Aurora giggled recalling Liam's expressions when she told him that she wanted to be just friends with him. But there was something, which was fluttering in her, something she couldn't name. But it was a beautiful feeling.
She stood in front of the mirror in her room and cleared her throat. "I am Liam Knight…" she mocked him and burst out laughing. She was in a jovial mood and wanted to dance. So she chose a high beated music, raised its volume and started dancing without bothering about anyone or anything.
On the other hand, Emily was starting at the moon, her mind was fixed on the memory of what happened in the office while Susan was working on her laptop and drinking coffee simultaneously. They both jumped when they heard a high beated voice from Aurora's room.
Susan stood up abruptly and started at Emily in question who shrugged her shoulders and they both ran towards Aurora's room. Not bothering with a knock Susan busted her door open and they both entered. They both were stunned seeing Aurora dancing in happiness.
She rolled her hips swirling around. The smile was fixed on her face, she was enjoying the music to her soul. "Aurora what the hell are you doing? We got scared, girl." Susan yelled over the top of her lungs.
Aurora turned around and gave them both a flying kiss. "Join me, babies!" She screamed in enthusiasm and pulled them further inside. "Aurora…" Emily tried to resist but Aurora didn't listen and swirled her around.
Susan laughed when Aurora did the same with her. She was happy that her friend was enjoying herself just like before that douchebag came into her life and they all started dancing like there is no tomorrow, finally, the song ended and the three friends fell on Aurora's bed.
They laughed staring at the ceiling, their breathing shortened with dancing. "What was that?" Emily asked.
"It was fun, I feel alive and happy."
Susan turned her face towards Aurora. "You look different? What has gotten into you?"
Aurora stood up and straight ended her hands, drawing in a sharp breath. "I feel like I'm on top of the world."
And Susan glanced at Emily who shook her head, "see, I was right, That man was not good for her."
"It should have been her choice, not yours. Loving her is one thing but taking decisions for her is another, Susan. I am happy seeing her like this but still, my stand on what you did will remain the same. It was not your decision to make. "
Susan rolled her eyes. "I will do it again for her," she whispered, gesturing at Aurora's happy face.
Meanwhile, Liam was having dinner with his father and brother. "Any progress with Aurora?" Ryan asked Liam who gritted his jaw hearing her name.
Ralph raised his eyes and met Liam's gaze. "No!" Liam tried tightly. "That girl is a fucking nuisance and I am stuck with her father's ridiculous demand. Instead of getting her married to me he bloody threw this demand on me as if I got time of the world for that daughter of his."
Ralph sighed and placed his knife and fork on the table, leaned back in his chair and said: "I told you it's a bad idea but you didn't listen. Ethan has kept her away from the dark world till now. He considers you a safe bet for his daughter, he is right in his place but you don't have the patience which this job required, Liam…"
"I am fucking trying and don't talk about patience. I remained calm when she declined my offer for the third time today," he then turned to his father who had a smirk playing on his face.
"Are you having a stimulating time here, dad?"
"Very!" She drawled but when Ryan saw his son's eyes loomed with darkness one this remark he sighed and squatted forward. "Take this advice from the old bastard, if you want to charm the girl, be the man of her dreams."
Liam fisted his hands. "And how do you know that, old bastard?"
"Because I charmed your mother the same way."
Liam scoffed. He didn't speak because of Ralph who's face tightened at the mention of their mother. "You got played by her," he gritted.
Ryan's smile widened. "I don't think so! But the topic here is not what I did," he said pointing at both his sons.
"The topic of conversation here is, What do you have to do? And as far as I know you have to lower the level of your ego for sometime because it's the only thing standing in your way of being the most powerful mafia head in the history of Canada. The girl is not less than a treasure for you and plus she is beautiful. So think with your mind and not your…" he gestured in the direction of Liam's d**k.
Liam gave him a look of pure disgust. Her beauty was one of the two things which he wanted from her apart from her father's territory and not to mention that sexy body of hers which drives Liam mad with a feral need.
Ralph shook his head. "I don't care what you do, Liam but make sure you don't hurt her now or in future because a single tear in her eyes and Ethan would unleash his raging beast on you.
Liam pinned Ralph with a pointed gaze which Ralph met his head on making Ryan shake his head. His both son's were alpha males who didn't fear anyone, not even each other. Only their blood relation and respect and love (which they both deny to accept) they have for each other kept them alive from the hands of each other.
Liam tilted his head to one side and said in a dark voice, " Once that girl is married to me, she is under my rule and her father can't do anything. He wanted me to charm his daughter. I will do it. He wanted me to propose to her with cheesy lines and all, I will do that as well but the moment she had my name behind hers, she belonged to me and what belonged to me will do what I want it to do. Ethan thought that just because I agreed to court her I will forget the insults he and his daughter instigated on me when I showed him nothing but respect…"
"Calm yourself, don't forget he is my friend and the girl you are talking about is like a daughter to me."
"And I am your fucking son!"
"That's why I am telling you to calm your anger. Ethan is a good ally. We had a history of killing our enemies together, if he had not lost his son and wife in that attack…" he stopped and turned to his son.
"Listen to me, Liam. Aurora is naive, she will do whatever you ask her if you let her live in the illusion of love. She can be a good wife in every way you want, you just have to teach her the right way and maybe you start loving her with time..."
"I will not repeat your mistakes, daddy dear. Love is nothing but an idiotic emotion which turn you into a fool," Liam nodded, his mood turning stiff as he stood abruptly. His eyes fixed on his brother's fisted hands.
