Love Wins Over Lust novel Chapter 16

He could see the look of shock on her face. She frowned. "Have you started to trust me now?"

Liam once again caressed her lower lip before shaking his head. "Not really, Little one. But I want to see the depth of your love. Here is your phone, you can call your uncle and tell him everything or you can choose to stay with me, forever, Little one."

Aurora stared at him for a long minute.

She had her liberty in her hands. Her uncle would come and nothing would be able to stop him from taking her with him, her father would get fine soon. She glanced at the phone in her hand, she was about to curl her fingers around the phone but stopped when Liam's words hit her ears.

"But remember Little one. If you chose to tell him about us then your father is in a very private hospital…"

Aurora's heart stopped for a second. He was playing with her mind. She tried to look unaffected by the threat of his words and smaller her uncle's number.

Their gazes were locked with each other. Liam's eyes sharpened as he continued gazing into her ocean blue eyes. Aurora waited for Thomas to accept the call, she was excited to hear the voice of her uncle after a week. Happiness shot through her nerves when his voice sounded from the other end. "Aurora?"

"How are you doing uncle and How is Mrs Dolan?" She asked, her throat turning heavy with bubbled emotions.

, Aurora?"

She sniffed. "Yes, uncle. I am absolutely fine," she raised her eyes and fixed them on Liam. "Liam is taking care of me." She said looking into his eyes. "Uncle have you met, Dad? How is he doing?"

Liam's gaze sharpened. He took a step forward but Aurora kept her eyes locked on him, she didn't react in any way when she saw him move. "You don't know?"

She shook her head, as if Thomas could see her. "No, I have not met him, I don't have the power to see him in a hospital bed. Liam is keeping a record of his death information. He is not letting me take any stress. Uncle, I want to hear it from you, please tell me how Dad is doing?"

"He is recovering well, Aurora. We will hear the good news soon. Liam has appointed the team of the best doctors for Ethan. He is in a private ward under tight security from Liam."

Aurora's heart thumped, heavily "I know Dad will be fine soon, uncle. Liam would not let anything happen to him, Aurora said it with so much confidence in her eyes that Liam's body stiffened.

She swallowed. " I will call you later uncle. Please take care of yourself and Mrs Dolan. I don't have anyone except for you two anymore."

Aurora heard Thomas clearing his throat. "Goodbye, Love. Take care of yourself and if you need anything, give me a call."

She smiled, her eyes still on her husband who was looking at her with hawk eyes. "My husband is here to take care of me, Uncle. But I will call you again soon. Good night," saying that she ended the call.

Aurora took a deep breath. She grabbed Liam's hand and put her phone in his palm. " I didn't tell him about you caging me in your room and how badly you are treating me because I want us to be together. Because I love you. I asked him about my father because I am worried about his health and you don't share anything about him. I am ready to fight for our relationship Liam. I am not scared of you, I love you," she said looking straight into his eyes.

Liam kept staring at her but she turned around and tried to walk away but Liam grabbed her neck and pulled her back. She gasped at his action and Liam put his lips on hers.

He wanted to consume her whole, her lips, her scent, more importantly, her words intoxicated his mind. He was dominating her tongue. Aurora, as startled by his action, grabbed his shoulder and her hand roamed to his hair, she kissed him back with equal prominence but when his kiss made her breathless she pushed his chest a little, telling him without words that she couldn't breathe.

Liam left her and took a sharp breath.

Aurora swallowed. "You hurt me today," once again she tried to leave but Liam didn't allow her and pulled her closer. "So you really love me? How much Aurora?"

She gritted her jaw. "Is there any way to measure love, Liam? What is the use of answering you when you won't believe me? I begged you, cried in front of you, I even forgave you for your deception but I don't know what you want from me anymore," she wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.

She pushed him in the chest and went to the bathroom leaving an angry Liam behind her. He fisted his hands and punched the wall hard. Liam Knight was losing his mind seeing her tears. Her tears twisted his heart, badly. His heart didn't want to see her tears, it ached when she cried but his mind. It warned him not to do the same mistake his father did once. His mind warned him not to fall into the trap of Love. It makes a man blind and hurts him when he doesn't expect to be hurt.

Liam walked out of the room. He needed to get away from her.
