Chapter 10.Aurora was going back to her cabin when her cell phone beeped with a notification. She was about to clean the notification bar thinking it was Susan once again but stopped when she glanced at the name of the sender, it was a message from Gabriel. The smile evaporated from her face recalling him but she couldn't do anything about it. Even if she had stayed with him, it would have been a form of cheating. She no longer had Gabriel in her heart, she wondered if she ever had. The attraction, possessiveness she felt for Liam she never felt for Gabriel. Aurora was astonished by her thoughts, shaking her head she opened the message box to read the text.It read: I apologize again for what I said, Aurora. I never meant to hurt you but it was hard for me to accept your decision. I loved you with every ounce in me but now that I looked at our time together, I realised that that was not the right way to treat you. In my fear of losing you, I tried to control you. I apologise for i
Chapter 11"Aurora?" Emily searched for her friend and just as Susan mentioned she was crying. "Why are you punishing yourself and Susan like this, baby girl?" Emily asked, hugging her close to herself. Aurora sobbed in her arms like a child. "Stop this torture and talk to her Aurora."Aurora shook her head in her arms. "No," she sniffed and broke the hug. "I have to be strict with her this time, Emily. I love her but she can't meddle in my business all the time."Emily nodded. "What did you talk to Gabriel about? Did you finally break up with him?" She asked.Aurora nodded. "Yes, it's officially over," She glanced at her friend. She wanted to share the happy news with Susan first, Aurora knew that it was going to hurt Susan. She also knew that Emily would share it with her, she was going to be their connection till Susan learned about her boundaries. Emily sighed. "Look, I understand your point of view but you have to agree it's because of Susan you came out of that unhappy relatio
Chapter 12."Sir, dinner is ready, Do you want me to serve it in the dining room?" Paulina asked over the intercom. Liam eyed Aurora's naked legs jiggling down the bed while she was talking to her friend. She looked a little tense and Liam wondered why?"Sir?" "Send it to my room, Paulina." He ordered and ended the call. Liam needed to talk to Ethan but considering everything, he had to wait for a little more time. Liam went to Aurora to know what was worrying her?"Why did you leave her alone, Em? Was she fine?" Aurora asked, worriedly. "Yes, she is absolutely fine. She told me she wanted to be alone for some time so I didn't push her to come to him with me. We both know her, Aurora. She would be taking out her frustration on a man somewhere. Calm down and focus on your man."Aurora sighed, "it's just…" she started but stopped when she sensed Liam's Presence behind her. "Keep me updated about her, please. I will see you in the office tomorrow," Aurora said and ended the call. "W
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
