His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 54

Emily nodded, finally deciding to join in the conversation. "Yes, you won and the thieves were punished by the judges. They are officially out of this contest now leaving only us and one more of the contestants."

"How did they get caught up?" Aurora asked.

"Apparently, there were videos of Evelyn hiding your design in her coat and she got caught up. Hence proven she stole your design from our cabin while I was bathing."

Emily opened the zip of her handbag. "Oh, and Alexandrios returned your necklace." She handed Aurora her necklace back but Alexandrio's name felt like a ting in her chest. A sharp pinch!

Aurora touched her mother's necklace. Her eyes blurred with emotions. "Thank you." She whispered hoarsely.

I wish you were here Mom. I need you the most now!

"Alright now, I think we should…" Susan strtae but stopped when she felt her phone buzz.

"Fuck!" She cursed under her breath when she recognized the caller ID. Susan shifted her gaze to Emily and signalled to her that they needed to talk through her eyes. Emily understood it at once.

"Aurora, do you mind going to our room and bringing a tampon for me. I think it's the time of the month and I didn't have anything on me."

"No, not at all. Wait, I think I have a sanitary pad with me…"

"Oh no! I don't use pads, you know that. Just go and bring me a tampon please girl."

Aurora didn't need to be told twice; she stood at once and ran towards the elevator. Emily sighed and turned her head to Susan.

"What now? Don't tell me he texted you again."

"That Son of bitch warned me that once he gets to know where we are he is going to make me bar from Aurora's life."

"That's what I was scared about. Look Susan I just want that we won't come to the point where I had to say 'I told you so,' so, I think we should tell Aurora what exactly we did. She thought that Gabe didn't call or text her a single time when the truth is that there was not a single hour when he had not texted or called her."

Susan raised her eyes and glared at her. "Emily, I am telling you I don't trust this man at all and as far as Aurora is concerned I know she is over him now. Gabriel James holds no more value in her life…"

We will do no such thing. What I did was right, look at her now. She finally saw the reason. She broke her engagement with that narcissist.."

Emily shook her head. "No Susan, she broke her engagement with Gabe because she thought he didn't care when we both know that's not the case. That man was going insane not knowing where Aurora is! I love her too but I respect her privacy and intelligence. You had no right to interfere…"

"Wow! Don't forget you also helped me with this."

"And I am not denying it but I was never in favour of taking it this far…"

Before Susan could speak her cell phone buzzed again. And once again a crisp curse left her mouth seeing the caller ID. Susan fisted her hand and accepted the call.

"Where is Aurora?" He gritted out in anger.

"She doesn't want you anymore, Gabe so stays away from her and you know what she found someone far better than you who unlike you doesn't control her or degrade herein her own eyes. She broke every tie she was with you so do yourself a favour, leave her alone and move on."
