Tears pricked in her eyes, she wanted to hug him just like she used to do when she was a child and someone or something hurt her but remembering Gabriel's words of her being Daddy's little girl stopped her from doing so. She fisted my hand to gain strength. "Yes, I am hurt but it's you who hurt me dad, not Gabe." She lashed out at him in anger recalling the words he said to Gabriel."I don't understand what you're saying, Aurora?" His brows pulled together. "I heard what you said to Gabe in the living room. You wanted to buy his love, you wanted him to leave me, dad!"He raised his brows in surprise. "Yes, and I was right to do so. You see you are my only daughter and I wanted to see how he would answer me. I have the right to check whether the man was good enough for my Princess or not."Aurora gulped in emotions. She wanted to hug him right but stopped herself, "And...and what have you decided?" She needed to know his thoughts."He seems nice and proud, I like him." Aurora coul
Ethan King was talking to his friend over the phone. "I cannot accept the alliance, Ryan. I can't see my daughter getting hurt. I don't care about anything except for her happiness." Ethan told Ryan who was pacing back and forth in his room."Ethan, think about it with a clear mind. You know Liam is the best choice for Aurora," Ryan tried to make him understand but Ethan was not listening to him. "I don't care,. We had this arrangement," he sighed trying to calm himself. Ryan fisted his hand, "let Liam handle, Aurora!""No! Don't even think about it, Ryan I chose your son for my daughter. I wanted her to marry Liam but Aurora loves someone else and she is happy with him. She got engaged today with him," Ethan warned Ryan."Ethan, my son, is not going to like this. You don't know the consequences of this…"That made Ethan lose his cool. "Ryan! Don't warn me about consequences because if anyone is going to suffer them is you. My daughter is happy with her fiance, I no longer want your
Ryan went to his son and rested a hand on his shoulder. "Listen to me son, don't start a war over a p**sy. That girl had nothing that others didn't. We can't afford a two edge war with Ethan and other mafia families. Think with a calm mind, you will be the next boss of this family and you can't think with anger all the time. So Calm down and for some time I want you to handle our legal side of the business. Forget about this girl."Liam met his brother's gaze who kept staring at him. "If you want to spill blood, Ray refuses to pay up again. In other words, he is asking for punishment. I was about to go myself but seeing you, I think you need action right now more than me."The side of Liam's lips twitched. He needed the violence to calm himself for now. He cocked his head to one side, chuckling slightly. "Where is he right now?" "In the Golf park, playing golf with his father."Liam threw his stress ball away, he got a new toy to release stress today. Checking his appearance in the
"We didn't get the loan, again," Susan informed both her friends. Her shoulders slumped in disappointment. Aurora sat on the chair in her living room while Susan sighed in dismay. "Maybe we are not made for this…" Emily murmured. Susan jerked her head towards her. "We are not losers, do you both understand me? We will strive in this business even if I have to…" she stopped herself from speaking further she didn't want to ask her father's help. "No, I won't join this team if you are going to ask for money from your father, Susan."Aurora was numb. Detached. She recalled how she told Gabriel two months ago that she will prove herself in the Jewellery business and now hearing Emily's words. She didn't know what to feel. She could ask her father and he would help her in an instant but she couldn't do that. First, Emily would never agree and second Gabriel, asked her to take a time of six months to prove herself without her father's help and if she didn't succeed then she would help h
Gabriel chuckled and led her to his apartment where he arranged a table for them. "Yes I can see that you have gained pounds in two months, look at other girls, Aurora they all are slim and beautiful and here you are gaining weight every day. You are lucky I am not like other men who want their girls to look like a model," Aurora looked at her figure in the mirror and felt ashamed of her body. He was right, I am good at nothing. Not a business and not in looks too. She swallowed a sob, "I will start dieting from today."Gabriel held her face in his hands. "Why? I love the way you are Aurora. I don't want you to change anything for me. I will always love you even if I have to live my whole life without getting any kind of physical satisfaction from you. I don't care about these physical things, what matters to me is your love."Aurora fidgeted her fingers, as she recalled the time when they tried to take their relationship to the next level and she told Gabriel that she didn't feel
Aurora Kings, we did it!" Aurora sat down on the bed, her sleep formally ruined with Emily screaming over the phone. "Emily Smith, have you looked at the time, it's 2 AM. What was so important that you couldn't wait till the morning? Or at least for a civilised hour, two in the morning!" She muttered in anger. It's been two weeks since Gabriel went back to his camp and since then she had done nothing except for sleep."To hell with your sleep Aurora, You will scream louder than me when I tell you what exactly happened," Aurora rolled her eyes, she was talking as if she got selected in the Miss Worlds beauty pageant."What happened Emily?" She asked."My dear Aurora kings, We got selected for the world’s biggest jewellery show. Oh My God, I can’t believe that we got such a big opportunity."Aurora frowned. "What! But how is that possible Em! We never participated in any show?""Well," she cleared her throat and took a dramatic pause before speaking again. "It was Susan and I who se
Aurora closed her eyes, trying to make a decision and the scene of Gabrial telling her about washing dishes in his restaurant appeared like a nightmare in her vision.She opened her eyes, determined. "I am ready Emily. Send me the contract and I will sign it.""Bravo! So I have already shown it to our lawyer, and Anderson is pretty much okay with it. No need to go through it again, just sign it and then we are off to Vancouver, baby.""Wow! Just thinking about winning the contest is like a dream to me…" She squealed over the phone. Even Aurora's tummy fluttered in excitement." oh and yes, I am standing outside the home, open the damn door, sweetheart."Aurora walked downstairs and opened the door. There stood one kf her best friend. She stepped in and Aurora hugged her tightly in excitement. "I can't believe it, Emily." she almost screamed in happiness."Wait till you win it, babe…" She nodded because Aurora couldn't find the words to explain her feelings. They both walked to the li
"Hello, Vancouver city…" Susan sang while stepping down the stairs. Emily and Aurora were behind Susan. The city greeted them with good weather and a lot of sunshine."I have planned the whole stay here. Hiking, boating, shopping…" Emily started but was immediately interrupted by their workaholic Susan. "Nope! We are here for work, not holidays, girl."Emily curled her lips to one side. "Will you stop telling me what to do and what not! God Susan, you behave like a mother hen." She said, throwing her hands in the air, clearly showing her irritation towards Susan.Aurora glanced at Emily and Susan, sighed and walked slowly away without any of them noticing her. Her father was shocked when she told him about the contest but he accepted her decision and only allowed her to leave If she let him take care of the arrangements in Vancouver. Aurora agreed immediately in happiness.The driver opened the door for her. She passed him a smile but before settling inside she looked at her friend
