Chapter 55.
"Stay away from me, you jerk!" Emily said to Alexandrios who tried talking to her but once again she NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
gave him the cold shoulder response she had been giving him for the past four days. And her attitude
was irritating him.
Alexandrios was the kind of man who never chased after a girl but Emily was making him desperate
and that was not just his style. He didn't chase girls, girls chased him.
"Look, Emily. I am trying to hold a conversation with you…"
"There will be no conversation between us until my friend came back to this stupid cruise of yours. Do
you understand me?" Emily snapped and picked her laptop from the sunchair, she was about to walk
away but Alexandrios grabbed her hand and made her hand.
"You are not going anywhere, Is it in my hand that she went missing. My friend is also missing. I am
worried about him as well but that doesn't mean I would stop taking everything else for granted Emily. I
am angry at the situation too but that doesn't mean I will start taking it out on other people. I am trying
to talk to you but you kept giving me the cold shoulder, goddamnit!"
Emily swallowed the heaviness in her throat. She knew what she was doing was wrong but she was
getting too attached to him and this scared her.
Unlike her friends she didn't come from a rich background and she didn't want herself to get hurt again.
And getting emotionally attached with someone who was just having fun with her would hurt her.
Casual sex was okay, but getting involved with a billionaire who lived a jet-set life was what made her
toes curled in anxiety.
"Please let me go!" She said and jerked out of his hold. Before Alexandrios could even utter a word she
walked away from him and once she reached her cabin she left a long depressing breath.
"That SOB! I won't leave him, Em…"
Susan stopped yelling when her eyes landed on Emily's ashen face. "Now what happened to you?"
Emily shook her head. "It's nothing…"
"Shut the fu*k up with you it's nothing and tell me what happened?"
"It's Alexandrios, he tried talking with me again and I walked out on him."
Susan remained silent for a while and then darted towards her. "I know we only suffer each other and
you find me a little rude but I think you should move on from Victor. He was a scumbag and if you like
this Russian billionaire then there is no harm in trying."
"I don't want anyone to take me as a charity case, Susan. I recall how everyone thought I was lucky
because Victor was rich and I was not…"
"Move on, Em! You like Alexandrios from day one. I know that. Aurora knows that, so do me a favour
and don't cheat on yourself."
Emily looked at the window, only if someone could understand the pain of becoming a laughing stock in
University because you fell in love with a rich man. She agreed for casual sex. She liked Alexandrios
and when she saw him for the first time she made a complete fool of herself but still, she was not ready
to face the same humiliation again.
Meanwhile, Aurora was sitting inside a small cabin on the motorboat. "You want something madam,
tea, coffee." A girl asked.
Aurora politely declined. She kept staring at the blue ocean water. Liam was with the captain, talking to
him and she was happy that he was nowhere near her.
Only four days and it felt like an eternity. She touched the ring on her finger. Her engagement ring but
today she didn't feel that same happiness she used to feel.
The ring felt wrong on her finger today. Aurora closed her eyes and a few tears rolled down her cheeks.
oh mom, I just wish you would have been here today. I am lost without you.
The motorboat stopped and the captain helped Aurora to step out of the boat. Her eyes went to Liam
who was talking to someone over the phone. She looked away. Aurora wanted nothing except for
meeting her friend and calling her father. She was about to walk away but Liam grabbed her hand.
"Goodbye, wife. See you soon!" He whispered but he forgot that unlike that island here she was not
alone.
She snatched her hand away. "I don't want to see your face again, Mr Knight. I just want to forget that I
ever met a man like you. You don't exist for me, not anymore, so you may live in hell for all I care,"
saying that she left.
Liam only smirked. "Oh, darling, I don't live in hell, I rule over it. And as far as forgetting me is
concerned, I am carved in your fate, wife."
Liam knew that his father was waiting for him so without wasting a single second he went to his office
and found Ryan sitting on his chair.
"Good evening, Dad." Liam drawled and Ryan glared at the direction of Liam's voice.
Ryan sighed seeing Liam calm and composed. "Don't ever do something without sharing it with me
first. Do you understand?" He gritted out and Liam only smiled.
"He wants to meet you. So stop smiling and tell me what are you going to tell him because now that his
daughter is safe, his mind started working again. He has doubts over you. Ethan asked me how did you
end up on an island with his daughter?"
"Ethan King, you always made me your fan," Liam said while shaking his head.
"I will tell him the truth, dad. I gather he saw what I was trying to show him or why would he order his
man to kill that restaurant owner."
"Let's hope he won't take it as an insult Liam. I don't want any problem with him. Friendship aside, our
business will suffer greatly if things get bad."
