Liam put his finger on her lips. "Sh! We will do every fun activity you want but first I am hungry and I know how big of a foodie you are, so let's go for lunch.""How do you know that?" She asked, completely forgetting that she was sitting in his lap. "You are not that difficult to read, Mrs Knight but you should be a little private about your life and the things you do. A lot of people can take disadvantage of your hobbies."Aurora nodded. "I do what makes me happy, people can go to hell for all I care and who says that I will be going anywhere with you?" Liam chuckled. "I did and even though I am feeling happy with you sitting in my lap but I have a reservation for us and I want to take you there just to show how much I value your friendship."Aurora's heart gave a leap. She was genuinely hurt by the way he treated her. The words he said to her on their last day on that island...she feared him then. But now was not the time to back down from her plan. No, on the contrary, she wa

Emily was working on the sharpness of the metal when the intercom on her table started ringing and she accepted the call but then wished she had not. "Miss Emily, Mr Kyshchove, is asking for your presence in his cabin."Emily sighed before standing up from her chair and walking to Alexandrios office. She knocked on it and entered. "You called for me, Mr Kyschove?" She asked in a professional crisp tone. He tilted his head, "Yes, you see Miss Smith, please have a seat." Emily nodded and sat on one of the chairs in front of him. "Yes."Alexandrios handed her the file, "why did you order the oval-shaped diamonds when the head designer asked them in round shape?" He asked her in a curt business-like tone. Emily was stunned for a moment but she reminded herself that it was good for both of them. "Well I checked the designs and discussed it with the head of my department and he also thinks that it will look much better with an oval shape. Also, I asked Aurora before doing that."He ra

Aurora closed her eyes like a cat got caught while stealing milk. She cleared her throat, "leave it, you tell me why you sound like an ill goat?""Well I submitted the research design report and now the manager of my team called and told me that the boss didn't like it and I need to submit the report again! And that man didn't even tell me what he didn't like in it." Aurora stepped out of the elevator when it pinged. She glanced at the reception area where Liam's secretary usually sits but there was no one. She shrugged her shoulders and entered his office without knocking. Liam jerked his head towards the door of his cabin. He frowned when he noticed that she was not even looking at him but busy talking to someone over the phone. Once again he felt insulted by her, instead of treating him as the most important person in her life she was not even paying attention to him. He stood up from his chair and walked around the table standing behind her. "Listen Aurora, I don't know if I w

Liam gestured to the man with his eyes who didn't think twice before accepting his card. "Don't think about it," he said in an authorised tone.Aurora pinched her lips, not liking his tone but knowing that she can't do anything about it. She took the bags from the man and gasped.They were too many for her to hold and especially when she had to shop so much more yet. "Liam, can you help me?" She said, showing him the cartons of the candy bags. Liam was astounded. Horrified. Bewildered! Imagine the future boss of the Vancouver crime family holding candy cartons while his future wife shops! With a tight lip, he smiled and accepted the bags and followed Aurora like a porter. Marrying her with a gun pointed on her head would have been far easier than this torture he was going through and right now he wanted nothing else than do that.Aurora jovially went to a gift shop. She searched for something cute to Emily's liking. Then her eyes went to a big teddy bear. "Perfect," Aurora said, f

Once again, Liam shocked both the friends when he suggested that Aurora should wear something dark on her lips while she chose a light shaded lipstick. And once again, the memory of her wearing a dark shade with Gabriel's disapproving gaze hit her. She recalled how he told her that she looked like the woman of the world in this shade and here Liam was asking her to try a bright red lipstick.Liam kept watching her while she applied the lipstick on her lips. Bright red. The colour of blood, the colour which Liam liked the most. Aurora gulped, she glanced at Susan who nodded in agreement as well. "You look confident in this shade, Aurora," Susan commented while Liam swallowed the heaviness in his throat. The look she had in this bright red lipstick could make any man fall on his knees in raw need. Aurora was happy. She felt like herself with Liam and why not. She didn't have to behave in a certain way while she spent time with him. No restrictions on her clothes, makeup and most impo
