Chapter 101

"Liam…" Aurora hugged him tightly. While Liam smiled, "Is this my lucky day or something, little one? You kept hugging me, today."

Aurora sniffed in his arms. "She left me. She went to the USA."

Liam rolled his eyes in irritation. "Maybe she needed a little time away from all this to pull herself together. It's normal, Little one. Don't think too much about it."

Aurora nodded and broke their hug. She peered into his eyes. "I can't leave her alone, Liam. I know she is hurt, I hurted her badly. She did wrong but what I did was not right either. How could I be so selfish, how did I not see it before? When I was coming back, memories of every moment we spent together flashed in front of my eyes and I felt guilty over my actions. She had no one except for me, Liam. I was her only family. I have to meet her, apologies to her…."

Aurora was speaking everything so fast that Liam had to stop her from talking. "Calm down, Little one. If you want to meet her, we will go to the USA together. But first, I have something to show you, come with me."

Aurora shook her head. She was not in the mood for anything other than sleep tonight. "No, please, Liam, I just want to have a quiet night tonight. Let's just go to bed."

Liam gritted his jaw. He had waited enough for the day, he didn't have any patience to dance on her fingers anymore. He forced himself to put a smile on his face and touched her cheek softly.

"We will go to bed little one, but not before I see the spark in your eyes back. I can't allow my wife to sleep with a sad face.

Aurora didn't want to hurt his feelings, so she did what he asked him to do.

" Do you trust me, Aurora?" He asked.

She smiled. "More than anything in this world. I trust you more than myself, Liam."

Her words made him inhale sharply. Once again his heart picked up speed and he felt an uneasiness in his body but Liam ignored it and put on a blindfold on her eyes.

" What are you doing Liam?"

"Wait for my surprise, Little one," he said while picking her in his arms. She gasped, the blindfold on her eyes making every moment jittery for her.

He took her to the terrace. Aurora gasped when a cold breeze touched her naked flesh of shoulders as she had removed her coat. "Liam…"

He put her on the floor and turned her around, hugged her from behind, went near her ear and whispered softly. "Aurora Kings, when my father showed me your pictures for the first time, I was awestruck and the feeling remained the same since then. When you said yes to me today, you made me the happiest man in the world, Little one."

Aurora had everything money could buy her, but today, What Liam was giving her with his words was the most expensive gift anyone had ever given to her. He smiled when he removed the blindfold from her eyes.

She opened her eyes softly and blinked thrice to clear her vision. "Look at the sky, Little one."

Aurora did and her eyes broadened when the sky was lit with firecrackers. There was a huge Marry me, written in the sky, Aurora gasped seeing the golden words written in the sky. She put her hands to her mouth in awe.

"Liam…" she turned around but he was not standing beside her.

She frowned but cried in happiness when heard his voice. "Say yes to me and put me out of this misery, Little one. Marry me."

Aurora couldn't stop her tears anymore. She was smiling and crying at the same time. She sat down on her knees and nodded. "Yes, Yes, Yes I'll marry you. I will marry you whenever you want, Liam."

Liam pulled her in his arms and kissed her shoulder. Aurora hugged him tightly, not wanting any difference between them. "Thank you, Little one. Thank you so much."

She sobbed in happiness. "You have no idea what you have given me tonight."

He said, creating a little distance between them he held her hand. "May I?" He asked before putting the ring on her engagement finger.

Aurora nodded. "Yes," she sniffed and smiled when he put his ring on her hand. "Now, you are officially mine."

She kissed him with all the love she felt for him, Liam allowed her to dominate his mouth tonight. When she broke the kiss, Aurora held his face in her hands. "And you are officially mine, Mr Knight."

His brows pulled together in a teasing manner. "Possessive, Mrs Knight?"

She grabbed his tie and pulled him closer, "very possessive, Mr Knight."

He chuckled and once again pulled her in his arms as they both watched the beautiful star-filled sky together.

Aurora touched her necklace.

I have finally found the man of my dreams, Mom. I am finally happy. I wish I could share this with you. I wish I could hug you tonight but I can share the happy news with Dad, Mom. You are not here but he is. He will be so happy to see me engaged, this time to the right man.

"Shall we go to bed for the quiet night you wanted to have, Little one?"

Aurora chuckled. "I don't want to have a quiet night anymore."

He turned his head to her side and raised his brows, "Are you suggesting something naughty, Mrs Knight?"

"Yes, Mrs Knight."

He needed not be told twice, he once again picked her in his arms but this time to take her to bed. Once in the room, he joined his lips to hers and

he sated his lustful desires with her body. Aurora melted in his arms like butter melted when it came near the fire.

Every time She joined her body to Liam was a new experience for her but this time it was far more meaningful than the previous times, might be because this time she was officially his and he, hers.

The next day, Aurora was still in bed when Liam kissed her naked shoulder to wake her up. "Good morning, Little one."

Aurora smiled. "Good morning, husband," she said. Liam chuckled hearing that from her. "Wake up, wife, we have a long day today."

Aurora sat up immediately. She has to call her father and Susan to share the good news with them. She was excited and nervous at the same time. When she came back from her train of thoughts she saw Liam all dressed up in a navy blue suit and white shirt.

"You are ready? Why didn't you wake me up?" She said running to the bathroom for a shower while Liam laughed watching her childlike fit.

Aurora kept staring at her engagement band. It was a beautiful, platinum band with a beautiful big oval-cut white diamond in the centre of it.

Nothing too flashy but surely eye-catching. It suits Aurora's personality. "If you don't like it we can change…"

"No, it's perfect." She said before he could even finish the sentence. She glanced at him, "Liam, I want to go to meet Dad and Susan, today."

Liam raised his head from his Ipad. He couldn't allow her to leave Vancouver. She was safe here but in Churchill, she was at serious risk. "Why don't we call your dad here? Let's meet him here and as far as your friend is concerned, I think you should start the conversation on the phone first. The way you broke up with her was very rude, Little one and I don't want you to get hurt."

"You are right, I really hurt her and that's why I wanted to surprise her and you said we can go to meet her. If you can't come it's okay, I will go there myself."

He forced a smile on his face. "You think I would let my newly engaged fiance go anywhere soon after our engagement then you are wrong, Aurora. You can go and meet her anytime but still, I think you should talk to her on the phone first."

Aurora sighed. Maybe he was right, she thought and nodded. "But I really want to see Dad and Mrs Dolan. I can take a public flight to meet dad…"

Liam nodded. "What about, we ask your father to meet us here. Dad was also talking about a meeting with him, I think he would be coming here anyhow."

Aurora twisted her lips to one side in a cute pout and nodded. "I didn't even called Dad yet."

"Let's do it together, once we are in office." Aurora rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Ethan King was losing his patience with every single second. His man informed him that they have seen Juan in Churchill a few days back.

A chill ran through his body in excitement hearing it. He was going to finish the man once and for all. He asked his man to search the streets and find out in which hole he was hiding.

Thomas entered Ethan's office, "Any information?"

Ethan demanded the second he saw Thomas. "There is, I have asked men to get ready for the operation…"

Ethan shook his head. "No, I will go for the hunt myself, Juan will die from my hands, not my men, Thomas."

Thomas sighed. "It can be risky, Ethan. We don't know what he is planning. It could be a trap for you. You have never done this, you never let your emotions rule your mind don't do it now."

Ethan shook his head and took a long breath. "Thomas it's about my daughter's safety and that man is a threat to it. I will rip him apart limbs by limbs with my hands. I will give him a death that other people will think million times before thinking about harming my daughter."

Thomas sighed. When it comes to Aurora, Ethan didn't care about anything. He had full faith in his friend's ability to kill that man but unlike Ethan he was a practical man. He knew that Juan was an equally powerful man and unlike his brother he was far more twisted and Dangerous. There was something about Juan which gives Thomas creepy chills.

"Where is he hiding?"

Thomas sighed. "Outside the city in one of the discarded warehouse near the bridge."

Ethan nodded. "What a coincidence, I killer his brother in the same place and now he was going to die there too." He chuckled, opening the drawer of his table and pulling out his gun.

Whenever he held the gun in his hand he remembered his wife's face. She was disappointed in him every time he used the gun but in the end when she was lying in the hospital bed she asked him to protect Aurora in every way possible. She touched his gun with shaking hands accepting the reality of their life when she was about to die.

Ethan King was never a good man but after that day he became even more vicious. One could not even imagine to which limit he could go to save his daughter.

Thomas was watching his friend go though the emotional turmoil in his memory lane, he recalled his God sister Savannah who asked him to take care of Ethan after her. He promised to be with Ethan in every thick and thin. He wanted to try one more time to stop Ethan from joining the operation but before he could speak his cell phone rang.

He smiled seeing Aurora's number on the screen. He accepted the call and heart the cheerful voice of Aurora. "Hey, uncle Thomas."

He chuckled. "Hello, my dear niece, what's about the chirpy mood."

Aurora smiled hearing Thomas. Liam was teasing her neck with his tongue and she was trying to get away from him while she talk to her father. He had witnessed their romance once and she was still embarrassed about it buy Liam being Liam was not letting her go away.

"I have a news to share with Dad can you give the phone to him"

Thomas eyed Ethan who was looking at him with raised brows. "Here, Aurora wants to share something with you."

Ethan nodded and took the phone from him. "Yes, Love."

Aurora's smile widened hearing her father's soft voice."Dad, I am officially engaged to Liam. I accepted his ring."

Ethan's heart flipper hearing it. There was something about the day. He was hearing good news since morning.

"Congratulations, Love. Congratulations to both you and Liam," he said and then spent the next thirty minutes hearing Aurora's excited voice.

His daughter was finally in right hands and now he could focus on his enemy.

Juan!
