Married to the Mafia Boss

“Aurora?” Emily searched for her friend and just as Susan mentioned she was crying.

“Why are you punishing yourself and Susan like this, baby girl?” Emily asked, hugging her close to herself. Aurora sobbed in her arms like a child. “Stop this torture and talk to her Aurora.”

Aurora shook her head in her arms. “No,” she sniffed and broke the hug. “I have to be strict with her this time, Emily. I love her but she can’t meddle in my business all the time.”

Emily nodded. “What did you talk to Gabriel about? Did you finally break up with him?” She asked.

Aurora nodded. “Yes, it’s officially over,” She glanced at her friend. She wanted to share the happy news with Susan first, Aurora knew that it was going to hurt Susan. She also knew that Emily would share it with her, she was going to be their connection till Susan learned about her boundaries.

Emily sighed. “Look, I understand your point of view but you have to agree it’s because of Susan you came out of that unhappy relationship.”

” I am with Liam now. I accepted his proposal.”

Emily gasped, her hand went to her mouth. “Are you telling me that you are marrying him?”

“No!” She replied astounded. “Of course, I am not marrying him this soon, I have learnt my lesson, Em. Although he proposed, I denied saying I want to date him first and not jump into the fire like before.”

Emily shook her head. “I am happy for you, Aurora. I am so very happy for you, my dear friend,” she hugged Aurora.

“Em, share this with Susan as well but don’t let her know I asked you to do it. I know she wanted me to be with Liam. She would be happy to know this.”

Emily rolled her eyes. “I don’t understand any of you, here you are caring about her while she is asking me to take care of you. Why don’t you just forgive whatever she did and spare me with all the hard work.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Aurora sighed but didn’t bother with a reply. “Thank you for respecting my privacy, Em. Thank you for always respecting my wishes.”

Emily felt guilty hearing Aurora. She wanted to tell her about the role she played in the conspiracy but she couldn’t. Not when both her friends needed her but she promised herself that the day Aurora solved all her issues with Susan she would tell her everything no matter what punishment she decided for her.

“Keep her company tonight, I will be meeting Liam in the evening.”

“Ooh! He asked for a date?” She teased Aurora who shook her head.

“No, this time I have decided to be the real me in my relationship, Emily. I want to see how he would handle my chirpy side. I don’t want to pretend to be someone else. If we have a single chance of being together our whole life then Liam has to accept all the mood swings that come with me.”

Emily shook her head. “I will pray for our boss then,” she whispered and they both chuckled. Aurora was already missing Susan but it needed to be done.

“I love you, Susan,” she mumbled, touching her necklace. “I am sorry for hurting your goddaughter mom but I didn’t have any other option left.”

Aurora managed to resume working on her new design. It was difficult for her to concentrate on it after she emotionally burst out, but somehow finished it. She called Kevin to get the design finalist so that she could show it to Liam. The boss!

Kevin was okay with the design and asked her to go to Liam for the finalization of it into their catalogue. Kevin Rawls didn’t like how Liam took off his liberty to work but he was the boss and Kevin had to accept what he ordered.

Aurora recalled how professional he behaved in an instant with her. “Time to pay back, Mr Knight!” She mumbled as she knocked on the door and opened it.

Aurora frowned when she didn’t see him inside, “Mr Knight?” She called his name and entered his cabin and suddenly someone yanked her hand before she could make a sound. A hand was put on her mouth to stop her from screaming.

Liam closed and locked the door. Aurora’s eyes widened at his action. She asked him what he was doing through the gesture of her eyes and Liam only smirked in answer.

“I am kidnapping you, Little one.”

The hell!

Aurora was angry at his action. She thought someone was about murder her. She bit into his palm, hard. Liam snatched his hand from her mouth in shock rather than pain. “You stupid bull! I was about to scream bloody murder!”

Liam archer a brow, “did you just call me bull, Mrs Knight?”

“Miss Kings, we are in your office and as you have so genuinely reminded me of you being my boss and my duties as your head designer’s intern, I would rather we behave professionally here Mr knight.”

Liam sharpened his eyes, “but now I want my wife to kiss me,” he threw her against the door and was about to attack her lips when Aurora clamped her hands to his face. “Your girlfriend, not a wife. I will be your wife when I say yes to your ring on my finger, till then-girlfriend.”

An angry beast roared in Liam’s mind. Here he was trying to behave like an idiot lover boy and she was showing tantrums to him. “Should I get on one Knee, Mrs Knight?”

Aurora smiled seeing the seriousness in his eyes. Liam was hurt by her words.

Aww, my poor man!

She linked her arms to his neck and pulled him closer, “you have forty-five days to make me say yes to your proposal, maybe I will yes to you.”

Liam pulled her closer to him. Their gaze fixed on each other. “You have to say yes to me, little one. I have waited like a saint for you.”

“Saint? You were anything but a Saint, Liam. You were my dark beast!” She giggled at the comparison. While Liam’s male part was getting to life seeing her angelic form so near to him.

She was laughing and Liam couldn’t hold himself any longer he placed his lips on hers and kissed the daylight out of her.
