Love Wins Over Lust

Chapter 16

He could see the look of shock on her face. She frowned. "Have you started to trust me now?"

Liam once again caressed her lower lip before shaking his head. "Not really, Little one. But I want to

see the depth of your love. Here is your phone, you can call your uncle and tell him everything or you

can choose to stay with me, forever, Little one."

Aurora stared at him for a long minute.

She had her liberty in her hands. Her uncle would come and nothing would be able to stop him from

taking her with him, her father would get fine soon. She glanced at the phone in her hand, she was

about to curl her fingers around the phone but stopped when Liam's words hit her ears.

"But remember Little one. If you chose to tell him about us then your father is in a very private

hospital…"

Aurora's heart stopped for a second. He was playing with her mind. She tried to look unaffected by the

threat of his words and smaller her uncle's number.

Their gazes were locked with each other. Liam's eyes sharpened as he continued gazing into her

ocean blue eyes. Aurora waited for Thomas to accept the call, she was excited to hear the voice of her

uncle after a week. Happiness shot through her nerves when his voice sounded from the other end.

"Aurora?"

"How are you doing uncle and How is Mrs Dolan?" She asked, her throat turning heavy with bubbled

emotions.

, Aurora?"

She sniffed. "Yes, uncle. I am absolutely fine," she raised her eyes and fixed them on Liam. "Liam is

taking care of me." She said looking into his eyes. "Uncle have you met, Dad? How is he doing?"

Liam's gaze sharpened. He took a step forward but Aurora kept her eyes locked on him, she didn't

react in any way when she saw him move. "You don't know?"

She shook her head, as if Thomas could see her. "No, I have not met him, I don't have the power to

see him in a hospital bed. Liam is keeping a record of his death information. He is not letting me take

any stress. Uncle, I want to hear it from you, please tell me how Dad is doing?"

"He is recovering well, Aurora. We will hear the good news soon. Liam has appointed the team of the

best doctors for Ethan. He is in a private ward under tight security from Liam."

Aurora's heart thumped, heavily "I know Dad will be fine soon, uncle. Liam would not let anything

happen to him, Aurora said it with so much confidence in her eyes that Liam's body stiffened.

She swallowed. " I will call you later uncle. Please take care of yourself and Mrs Dolan. I don't have

anyone except for you two anymore."

Aurora heard Thomas clearing his throat. "Goodbye, Love. Take care of yourself and if you need

anything, give me a call."

She smiled, her eyes still on her husband who was looking at her with hawk eyes. "My husband is here

to take care of me, Uncle. But I will call you again soon. Good night," saying that she ended the call.

Aurora took a deep breath. She grabbed Liam's hand and put her phone in his palm. " I didn't tell him

about you caging me in your room and how badly you are treating me because I want us to be

together. Because I love you. I asked him about my father because I am worried about his health and

you don't share anything about him. I am ready to fight for our relationship Liam. I am not scared of

you, I love you," she said looking straight into his eyes.

Liam kept staring at her but she turned around and tried to walk away but Liam grabbed her neck and

pulled her back. She gasped at his action and Liam put his lips on hers.

He wanted to consume her whole, her lips, her scent, more importantly, her words intoxicated his mind.

He was dominating her tongue. Aurora, as startled by his action, grabbed his shoulder and her hand

roamed to his hair, she kissed him back with equal prominence but when his kiss made her breathless

she pushed his chest a little, telling him without words that she couldn't breathe.

Liam left her and took a sharp breath.

Aurora swallowed. "You hurt me today," once again she tried to leave but Liam didn't allow her and

pulled her closer. "So you really love me? How much Aurora?"

She gritted her jaw. "Is there any way to measure love, Liam? What is the use of answering you when

you won't believe me? I begged you, cried in front of you, I even forgave you for your deception but I

don't know what you want from me anymore," she wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.

She pushed him in the chest and went to the bathroom leaving an angry Liam behind her. He fisted his

hands and punched the wall hard. Liam Knight was losing his mind seeing her tears. Her tears twisted

his heart, badly. His heart didn't want to see her tears, it ached when she cried but his mind. It warned

him not to do the same mistake his father did once. His mind warned him not to fall into the trap of

Love. It makes a man blind and hurts him when he doesn't expect to be hurt.

Liam walked out of the room. He needed to get away from her.

Liam took his car and started driving aimlessly. He was losing his insanity, the man who didn't let any

emotion affect his mind was getting affected by his wife's tears and he hated it.

Liam applied the brake and screamed in anger. He didn't want to feel this way for Aurora, he reminded

himself that she was nothing but a need for him. Her importance lies in her being Ethan's heir. She was

a purchased wife, a business deal and nothing else.

But his heart screamed that she was much more than that. Liam couldn't run away from the truth

anymore, not from himself at least.

Liam Knight loves his wife. He was infatuated by her when he saw her picture for the first time, it was

her beauty which affected him initially, then her sharp tongue and not to mention her ego. She became

an obsession for Liam, a sign for his victory over Ethan King but now, she was much more than a

purchased bride, she was much more than a business deal.The girl had done what no other girl could

do, she made Liam Knight fall in love with her.

He used to say that he will make her his mind. Body and soul but today it was Liam who became hers,

Mind. Body. And Soul.

But the realisation didn't give him happiness, no it made him angry at himself. He fell for the same trap

his father fell years ago and regretted it later.

Love was the emotion that made his father kill his mother and he lived without her. He grew up with

only one thought in mind, with only one dream, Ruling over the Mafia. He didn't allow anything or

anyone to come in his way, no emotion, no relation, till now but not anymore. Aurora Had conquered

his heart, it was his mind she couldn't conquer!

He opened the door and stepped out. It was close to midnight now, only a few cars could be seen from

afar. The road was almost empty, the area was secluded, rarely anyone comes there. Liam stared at

the star in the sky. "What have you done, Little one, what have you done?" He muttered in anger

touching his heart. Liam felt his heart picking speed when Aurora's face flashed in front of his eyes. His

body jerked and his mind ordered him not to think about her anymore. Liam agreed to listen to his mind

because his heart was making him insane. He turned around and was about to open the door of his car

when his eyes went to a scar on the back of his hand. She had scratched it yesterday morning when

she was running after slapping him.

Liam's heart overpowered his mind, once again her words rang in his ear. The way she told him that

one day he would trust her, there was nothing but pure determination in her eyes and voice. Liam

trailed the scar on his hand and a smile came to his lips recalling the wild morning sex.

It all happened suddenly, a red dot shined in the mirror of the car and then it was on his chest, Liam

went haywire and moved before the bullet could hit him. The rain of bullets didn't stop after that, it

continued, Liam cursed in his mind, he was stuck. A bullet shot through the rear mirror of the car.

He pulled out his gun from the back of his pants and sat silently against the car, without making any

sound. He didn't move or fire, and waited for someone to come and check on him.

The bullets were still flying in the air.

"Come on, come on!" He muttered under his breath, Liam's mind was fixed on only one thought who

would dare to attack Liam Knight in his city.

His hands itched to kill, he wanted to taste the blood of the person to kill him. It was not a warning

shooting, no, if it would have been that they would have left till now. The men were here to kill Liam but

it would be them who were going to die, not Liam. It was not easy to kill Liam Knight.

The bullets didn't stop, it kept shooting. Liam didn't buzz but he was losing patience to sit calmly.

Finally, after one more round of firing, his patience paid off and Liam heard the sound of footsteps. His

nose flared, the death of these men were just a bullet away, his mind and eyes focussed on his aim

and the moment the man reached the corner, Liam shot, right in his head.

He heard a loud shriek and the other men started shooting once again. A bullet passed his face, Liam

moved in less than a nanosecond saving himself and shot the man who fired on him. He was dead the

moment Liam's bullet hit his heart. Two men were dead, one was left.

Liam laid down beside the car and shot. He covered his head with his hand to protect it from the flying

bullets to his car. Liam shot his hand first, the man was determined for his blood but it would be his

blood which would spill not Liam's but he wanted the man alive. Liam wanted to know the name of the

man who attacked.

The list of his enemies was too long to guess but the names which topped the list were Mexicans, The

Masked Man and Dmitry. It could be anyone but Liam's mind went to these three.

Liam frowned when the shooting suddenly stopped. His mind warned that the other man was playing

the same trick he played on them first but Liam was not going to let him do it.

Liam didn't wait anymore, he stood up with lightning speed, pressing the trigger before the other person

could shoot and the bullet hit that man's shoulder. He screamed and shot aimlessly and the bullet hit

the fuel tank and a loud blast happened.

Liam's back burnt badly, he fell on the road due to the proximity of the car. When Liam raised his eyes

the man was long gone. Liam screamed in anger and punched the road. Liam's back was aching, still,

he managed to stand up. He watched his car turn into charcoal. Liam's mind was raging in anger, he

needed to know who attacked him and then finish that brutally.

Liam searched for his phone and called his brother. Ralph was shocked hearing Liam's words. He

came to him as soon as possible. Things had gone far too wrong for Liam's liking.

"You need to see a doctor," Ralph said but Liam shook his head. He was losing his mind, he took over

the chair of the Canadian Mafia today and someone tried to kill him. He wanted to demolish the person

responsible for it.

"I don't need a doctor, I need the man responsible for it."

Ralph nodded, he understood that at this moment, Liam was over the top furious. He was not less than

a ticking time bomb. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Now the question arises who attacked Liam?
