His Purchased Wife

CHAPTER 78

Aurora touched her mother's necklace, trying to keep her tears at bay. "I don't want to repeat the same

mistake again, mom. You used to say, love always finds the way of the heart no matter how much you

try to stop it. But why did my heart always find the wrong man? I don't want to be like that again, mom.

It took me a lot of time to get my confidence back," she left the sob she was holding and tears found

their way out of her eyes.

Suddenly, her phone started ringing. She glanced at the caller I'd and accepted the call immediately.

"Hey, dad," she was missing her mom, just now and her father called. Maybe that's what her mother

used to call the connection of the soul.

Ethan King stiffened when he heard the hoarseness in his daughter's voice.

"Aurora, what's wrong, love? Why are you crying?"

She sobbed silently, not wanting her father to know the reason behind her call. "No, I am not crying. I

have caught a cold," she wiped the tears off her cheek. Ethan didn't believe her and he asked her to

turn the video call on.

She knew she was caught by her father, with no other option left she accepted the video call.

"Love, what happened to you, share with your old man?" He asked, concerned.

Aurora shook her head, the tears didn't stop after that. "Dad, I…" she stopped because she didn't know

what to tell him. She knew her father was protective of her and if she told him how she was feeling he

would want nothing except for leaving Liam and she wants to make her own decisions now.

"It's just that I am missing mom, dad. I miss being with you. I want to come to Churchill but Liam denied

saying I have this contract according to which I cannot leave Vancouver for two months."

Ethan scowled. "Then you should follow your contract. Because the consequences could be

deteriorating by breaching a contract," he told her in a soft voice.

But Ethan was angry at Liam. He should be taking care of Aurora but on the contrary, his daughter was

hurt because of him. "But I want to meet you, dad. I want to meet Mrs Dolan."

His body went stiff, he knew if Aurora gets her mind on something she intends to do it, no matter what.

He couldn't allow her to come to Churchill, not when he was at war with Mexicans.

His eyes were on Aurora who looked lost in thought, "Dad, can you do me a favour?" She whispered

silently.

"Anything for you, love."

She sighed before speaking because she knew her father didn't like Gabriel. She would have told him

about how she started feeling for Liam but stopped herself. She would not repeat the same mistakes

she did with Gabe, this time she would not do anything in haste.

People say love is bliss. It sure is but when this blissful bubble broke emotions scattered everywhere

and there is oy pain left to deal with. She was sure that she would not be reconciled with him again.

Her feelings for him just vanished and she didn't even know when that happened. When she was on

that island with Liam, her thoughts were focused on Liam, about Liam. Gabriel was nowhere and now,

she couldn't cheat on him anymore. The guilt of doing it was there; she didn't have the strength to

continue it anymore.

Still, she was not sure of Liam's love. Yes, she loves him, but she wants to be free in love not caged

and if the price of being his lover was being caged, the price was too high for her to pay.

"Dad, I have been trying Gabe's number for a while but it's switched off. I tried his restaurant to get his

uncle's residence address and number, again that number is also not available. Can you please find

out about him?" She asked her father.

Ethan's body stiffened hearing Aurora taking Gabriel's name. His daughter was asking about her fiance

which clearly indicated that Liam had not been successful in charming Aurora yet. He needed to talk

about priorities with Liam. But first, he had to take Aurora's mind off Gabriel. "I will try, love but I advise

you not to come here till the expiration of your contract. If you want to meet me, I will come there for

you."

Aurora nodded. "Alright, dad. But please find out about him, I need to see him urgently."

Ethan talked with his daughter for a while and ended the call. His body went haywire, he called Thomas

immediately to him.

"Our men handled it, Ethan. The chapter of Gabriel James is over now."

Ethan raked his hand to his face. "Aurora couldn't know, she is still not over him. She asked me to find

him, Thomas. That bloody restaurant owner has become a fishbone in my throat. You are a hundred

per cent sure he has been taken care of?" He grumbled. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Thomas nodded. "I asked our state partners to handle it, the bastard was with his uncle when he was

attacked. His car lost control and they were burned. Dead on the spot as per the reports. It was in the

local newspaper of Dallas."

Putting both his palms on the mahogany desk he leaned his head down a little, sighed and calmed his

racing heart. "I am a very bad father, Right Thomas? Look how I am trying to rule my daughter's life."

Thomas patted Ethan's shoulder. "No, you are a good father, Ethan. You are trying to protect her from

the horrors of our life. Don't regret what you are doing, not when you tried to quit this life once and paid

with losing the love of your life. If Savannah would have been here, she would have supported you in

this. At the end of the day, it's Aurora's life that mattered the most. What you did was right."

Ethan nodded. "Arrange for a flight, I want to meet Aurora. My daughter is missing me and most

importantly, I need to meet Liam who only talks big but lacks in action."

On the other hand, Emily was stunned, Victor was standing in front of her, the man who ruined her faith

in men. The man who ruined her reputation among the people.

Alexandrio offered his hand, "pleasure is all mine, Mr?"

"Victor Brown," he introduced himself to Alexandrio, "and this is my fiance Katelyn. "
