His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 160

Aurora had tears in their eyes when she saw Emily in a white wedding dress for the first time. "Oh Emily, this...you…" she couldn't finish the sentence. Her throat was thick with tears.

Susan's eyes were perked with tears as well. Emily smiled with teary eyes seeing her two friends getting emotional. "You are making me emotional, girls. Now, tell me how I look? Is this perfect or should I try something else?"

Susan cleared her throat while Aurora nodded. "I got emotional seeing you in a wedding dress but this is not the one for you. Try something else."

Emily was on her tenth dress now and she couldn't find the perfect dress for herself yet. Now the excitement was turning into exhaustion. "How does it look?"

Susan shook her head. "No, too loud for your figure."

"Yes, you should wear something soft, like yourself and all these dresses." She shrugged her shoulders.

The store attendant smiled. "If you don't mind I have something you might like," she said and three pairs of eyes turned towards her. "Of course show it to us," Aurora said.

The attendant went and came back with a beautiful, platinum thread workpiece that has pearls over it. Aurora shrieked in happiness. Susan air kissed it, and Emily lists her heart for the dress. "This is perfect!" They said at the same time and the store attendants laughed.

"Em, try it on, now!" Aurora ordered her and Emily came back wearing the dress, she looked like a perfect bride wearing the veil over her face.

"This is it!" Susan said. Emily nodded, happy that she got the dress of her dreams. "How much is this for?" Emily asked.

"Just ten thousand dollars, madam."

Emily's mouth hung open. Just ten thousand dollars! Is she insane?

"This is too much, it's out of my budget, I am sorry but I will take some other dress."

The look on the attendant's face turned nasty. "Out of your budget! But you didn't say anything about the budget when I asked you. you could have told that before. This is a masterpiece and we generally don't allow anyone to try it on unless they are hundred per cent sure that they would be buying it."

"Which bride chose a wedding dress without trying it?" Susan asked while Aurora walked near Emily who turned crimson hearing the words of the attendant.

"If you can't afford a dress this expensive then you should have informed me about your budget before. I would have never shown you this dress," she turned to Emily, "will you please, take off the dress."

Emily nodded and went to remove the dress. "It's our mistake that we came to this cheap shop. You know what you can't afford customers like us!" Aurora said in anger.

The attendant rolled her eyes. Emily came back dressed in her clothes. She was about to walk to her friends when stopped when she found Alexandrios standing at the door of the shop.

"Xandrio!" She whispered but he was not looking at her. His eyes were focussed on the shop attendant. Aurora and Susan watched him enter the shop. "How much for that dress?" He asked the attendant.

She raised her chin in the air and proudly told the price. Alexandrio pulled out his black card and handed it to the lady. "We are buying it."

"Xandrio, no! Please, it was decided between us."

"We will talk about it later," he said in a voice that made Emily shut her mouth.

"Are you sure you can afford it?" The attendant asked arrogantly which made him chuckle. "I think I can. Pack the dress."

Emily didn't like it. Aurora and Susan were silent when Emily burst out on Alexandrio. "Why did you do that? I wanted to buy my dress!"

Alexandrio grabbed her hand and jerked her towards him. "You will be my wife in six days and do you think I would let anyone disrespect you like this, Emily? Hell no! Don't let everyone walk over you, Zvezda."

Emily gulped. She still couldn't forget the laughter of people when she was called a gold digger. She looked away to hide her tears. "Now that we have bought the dress, may I see my bride in it?"

A small smile appeared on her face. Before she could speak, Aurora walked to them. "You can't."

"Why?"

Emily put her face on his shoulder to hide her laughter. When Susan backed Aurora. "It's a bad omen if the groom sees the bride in a wedding dress before the ceremony."

"I do not believe in bad or good omen."

The three friends looked at him with mischievous eyes. "But we do!" They said at the same time which made Alexandrio raise his hand in surrender and leave when they didn't allow him to stay.

It was at the lunch table when Emily asked Aurora and Susan to be her maid of honour. Aurora hugged her but Susan was shocked when she heard Emily. Susan and Emily, we're not as close as they were with Aurora. But today Emily broke that barrier between them and Susan was glad because she couldn't have done it herself.

"Any idea where he is taking you for your honeymoon?" Aurora asked while eating her ice cream.

"No, he said it's a surprise and since then I am craving to know where he is taking me. I don't want it to be anywhere near Russia."

Susan rolled her eyes. "You could have used different tactics to know about the destination."

"Like what? I asked him what I should pack and he said nothing because he intended for me to be naked for a month."

Aurora choked on her ice cream while laughing. "Too much information, Em!"

Susan and Emily burst out laughing as a look of understanding passed between them. Aurora was back to her old self, this shows how happy she was in this relationship. Liam was keeping her happy which made them happy for her.

"You know what, I can help you find out," Emily's eyes perked. "How?"

Aurora smiled, biting her lip. "I have my ways but what about your bachelorette party? Let's have a trip to Vegas, what say?"
