Chapter 75
Aurora and her friend's entered the nightclub. Neon lights and high beat music welcomed them. Susan
shouted in excitement while Aurora was also enjoying the music. It was only Emily who looked a little
distressed but after a while, even she started enjoying the night. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
A server passed by with a tray of alcohol-filled glasses, both Emily and Susan held Aurora's hands to
restrict her from taking the glass. "You guys know that no one was going to let me take it without paying
upfront," she told them shouting over the high beat music.
"I don't trust your hands…" they both shouted at the same time, shared a look and then looked away in
irritation.
Aurora rolled her eyes and nodded. "I promise you both I won't drink. So chill no alcohol for me
tonight."
Emily left her hand and pointed at the corner seat. "Shall we go there?"
"You might have come here to sit but I did not. Let's go and rock the dance floor Aurora." Susan took
her hand and went to the dance floor to lose herself in the night of music and started dancing. Aurora
smiled and joined her as well.
On the other hand, in the VIP section of the dance club, Liam was sitting with his brother Ralph and two
of his best shooters were standing behind them. Not that Liam needed anyone but sometimes it's best
to take precautions especially when one found a wolf trespassing a lion's territory.
And today the wolf was Dmitri Kyschove. The man Liam wants to rip into shreds!
A cigar was dangling in his fingers as he put it between his lips and took a long whoop of it. Alexandrio
was sitting in the middle chair to keep an eye on both of them. Liam was silent, he would not start the
conversation at all, even if he had to sit on this stupid chair the whole night.
Alexandrio sighed and started the conversation. "What's your call, Dmitri? What is the purpose behind
this unplanned meeting?"
Dimitri raised a brow at his brother, "I think you should ask this question to your friend, Alexandrio. He
will tell you the reason behind my call."
Liam leaned back in his chair, leisurely enjoying the irritation and anger of Dmitri. Liam felt the same
way when he refused to assist him with that masked man's identity and whereabouts. They say right
about Karma, what goes around, comes around. A few days back, it was Liam who was asking for his
assistance and now it was Dmitri whose mind was playing havoc with him.
Liam tapped his finger lightly on his thigh, enjoying the agony Dmitri was going through. "I don't know
what you are talking about, Dmitri. Can you be a little more specific?"
Liam's lip tugged a little upward when he saw Dmitri's nose flared. "Don't play these stupid games with
me, I am talking about your upcoming meeting with the Italians. Do you think I would not be able to find
out?"
Alexandria glanced his way, shocked. "What is he talking about, Liam?"
Ralph glances at his brother not sure what game he was playing. When he asked him to arrange a
meeting with the Italian mafia head he thought it would be in secret but here, their Russian alliance
head was sitting and demanding answers from him.
Liam met Dmitri's gaze and smiled. "Even if I decide to meet Italians, what problem do you have with it,
Dimitri?"
"What problem? We have a business together. I don't trust you to share the business information with
them if it benefits you. I know how big of a scoundrel you are!"
Once again, Liam smiled, "how am I any different from you, in this Dmitri? When You are doing the
same thing. I asked for your cooperation and capturing an enemy who has become a nuisance, not for
me but Ethan King as well and you denied it. Straight on the face, do you think only you have the
power to say no? You are wrong. I hold that power too."
Dmitri's eyes flashed. Anger and thirst for blood are visible in his eyes. Alexandrio saw it and before the
meeting could turn into a bloody war he interrupted them.
"Is this about that masked man? Is it what it is?" Alexandrio asked.
Liam nodded, propped his feet on the knee of his other leg and sat down leisurely. "Your brother
refused his cooperation and I have no other option except for allying with the Italians."
"And what about our cooperation Liam? Don't forget, we are major partners in business, both legal and
illegal. You do not only start g a new alliance but break an old one too," Alexandrio started.
"I said about starting a new alliance I never mentioned breaking up ours."
"I don't trust your hollow words anymore!" Dimitri spat.
Liam turned his face to him, "I never said about my alliance with you Dmitri. If anything, I want to kill
you right this second and trust me I will enjoy doing it," he said and an electric shiver ran through his
body when a deadly smile broke on Dmitri's face.
The sparkle in his eyes was enough for Liam to tell that Dmitri wanted the same thing and Liam would
love to enjoy the adventure of it.
"Same goes for me, Liam. I want nothing else than to stab my knife in your heart and give you a painful
death."
Liam raised his brow with a smile, mocking a salute with a tilt of his hand he turned to his friend. "I was
talking about my alliance with you, Alexandrio. I am tolerating him because of you and he is doing the
same for you but till when? I want that masked man dead, he refused so I chose another way. Simple!"
Alexandrio sighed. "If you still…" he started but Dmitri stopped him.
"No, he wants the masked man," Dmitri smiled, "and if he thinks that eating with Italians or forming an
alliance with them is going to help him then be it but let me warn you, Liam," he glared at him, and in a
dark voice said, "if it affects my business in any way, be ready to lose things sacred to you."
Before Alexandrio could speak, Liam spoke up: "you are sitting in my territory and threatening me. You
deserve my respect for it but trust me, Dmitri. No matter how much respect you earn from me, I won't
think twice before shooting the bullet right between your eyes. So don't try to scare me in vain, for
nothing is scarier than me. Not even the devil."
Then with a chuckle, "and just to remind you, I don't give a damn about anything or anyone but myself
Dmitri and when you know how dangerous one can be when he has no one to care for."
Dmitri glanced at Ralph who raised a brow in challenge. Alexandrio tried to calm both of them but
anyone could cut the tension between them with a knife.
On the other hand, Susan's eyes went to the VIP section and she frowned, seeing Liam and Alexandria
there. She glanced at two of her friends and thought about playing cupid. "Aurora, look, who is here? "
Aurora placed her cold drink on the table and turned to look and was shocked to see Lima there. Emily
also glanced and gulped when she saw Alexandrio.
Aurora's heart skipped a beat seeing how handsome he was looking in that black suit. She glanced
around her and found everyone else wearing casual clothes except for the men sitting with Liam. They
all were formally dressed. If it would have been a movie she would say they all are mafias. However,
this was not a movie but real life and here wearing suits in a nightclub doesn't mean they are some
high profile gangsters.
Susan recalled how Gabriel never liked going to nightclubs with Aurora and one time he came with her
they ended up fighting because she forced him to dance and he didn't want it. According to him, Aurora
was trying to chase him to her liking as if an owner trained a dog. He asked him to choose him the way
he was and after that Aurora stopped going to nightclubs. Susan wanted to see how Liam would react
seeing Aurora here.
"Why don't you go and say hello to him?" Susan suggested. Before Aurora could speak Emily jumped.
"No, it's clear from the view that he has company, why disturb him then?"
Aurora nodded. "Emily is right, Susan. See, he has so many people with him. It won't look good."
"Aurora, come on now, I am sure he will like it."
Aurora glanced at him one more time and decided to meet him. "Emily, why don't you join me?"
Emily shook her head but she recalled how Alexandrio blackmailed her. She couldn't take the risk so
she stood up and joined Aurora as they both left to meet Liam and Alexandrio.
It was Dmitri whose eyes went to them both first. Liam followed his gaze and was shocked to see
Aurora there. He cursed in his mind. Even Ralph stiffened beside him when he saw Aurora.
"Liam…" she started while Emily didn't even glance in Alexandrio's direction.
"What are you doing here?" Liam snapped at her. Aurora gasped at his tone, she looked at the men
sitting there, everyone's gaze was on her. "Get out of here, Now!" He grumbled harshly.
Tears of shame blurred her vision, she turned and ran through the stairs, Emily following her. "Aurora
stop!" Emily grabbed her hand and took her to the corner.
"I am a fool, I shouldn't have gone to him. Why did I do that? Emily?" She questioned a tear rolled
down her eye and she wiped it away. "You know what, to hell him and everyone else. Come we are
going to dance our frustration out."
Susan frowned. An angry shiver ran through her body when she saw Aurora turning away and running
down the stairs, "what exactly happened there?"
It was clear from the vision that he didn't like her presence there. A new thought broke in her mind.
Was she doing the right thing, because Gabriel who was just a mere Restaurant owner could hurt
Aurora this much Liam was just another level? She didn't want her friend to suffer anymore.
"Aurora, is everything alright?" She asked when Aurora came there with Emily.
"I want to dance," saying that she went to the dance floor and started moving her body, shaking it with
the beats.
Dimitri was a man who knew very well to read behind the lines. He could sense the protectiveness in
Liam's voice when he asked her to leave.
He was trying to be indifferent to that girl in front of him. What a show he tried to pull. Dimitri was
impressed.
Liam gritted his jaw in anger seeing Aurora there. He couldn't risk Aurora's safety in any way. Dimitri
might be Alexandrio's brother but he didn't trust him.
"A sexy girl she was? Your friend?" Dimitri asked with a lift of his brow. "Mind, introducing her to me."
Fury ran through his body. The bastard was playing with him; he knew that. If it was some other time
Liam would have not taken the bait. But this time, it was not about any girl, no. Aurora was his
possession and he wouldn't let Dmitri or anyone else think that she could be theirs.
"She is my woman and I advise you to take her name with respect, Dmitri," he said.
Dimitri smirked. "I guess only you think of her as yours because from what I see she is enjoying herself
in the arms of another man."
Liam glanced down and saw her dancing with a man who has his hands all over her back and instead
of throwing him away she was enjoying herself. Liam couldn't see that anymore, he stood up with
lightning speed and sprinted towards them.
"Dance with me, baby." The man said behind Aurora who tried to get out of his grip but then her eyes
went to the VIP area.
"To hell with him," she mumbled and started dancing with the stranger who moved her steps like a
professional. She was enjoying dancing like this, carefree as if nothing mattered but then suddenly the
man ripped away from her.
"What the…" the man tried to hit Liam but Liam grabbed his hand and twisted it behind a disturbingly
painful angel.
"I am sorry, sorry. I will leave…" he begged, Liam left his hand and the man strode away from them as
soon as possible.
Aurora was stunned at his brute behaviour. She tried to walk past him, Liam was already beyond rage
and he grabbed her hand tightly.
"You want to dance, then do it with me."
Aurora tried to free her hand, but in the end, she gave up. "Dance with me, baby girl." He said and
pulled her waist towards him as he started to move with he
"So, the great Liam Knight has a weakness I see…" Dmitri chuckled. "Now, It will be fun to play with
you, Liam knight."
