Chapter 33

Liam was rubbing his head which was throbbing non-stop because Aurora was chattering continuously the whole day long.

He looked at her agonizing eyes. "Don't you think you should stop talking for a while, give your mouth a little rest, it must be noted after all this hard work."

Aurora huffed. "Ya! I am tired too but what can I do, it's a three days itch that needs to be scratched. Just imagine, the Aurora Kings didn't talk for three days.

I mean really! I can live without food, water or even air."

She stopped for a second and laughed."I exaggerated a little, of course, I can't live without air. So what was I saying, yes,I can live without anything but not without talking to someone. I need to chat with someone, anyone and now that we are friends I think as friends we have this right on each other so I am gonna use mine on you. After all, I have no one else here." She looked around and shrugged her shoulders.

Liam was seriously considering his decision to officially marry Aurora after the torture he was going through from the past eight hours. On second thought, the girl could be useful outside the bedroom too. Hearing her, he knew that he would not need any new torture methods to try on his rivals. She could talk a man to death!

"So what was I saying, yes, tell me something about you. I have been talking since forever now. You know one thing really shocked me about you, the way your dad came to my house and asked me to meet you. I mean seriously, Liam. Why did you do that? Look at yourself, you are handsome, rich, any girl will fall in love with you. But of course, you need to change yourself a little. First the arrogant smug nature of yours. That's why I suggested Susan. You see she would shape you into a new one. A tolerable man. We are friends, we can chat anyhow we want but with a girl, you have to be classy…"

And she kept on talking. Non-stop. Liam was one second away from hitting his head on a tree hard to get rid of the throb in his head. He leaned back against the tree and closed his eyes to ease his head and probably she would stop talking just for that time.

Liam knight! She would not be as easy as you thought to deal with! But fuck! She was worth the risk! Her body was worth the risk.

"Liam, Why are you not talking?" Aurora's brows pulled together. She got near to his face and noticed that he was sleeping.

She raised her brows and curled her lips to one side. "hm! He looks cute while sleeping. I hope you look this cute when you are awake."

Aurora kept looking at his beautiful face with a deep gaze. "You know what Liam, you are really handsome and I somewhat hated you for your rudeness but now, you are tolerable enough. Maybe you didn't have friends who could make you lose to live happily and that's why you are always stiff and serious but no worries. Now that we have become friends I will teach you everything…" and she kept on talking, pitying Liam for not living a happy life.

And Liam, who pretended to sleep closing his eyes, was trying hard not to tie her mouth with a cloth so she would stop speaking. In the past six hours, he tried everything to scare her but she behaved as if Liam was kidding with her. She practically ordered Liam not to intimidate her because now she knew he was not bad.

Fuck as if badness would even describe, Liam knight. He was feared among his own people. Killing and torturing was his favourite pastime, his hobby was combat wrestling. Of course, that's why he started his own illegal combat wrestling site.

Unlike his father who usually earned from, drugs, prostitution, money laundering and illegal weapons.

Liam had other business ideas that went beyond the traditional mafia business. He started illegal combat fighting matches. Drugs and brothels were still the main business but his modern mafia adventures are proving great to increase his treasure with every passing day.

So, He was not just bad, he was brutal. Liam knight was the reincarnation of Lucifer. The God of hell! And this girl, his future wife, insulted him by calling Liam bad as if he was some notorious child. And not to forget that she still was blabbering when she thought he was sleeping.

I can say goodbye to peaceful nights in future or separate rooms would be a better option. Yes, that was better, anything was better than this verbal torture!

Aurora fell quiet after some time. Sadness again erupted in her heart. She missed her life. Glancing at the sky she gulped. It was this time around her dad called to ask if she was fine or not. Her dad protected her from everything, he treated her like a princess, she had everything one can ask for and now, everything has been ripped from her.

She sighed and closed her eyes, her thoughts lingered on how everyone would be coping without her. She just wished someone would find them soon...

Meanwhile, Ryan Knight stepped in his son's office on the cruise with two of his most trusted men following him.

"Ryan, what are you doing here?" Alexandros asked, standing up from the luxurious leather chair.

Ryan's lips curled into a smile, the smile which made the hair on Alexandros neck perked up. "Biyad! (Fuck) he cursed in Russian."

"Where is Liam? Boy?" Ryan asked casually.

Alexandros had no other option except for telling him the truth. "Missing! He is missing with Aurora since three days. I have sent search teams to look for them but they are still searching for them…"

Ryan nodded. "Hm! Ethan is getting perky, we can't risk him coming here to Vancouver. Liam's lusting over his daughter already soured our understanding with each other and now her missing with my son would only point more fingers at us. He might look like an emotional fool but he could be a brutal fucker. And I don't want additional baggage in my city, bloody Mexicans are already testing my patience level everyday."

Alexandros nodded, Ryan knight was a twisted man. Even at the age of fifty two he was still one of the most feared man in North America and he was wary of Ethan knight. That made Alexandros wonder to which limit Ethan could go for his daughter.

Fuck! Where are you, Liam?

At the same time, Ethan knight was sitting in an abandoned warehouse which was used by him for many years for always dealing with different purposes and today the purpose was to rip the Mexican captain who was sniffing in his city doing what spies are trained to do.

Ethan King was furious with an uncontrolled fury raging in his nerves. His daughter was missing and the person responsible for it was missing to. Juan,The Mexican cartel boss and Ethan's sworn enemy.

Even the thought of Aurora suffering at their hands awakened the sleeping beast I dide Ethan and he focused his dark eyes on his prisoner who now had a swollen face and black eyes and ripped lips. Blood covered his face.

Ethan raise his finger and his man stopped his torture for just a moment. Ethan leaned near his face and grabbed his bloody jaw in a painful grip.

"I will ask you this one last time, Where is Juan?" Ethan asked darkly but instead of answering the man laughed. "He will be back to out you in your grave!" Saying that he spit on Ethan's shoe.

Ethan king was enraged, fury ran through him and he picked the sharp knife from the table and pierced it directly into that man's eye. Again and again and again and again…

His painful cries was like music to Ethan's ears. The thought of his daughter being hurt recoiled his guts.

"He is dead boss!" Thomas, Ethan's right-hand man said making Ethan stop. He threw the knife aimlessly against the wall in anger.

His breathing shortened in anger as if he ran a marathon, he touched the wall with both his handsand looked down, eyes closed. He was feeling helpless. His daughter was in danger and he couldn't protect her…

Ethan king was, Ashamed. Angry and Helpless.

Thomas walked upto Ethan, rested his hand on Ethan's shoulder."we will find Aurora, Calm down."

"I can't calm down, Thomas. My princess is missing, I had no idea where she is, I called every source of mine but no information about her till now. She is naive and innocent in this power game. I can't see her getting hurt because of me," Ethan let out in pain and anger.

"That's why I told you to find someone who can take your legacy and protect your daughter. Liam Knight was the perfect option for that but you declined their offer because of who. A mere restaurant owner, Ethan. Now see what he happened. If only Aurora got engaged to Liam no one would have dared to touch her because no matter how strong the enemy is no one would like to have a two end war at his door step. We will find Aurora I have no doubt but I am telling you again, don't let Liam knight slip away from your hands."

Ethan turned, palmed his face and left a deep sigh. "Aurora loves Gabe, she would never accept to marry Liam. I can't force her Thomas. I won't force her to do something she didn't want to do."

Thomas let out a irritated scoff. "For fuck sake, Ethan. We can't allow that to happen. It doesn't matter that Aurora is innocent or naive. She will always be your daughter, she will always be the target of your enemies. We have protected her till now, but how long it will go like this. See what happens because of your lenient nature."

Thomas stopped for a second, gazed into Ethan's eyes before speaking again. "If you want I can handle him."

Ethan frowned. He searched his friend cum right-hand man's eyes to see kf he suggested the same thing he thought. "That restaurant owner! I can handle him. Aurora won't even comes to know about it and in sometime she would forget him." Thomas suggested struggling his light shoulder lightly.

Ethan turned around. Not meeting his friend's eyes anymore. He closed his eyes and his wife's face flashed in his memory. The same face as Aurora's. He recalled his promise to his deceased wife. The promise of protecting Aurora from everything.

Ethan needed to make the decision. He loved his daughter, everyone was aware of it, even his enemies and that was the reason that they dared to touch her. He also knew that Aurora won't ever forgive him for what he was about to do, but he was ready to accept her hatred if it saved her life.

Because nothing was important to Ethan King than his daughter. And after him,there was only one person who could protect Aurora. And that person was certainly not Gabriel James.

Ethan's eyes turned harsh. I am sorry Aurora, but this is for your own good darling. That restaurant owner is not the right man for you!

"What are you thinking Ethan. Just order me boss and I will handle that insect."

Ethan turned towards Thomas, peered into his eyes and gave him the order he was waiting for with a terse nod. "Make sure that his image tarnishes in Aurora's eyes. I want him dead, not only physically but in Aurora's memories as well…"

Thomas nodded with determined eyes. "It will be done, boss!"

And just like that the fate of Gabriel James was sealed by Ethan king, when it comes to his daughter nothing else matters to Ethan kings.
