His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 115

Aurora blinked thrice, swallowing the emotional lump that formed in her throat. She didn't know how to react to this.

Liam was drumming his fingers on his left thigh, a nerve in his temple started to tickle. He was trying badly not to show his lack of patience because he knew how girls like to create drama in everything so he just sat there trying to control his temper.

Aurora's stomach churned as she recalled the moments she spent with Gabriel. She wanted to say no to Liam like she did once before but now she couldn't. There was something that stopped her from declining his proposal.

Whatever it was but still she couldn't let what he did to her go easily. No, when she came back from the island she decided to forget Liam's chapter but now, she wanted nothing else than to smash his moon sized ego.

And as far as his proposal was concerned, she decided that she wouldn't take any chances with her life again. No, she had done that once with Gabriel and Gabriel was still unaware of her decision. She eyed his handsome face, he was waiting for her answer but she had none to give. At least not what he expected her to say. She didn't want to accept him in a hurry just like she did before. Moreover she had an old score to settle with Liam Knight and once it's settled she would think about the chance he was asking for. If he thinks that a few cheesy lines and this decorated dinner arrangement would all it takes for her to say yes then Liam knight forgot who she was.

"Liam...I," deliberately, she drew in a sharp breath before speaking. She swallowed and met his gaze. Masking her face with an emotion of uncertainty while she pretended to test him. "Do you even know what I consider to be my ideal man? Maybe I want someone who you couldn't be! Maybe you are not what or you couldn't be like that ever."

Liam gritted his jaw, his eyes darkened hearing her but he controlled his emotions. "Then tell me what you want?" He let out in a silky, barely controlled voice.

Aurora launched a little on the table, "Are you getting angry, Mr Knight?"

Liam forced himself to smile. "No, I am not, Mrs Knight!" He said with a forced grin but inside he was a burning volcano. "But I want to know what exactly you would like in a man. I am sure you would have found something in that restaurant owner…"

Aurora stiffened at the mention of Gabrial but she calmed herself. "Are we talking about him or you, Mr Knight?"

Liam's brows snapped together. He sensed something in her tone, the way she stiffened at that restaurant rat's name…"no, we are talking about you

giving me an answer to my question, here."

Aurora's eyes shined. "You want to be the man of my dreams and you want me to tell you what kind of man I want. But if I tell you that, don't you think anyone can pretend to be that man, even you."

Liam was losing his patience with every passing second. He was angry at himself, at her but more than anyone else he was angry at Ethan King for forcing him to do something like this. He felt like a caged animal who wanted to strike on its prey but couldn't because he was stuck inside a bar.

"Where is your effort in all this Mr Knight? if you wanted me to give you a chance to be the man of my dreams but you have to earn that chance. Till then, we can be just friends." She said in an over-sweet voice which sounded as if she was mocking him and she was.

And that just friend tag made him want to sew her mouth with a needle and thread. He fisted his hand tightly under the table. He again flashed her a smile, forced to the core. "Alright, Mrs Knight, let's just be friends," he drawled, it was the third time she declined his offer.

Third bloody time! No one has ever raised his eyes in front of Liam knight and here this mere girl who didn't know anything about the real world had declined his proposal for the third freaking time.

"Our lunch is here," he said, pointing at the waiter who was coming with a bug caravan of food. Once the lunch was set in front of them, Liam said, "Enjoy the lunch…" while he cut the piece of red meat slowly, enjoying every moment of it because that was calming his mind.

He wanted to spill blood to calm his nerves which were creating a riot inside his mind at this moment while Aurora was taking pleasure in the situation.

That's what you call Tit for Tat! She giggled inwardly as she took a piece of her steak in her mouth, smiling and chewing it leisurely.

Meanwhile, Alexandrio touched the raw piece of Diamonds. He personally didn't care about all these small matters but just like his friend Liam he too was here just for his girl. Of course, there was a vast difference among their situation as he truly wanted to know Emily while Liam was just interested in increasing the range of his territory.

"What shape did you order? The design which was selected had an oval shape and this is a round cut?" He questioned the person who gave him the report on raw diamonds.

"Uh! Sir, Miss Emily ordered them in this shape."

Alexandrios inclined his head. "Ask her to come to my office, right now," he ordered the worker and darted back to his office.

Emily was working on the sharpness of the metal when the intercom on her table started ringing and she accepted the call but then wished she had not.
