Love Wins Over Lust novel Chapter 12

Liam burned in hot red fury when his brother showed him the message from the Masked man on his phone.

His nose flared seeing the burnt sheep and just then Ralph's phone rang. There was another bad news waiting for him. There was one more attack on one of his warehouses, it was burnt too.

Liam was pacing in the room, his mind raging in anger as he tried to figure out the situation. "Liam, you need to think with a cool mind, he is playing with your mind."

Liam understood that too, he didn't need his father to tell him that. He had tried enormous times but that Masked man was still out of Liam's reach. He didn't know how to cope with this delinquency, his mind couldn't accept this failure. He wanted to torture this masked man, brutally before killing him.

"Is there anyone from the commission who knows anything about this masked man?" Liam demanded from his father who sighed, shaking his head.

"No."

That answer fueled the burning rage of his anger. He had no one who can support Liam in this masked man issue except for one, but he didn't want to back out from promise. Liam promised himself that he would let Alexandrio live a month with his wife, he would allow him to live the honeymoon bliss but this new event made him question his words.

Could he afford a month? The answer would be no, he couldn't but was he ready to sacrifice his friend for his dream this soon? That was the question he couldn't answer.

Liam glanced at his brother and father before walking out of the warehouse in anger. He wanted to think with a clear mind before taking any step. He decided to go home because at this moment violence is not the solution to his situation.

Liam looked at his brother, " pay the authorities, I don't want the issue to get any hype!" Saying that he walked out from there.

Aurora watched outside the window, just like yesterday she was locked in her room, her breakfast, lunch and dinner was served to her in the room but she was not allowed to leave her gilded cage. Her mind took her to memory lane, her life in Churchill before meeting Gabriel and Liam used to be beautiful. It was only her father, uncle Mrs Dolan and her two friends.

Just a few months back she used to whine to him for using his private plane to travel. Tears perked into her eyes, recalling the beautiful memories of the past. She was missing her old life, her father.

"Please get well soon, dad. I can't live like this anymore, please," she sobbed, putting her head on her kneecap.

She wanted to meet her father, she knew he was in Vancouver but Liam banned her from going out of this room. She wiped her tears with determination, "I will tell him that I want to meet you, dad. I want to be close to you and if he doesn't let me out of this room I will not leave him."

The tears in her eyes didn't stop. "Please call me Uncle Thomas, please, order Liam to leave me alone," she cried, her emotions were out of control nowadays.

She was lost in her thoughts and crying over her fate but suddenly she heard a loud bang which made her jump in the air. Her eyes went to the door which was opened and there stood the man who she loved and hated at the same time. Liam Knight.

Liam gritted his jaw when his eyes went to his wife's tear-stained cheeks. He sprinted to her and clasped her elbow. "Why are you crying?" He demanded in a sharp voice.

Aurora blinked rapidly to clear her vision. She wanted to get away from.his touch, she wanted to scream that she didn't want him but last night was a slap to her words and face.

Aurora snatched her hand and looked down, she didn't want to say anything when she knew he was only going to mock her. She stood up and tried to go to the bathroom but he didn't allow her. "I asked you something."

Aurora didn't say anything and sat back on the bed. Still silent, Liam who was already engaged didn't like her attitude and clasped her jaw tightly, raided her face to meet his gaze.

Aurora fisted the bed sheet, meeting his gaze, "I asked you a question, Little one and want an answer to it." He gritted out, his eyes turned dark which scared Aurora still she was defiant to not surrender her ofide more than she already had.

"Aurora, don't provoke me, I am not in a good mood already, don't make me take you on my knees to discipline you!"

That made Aurora break her silence. She felt filthy with his words and touch, in that heat of anger, she stood up and pushed him hard in the chest, Liam stumbled backwards more in shock rather than by the force used by her.

"Who are you to punish me, what right do you have to use violence over my body? If I am not answering your questions, it means I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to see your face, nor breathe in your presence. What word of it you don't understand? I want to see my dad, I want to be close to him, I miss him but I can't go to see him because I am stuck here in this room, you have caged me here!" Aurora busted Out all the frustration she had bottled inside her, the tears of frustration and anger were rolling down her cheek but she didn't care anymore.

"I want to meet my dad! I want to see him, you have smashed me from inside, what have I done to you that you destroyed my soul like this Liam? I loved you with all my heart but now it's a poison which is killing me!" Aurora sniffed and screamed in agony.
