His Purchased Wife

Chapter 109

"You look beautiful, Em!" Aurora whispered to her friend who smiled happily. Emily's life turned into a

fairy tale romance and now she was having a fairytale wedding.

"Xandrio gifted me this, last night." She said, showing her pearl bowtie pendant studded with diamonds

to Aurora.

"It's as beautiful as you are," Aurora hugged Emily tightly. She was happy for her but her thoughts kept

wondering how Liam would react when she told him that she was ready to take the next step into their

relationship.

"Aurora, I know it sounds mean but I don't feel comfortable in Alexandria's brother's presence. It's

weird!"

Her chain of thoughts broke and she nodded at her friend. "You can't change his family, Em! Chill, and

enjoy."

She nodded, "Where is Susan?" Emily asked knowing that she would be able to understand her

situation better than Aurora.

Her name was enough to make Aurora sad. She craved talking to Susan but couldn't. "Don't you

know? Is she alright, Emily?"

Emily sighed. "Aurora, please talk to her. I know what she did was wrong but she did it for you, I have

told you many times and I am telling you again, Susan loves you."

Aurora nodded. "I know and I love her too but she needs to understand that I am capable enough to

fight my own battles, Emily," she sighed, patting her hand, "leave all this, today is not the day to talk

about these things but can you do me a favour?"

Emily nodded. "Whatever you say."

"Call Susan and ask where she is? Please."

Emily shook her head. "I can't believe I have stuck between you two stupid heads," she mumbled while

pulling the cell phone from her handbag and dialling Susan. "You both need a medical check-up for Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

behaving like fools," she mumbled and waited for Susan to accept her call.

"Not accepting," Emily informed but she smiled when she saw Susan walking towards them. Aurora

glanced at her face and concern grabbed her heart. "Em, she doesn't look fine to me, ask her about it."

"Why don't you do it, yourself?"

"Please Em!" Aurora pouted.

Emily rolled her eyes before agreeing. She would have asked her on her own because she too could

see there was something different about Susan today and that too in a negative way.

"Alright," Aurora smiled. "I am going to meet your parents, they look a little lost here."

"Don't ask, Mum and dad didn't know what to do in this society. They love their farm life, I tried to make

them feel comfortable, even Xandro tried to do the same but they don't know what to do. I do not like

my parents feeling like this in my marriage."

Aurora smiled. "Let me handle it. I know how to make them feel comfortable."

"Thanks."

"Em, take care of Susan, please," she said before walking away from there to Emily's parents who

were sitting in a corner alone, watching people around them.

"Susan, you look different, is everything alright with you?" Emily asked genuinely worried about her

friend.

Susan smiled. "Yes, I was trapped in a nightmare for a while but now I am free again."

Emily hugged her, " Susan, she asked me to take care of you. She loves you, trust me."

"I know, Em. I know she is worried about me but pretending that she doesn't care about me. I have

known her since kindergarten. Don't worry about it. We both love you but today is not the day to talk

about my and Aurora's problems. It's your day and I want you to enjoy it to the fullest, Emily."

"Thank you for all your support. I need it today," She smiled gratuitously.

"Why what happened?" She asked, thinking something was troubling her.

"He is here with some giant looking men from Russia. I don't know how to hold myself, he is scary."

"Who?"

Emily rolled her eyes, "who else, that brother of Xandro. Dmitry Kyschove."

Susan sighed. "Don't pay attention to him and focus on yourself, go to Alexandrio. He is looking at you

and I am going to say hello to your parents. I know they don't like the city people too much."

Emily was glad to have such nice friends. She went to her would-be husband and stood beside him.

Liam forced a smile on his face when Alexandrio asked him to stand next to Dmitry as he was one of

his best men.

But Liam did it for him, that was the least he could do for his friend.

Whatever he had planned for him was something he didn't want to think about, at least for now. "Can

you both smile a little tomorrow, I don't want this expression on your faces tomorrow, and surely not in

my wedding photographs."

Dmitry arched his brow. "Are you not being too demanding, now? I accept to stand with this filthy

creature here for you and now you want me to smile, while I tolerate his fifty presence."

Liam chuckled. "I don't have any problem with smiling for you, Alexandrio. It is the smallest thing I could

do for you, my friend. You always have been loyal to me even though your loyalty lies with someone

else."

Dmitry's nose flared, the black orbs of his eyes dominated his eyes. The Pakhan of the Russian mafia

was angry over the remark. "Loyalty is a big word, Knight, don't confuse it with friendship."

Alexandrio sensed that this war of words could end up with guns pointed at their heads so he

intervened. "Can you both behave civilised for two days? It's my wedding celebration."

Ever so slowly Dmitry turned his gaze to his brother. "I am a man who believes in Barbarian entices,

Alex and I am trying to be civilised for you because we are blood brothers. So tell your friend not to

provoke me."

"What will you do, if I provoke you, don't forget it's my territory, Pakhan."

At that Dmitry let out a throaty chuckle. "I don't care if you want to know why?" His eyes sparked with a

twisted excitement, "because territory belongs to dogs and I am a lion. I know how to kill dogs."

Liam's eyes turned dark. His hand twitched but Alexandrio shook his head. Liam took a step forward

and got into Dmitry's face. "You got it all wrong, barbarian. The man standing in front of you is not a

dog, na! This man is a monster! A big bad monster. One more thing you got wrong, you can stand in

my territory because I allowed it to happen for my friend."

Dmitry's lip curled upward but before he could say anything his eyes watched a beautiful blonde

moving towards them. Aurora Kings, he recognised when she came a little closer. The same girl Liam

is possessive about. "I would have answered this question but your girl is coming here. Ethan King's

daughter isn't she? The Mexicans, the masked man, a lot of enemies you have, Knight!" He taunted.

Liam's eyes darkened to a dangerous depth understanding where he was pointing at. "Liam knight

knows how to castrate his enemies, Kyschove. I won't mind making a few new enemies or the

presence of old ones…"

Dmitry nodded. "Same goes for me, Knight!"

Alexandrio gave up on both of them. He stood there hearing both of them warning each other. That

they have not pulled out their weapons yet, shows how important he was to both of them. Dmitry was

blood, his brother, he loved him but Liam was not less than a brother to him.

"Liam I want you to meet someone, will you please come with me, baby," Aurora said with a shy smile.

"Aurora Kings, if I am not wrong!" Dmitry said before Liam could speak. She turned her head to look at

him. "Yes, and you are?"

"He is no one!" Liam snapped, grabbed her hand and walked away but not before warning him with his

eyes. Stay away from her, the message was clear.

Dmitry mocked him with a salute with his two fingers, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "She is hot."

"His girlfriend, out of your league!" Alexandrio pointed out a little sharply for his brother's liking.

"Nah! I am over blondes nowadays, I am more into brunettes with long silky black hair."

Alexandrio shook his eyes and went to his fiance, who he left alone because of the two hot-headed

men.

"Liam, you are hurting me!" She said as his grip on her hand was biting it painfully. He was walking so

fast that her heels were cutting her ankles. "Liam, please slow down, I can't walk this fast with my

heels."

Liam stopped into the empty hall and pushed her against the wall. "Don't interrupt me again if I am

talking to some unknown man to you. I don't want any harm to come your way, do you understand

me?" He almost shouted, making Aurora gasp in panic.

His eyes lost the usual calmness and in its place, there was something dark and violent present there.

She touched his cheek with a shaking hand. "Liam, what happened, baby? Is something wrong?" She

asked in a soft voice as if she was talking to a child and that irked Liam even more but the look of care

and love in her eyes stopped him from saying something harsh.

"Who can harm me when my strong man is standing beside me and let's be real, why would anyone

want to harm me?" She said with a laugh as if his words didn't make any sense to her.

Liam pulled her closer to him. "You don't know how precious you are to me, Aurora. I can kill the whole

world to protect you."

She bit her lower lip and looked down too shy to meet his eyes. "I know but you didn't tell me who that

man was and why did you get so angry?"

"He is an old rival of mine, I don't like him but he is Alexandrio's brother so I have to bear his presence

for my friend."

Then it hit her, "oh! so he was Dmitry." She said and hearing his name from Aurora's mouth made him

angry.

"How do you know him?" He demanded. Thousands of scenarios erupted in his mind.

"Emily told me she didn't like him and is kind of nervous around him."

Liam nodded. "Do you want to stay?"

Aurora glanced at the time on her wristwatch. It was close to nine, she had plans for tonight. "No, I

think it would be better if we leave for home but let me say goodbye to Emily first."

"Yes, I need to do the same, Alexandrio would not like me leaving before saying goodbye to him first,"

he said and they both went back to the venue to say their goodbyes.

"But why are you leaving so early?" Emily pouted.

Aurora hugged her. "Because I am hoping for a big night, Em! I have some plans…" she told her friend

and the thought tinted her cheek red. Emily's eyes widened, "oh my God! You want to…" she wants to

shriek but Aurora puts her hand on Emily's lips.

"Don't be mad!"

Emily calmed. "Okay, I got excited for a minute, you know what? Get out from here and I want details,

Aurora Kings," then going near to her ear she whispered, "will you be able to walk tomorrow? Don't

forget you are my maid of honour!"

Aurora's mouth hung open. "Ha! You shameless woman. Don't worry I won't ruin your wedding by my

walk."

They both laughed at that and Aurora kissed Emily. "I am so happy for you," then her eyes went to

Susan who was with Emily's parents. "Tell her that too, I don't want her to feel left out."

Emily sighed. "Aurora, think about stopping this cold war between you two. It only hurts you both. I

would be gone for a month after the wedding. How will you both manage without me?"

Aurora looked down, fidgeting her fingers at the question. "I don't know, maybe we will communicate

professionally, you are taking a break from The Belle but I can't. You know the contract still binds me

for two more weeks."

Emily felt guilty, "I told Xandro the same but he said that I could join after the honeymoon, and gave me

off from The Belle using his power boss power."

Aurora laughed. "He did the right thing. Now, I have to go, take care of yourself and Susie too."

Aurora smiled imagining how Liam blackmailed her to stay in the Belle using the contract and today

because of the same contract she had fallen madly in love with him.

"I will make this night unforgettable for us both, Liam."
