Emily nodded, finally deciding to join in the conversation. "Yes, you won and the thieves were punished
by the judges. They are officially out of this contest now leaving only us and one more of the
contestants."
"How did they get caught up?" Aurora asked.
"Apparently, there were videos of Evelyn hiding your design in her coat and she got caught up. Hence
proven she stole your design from our cabin while I was bathing."
Emily opened the zip of her handbag. "Oh, and Alexandrios returned your necklace." She handed
Aurora her necklace back but Alexandrio's name felt like a ting in her chest. A sharp pinch!
Aurora touched her mother's necklace. Her eyes blurred with emotions. "Thank you." She whispered
hoarsely.
I wish you were here Mom. I need you the most now!
"Alright now, I think we should…" Susan strtae but stopped when she felt her phone buzz.
"Fuck!" She cursed under her breath when she recognized the caller ID. Susan shifted her gaze to
Emily and signalled to her that they needed to talk through her eyes. Emily understood it at once.
"Aurora, do you mind going to our room and bringing a tampon for me. I think it's the time of the month
and I didn't have anything on me."
"No, not at all. Wait, I think I have a sanitary pad with me…"
"Oh no! I don't use pads, you know that. Just go and bring me a tampon please girl."
Aurora didn't need to be told twice; she stood at once and ran towards the elevator. Emily sighed and
turned her head to Susan.
"What now? Don't tell me he texted you again."
"That Son of bitch warned me that once he gets to know where we are he is going to make me bar
from Aurora's life."
"That's what I was scared about. Look Susan I just want that we won't come to the point where I had to
say 'I told you so,' so, I think we should tell Aurora what exactly we did. She thought that Gabe didn't
call or text her a single time when the truth is that there was not a single hour when he had not texted
or called her."
Susan raised her eyes and glared at her. "Emily, I am telling you I don't trust this man at all and as far
as Aurora is concerned I know she is over him now. Gabriel James holds no more value in her life…"
We will do no such thing. What I did was right, look at her now. She finally saw the reason. She broke
her engagement with that narcissist.."
Emily shook her head. "No Susan, she broke her engagement with Gabe because she thought he
didn't care when we both know that's not the case. That man was going insane not knowing where
Aurora is! I love her too but I respect her privacy and intelligence. You had no right to interfere…"
"Wow! Don't forget you also helped me with this."
"And I am not denying it but I was never in favour of taking it this far…"
Before Susan could speak her cell phone buzzed again. And once again a crisp curse left her mouth
seeing the caller ID. Susan fisted her hand and accepted the call.
"Where is Aurora?" He gritted out in anger.
"She doesn't want you anymore, Gabe so stays away from her and you know what she found someone
far better than you who unlike you doesn't control her or degrade herein her own eyes. She broke
every tie she was with you so do yourself a favour, leave her alone and move on."
Emily gasped in horror. "Susan!"
But Susan was not listening to her or Gabriel. "You…" Susan didn't bother herself to hear him and
ended the call.
Meanwhile, Gabriel kept staring at the mobile phone in his hand in anger and frustration. He couldn't go
to Aurora because he didn't know where she was exactly.
"What happened Son?" His uncle asked Gabe, placing a glass of scotch on the wooden table.
Gabriel pinched his lips in a thin line. "I can't fail, Aurora. Uncle. I failed everyone else but she is the
reason for my life now. I can't afford to lose Aurora…" Gabe replied as his phone screen came to life
with a pop-up notification. He slid it away and the wallpaper of Aurora and himself appeared on the
screen. He touched her beautiful face and sighed.
"She gave a reason to my life." Gabriel said while still staring at her face.
"Has my dear nephew fallen in love?" His uncle asked to which Gabe only smiled. "I gave her the ring,
we are engaged now."
"I know you don't want to be stuck with me nephew but I can't allow you to leave me. Not yet at least!"
Gaberial touched his shoulder in understanding. "I understand and I won't leave you alone either uncle.
This is your tough time, our family's tough time. Aurora is mad about me, whatever her infuriating friend
says I trust her that she won't do anything wrong. I will go to her as soon as all these problems with Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
these bastards are over but till then you have my back."
"Thanks son!"
I trust you Aurora, don't break my trust, darling!
On the other hand, Liam tightened the knot of his tie before stepping out of the limousine. His brother
Ralph was waiting at the hotel entrance to welcome him to Churchill.
"Welcome, brother." Ralph said, bumping their hands together. Liam nodded, "anything I should know
before meeting my would-be father in law?"
Ralph chuckled before answering. "Ethan is a wise man, Liam. He respects dad and his friendship. I
hope you understand what's at the stake if something goes out of hand."
Liam knew too well. After all , his dream of ruling over Canada was at stake. His grand plans depend
upon this agreement and he would be damned if he would let anything or anyone come between him
and his dream.
"Don't worry about it and tell me, what happened to that restaurant owner? Have you handled the
situation?"
Ralph shook his head slightly. "Nope, not yet. He went missing but he was last on my list of troubles
right now," Ralph answered walking beside his brother but Liam halted in his steps hearing Ralph.
"What do you mean list of troubles?"
"The Mexicans are giving him trouble. I mean big trouble, Liam. His drug shipment was robbed two
days ago while he was busy finding his daughter. Fifty million dollars of drugs went off his hand. Things
are bad for Ethan, real bad."
Liam frowned. "Juan?" He asked.
"Exactly! Juan. Since Ethan killed Antonio things went haywire here…"
As if there could be better news than this. Liam was practically smirking now, because Ethan has no
other option left except for Saying yes to his offer.
Aurora Kings, Your knight in the shining armor is just a yes away from you!
