Love Wins Over Lust novel Chapter 9

Aurora sat in front of the mirror while the beauticians were checking the dress she was wearing for her Reception tonight. She didn't want to celebrate her marriage. What was there to celebrate, abuse, deception or fake love?

"Which color do you want to wear, Mrs Knight?" Robin, one of the beauticians asked in a soft tone. Even though the beauticians were doing their work, Aurora felt irritated with everyone there.

She eyed the red-haired beautician, Sonia, who was holding a beautiful red dress. Aurora fisted her hands and stood up. "I am not wearing this dress," she said and went to check the other dresses. She wanted to wear something which angered Liam.

He married her against her wishes and in his own words, as he everytime put it to her, 'Actions have consequences,' so now, he was going to suffer the consequences of marrying Aurora Kings.

Aurora chose the dress and showed it to the beauticians. "This is what I want to wear," she said with a wide smile.

The beauticians went blank seeing the dress. They glanced at one another and then at Aurora. "But, Mrs Knight, it's your reception and the color…"

Aurora was ready for this. "This is my favourite color and the dress is beautiful too. Shall we start now."

Robin and Sonia nodded at her. "If you want to wear this then we can't say anything."

"Absolutely right!" She said in a bitchy tone. Spoiled brat he called her now she would show everyone what a real spoiled brat looks like.

Aurora spent the next three hours of her day with the beauticians, they did everything to enhance Aurora's beauty, not that she needed it, she was already beautiful but after the makeup, she looked even more gorgeous.

When Aurora looked at her reflection in the mirror she was impressed by them.

"Madam, Mr Knight called to ask if you are ready or not?" Paulina asked, even though she tried to hide it but Aurora could see the shock on her face. The beauticians left with a smile at Aurora.

Aurora fisted her hand. The idiot had snatched her phone and was not giving it back. She was going to make him pay for that too. "I am ready, Paulina, where is Mr Knight?"

"Sir will be here soon, Madam," she replied, eyeing Aurora one more time before walking downstairs. Exactly after half an hour, she heard Liam's voice from outside the door.

She couldn't wait for him to enter and see the dress she was wearing, she wanted to enjoy his stunned face.

Liam ended the call and entered his room to get dressed into a tuxedo for the reception. The reception was an important event for him. It was a warning for his enemies so he wanted everything to be perfect. But when his eyes settled on his wife he was in one hell of a shock.

The girl was dressed beautifully, not for the reception but for the funeral. She was wearing a black dress with black gloves and black heels.

His eyes burned with rage. "What the hell are you wearing?" He roared in anger.

Aurora flashed a soft smile on her lips. "It's pretty, right. I chose it myself, you didn't tell me how I am looking?"

Liam gritted his jaw and sprinted towards her. "Have you lost your mind? Is this what you are wearing for our reception. Black!"

Aurora raised her brows. "Yea why not? I think it's a perfect choice as it reflects my mood perfectly. That's how I feel about this marriage, So I decided to wear a mourning dress."

Liam grabbed her face. " A mourning dress, who are you mourning, Aurora?"

She met his gaze, her eyes burning with anger. "I am mourning over my fate that I met you. I am mourning this marriage which is bound to be doomed in future."

Liam blinked his eyes to control his anger. His hands twitched, he craved to kill someone to soothe the burning desire to see blood. He wanted to control his anger but it proved to be a hard-luck for him. Every minute with her felt like a war he was fighting with himself.

He glanced at the wall clock. He didn't have time to waste, "Go and dress into something else."

"Why? It took me more than three hours to get ready. I am not ruining my perfect make up or dress because you asked me to do," she said, her eyes went to the wall clock "and let's be real, it would take me almost five hours to dress up again because I have to do the whole look again, till then it would be close to ten and I don't think you want people to gossip about us."

Liam shrank his eyes. He understood what she was trying to do, he pulled her closer to him, " you are right, I don't want people to gossip about us, so we are going to attend our reception in this dress. You want to mourn our marriage, Little one. Let's do it. "

Aurora frowned. She expected him to shout, scream and tell her to change the dress. But she didn't expect him to agree with her, not this soon at least.

It took him merely fifteen minutes to change into a tuxedo, the man looked perfect without even trying. Yes, Liam Knight was that handsome and when Aurora's eyes went to him, she inhaled sharply, the man was a treat to look at, not to mention that spicy cologne he used. Aurora swallowed the lump that formed in her throat by looking at him.

She scolded herself for getting attracted to him when he only played with her emotions.

He is a cruel lying deceptive animal, Aurora, don't let yourself lose.

"Come little one, let's mourn this marriage together," he said with a smirk and that smirk was enough for creating haywire in Aurora's mind.

He was planning something, she knew it then and she feared that whatever he planned to do was going to hit her hard.

Liam kept clenching and unclenching his hands. He was barely controlling his anger. She wanted to show her stubbornness. He was going to teach her the lesson she would never forget.

Aurora's heart was beating an uneven rhythm. She wanted to show him that he forced her to marry him but he couldn't break her. She was still the same, Aurora King who had sky under her feet. She was Ethan King's daughter and no one could break her but now everything seemed vague.
