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.
