Chapter 59

Liam took Aurora outside. She was angry but went with him without a word. She faced the same situation like this before but there was a vast difference between then and now, at that time she behaved like a fool, ready to do anything to please her love but now she won't and if Liam would treat her the same way Gabriel used to then she won't get into any relationship with him.

Yes, she couldn't be with Gabriel anymore and she won't be with Liam either. She chose herself over any relationship.

"If You want to come to the nightclubs to enjoy, we can come anytime you want. You want to dance, you can do that as well but you have to do that with me only. I am a territorial bastard Aurora and if you think that you can dance with a stranger that you are wrong. You are mine and if anyone even glances at my way I will kill that son of a bitch."

Aurora blinked twice. A red hot fury ran through her body. "Slow down, Liam. That's my life you are talking about and you are not my owner who can set rules for me and I have to follow them like a damn puppet. Sorry to burst your bubble but that's not going to happen. And just to remind you, you are no one in my life to tell me anything…"

Liam grabbed her jaw and met her gaze. "You will be my wife, Aurora."

She frowned. "No. I will not marry you, why should I? Just to be treated like a damn dog which you can kick when you feel like. Sorry, but I will not tolerate your narcissism anymore. I saw you here and came to say hello and how you treated me in front of your friends as if I was a child."

She gulped and looked away. "You claim that you will marry me, so please just tell me, is this how you will treat your wife in front of four friends, by disrespecting her, scolding her. Then I pray you never marry because any girl who marries you will suffer in the worst way possible," she said and pushed him a little, Liam left her face.

Aurora was about to walk past him but Liam didn't let her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him once again, pushing her against the wall. He blocked her way from both sides by putting his hands on the wall.

"I will not marry anyone else except for you, Aurora. Why are you angry, because I scolded you in front of those people? They were not my friends, the man with whom I was sitting was someone I didn't want you to meet. I told you before and I am telling you again, I am possessive with you. I can't tolerate when someone looks at something that belongs to me and as far as the topic of treating you as my wife is concerned," he levelled his gaze at her, 'Marry me to find out how I will treat you after marriage and I guarantee you, you will love it, Aurora."

Aurora didn't say anything for a while, just kept starting in his black orbs. Their eyes hold many unspoken emotions between them.

Liam's gaze travelled on her face while hers was still fixed on her eyes. He could feel a change in her breathing, she was getting affected by him. He touched her feather-soft lips with his thumb, Aurora for a second stopped breathing and when Liam started stroking her lip she drew in a sharp breath closing her eyes. "Stop fighting yourself, Babygirl. I want you to be happy but I want that only with me."

Aurora opened her eyes, Liam's smooth voice made her stomach flutter in excitement. "You are mine, Aurora and I want to kill everyone who even thinks about you, let alone look at you."

"Your analogies are too violent for my taste, Liam, I prefer a gentleman and you talk like some gangster from some mafia movie," she whispered with a giggle.

Liam chuckled, "maybe I am a big bad mafia don, this is Vancouver anything can happen here, baby girl."

Aurora let out a laugh hearing him. "Yes and I am the girl who is running away from you," She joked and bit her lower lip, her breathing turned shaky and she looked down in shyness.

"There is a slight difference here, unlike those movies, I won't allow you to run. Your place is here in Vancouver city, beside me. As my legally wedded wife," Liam said, making Aurora smile.

Liam could sense the change in her behaviour today. There was something different in the way she was talking to him, the way her eyes sparkled when she looked at him.

"Liam, I want to ask you something," her smile turned small, a nervous expression replaced her shyness.

Liam searched her eyes, trying to figure what she could ask. He nodded. "You can ask for anything, baby girl."

Aurora gulped. "I want to go back to Churchill for two days…" she said and Liam's whole body went on high alert.

Aurora gasped when a cold look appeared on Liam's face. His eyes which were soft till now turned stoic.

"You will not, I won't allow you to go anywhere," he snapped.

As if he had slapped her. "Too bad, I am not asking for your permission, Liam. I want to meet my dad and I am going to Churchill first thing tomorrow."

Liam shook his head. He couldn't allow her to leave Vancouver. The Mexicans are behind her, they want to hurt her. She was angry he could see but her life was most important for life after all it was she who could give her everything he dreamed of.

The throne of the Canadian Mafia.

"You are not going anywhere, do you understand me? If you want to meet Ethan, call him here but I won't allow you to go to Churchill. You have signed a contract, A legal Contract with The Bell stating that you will not be able to leave Vancouver for two months," he reminded her.

Aurora opened her mouth to speak but closed it and then opened it again. "That's why I am asking you, Liam. I will be back in a day, you are the boss of The Belle, surely you can make this small concession for me to leave for a day or two."

Liam shook his head. "No, it will send the wrong message to my other employees. And you are not my girlfriend nor my wife to demand anything from me yet."

"I am your friend."

"Touche, I don't want your friendship, Aurora. I want you."

"That's why I am going to meet Ga..."

His eyes flashed. "Don't you dare speak that name in front of me! You are not going to Churchill till the end of your contract Aurora and that's final. Now come, I will drop you at your house."

"No need, I came with my girls and I will leave with them only." Saying that Aurora walked inside the club one more time.

Susan, who was listening to their talk, ran inside when She saw Aurora leaving from there. After listening to Liam she understood that she was right. Liam was the perfect man for Aurora, he would be able to take care of her. There was only one problem, Aurora won't accept his proposal till she returns Gabriel his ring and now she has to do something to make Aurora meet Gabriel and there was one way she could do that. She had to talk to Liam and ask for his permission even if she had to tell him the reason behind that meeting and she would do that tomorrow, first thing in the office.

Emily pursued her lips when Alexandrio came to her. "I am invited to an art exhibition tomorrow, I want you to accompany me for that."

"Look, I told you I am not interested in you anymore, why can't this get through this thick skull of yours. Just leave me alone, please. "

Alexandrio shook his head. "Maybe you forgot…"

Emily had enough. "What are you trying to achieve Alexandrio, even if you get my time because of this blackmailing, do you think I would be happy with you. You are forcing yourself on me. You know what just tell me what you want, do you want to sleep with me, that's what all it's about. Alright, let's do it, I will sleep with you, do whatever you want to do with me but after that, you won't harass me like this anymore."

Alexandria's eyes turned red. He grabbed her jaw in a painfully tight grip. "If that's what I wanted I would have done that long back when you were drunk and trying to rip my clothes off my body. You got naked that night on the cruise, it was me who didn't sleep with you even when you were begging me so don't you dare suggest something like this to me again!" He gritted out in a voice that made her shiver in fear.

Emily didn't even blink. She thought they had done the deed when she found them both naked that morning.

He didn't sleep with me.

She was just numb. She couldn't believe her ears. "Alexandrio?" She whispered but Victor's false promises his sweet talk flashed in her memory and she went quiet after that. What could she say, she was burned once and didn't want to suffer the same way again. She didn't have the power to go through the same humiliation again.

"I want you ready in the afternoon tomorrow." He ordered her in a strict tone which left any doubt for argument.

"I didn't have an off tomorrow, maybe you forgot but I have a job…"

"Yes, you have a job but you work for me, I am your boss and I can give you the day off if I want to," he reminded her and with one last glance he left from there.

Susan was driving them back home. When glanced at both of her friends. "What, cat got your tongue, now? You both are sitting as if you are mourning someone."

Emily gave her a look of disgust and looked out the window. Aurora sighed, "Liam denied giving me off. I can't go back to Churchill even for a single day till the contract is over. He said something about the legal foundations I have…"

"Hm! Maybe it's your sign that you don't have to care about Gabriel's feelings and move on."

Before Aurora could even reply Emily snapped at Susan. "And maybe it's time you stop being so noisy and drive us home silently."

Emily's outburst shocked Aurora. "Em? Is everything alright? You never talk like that, no matter what the situation is?"

She sighed, "maybe madam didn't find the man of her dreams."

And that was the last thing she wanted to hear. "At least I don't go anywhere where I am not needed. Stop interfering in my life, Susan and mind on your own instead of meddling in others."

Susan gritted her teeth and drove the car at a record speed. Aurora was stunned by their fight but she didn't say anything as they were driving and from experience, she knew that things could get out of hand, she still recalls that one incident when she banged the car. She decided to talk with both her friends after they reached home. They reached their home, Emily opened the door and walked inside the home.

"Stop right there, Emily Smith and tell me what was that all about? I have been noticing this for the last two days. You are distressed and I want to know the reason behind it right now, Em," Aurora demanded.

Emily shook her head. "It's nothing… I am tense because of my work Aurora. Nothing else."

Susan raised her brows but kept quiet. "Good night, girls." Saying that she went to her room leaving both Emily and Aurora with each other. She needed to have a conversation with Emily about her taunts.

"I have seen you both fight with each other but never like this Em. Please don't let your work destroy your relationships," Aurora told her, patting her hand and leaving for her room.

Emily was standing alone, she shook her head, "only if you know what she did, Aurora. Only if you know…"
