Chapter 53.
Chapter 53.
Aurora was staring at herself in the mirror. She washed all the dirt over her body. The warm water
soothed her skin and she once again felt like herself.
She was scared and angry for believing a man who was playing with her. Aurora was the kind of girl
who, if accept a person in her life, would overlook his mistakes and bad things.
That's why there are not many people in her life, yes she was a sensation on social media but she
chose what she wanted to do. She was her own owner, no one can state them for her.
She believes in loving unconditionally. She loves her father, her friends and Gabe. She thought Liam
was her friend because he saved her life. He saved her life when they were not on good terms. She
even wanted to hook him with her friend Susan but he was playing with Aurora.
"He has some serious mental illness and I better stay away from him. I need to be calm because
everything will be over once I reach the cruise."
Aurora looked at the white bathrobe and stepped out wearing it. It was too large for her petite body and
trails on the white marble floor while she walked out.
Her stomach grumbled once again demanding food. For the last four days, all she ate was those
tasteless fishes while Liam was enjoying the good food. There was no need to ask the kitchen's
direction. The aroma of coffee and bacon was enough to tell it.
She walked to the kitchen and her mouth widened open. It was filled with groceries. From fruits to
vegetables. Nuts to cereals and meat to bread everything was available.
"This whole incident was planned by him, he lied about not knowing how we both ended up in that
lifeboat. Bloody liar!" She muttered under her breath and made coffee for herself.
People might think that just because she was the daughter of billionaire Ethan King she was a brat and
the servants do all her work but that's not the case.
Yes, she has everything one can wish for but after her mother's demise, Mrs Dolan always made sure
she learned basic culinary skills.
Aurora's eyes watered remembering her mother and Mrs Dolan. She missed her father, missed his
comforting fatherly smell. She knew her father would have moved heaven and earth to find her.
She also knew that if she told her father about Liam he would not leave him. He will punish him for
hurting her and she wanted to tell him. Really want to see Liam being punished for how he treated her
here.
Still, she decided to hide it from her father for two reasons. One, she wanted to forget that a man like
Liam ever existed in her life. She wanted to close the chapter once and for all and not to mention she
still felt gratitude towards him for saving her life. She was angry and hurt but still, she couldn't stop
herself from.feeling like that.
Second, she knew that Liam's dad was her father's friend. On many occasions, she heard Ethan talk
about him and she didn't want to be the reason for ending their friendship.
She didn't care what everyone else thought but for her," friends are for life." That's what her mother
taught her and she believed her whole life.
Friends! She chuckled, shaking her head. She was lucky to have friends who would rather die before
hurting her. She was glad that unlike her father at least she had friends who genuinely loved her.
"I just wish I would never see your face again after this fiasco, Liam Knight or no matter what I will ask
my dad to punish you for what you did. I just wish that's the end of your craziness because I won't let
any gratitude or anything hold me back anymore."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Meanwhile, Ethan received the call from his friend Ryan. Thomas was sitting in front of him receiving
every detail from his men in Vancouver who were searching for Aurora.
"I want the news to be good only, Ryan or I would paint your city red with blood," Ethan warned Ryan
who somehow managed to retort back.
Liam was right the man became insatiable when his daughter was concerned.
"I found your daughter, Ethan. She is safe and sound, with my son on an island. I have sent a
motorboat to rescue them both. My son protected your daughter Ethan," Ryan said the last part to point
out what Liam was capable of doing.
Ethan's eyes shrieking, "and how did they end up on that island, Ryan?"
"I don't know yet, I am waiting for Liam to come back but as promised your daughter is safe in my
territory and more importantly it was my son, whose offer you declined kept your daughter safe. Now
that all things are said. Goodbye pal."
Ryan ended the call without hearing what Ethan was about to say. Yeah, friendship in the mafia does
have a limit and now this power game which his son started with an obsession with Ethan's daughter.
Ethan king on the other hand threw his phone on the mahogany desk in anger. "Aurora is safe. She is
with Liam on an island but Ryan took it as an insult when I denied his proposal."
Thomas raised a brow. "I was right Ethan. Liam is the right choice for our Aurora."
Ethan leaned back in his chair and linked his fingers together. "That restaurant owner, Gabe? How
much time till you settle his matters, Thomas?"
" I sent some men to his restaurant but he gotta live a few more days. He was not available. Don't
stress over him
He will be dealt with."
Thomas leaned forward and started into Ethan's eyes. "Agree to this alliance with Liam, Ethan. It's
good for Aurora and business both. Ryan clearly hinted that he is still open about his proposal. Don't let
this chance go."
Ethan closed his eyes, his daughter was his life. She was the sole reason he was living and her
happiness was all he wanted. "I already told you. I will accept it but I want to meet Liam before that. He
needed to answer some of my questions before I officially said yes, Thomas. I want to know-how did
my daughter end up on an island with Liam?"
Ethan opened his eyes and started in his friend's eyes.
" I want to know if it was his plan because I understand Liam well enough to understand his twisted
mind." Ethan nodded at Thomas, his eyes determined.
"And d what if you didn't like his answer, Ethan?"
Ethan didn't reply to the question with his words but with a smirk on his face.
Even Thomas couldn't understand the meaning behind that smirk…
something precious on that stupid Island, Aurora!"
Aurora only nodded her head. What else could she do when she had no idea what she was sad about?
"Aurora, I know it might take a little time for you to get on the terms of...you know being separated from
Gabe but trust me, girl, you will love this independence."
Aurora glanced at her naked finger. Is it even about Gabe? She thought.
Once again she left a long miserable sigh. "I want to think about my career now. What happened here
when j was away? Have they decided about my design?"
