Chapter 36

Have you found the snitch yet or not?" Liam asked Alexandrios who pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Not yet, Liam, the situation is getting worse with every passing second. Ethan has called your father at least fifty times. Hell! He even threatened an open war with Vancouver's if his daughters didn't return to him safe and sound in forty-eight hours. Ryan is already on the cruise and I am losing my patience because he tried to threaten me."

Liam only smiled. He got what he wanted, Ethan Knight should suffer the consequences of declining his proposal after all, the respect Liam gave Ethan by sending his father, Ryan, The boss of Vancouver's to arrange a marriage but instead of accepting his proposal, his father was insulted by the Vixen. He would have started the war with them right then and there. An open declaration but his father declined doing so, and for what reason, their so-called friendship.

The friendship bond Ethan didn't think twice before warning to end it. That told Liam what he wanted to know. Ethan king gets weak when it comes to his daughter, Aurora who was not even mature enough to handle his business. Forcing her was out of the question at least for Ethan but no one said that Liam won't do that.

And then the opportunity was presented to him on the silver platter itself whenAurora applied for the contest organised by his jewellery brand. The Belle.

That's how his plan started, to make both father and daughter see the reason. Of course Liam was the man of vision and he won't let anyone or anything like in his way, to achieve the position in mafia no one has ever reached yet. The throne of the Canadian mafia. Liam wanted it. He would get it. How, Liam didn't care. And of course, Liam always gets more than he wanted and Aurora was not just a means to an end. The girl was pure intoxication and he wanted to own every piece of her.

Mind. Body. Soul.

Call it an obsession or anything, Liam knight craves Aurora kings but he craves the power more and more power he would get by controlling Ethan's territory. Which would be his, only after he marries Ethan's daughter.

And obviously, Liam didn't want to paint the city red with blood and a war would do that but that was not the only reason. There was one more, Liam genuinely respected Ethan and because of that only he would use the more lenient methods to make Ethan Kings see the rationale and not get blind by his daughter's love.

Oh and one more thing, It didn't matter if he respected Ethan, when the man itself disrespected him. Liam knight. So he needed to suffer the consequences, if not brutal one than the lenient one. But again, he didn't have to do anything because the girl always came to him, wrapped up in a bloody gift box which he needed to rip open.

They bumped into each other on the cruise that fateful night, she was drunk and horny. Fuck he could still feel her taste on his tongue. That intoxicated taste! Her taste!

"What do you think? Now Ethan would see the benefit of his daughter being married to me and agree to my offer, Alexandrios?" He asked, taking a sip from the hot steaming cup of Black coffee. He needed the caffeine. Urgently.

"Ask Ralph, he would be able to answer the question better after all he was in Dawson keeping an eye on Ethan and those Mexicans." Again the deep sigh before continuing.

"Liam, don't play with fire, he might look weak but we both know Ethan King was anything but that."

Liam only chuckled."I know, that's why I said,I wanted him to see the reason. His war with the Mexican cartel is taking over everything. He couldn't afford war with me as well and he also knows that if his daughter goes to their hands, they will ruin her even for herself. So in a way,I am saving him. His power. His territory and not to forget his daughter, Alexandrios."

Even the thought of Aurora at the mercy of Mexicans hand made Liam feel as if insects were crawling over his body. There was no limit to this obsession he had over his wife.

"I want to know, If Ethan would go beyond his daughter's tantrums. That boy, my wife is affectionate about, Ralph is going to end him."

Alexandrios chuckled. "Hm! So both father and son in law think the same way, I am impressed!" He jabbed.

Liam frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I have spies everywhere, Liam or have you forgotten who I am?"

Liam raised his brows. "Care to elaborate!'

" Well, your father in law ordered his man to end that Restaurant owner in the most brutal way possible. Street talk, Liam."

"You could have told me that before when I asked if Ethan would see the reason! Why didn't you?"

Alexandrios smirked on the other hand. "Was not in the mood to end the conversation with you soon, bud!"

Liam was irked. "Goodbye."

"Yes! But make sure you come back soon.."

"Tomorrow, send the chopper or boat or whatever you find fast, tomorrow. I want to be back on the cruise before the sun sets, Alexandrios." Liam said with a smirk as he took another sip of his coffee but then, suddenly, in a blink of an eye, something happened. Something unexpected.

Liam Knight didn't think that his wife would catch him in his Villa on his island, talking over the phone with headphones on with a steaming coffee mug in his hand.

The anger in her eyes, her flushed cheeks and seething mouth only told him one thing that his wife was furious about and he enjoyed it.

"You bastard!" She seethed and pushed Liam hard in the chest. "You lying, infuriating bastard, how could you. How could you?.." She screamed with her hands tightly fisted into balls at the side of her legs.

"Don't use that language with me…" Liam warned, his own anger spiking up. He warned her many times not to be disrespectful to him but the girl always avoided his orders as if they were not worthy enough.

It aggravated him. To the core.

Aurora couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Liam but what shocked her more was the place he was standing at. In a fucking Villa that too on this God-forsaken island where they have spent last four days like an early man.

She was wearing this same dress for the past four day and only she knew how she had been suffering from the unhygienic environment and here he was drinking coffee. She looked around, the Villa was fully furnished with every modern equipment present including a kitchen.

The bastard let her suffer even without a proper bath. Then something clicked in her mind. The soft bed! It was not a dream, he bought her here that day.

"Liam…" she shrieked and turned him around, questioned him but that man, instead of being ashamed, shocked, anything he grinned.

That infuriating bull grinned and when she cursed him, he ordered her not to be disrespectful towards him.

He ordered Aurora, as if he was some god! To hell with that infuriating, arrogant owl!!!

"You son of a bitch! Who do you think you are? Here I am suffering for the basic necessities and you are drinking this, this coffee?" She snapped at him.

"Down your voice, wife or you will be in severe trouble. I am barely controlling myself…"

As if it bothered Aurora. He was not the one who was controlling it was her.

She was controlling herself from killing that bastard with her bare hands.

And to infuriate her more he still had that proud look on his face and that angered her even more. Aurora was raging in fury and without thinking twice, raised her hand and slapped him hard. Right on the chick.

And then she smacked her hands on her face. Gasped in horror, when Liam raised his face. His eyes were hard. Red. Furious and throwing daggers at Aurora.

She just slapped the monster he was trying hard to cage and now it was free!

"You witch!" He gritted and sprinted to her, grabbed her by the neck, his hold on her throat choked her. Liam knight was raging in anger. He wanted to kill her for what she did. But couldn't, the girl was his obsession.

Still, she needed to suffer the aftermath of her action. Liam was blinded by fury, he enjoyed the tears in her eyes, he enjoyed the fear in them. He craved that fear and submission.

"How many times have I told you not to disrespect me?" He roared, plopping her back against the wall and jerking her body in his hold.

Aurora was shielding in fear. She was choking, trying to breathe, struggling to get out of his hold but instead of loosening it, he tightened it and white dots appeared in front of her eyes.

"Answer me? How many times have I warned you?" He shouted and Aurora gasped, her little fists beating his shoulder but no use. She was no match to his strength.

Aurora was close to losing consciousness! Blackness was about to engulf her but suddenly she was granted a deep intake of air as Liam left her throat.

"Arhz!" He roared in anger as he dropped his hand from her neck and turned around, kicking the mahogany table hard that it ripped upside down.

Aurora was heaving, trying to breathe. "How many times have I told you not to provoke me? How many times have I told you not to anger me but no. No. You have to do that," he yelled, punching the wall hard.

Aurora was dumbstruck, she kept staring at Liam with anxious eyes. At the moment, Aurora was scared. To the core. She closed her eyes when Liam once again kicked the table and this time the glass broke down and it's pieces scattered everywhere in the room. The sound brought her back to her senses.

Tears dropped out of her eyes, she was looking down and she gulped before asking the only question which she wanted to ask, needed to ask.

"Why? Why did you do that?"
