as a beastly palace. So I was just confirming if he was the beast itself. The only thing missing in your description was horns and furs on his body."Emily left a tired breath. "I think he is a beast. We attended a funeral there and the w
Chapter 18"Liam, can I ask you something?" Aurora said when they both were settled in bed together, her head in his chest, she was drawing circles with her fingers on his heart. Liam was thinking about what Ryan told him when Aurora was talking to her father. His business was suffering because of the masked man. He had lost five consignments of drugs and weapons since last month. It was more about reputation than monetary loss. "Liam? Baby?" She kissed his chest and then moved to his neck, she bit his earlobe softly. Liam's chain of thoughts broke and he looked at Aurora, who was looking at him with her beautiful blue orbs, expectantly.He frowned. "You want something?" He asked and Aurora sighed. "Yes, I want to ask you….I want to talk to you about something.""Hmm."She hugged him even more tightly, wanting to be as closer as she could get at this moment. "I know how you must have been feeling all this time. I understand your pain." What is she talking about?"My pain?" He ques
Chapter 19Aurora had tears in their eyes when she saw Emily in a white wedding dress for the first time. "Oh Emily, this...you…" she couldn't finish the sentence. Her throat was thick with tears. Susan's eyes were perked with tears as well. Emily smiled with teary eyes seeing her two friends getting emotional. "You are making me emotional, girls. Now, tell me how I look? Is this perfect or should I try something else?"Susan cleared her throat while Aurora nodded. "I got emotional seeing you in a wedding dress but this is not the one for you. Try something else."Emily was on her tenth dress now and she couldn't find the perfect dress for herself yet. Now the excitement was turning into exhaustion. "How does it look?" Susan shook her head. "No, too loud for your figure." "Yes, you should wear something soft, like yourself and all these dresses." She shrugged her shoulders. The store attendant smiled. "If you don't mind I have something you might like," she said and three pairs of
Chapter 20"You are not serious about it, right?" Ralph asked his brother when he told him about his plan to catch the masked man.Liam arched a brow, "And why do you think that?"Ralph straightened in his chair, "He is your best friend, he stood by you in every thick and thin. Liam is getting married in five days. You have to be kidding me if you are thinking about Striking Alexandrio to hurt Dmitry. For God's sake, he asked you to be his best man two days ago."Liam sighed. "And I will be his best man. I care about him, Ralph. I do or why do you think I am not executing my plan yet. Let him enjoy a few days of happiness. My heart is not made of stone."Ralph couldn't digest it. His brother was talking as if it didn't matter to him if Alexandrio remained alive or not! "You know Liam, I never said this but you are as twisted as our father. Can't you see anything more than business? That man stood against his brother for you!"Liam put the whiskey glass on the table and raised a finge
