Love Wins Over Lust novel Chapter 1

Aurora screamed in anger and pain recalling everything she heard. She was hurt beyond words. Tears of anger and frustration ran through her eyes uncontrollably. She squeezed her eyes to stop the tears, she had wasted enough of that on a man who didn't deserve anything.

She decided to go back to Churchill. Emily was married to a nice man. The contract she signed could go to hell for all she cared now. Her father would pay the money to Liam. If he thinks of her as a spoiled brat she would be the one.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and booked a chartered plane for herself. She needed her father, she needed Mrs Dolan with her. The heaviness in her heart was too much for her to bear.

Aurora didn't care about anything anymore, she took the taxi, went home, packed her luggage and left for the airport.

She didn't notice how long her cell phone was ringing but when her eyes went to her phone, it was ten missed calls from Emily. Aurora accepted the call this time, it could be something important if she had called her this many times.

"Hey Emily," Aurora greeted her friend s normally as she could. Her throat was still choked with punished tears. She looked up, to stop her tears from falling. A few heads turned her way on the airport as she was checking in, her face red with crying.

"I can't believe this, Aurora. I am so damn happy for you. Show me the ring now!" Her cheerful voice broke the dam Aurora was trying to hold. Once again tears rolled down her cheek. She couldn't share anything with her yet, she was on her honeymoon and Aurora was not selfish to disturb her in her special time.

She needed to talk with Emily, but she would do that only when she returned from her honeymoon. "I will send you the pic, Em. But now go or your husband will say that your friends are leaving you even on your honeymoon."

Emily giggled at that. "He said that a few seconds ago, it's a month till I come back. Have you talked to Susan?"

Aurora was glad for the change of topic. "Yes, I apologised to her. She said she needs a little time. I gave it to her," her voice choked again, the pain was too hard to handle. She didn't have the strength to continue the charade anymore.

"Em, I gotta go, I will call you back okay," saying that she ended the call and dabbed her eyes, turned off her cell phone and ascended the stairs of her chartered jet and left this city behind which robbed her not only of her heart but her soul as well.

Meanwhile, Liam flipped the mahogany desk upside down in anger. The things on it scattered all over the floor. He was raging in fury, his mind demanded blood. He needed to control his anger or he would burn the whole world.

The first victim of his rage was the security outside the farmhouse. He went outside and grabbed the neck of his security team. "How did she come inside without my permission. Why was I not informed?" He roared, his eyes dark and brutal. The grip on that man's throat tightened, blocking his windpipe

The guard shivered in his hold. "Boss, she said you call her here." He choked, his face turned red with lack of oxygen.

"And you believed her!" He demanded. Mistakes were not something Liam could tolerate. He pulled out his gun and shot the man in his heart. Twice. But even spilling blood didnt gave him the satisfaction, even it didnt cool him today and that made him even more furious.

The other guards stood there, in fear. Liam gave them a disgusted look and walked out of there towards his car. He needed to share this with his father. He had to tell him that he no longer cared for Ethan's condition. Liam was going to eradicate Ethan from his path and his spoiled brat would marry him to save her father.

The words she said about Ethan ruining him kept ringing in his ears. He tried to play the role of the peace-loving prince but that was not his character. Liam Knight was a born Alpha and he was born to rule, and he will rule over Aurora's father's territory.

He thought about calling his brother but gave up on the thought. His brother had developed a guilty conscience and this was against his rules. This life was not for chicken-hearted people. Ralph was not it, he knew but he couldn't afford a man in his team who holds a guilty conscience.

This was a brutal business. Violence was the only thing that kept you alive. He didn't waste time by calling his father and informing him beforehand. He was not in the mood to hear him preach about his being the boss anymore. He wanted Aurora to beg, that was the only thing that could calm him now.

"What are you doing here?" Ryan asked his son when he barged inside his home office, Ryan was on an important video call at that time and seeing his son's face he knew something big happened. Big and bad!

Ryan Knight ended the video call immediately. "What enraged you."

Liam placed his hands on the desk and looked into his father's eyes. "I don't care about this so called friendship with Ethan anymore. I want Ethan dead."

Ryan stood up from his chair with a lightening speed. "Liam! Don't forget he is…"

"As I said, I don't care anymore. I did everything he asked me to do, for you, for your friendship. Do you know how hard it was for me to suffer that girl's childish tantrums. I suffered that because of you! I don't have patience anymore. The commission meeting is next month…"

"You told me last night that the girl agreed. You proposed to her, than what's is all this about?"

Liam slapped the table. "Because the bitch has found out it was all a plan. She found out that I was doing this charade to gain her father's business."

Ryan stiffened. It was bad, Ethan would never allow Liam to marry Aurora now. The man was an emotional fool when it comes to his daughter. He eyed his son. "How did she find out? You couldn't do one thing!"

"Dad… don't made me more furious than I already am. I don't care about Ethan anymore. I will marry Aurora, she will beg me to marry her because her father will be on my mercy."

Ryan shook his head. "Don't even think about it!"

Liam glared at his father. "Why?" He demanded the answer. Now, his suspicion was proving right. There was something his father was hiding from him. "What are you hiding father?"

Ryan shrinked his eyes. "Stay in your limits, Liam, don't forget I am both your father and boss."

Liam shook his head. "Don't play this game with me anymore. I am your son, your twisted blood flows in my veins. Do you think I would not be able to guess it. I didnt question you till now because my focus was on that brat, but now, I want answer, father. I know you, you made me kill a man because you didn't liked his face and this Ethan is making you dance on his pinky finger since months now and you didn't do anything. Why? What are you hiding?"

For the first time in years, Ryan Knight's secret was in danger. He feared the day would come but he didnt know it would come so soon. But he couldn't allow his secret to come out. Things would turn ugly if it ever happened.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter to you. Don't interfere, Liam."

"I will interfere in it because it is affecting me. I am closing the chapter of Ethan Kings from the history of Canadian Mafia."
