Chapter 77

Aurora watched her move out of the room. She didn't know what to do so she remained standing there like a statue. His words were fixed in her mind.

My wife, Mrs Aurora Liam Knight!

She gulped and forced herself to walk inside the closet. Aurora touched the dresses and as he said everything was up to her size. The dresses were from her favourite designer, the shoes were to her size and the style was just what she wore. The makeup products were from her favourite brand. Every single thing in the closet was customised to her liking.

A heavy lump formed in her throat. She swallowed it painfully and with shaking hands pulled out a casual pair of jeans and top. Once dressed she walked downstairs and tried to find Liam but he was nowhere to be found.

She thought she was alone in his big penthouse until she whiffed the smell of garlic and herbs. It was clear that there was a kitchen there and someone was cooking.

With heavy legs, she walked there and found an old lady cooking. She smiled when her eyes fell on Aurora.

"Welcome, madam. Hope you liked the breakfast of something that was not to your liking. Please share with me. I would be careful not to cook it in future."

"What's your name?" Aurora asked, her voice thick from the unshed tears.

"Oh, I apologise, madam, I am Paulina and I work as the housekeeper here."

Aurora nodded. "I am Aurora Kings."

"I know madam, Mr knight already told me about you. I hope you like the way your clothes were set. If you want to change something, do let me know about it."

If anything, Aurora felt even more guilty for accusing Liam. "No, everything is okay, can you tell me where Liam is?"

Paulina smiled. "Mr Knight left in a hurry but if you want anything please don't hesitate to ask."

She shook her head. "No, please carry on with your work, I am going to my home," saying that she walked out of the kitchen.

Paulina ran after her. "Madam please stop."

Aurora halted in her steps and waited for her to speak. She took a breath before speaking, "a driver is waiting for you to take you home or wherever you want to go."

Aurora nodded and left his house. The driver opened the door of a black Mercedes-Benz for her. Aurora watched the passing building through the window.

Last night started as a nightmare and ended up as the most beautiful dream she ever had but she ruined the morning with her stupidity. She needed to apologise to Liam as soon as possible. Aurora glanced at the time in her wristwatch. She was ready late for the office.

She was halfway through her home when she asked the driver to take her to the office. Liam should be there, She thought and her heart picked up the speed at the thought.

Even though everything was the same it still felt different. She went to her cabin and tried to work on the design but she couldn't concentrate on it. She needed to see Liam.

Aurora stood up and went to meet him in his cabin. She asked the floor receptionist to meet Liam but she pinched her lips in a thin line.

"I am sorry, Aurora but Mr Knight is busy."

Aurora fisted her hand and a memory of her apologising to Gabriel flashed in her mind. She recalled how he made her stand all day in his office presenting as if she didn't exist and Aurora refused to be treated in the same manner. She hated it and if this relationship had a single chance of working then Liam needed to understand it too.

She wouldn't walk on the same humiliating path again. She turned and walked towards Liam's office and without bothering with a knock she opened the door with a bang.

"I want to talk to...you," she whispered the last part in shock rather than anger when she saw seven pairs of eyes turned her way.

Aurora bit her lip in apprehension. "There is a meeting going on here!" She whispered, bewildered.

"Yes, that's why I said you can't meet him, Aurora." The receptionist said from behind startling her.

"I guess I have to postpone the meeting for later as you all can see that my girlfriend is demanding my time now, if you don't mind gentleman can we meet again in an hour," Liam said standing up from the head of the chair and everyone in the meeting laughed.

Aurora scolded herself mentally over creating another blunder in a single day. She moved a little, giving the gentlemen space to move out of the cabin. When everyone left Aurora walked inside and stood there looking down, fidgeting her fingers.

She felt stupid for behaving like this. "I am sorry for spoiling your meeting. I didn't know about it until…"

"Until you banged out the door and demanded my time."

If only earth could swallow her! She nodded. "Yes."

Aurora inhaled sharply and gathered all her strength to walk to him. She gazed into his eyes and said: "Liam, I am sorry for accusing you. I was shocked to see feminine clothes in your closet."

His cheek rose. "I will forgive you but only on one condition, Aurora."

She gulped. "What?"

"Accept that you were jealous."

"I accept," she said without a single second's delay. Aurora sighed and touched his chest where his heart was. "I love you, Liam, I didn't know when I fell for you but today after looking at those clothes in your closet I know one thing that I won't be able to see you with another woman, ever. I felt suffocated when the thought of you doing the same things you did to me came to my mind."

Liam was stunned. Loyalty was never on the deal between Ethan and him. He made sure to Ethan that he would not be getting his di*k stuck with Aurora. She was soft and delicate and Liam knew she wouldn't be able to handle his kinky lifestyle but she was demanding his loyalty today and Liam was not sure if he could give it to her.
