Married to the Mafia Boss

Aurora sat in front of the mirror while the beauticians were checking the dress she was wearing for her Reception tonight. She didn’t want to celebrate her marriage. What was there to celebrate, abuse, deception or fake love?

“Which color do you want to wear, Mrs Knight?” Robin, one of the beauticians asked in a soft tone. Even though the beauticians were doing their work, Aurora felt irritated with everyone there.

She eyed the red-haired beautician, Sonia, who was holding a beautiful red dress. Aurora fisted her hands and stood up. “I am not wearing this dress,” she said and went to check the other dresses. She wanted to wear something which angered Liam.

He married her against her wishes and in his own words, as he everytime put it to her, ‘Actions have consequences,’ so now, he was going to suffer the consequences of marrying Aurora Kings.

Aurora chose the dress and showed it to the beauticians. “This is what I want to wear,” she said with a wide smile.

The beauticians went blank seeing the dress. They glanced at one another and then at Aurora. “But, Mrs Knight, it’s your reception and the color…”

Aurora was ready for this. “This is my favourite color and the dress is beautiful too. Shall we start now.”

Robin and Sonia nodded at her. “If you want to wear this then we can’t say anything.”

“Absolutely right!” She said in a bitchy tone. Spoiled brat he called her now she would show everyone what a real spoiled brat looks like.

Aurora spent the next three hours of her day with the beauticians, they did everything to enhance Aurora’s beauty, not that she needed it, she was already beautiful but after the makeup, she looked even more gorgeous.

When Aurora looked at her reflection in the mirror she was impressed by them.

“Madam, Mr Knight called to ask if you are ready or not?” Paulina asked, even though she tried to hide it but Aurora could see the shock on her face. The beauticians left with a smile at Aurora.

Aurora fisted her hand. The idiot had snatched her phone and was not giving it back. She was going to make him pay for that too. “I am ready, Paulina, where is Mr Knight?”

“Sir will be here soon, Madam,” she replied, eyeing Aurora one more time before walking downstairs. Exactly after half an hour, she heard Liam’s voice from outside the door.

She couldn’t wait for him to enter and see the dress she was wearing, she wanted to enjoy his stunned face.

Liam ended the call and entered his room to get dressed into a tuxedo for the reception. The reception was an important event for him. It was a warning for his enemies so he wanted everything to be perfect. But when his eyes settled on his wife he was in one hell of a shock.

The girl was dressed beautifully, not for the reception but for the funeral. She was wearing a black dress with black gloves and black heels.

His eyes burned with rage. “What the hell are you wearing?” He roared in anger.

Aurora flashed a soft smile on her lips. “It’s pretty, right. I chose it myself, you didn’t tell me how I am looking?”

Liam gritted his jaw and sprinted towards her. “Have you lost your mind? Is this what you are wearing for our reception. Black!”

Aurora raised her brows. “Yea why not? I think it’s a perfect choice as it reflects my mood perfectly. That’s how I feel about this marriage, So I decided to wear a mourning dress.”

Liam grabbed her face. ” A mourning dress, who are you mourning, Aurora?”

She met his gaze, her eyes burning with anger. “I am mourning over my fate that I met you. I am mourning this marriage which is bound to be doomed in future.”

Liam blinked his eyes to control his anger. His hands twitched, he craved to kill someone to soothe the burning desire to see blood. He wanted to control his anger but it proved to be a hard-luck for him. Every minute with her felt like a war he was fighting with himself.

He glanced at the wall clock. He didn’t have time to waste, “Go and dress into something else.”

“Why? It took me more than three hours to get ready. I am not ruining my perfect make up or dress because you asked me to do,” she said, her eyes went to the wall clock “and let’s be real, it would take me almost five hours to dress up again because I have to do the whole look again, till then it would be close to ten and I don’t think you want people to gossip about us.”

Liam shrank his eyes. He understood what she was trying to do, he pulled her closer to him, ” you are right, I don’t want people to gossip about us, so we are going to attend our reception in this dress. You want to mourn our marriage, Little one. Let’s do it. ”

Aurora frowned. She expected him to shout, scream and tell her to change the dress. But she didn’t expect him to agree with her, not this soon at least.

It took him merely fifteen minutes to change into a tuxedo, the man looked perfect without even trying. Yes, Liam Knight was that handsome and when Aurora’s eyes went to him, she inhaled sharply, the man was a treat to look at, not to mention that spicy cologne he used. Aurora swallowed the lump that formed in her throat by looking at him.

She scolded herself for getting attracted to him when he only played with her emotions.

He is a cruel lying deceptive animal, Aurora, don’t let yourself lose.

“Come little one, let’s mourn this marriage together,” he said with a smirk and that smirk was enough for creating haywire in Aurora’s mind.

He was planning something, she knew it then and she feared that whatever he planned to do was going to hit her hard.

Liam kept clenching and unclenching his hands. He was barely controlling his anger. She wanted to show her stubbornness. He was going to teach her the lesson she would never forget.

Aurora’s heart was beating an uneven rhythm. She wanted to show him that he forced her to marry him but he couldn’t break her. She was still the same, Aurora King who had sky under her feet. She was Ethan King’s daughter and no one could break her but now everything seemed vague.

They reached the venue, Aurora eyed the place, it was a beautifully decorated garden with the white and golden theme. Aurora eyed her dress and swallowed, suddenly she lost all her courage.

Liam opened the door for Aurora and offered his hand like a gentleman. Aurora looked at that hand suspiciously. “Come, little one, I can’t wait to introduce you to everyone.”

They entered the venue, the guests who were smiling and chatting till now fell silent and their smiles turned into frowns. Aurora didn’t like the attention on her, she was the bride, of course, the attention was going to be on her but this was a different kind of attention, the one she didn’t want on herself. She planned this dress to insult him in front of his guests but it was she who was feeling embarrassed now.

Ryan Knight eyed his son, the threat he received from Thomas was still lurking over his mind. He was going to make her feel comfortable in his city but seeing Aurora in a black dress he was enraged. Why did she wear this funeral dress?

He went to the couple and forced a smile, “welcome, son,” he said to Liam and then turned to his daughter in law, “Aurora, you look different!” He murmured, glancing at Liam.

Aurora smiled. She might be anxious but she was not going to show it to her face. She planned this now she was going to execute it, if she had come this far they why not face the devil head-on.

“I take it as a compliment, Mr Knight,” she said with a fake smile, “I wonder if you are as deceptive as your son is!” She couldn’t help but jab at him. Even the thought of Ryan being involved with his son in this deception made her nauseous.

Liam fisted his hand at her words while Ryan scowled. “And I take it as a compliment,” he looked at Liam once again, “I think your wife is angry about something, what is it?”

“Nothing, she wanted to mourn our marriage, dad and I allowed it. If she wants to mock herself in front of hundreds of people then who am I to stop her. She was representing her father’s name here and in this dress, she was not mourning me but her father’s reputation.”

Aurora stiffened at the weight of his words, their eyes met each other and she saw triumph in his gaze. The mocking gaze irritated her and she curled her fingers tightly inside her palms.

“Liam, she is your wife, treat her with respect,” Ryan said but Liam chuckled at that. “It’s funny coming from you,” Liam said with a chuckle.

“Let’s start this charade,” he mumbled, grabbing Aurora’s hand and kissing it for the show. When Aurora tried to snatch her hand Liam warned her with his eyes and took her with him to mingle with people. Once again, Liam put on a brilliant show among the people.

“What an odd choice of color for receptions, Mrs Knight,” a socialiat whose name Aurora didn’t know, muttered, taking a sip from champagne, she was looking at Liam with a slanted lustful gaze.

Aurora wanted to snatch that woman’s eyes. She was commenting on her dress while she herself was wearing a good for nothing dress which left nothing to the imagination. Aurora wondered who the woman was, in her father’s parties no woman like her was allowed.

Bad for her that Aurora had been handling social climbers like her for a long time, she smiled at her, “I dress up for myself not for other’s joy.”

The smile on her face evaporated, she glared at Aurora and moved away from them. “This shows your guests are just like you, cheap.”

Before Liam could say anything Ryan asked them to cut the cake and do their first dance together. Aurora’s eyes perked with tears, recalling her dreams.

She barely managed to control her tears when they cut the three-tier cake and did their first dance.

The neon lights and fake graphics around them beautify the dance floor but Aurora was close to tears. “Recalling your fantasies, little one, my offer still stand.”

Aurora gritted her jaw in anger when she looked at his face. There nothing but mockery on his face. Aurora wanted nothing else to end the song. But she was out of luck because the next person she had to dance was Liam’s father.

“I know you are missing, Ethan, Aurora but I am your father’s friend, he gave me the responsibilityy of your protection. You can share anything with me as you used to do with Ethan. You are like a daughter to me.”

Aurora swallowed. “I hate your son, he forced this marriage on me, he lied to me, can you do something about it? If it had been my dad instead of you, he would have ruined your son for treating me like this, can you do the same, Mr Knight?”

Ryan scowled. “No, you cant, so don’t compare yourself with my father. You and your son both are involved in this deception and once my dad is back to normal, I promise I will make your son pay for everything he did to me.”

The song ended and Aurora walked away from Ryan and took a glass of liquor from the passing server, in anger she gulped the whole glass in one go.

Liam was talking to someone, the same girl who Aurora scolded was standing beside him, giving him the same flirty looks. Liam was tolerating that woman because she was the politician’s daughter, he was an important man who helped Liam in business. But when the girl keot touching him, he glared at the man who understood that Liam was getting angry. He cleverly took his infatuated daughter away from Liam but when Liam’s eyes went to Aurora his blood boiled seeing her flirting with another man.

Aurora didn’t like Ihen she saw the barely dressed girl touching Liam but what more irkdwd her was Liam was smiling at the girl too, she didn’t know why but she hated it.

She fisted her hands and went to the man standing beside her, she went to him and started talking to him.

“Oh you must be kidding me, I am not that beautiful,” the liquor started working in her senses and Aurora was out of control. She giggled flirting with the man.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“You are Mrs Knight…” before he could speak any further Liam came there snd grabbed Aurora’s waist tightly. “Shall we go back to home, Mrs Knight.”

Aurora scowled. “No, I want to meet people and talk to them. See, I was in between of an important conversation, you interrupted us,” she said and smiled at the man again.

Liam didnt like it, he was going to kill the man, but before that he needed to handle his wife. “If you don’t want me to punish you, Little one, then come with me.”

Aurora rolled her eyes. “I don’t care about you, I want to talk to this man.”

Liam glared at the man who understood at once that he was dismissed. He left without a word.

Liam glared at Aurora and went near to her ear. To others it looked as if he was teasing his wife, but Liam was warning her.

“You will pay for this. Little one!”
