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 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 21Liam Knight was furious. His hands twitched to torture, someone, her. His eyes turned dark but he somehow turned around to not let her see the reflection of his thoughts on his face."I want to know you before taking such a big step in my life. Please be patient with me."Liam squeezed his eyes shut. "Only thirty more days left, little one. I won't give you more than that, little one."Aurora shook her head. "Love and acceptance take time, but let's see if you can convince me to marry you in a month, Mr Knight," saying that she turned to leave but Liam grabbed her hand and yanked her back to him."I am sure you will be crying while accepting my proposal, Mrs Knight."Aurora raised her brows, "such confidence you have, Mr Knight!""Your husband is a very confident man."Aurora nodded with a chuckle. He had been calling himself her husband for a long time and she started to like it. That you are," she said in a teasing manner but then in a completely serious tone. "Don't tre

Chapter 23Aurora looked at herself in the mirror for the last time. She was wearing a white nightie with lace lingerie inside it. She was excited and nervous at the same time. "You can do it, Aurora," she said, taking a long breath to calm her racing heart. She twisted her lips inside in apprehension and walked out of the closet. Liam was taking a shower, so she decided to light the scented candles she ordered from the best candle store in Vancouver. The soft vanilla fragrance filled the air of the room. She did everything to make the night memorable for them. She never felt this sure in her life. Liam was smiling confidently ear to ear, tonight he would make her his. He had waited for a long time for this day. The things he did to make her, his, could not be defined in words. He recalled their journey, from the day his father showed him her photograph and her insulting words to him to this day when she was decorating the room to surprise him. He chuckled. "Oh Little one, this mo

Chapter 25When Emily danced with Dmitry her heart was beating so fast that she heard it would jump out of her body. He had this sardonic expression on his face that she was scared of being in his personal space. "I know you are not comfortable around me but there is no need to be scared of me, I will not harm you, Emily. You are part of my family now."Emily gulped the heaviness and nodded. "May I ask you something?" She couldn't help but ask.Dmitry nodded. "You may."Alexandrio asked me not to speak about it but I couldn't hide my curiosity about it anymore. "How did you end up with this mark on your face?"Dmitry chuckled when he recalled the incident. But he couldn't tell her the reality of the incident. Not until his brother shared the truth about their identities with his wife. So he told her the thing he told everyone who isn't aware of his real identity. "As I have already told you before, I was in the army, it happens during one of the training sessions. If this mark was th
