You!!" She snapped fiercely. "What the hell are you doing here?"
Liam casually leaned back in his chair, raised his eyes and pinned them on Aurora who was seething in anger.
Aurora eyed that lying arrogant receiving bastard sitting leisurely on the chair as if she was not standing there. The bastard. She thought his chapter was over in her life but no, here he was sitting in front of her with that mocking smile and confident look on his face which created a riot in her body.
"Answer me?" She yelled at him slapping her hands against the hardwood of the mahogany desk.
"Do I need to remind you about the consequences of using this tone with me, Mrs Knight?" He drawled in a dangerous silky voice and for a moment Aurora froze. The images of his brutality running in front of her eyes. She recalled how badly he treated her on that island and she curled her toes in fear.
She gritted her teeth. "What are you doing here?" She forced herself to ask in a composed voice.
"That's the right tone. You will talk to me in this manner only, Mrs Knight."
Aurora was on the brink of killing him. "Who are you, some kind of King…"
"Ah..ah! I am a Knight, wife. Your Knight in the shining armor, that's what girls like you call your husband right."
Aurora had enough of this, she was no longer on an abandoned island where he could do anything with her. No, on the contrary, she was in a civilized society now which was governed by law and she would be damned if she let him suppress herself.
"I won't even keep you as my cleaner, let alone a husband, do you understand me. And I don't fear you because you can't manhandle me here and if you even think about trying to do that, I will call my dad. One phone call from him and he will bury you alive."
Fury ran through his veins hearing her words. A cleaner! She compared me to a cleaner.
His rage knew no bounds. He stood up in one swift moment, sprinted towards her and clasped his hand tightly in a bruising grip. Aurora was startled by the sudden moment, a second ago he was sitting calmly on the chair he was on her with a blink of her eye. She winced in pain when he pulled her closer to him.
Their eyes met each other, breathing mingled and heart beating faster as if they had been running for a long time.
"You will not talk to me in this manner, Mrs Knight." He ordered her and she pushed him in the chest but for no use as he grabbed her hair from the back of her head and raised her face. Aurora gulped but tried to squirm away from him.
Liam let her try, he was enjoying her struggles." I am your would-be husband but before that, I am your boss. So Don't force me to use other methods to keep you in line, Mrs Knight," he drawled silkily.
Aurora, who was struggling to get away from him, froze. My boss!
Liam sharpened his eyes as his gaze roamed on her beautiful pink lips. He touched her lower lip with his thumb, ruining her lipstick. She looked beautiful with that ruined lipstick and that look of hers ignited him.
That's what he wanted to do with her, he wanted to ruin her and then pleasure her.
Aurora who was frozen till now got back to her senses when she felt his thumb on her lip. A red hot rage erupted inside her and she pushed him away with all her strength this time.
"Don't ever touch me again with these unworthy hands of yours and stop lying because I know you are not my boss, Alexandrio is."
Liam chuckled. "Are you sure? Because last time I checked, The Belle was still mine with its seventy per cent shares in my name and rest in Alexandrio's. Now wife, if you got answers to all your questions. I think we should start working…"
Aurora went numb. She kept staring at him for a moment and when she came to her senses she blasted on him. "You lying deceiving thug! Don't think that I didn't understand it was all your plan just like that island. And if you think that I will work for you then you are an idiot to think that. I won't work for you…"
Liam smiled, mockingly. "You have to work for me, wife. Maybe you forgot but let me remind you, you signed a contract with me…"
"To hell with you and your contract. Sue me for all I care!" Saying that she was about to turn to leave but stopped when she heard Liam's next words.
"Alright, as you wish, wife. You and your friends will be hearing from my lawyers soon."
Friends!
She turned back towards him. "You bastard!" She lunged at him and pushed him hard in the chest. "I will kill you…"
Liam grabbed both her hands. "If you want me to take you to court I will say do that, but remember Aurora no matter how wealthy your dad is no one is above the law," he said and the words were not less than a mockery to him.
It's Vancouver, his city and he is the law here. "Two billion might not be anything to you but what about your friends because they both have to pay me the same amount individually."
Two billion dollars!
Aurora gulped. "I hate you…" she whispered. There was no way Emily would accept money from her and she barely had a sum of two hundred thousand dollars in her bank account. And Susan, oh God! She had the money inherited from her mother. It was nowhere near the amount this man just bark from his mouth.
He pulled her even closer and sniffed her hair, Aurora stood there motionless. Her mind was not working. He grabbed her chin and made her look into his eyes.
"I know you are shocked to see me here, Mrs Knight and I don't want you to stress over the situation so take a day off and relax. Think about what you want to do next but I say, think rationally because even your father won't like it when you ask her to pay two billion dollars to me," he said, stroking her chin softly.
Oh, how he wanted to kiss those luscious lips. He needed to jerk himself again or call his whore again to relieve him.
Fear was visible in her eyes. She pushed him away from her and practically ran out of his cabin.
Once back in her cabin, she searched for her phone and cursed herself because she left her phone in his office. She couldn't face him again, not yet at least.
