His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 52

Aurora looked up and watched him clutching the window tightly, heaving.

"Why did you do that? I took you as my friend. I considered you as my friend."

Liam, who was trying to calm his anger, raged hearing her words. He sprinted towards her and grabbed her jaw. Aurora gasped, and jumped at the violence.

"Friends? I am not your bloody friend Mrs Knight. I am your husband. You are mine. Do you understand me? Mine!"

Aurora searched his eyes. All she could see in them was violence and anger. At this moment she hated being in his presence. She wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.

Aurora jerked his hand away. She might be scared of him but she tried to be brave in front of him.

"Do you understand me or not?" He yelled again but this time Aurora didn't flinch in fear. No, on the contrary, she simply looked in his eyes.

She faced the darkness head-on. It was not the first time she was seeing this, she had seen it before in him. But she thought everything changed between them. She genuinely accepted him as her friend but he was not worth it.

Liam Knight didn't deserve her friendship. So she simply asked him the question which would take her away from him and his insufferable presence.

"Please call someone and ask them to rescue us from here."

Liam shrienked his eyes and he searched her face. There was a little heaviness in her voice and he understood that she was trying to control her emotions.

"I made a bet with you darling, of course, we will leave this island soon. But till then, I will grant you some perks. After all, my would-be wife deserves to shower and sleep in a soft bed."

Aurora kept quiet. He didn't deserve her words. The man was despicable and she would not waste her words, thoughts or time on him anymore.

Not even a single second of her time.

"You may stand up and use the shower, Mrs Knight," he ordered, leaving her face with a jerk and standing up.

Aurora took a long shaking breath to keep the tears at bay. She stood up with her shaking legs. "Where is the bathroom?" She asked, her voice void of any emotions towards him.

He turned around, raised his brow. "Over there," he told her, pointing at the door behind him. She nodded and walked to the door. Opened it and closed it without even uttering a single word.

Something shifted in her composure; he could sense it. But he let it go, no he was not in the right mindset right now to question her and he didn't want to hurt Aurora.

No, it was not his plan. If only it had been as easy as hurting someone. He would have done that easily but the girl in front of her was going to be his wife. She was going to represent him in public whenever he wanted her to do so.
