Married to the Mafia Boss

Aurora was happy, she was genuinely happy today because her friend was coming there. She would have someone she could talk to. Liam agreed to let Susan stay with them. She just wanted her to come there as soon as possible.

“You are shining. So much happiness for your friend.”

She turned and found Liam standing behind her, all dressed up in a blue three-piece suit with a black tie. “I can’t leave this place, all thanks to you. Susan will be a good distraction when I am all alone here living my boring life without anything else to do except for watching the television and reading books.”

Liam shrunk his eyes. “I gave you your phone back…”

“Yesterday, the day before it, I was doing nothing except for watching the walls in our bedroom Liam. I was happy when I didn’t find any guard outside the door. I went out of this room, again I was happy but then Paulina told me that I was allowed to roam around the house all I want but I am not allowed to get out of the house. Allowed, Liam!” She chuckled. “I need your permission to go out like a servant,” she raised her hands. “But I am not complaining, as I told you, nothing is more important for me than our relationship, our love and for that I am ready to do everything you want me to do, maybe then you will believe in my love.”

Liam looked away from her accusing gaze for a moment and then out of a sudden grabbed her shoulder. “You think I am not trying!” He snapped in a tone which froze her to the core. Her eyes widened seeing the look of darkness on his face.

“Liam…”

He left her with a jerk. “I am sorry, there is a reason I don’t want you to go out, Aurora.”

She frowned. “What reason?”

Liam gritted his jaw. He couldn’t tell her about the reality of their lives or could he. He eyed her, “will you be able to handle the truth?” He asked.

Aurora blinked. “What are you talking about? What truth Liam?” Her brows pulled together. “Is my dad fine? He is fine right?” She held her shoulder, fear clear in her eyes. “Answer me Liam, is my dad fine or not?”

Liam held her hands and held them together, “he is fine. He is recovering…” Liam said. He wanted to tell her but stopped. He knew she wouldn’t believe him, not about the reality of her father. For her, Ethan Kings was a man of honour and he was but in the Mafia world.

She didn’t know how manipulative her father was in real life.

She sighed in relief and nodded. “I want to meet dad, if you could find a little bit of love in your heart for me. If the moments I spent with you had a little ounce of truth in them then please let me see my father for once, Liam. Please.”

Liam left her hands. “I have to go, Little one, your friend will be here soon, I have sent the driver to pick her up. I will see you in the evening. Till then enjoy your day with your friend,” saying that he walked out of the room leaving Aurora alone with her tears.

Ralph Knight received the call from The Bella’s American branch head where Susan works and he informed Ralph that she had left for Vancouver a few hours ago.

Ralph’s heart skipped a beat hearing Susan was coming back to Vancouver. Her beautiful face flashed in his eyes, the words she said to him when they met for the last time hit him hard.

“I wish you had stayed there forever,” he muttered. This was the reason he sent her to the USA.

“Have you found something?” Ralph put his phone back in his pocket when he heard his brother’s voice.

“I had a chat with Thomas. I know he is not sharing but he is up to something. His words inclined that he found something but wants to be sure about it.”

Liam nodded. “Call Alexandrio.”

Ralph stiffened, his face lost all the colour and he turned as white as a sheet. “You can’t be serious!”.

Liam raised his brows. ” I am very serious. I chose you and dad over my friend. I chose myself over my friendship, Ralph,” he nodded at his Brother. “Now, call Alexandrio and tell him about the attack on me and don’t forget to mention that it was the Masked man who did it.”

Ralph didn’t move for a long minute. “Do it, Ralph.”

He fisted his hand tightly and nodded in agreement. Liam smiled when he saw his brother dialling Alexandrio.

Who accepted the call after the sixth ring.

“I hope I didn’t disturb anything,” Ralph said the moment he heard Alexandrio’s voice on the other end.

“Actually you did, I wanted to go another round but…. oww! Stop hitting me, woman.”

“Stop it.” Ralph heard Emily lightly scolding him. Ralph fisted his hand even more tightly hearing the lively banter between Alexandrio and his wife.

“I have something important to tell you. Can you get a little privacy,” Ralph said in a serious voice which told Alexandrio that the matter was serious.

“Wait a second.”

Ralph’s eyes went to his brother, the little hope in him died when he saw the calmness in Liam’s eyes.

“I heard about Ethan. Emily talked with Aurora, we were coming back but she told her not to…”

“I didn’t call for that, Ethan has been attacked but it’s about the masked man. Alexandrio, Liam didn’t know I am calling you to talk to Dmitry. The masked man attacked Liam a few days ago. Liam killed the men but he was wounded badly. You can save us a great deal of time. Try to talk to Dmitry.”

Ralph heard Akexandrio sigh on the other end. “Is Liam fine?” He asked in a tired voice.

Ralph glanced at Liam who shook his head. “He is losing his cool, Alexandrio. I don’t know how much this war was going to cost us now.”

“Dmitry…”

“He will not share any information, Ralph and I will not ask again. Liam is my friend, a very dear friend but Dmitry is my brother, he is my Pakhan.

He asked only this from me, not to interfere between him and Liam. Sorry pal, I can’t help you more than I already did.”

Ralph closed his eyes. “I wanted to tell you about the attack on Liam. He told me not to tell you but I had to think about my brother. He was being attacked by man, he was this close to death. Alexandrio,” he said forcibly before ending the call in anger.

Ralph glanced at Liam who was smirking. “That was what I wanted to show you, he is taking his brother’s side even though he could help me easily and if I am choosing my family, the lives of thousands of my men what’s wrong in that?”

Ralph nodded. He understood that there was nothing he could do, Liam would not back down from his plan. Nothing and no one could stop him.

“I do not think he would come back.”

Liam smiled confidently. “He will because he is loyal to our friendship as well. I am this close in achieving my goal, Ralph and I don’t want any kind of problems now.”

Thomas kicked the man in his shins. “I am not a spy boss. Someone is pestering this on me. I am loyal to Ethan Kings.”

Thomas kicked the man once again. “Loyal! Jeff find you sending messages to someone, you lying bastard.” He snapped and cut his pinky finger. The man cried in pain. “I am not lying boss,” he cried, glancing at Jeff. “You don’t…”

Jeff pulled out his gun and shot him in the head. “Bloody traitor,” he said on his body.

Thomas pushed Jeff in the chest. “What did you do? He could have told us everything.”

“I got angry, Thomas. I was not thinking straight,” Jeff said looking at the body of the traitor. “Ethan was not only my boss but a friend to.”

Thomas nodded. “Go and calm your mind, Jeff,” he said. Jeff glanced at Thomas, he sighed and walked out to go to his home.

Thomas shrunk his eyes and signalled one of his men to come near him. “Keep an eye on Jeff, I know he is up to something and I want to hear his calls. Tell the tech guy to tap his phone.”

Thomas had doubts over Jeff but now he was sure about him being the spy in their group. He holds one of the most important positions in Churchill. Jeff was third in command after Thomas only he knew about Ethan’s plans. “We trusted the wrong man, Ethan. You trusted the wrong man.”

On the other hand, Aurora hugged Susan tightly in happiness. She couldn’t stop her tears. “I missed you so much, Susie. I missed you so much…”

Susan wiped Aurora’s tears and held her face. “Why didn’t you call me before? I asked you many times but you didn’t answer, Aurora.”

She sobbed. She didn’t know how to tell her the truth. Paulina was nearby, Aurora didn’t trust her, she was nothing but Liam’s puppet. She didn’t trust him not after experiencing the monstrous side of him.

“And why the sudden marriage?”

“After dad’s attack I was alone and when Liam asked I agreed.”

Susan frowned but didn’t ask her anything. She didn’t want to be accused of interfering in her life again. “Come let me show you your room.”

Susan knew there was something Aurora was hiding from her. She could see it in her face. The way she talked to her, the excitement in her voice and the spark in her eyes was not only because she was talking to her after a long period of time. No, it was something else. She would ask her about it even if she had to suffer another accusation of being an interfering person but not here. Susan decided that she and Aurora would go out tomorrow and there she would ask her.

Aurora came with coffee mugs in her hands. “Here is your coffee, Paulina is cooking your favourite chicken nuggets. Liam will be joining us for dinner.”

Susan nodded. “What about Em, is she coming?”

Aurora sighed and shook her head. “No, I told her not to come, I don’t want to disturb her honeymoon. At least she is happy among the three of us.”

“Why? Are you not happy with Liam?”

Aurora stiffened. “I am…” she stammered. “I am happy but you know with dad being in hospital…”

Susan nodded. “He will be fine soon.”

They were talking when the door of the penthouse opened and Liam entered the house. Once again Susan felt Aurora stiffen but she ignored it.

I am just overthinking the situation. Why would she be tense around her husband?

Susan smiled as she stood up to greet Liam but the smile on her face became hard to maintain when her eyes went to the person standing behind Liam.

Ralph Knight!

She swallowed the emotions that choked her throat. Ralph gave them both a curt nod while Liam stepped closer to Aurora and kissed her lovingly. “I hope you had fun with your friend,” he teased Aurora and smiled at Susan who smiled back at him.

Aurora nodded. “It was amazing catching up with each other after this long. I was happy spending time with her.”

Liam once again kissed her. “Ralph will be having dinner with us tonight. I am hungry so shall we?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Ralph’s eyes were fixed on Susan who was looking at her friend ignoring Ralph. “Aurora, I was thinking about going shopping tomorrow. What do you say?”

Aurora looked at Liam who rested his knife and fork on the plate. His eyes went to his wife who shook her head. “I don’t know Susie. I don’t feel like going out anymore.”

Ralph was angry that she was ignoring him. “Why not, you should go out to Aurora.”

“I think we should not force her. If she didn’t want to go anywhere then let her be,” Liam said firmly.

Susan watched Aurora and Liam. Still not gazing at Ralph. “I want to see Ethan. He treated me like a daughter and I want to see him. I thought we would be going shopping after seeing him, to lift Aurora’s mood. But if she doesn’t want to go then we will see Ethan only. I don’t think Aurora would have any problem in seeing her father ”

Aurora’s eyes pooled with tears. She was dying to meet her father. She wanted to kiss Susan but she knew Liam would never agree to it. He would never allow her to meet her father.

Liam looked at Aurora’s tear-filled eyes. He fisted his hands in anger over seeing her in pain. He was angry because every single thing about her was affecting him now. Even her tears, “I will take you both to the hospital.”

Aurora stiffened and looked at Liam with shocked eyes. “You will?” She asked, not believing her ears.

“Yes.”

She nodded in gratitude. “Thank you.”

While Susan just stared at them. With every passing second she was getting sure that Aurora was hiding something big and Susan was going to find out about it.
