Chapter 27Aurora hugged Emily tightly. "I will miss you, a lot, Em!" Emily kissed her friend. "I will miss you both too but I will be back in a month and then we are going to open our own brand. We won't let our dream die just because I am now married to The Belle's owner."Aurora laughed. "So you want to give competition to your own husband, couple goals, Em!" She whistled, making Emily burst out laughing. "You want to know something?" She asked Emily, who raised her brows in question, "what?""I threw a challenge at Liam that if I like the way he proposed to me I would say yes to him."Emily's eyes widened. "It means you are ready to marry him."Aurora nodded happily, her eyes went to Susan who looked away from them when their eyes met. While Aurora was chatting with Emily Susan was silently watching the two of them glowing in happiness. She was happy for them, genuinely happy but it hurted her when she thought about herself. Emily noticed her silence, Aurora did too but her p

Chapter 29Aurora's heartbeat quickened when she dialled Susan's number on her phone. Liam asked if she needed him to be with her but she denied. This was something she needed to do privately and Liam accepted her need of privacy. He kissed her head before letting her walk out of his cabin. She loved this about Liam. He understood the situation and never asked her to blindly follow his words. If it had been Gabriel instead of Liam he wouldn't even let her call Susan let alone give her privacy.Her grip on her phone tightened when Susan accepted the call. "Hello," she answered in a stiff tone.Aurora gulped before speaking, she could sense that it was not going to be easy to cajole her angry friend. "Hey Susie…"Susan who was busy in her designing research stopped everything when she saw Aurora's number flashing on her cell phone. Her heart flipped in happiness that her bestie was calling her but then her pride poked in. Everyone treated her like a stress ball. Whatever she did was f

Chapter 31Aurora screamed in anger and pain recalling everything she heard. She was hurt beyond words. Tears of anger and frustration ran through her eyes uncontrollably. She squeezed her eyes to stop the tears, she had wasted enough of that on a man who didn't deserve anything. She decided to go back to Churchill. Emily was married to a nice man. The contract she had signed could go to hell for all she cared now. Her father would pay the money to Liam. If he thinks of her as a spoiled brat she would be the one. She swallowed the lump in her throat and booked a chartered plane for herself. She needed her father, she needed Mrs Dolan with her. The heaviness in her heart was too much for her to bear. Aurora didn't care about anything anymore, she took the taxi, went home, packed her luggage and left for the airport. She didn't notice how long her cell phone was ringing but when her eyes went to her phone, it was ten missed calls from Emily. Aurora accepted the call this time, it

Chapter 33Aurora sniffed and glanced at the ICU but stiffened when she found Liam standing there. Her heart quickened seeing him. She wanted nothing else than to run into his arms, she wanted to be held by him but then she recalled his words. His love was a lie! And now, it didn't matter because he wanted her only for her father's wealth and now her father was in a situation where he could die or remain alive. She looked away from him, she had no strength left to face him right now. He was not on her priority list, her father was. Aurora wiped her tears, she told herself that these tears were not for him, they were for her father which was true. She was crying for her father's well being, not over a lying deceiving gold-digger. Thomas was right, her father needed her to be strong. She stood up and walked towards Thomas, not caring about her wobbling legs anymore. Sometimes, people just grow up in a moment. This was the moment for Aurora, till now, her father protected her from ever

Chapter 35" I am taking Aurora to Vancouver with me but Ralph is staying here to help you and control the streets," Liam said, while Aurora was sitting beside her father staring at him with tear-filled eyes. Thomas nodded. "Aurora is not fine, Liam. Try to divert her mind from Ethan's condition. I had seen her like this just once and that was when her mother died. She can't take this much stress."Liam glanced at Aurora. "She is my responsibility, now. Forget about her and focus on your streets. We are at war with Mexicans and The masked man. This Juan is working with the Masked man, it's bad. Very Bad!"Thomas' eyes changed the instant Liam took Juan's name. "I will kill that man." He looked at Liam. "As Ethan told you on multiple occasions, you take care of…"Liam knew what was to come in that sentence but now was not the time to think with emotions. He raised his hand to stop him from talking any further. "Aurora is now married to me, the deal I had with Ethan is almost complete
