Chapter 43Aurora was crying during the shower, what she did last night was against the principles her mother taught her. Her eyes went to her shoulder in the mirror, he left a big hickey there. Aurora gulped down the tears and rubbed her body to clear his touch. Her heart aches because somewhere deep she still wanted him to be the old Liam again. She glanced at her face in the mirror. "I will not back down, not after last night. I will not back out from any challenge he threw at me now because I want him to suffer the same pain I went through." She towel-dried herself and walked out of the bathroom wearing the silk nightdress that reached her thighs. He craved my body, he can have it anytime he wants because now it's not him who was lying to achieve something, this time I was the one with a hidden motive.Liam was still in bed when Aurora stood in front of the mirror, she was blow-drying her hair and its sound woke him up. He blinked his eyes a few times and watched the blonde t
Chapter 44"This is your first meeting as the boss of the Vancouver crime family to the mafia commission, Liam. Show everyone on the table that you are better than every single one of them. The chair of head of the commission will be yours, it will add another feather in your crown apart from being the youngest mafia boss of all time."Liam nodded at his father and wore the ring that represents his designation now, the same rings his father used to wear as the boss. But now their designations have changed. "Thomas? Is he coming to the commission?" He didn't want Thomas to come but knew the man enough to make a wild guess about his thoughts, he would attend the meeting to show that the Churchill crime family was still stronger than the other families. Ryan shook his head. "That's your biggest test today, son. You have to show everyone on that table that you stand beside Thomas in his tough time. Thomas will not let anyone see Churchill as a weak counterpart. No, he will show streng
Chapter 45 He could see the look of shock on her face. She frowned. "Have you started to trust me now?" Liam once again caressed her lower lip before shaking his head. "Not really, Little one. But I want to see the depth of your love. Here is your phone, you can call your uncle and tell him everything or you can choose to stay with me, forever, Little one."Aurora stared at him for a long minute. She had her liberty in her hands. Her uncle would come and nothing would be able to stop him from taking her with him, her father would get fine soon. She glanced at the phone in her hand, she was about to curl her fingers around the phone but stopped when Liam's words hit her ears. "But remember Little one. If you chose to tell him about us then your father is in a very private hospital…"Aurora's heart stopped for a second. He was playing with her mind. She tried to look unaffected by the threat of his words and called her uncle's number. Their gazes were locked with each other. Liam'
Chapter 46Aurora was thankful to hear that her father's health was recovering.He is getting better day by day and she has full faith that he will wake up soon. She never appreciated how lucky her life was but now she felt gratitude for the life her father gave her. But now that she had suffered in the cage of this room. She knew that she was never going to take anything for granted. Aurora touched her necklace. "Mom, Dad will be fine soon and then I will be free from here. I wanted to tell uncle Thomas but…" before she could speak anymore, the door opened with a loud thump startling Aurora. Aurora stood up abruptly seeing his shredded blood-stained clothes. "Liam?" She ran to him, fear grabbed her heart tightly in its fist. "What has happened to you, Liam?" She asked, her eyes widened at his condition. Aurora held his hand and helped him to bed. "Liam…" tears strolled down her cheek as she eyed the depth of his injuries. "How did all this happen?" She asked, a sob left her throa
Chapter 47Thomas eyed his man's body which was butchered into tiny pieces. There was a note attached to it. "It will be you and your boss next. Ethan King will be butchered the same way." Thomas gritted in anger. "Juan!" He fist the paper and threw it away. "Try to control your anger, Thomas. We have to remain calm to think with a clear mind, it's not easy to kill Juan when he is hiding. Look at Ethan, he underestimated him and see what happened."Thomas nodded. He knew what Jeff was saying was true but he was losing calmness when all his efforts met with nothing but disappointments. "We have done enough but couldn't find him."Thomas fisted his hand. "Shut your mouth, Jeff, don't advise me. I want that man, find him."Jeff didn't speak any further and walked out of the room. Thomas punched the wall, "I will bury you alive, Juan. My boss burned your brother but you will not suffer the same fate, I will butcher you and feed you your organs."On the other hand, Liam Knight kicked J
Chapter 48Aurora was happy, she was genuinely happy today because her friend was coming there. She would have someone she could talk to. Liam agreed to let Susan stay with them. She just wanted her to come there as soon as possible."You are shining. So much happiness for your friend."She turned and found Liam standing behind her, all dressed up in a blue three-piece suit with a black tie. "I can't leave this place, all thanks to you. Susan will be a good distraction when I am all alone here living my boring life without anything else to do except for watching the television and reading books."Liam shrunk his eyes. "I gave you your phone back…""Yesterday, the day before it, I was doing nothing except for watching the walls in our bedroom Liam. I was happy when I didn't find any guard outside the door. I went out of this room, again I was happy but then Paulina told me that I was allowed to roam around the house all I want but I am not allowed to get out of the house. Allowed, L
Chapter 49Liam couldn't believe he agreed to it. Love really turned a man into a fool. Liam went to Aurora who was staring at her reflection in the mirror. "Feeling Happy now?" He asked. Aurora met his eyes in the mirror. "Why now? I know you don't trust me, so why the favor Liam? Because you don't want Susan to know the reality of our relationship. You are scared that she will tell this to Uncle Thomas, aren't you?"Liam clasped her waist and pulled her to him in anger. "I don't care, let alone scared about your uncle Thomas or your father, Little one. I agreed because of you. I didn't want to see tears in your eyes anymore. Do you understand me? I don't fear anyone, little one," he said and pushed her away from himself. Liam walked out of the room, he didn't want to hurt her. The next day Aurora was happy and anxious at the same time. She was going to see her father after such a long time. The thoughts about his health had made her insane in worry. "Are you ready?" Aurora asked
Chapter 50"I heard you just now, you were begging Ethan to save you and I want to know from what? What's going on here?" Aurora shook her head. "Nothing is going on here Susie…""Enough Aurora," She snapped. Then she took a deep breath to calm herself. "Look I am not trying to interfere in your life but I can see you are not happy and I want to help you."Aurora glanced at her father. "No one can help me, Susan. Not until dad gets well.""Are you kidding me? One phone call to Thomas and he…" she stopped and eyed her. "You are hiding something Liam did, right? You married him suddenly and now you are protecting him!" She stepped closer to Aurora and raised her chin. "Is he treating you well?" Aurora couldn't stop the sob she was trying to hold anymore. Her eyes swam with tears. Her eyes went to her father once again, she touched his hand and poured her heart to her friend. "He is my worst mistake, Susie. You told me that Gabriel is a narcissist who wanted to control me but Liam is
