Love Wins Over Lust

Chapter 1

Aurora screamed in anger and pain recalling everything she heard. She was hurt beyond words. Tears

of anger and frustration ran through her eyes uncontrollably. She squeezed her eyes to stop the tears,

she had wasted enough of that on a man who didn't deserve anything.

She decided to go back to Churchill. Emily was married to a nice man. The contract she signed could

go to hell for all she cared now. Her father would pay the money to Liam. If he thinks of her as a spoiled

brat she would be the one.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and booked a chartered plane for herself. She needed her father,

she needed Mrs Dolan with her. The heaviness in her heart was too much for her to bear.

Aurora didn't care about anything anymore, she took the taxi, went home, packed her luggage and left

for the airport.

She didn't notice how long her cell phone was ringing but when her eyes went to her phone, it was ten

missed calls from Emily. Aurora accepted the call this time, it could be something important if she had

called her this many times.

"Hey Emily," Aurora greeted her friend s normally as she could. Her throat was still choked with

punished tears. She looked up, to stop her tears from falling. A few heads turned her way on the airport

as she was checking in, her face red with crying.

"I can't believe this, Aurora. I am so damn happy for you. Show me the ring now!" Her cheerful voice

broke the dam Aurora was trying to hold. Once again tears rolled down her cheek. She couldn't share

anything with her yet, she was on her honeymoon and Aurora was not selfish to disturb her in her

special time.

She needed to talk with Emily, but she would do that only when she returned from her honeymoon. "I

will send you the pic, Em. But now go or your husband will say that your friends are leaving you even

on your honeymoon."

Emily giggled at that. "He said that a few seconds ago, it's a month till I come back. Have you talked to

Susan?"

Aurora was glad for the change of topic. "Yes, I apologised to her. She said she needs a little time. I

gave it to her," her voice choked again, the pain was too hard to handle. She didn't have the strength to

continue the charade anymore.

"Em, I gotta go, I will call you back okay," saying that she ended the call and dabbed her eyes, turned

off her cell phone and ascended the stairs of her chartered jet and left this city behind which robbed her

not only of her heart but her soul as well.

Meanwhile, Liam flipped the mahogany desk upside down in anger. The things on it scattered all over

the floor. He was raging in fury, his mind demanded blood. He needed to control his anger or he would

burn the whole world.

The first victim of his rage was the security outside the farmhouse. He went outside and grabbed the

neck of his security team. "How did she come inside without my permission. Why was I not informed?"

He roared, his eyes dark and brutal. The grip on that man's throat tightened, blocking his windpipe

The guard shivered in his hold. "Boss, she said you call her here." He choked, his face turned red with

lack of oxygen.

"And you believed her!" He demanded. Mistakes were not something Liam could tolerate. He pulled out

his gun and shot the man in his heart. Twice. But even spilling blood didnt gave him the satisfaction,

even it didnt cool him today and that made him even more furious.

The other guards stood there, in fear. Liam gave them a disgusted look and walked out of there

towards his car. He needed to share this with his father. He had to tell him that he no longer cared for

Ethan's condition. Liam was going to eradicate Ethan from his path and his spoiled brat would marry

him to save her father.

The words she said about Ethan ruining him kept ringing in his ears. He tried to play the role of the

peace-loving prince but that was not his character. Liam Knight was a born Alpha and he was born to

rule, and he will rule over Aurora's father's territory.

He thought about calling his brother but gave up on the thought. His brother had developed a guilty

conscience and this was against his rules. This life was not for chicken-hearted people. Ralph was not

it, he knew but he couldn't afford a man in his team who holds a guilty conscience.

This was a brutal business. Violence was the only thing that kept you alive. He didn't waste time by

calling his father and informing him beforehand. He was not in the mood to hear him preach about his

being the boss anymore. He wanted Aurora to beg, that was the only thing that could calm him now.

"What are you doing here?" Ryan asked his son when he barged inside his home office, Ryan was on

an important video call at that time and seeing his son's face he knew something big happened. Big

and bad!

Ryan Knight ended the video call immediately. "What enraged you."

Liam placed his hands on the desk and looked into his father's eyes. "I don't care about this so called

friendship with Ethan anymore. I want Ethan dead."

Ryan stood up from his chair with a lightening speed. "Liam! Don't forget he is…"

"As I said, I don't care anymore. I did everything he asked me to do, for you, for your friendship. Do you

know how hard it was for me to suffer that girl's childish tantrums. I suffered that because of you! I don't

have patience anymore. The commission meeting is next month…"

"You told me last night that the girl agreed. You proposed to her, than what's is all this about?"

Liam slapped the table. "Because the bitch has found out it was all a plan. She found out that I was

doing this charade to gain her father's business."

Ryan stiffened. It was bad, Ethan would never allow Liam to marry Aurora now. The man was an

emotional fool when it comes to his daughter. He eyed his son. "How did she find out? You couldn't do

one thing!"

"Dad… don't made me more furious than I already am. I don't care about Ethan anymore. I will marry

Aurora, she will beg me to marry her because her father will be on my mercy."

Ryan shook his head. "Don't even think about it!"

Liam glared at his father. "Why?" He demanded the answer. Now, his suspicion was proving right. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

There was something his father was hiding from him. "What are you hiding father?"

Ryan shrinked his eyes. "Stay in your limits, Liam, don't forget I am both your father and boss."

Liam shook his head. "Don't play this game with me anymore. I am your son, your twisted blood flows

in my veins. Do you think I would not be able to guess it. I didnt question you till now because my focus

was on that brat, but now, I want answer, father. I know you, you made me kill a man because you

didn't liked his face and this Ethan is making you dance on his pinky finger since months now and you

didn't do anything. Why? What are you hiding?"

For the first time in years, Ryan Knight's secret was in danger. He feared the day would come but he

didnt know it would come so soon. But he couldn't allow his secret to come out. Things would turn ugly

if it ever happened.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter to you. Don't interfere, Liam."

"I will interfere in it because it is affecting me. I am closing the chapter of Ethan Kings from the history

of Canadian Mafia."

Before Ryan could say anything his mobile rang. He was about to turn his phone to silence when his

eyes went to the caller ID. He frowned seeing Thomas' name flashing on the screen.

He squeezed his eyes for a moment of peace before taking the phone in his hand. "It seems, Aurora

told her father everything. Thomas is calling me."

Leaving a roaring sound from his throat but turned around in anger and walked to the window. Aurora's

tear-stained cheeks flashed in his memory and he punched the wall in anger. The girl was playing with

his mind even when she was not with him.

Ryan accepted the call on the sixth ring. "Thomas…" he started but Thomas' worrisome voice from the

other end silenced him.

"Ryan, where is Aurora? I have been trying her phone for two hours, but her number is switched off.

Your son is not accepting the call!"

"Thomas, there is something you need to know…"

"Ryan, Ethan has been shot!"

Ryan's eyes widened. He jerked his head to his son, who was clenching and unclenching his hands.

"Who shot him?" His heart thumped in dread.

"Juan, we had his location and attacked there. Ethan almost caught him but a masked man attacked

with his man and..."

"Masked man?" Ryan was shocked and relied at the same time on. Relived because it was not his son.

The words made Liam turn around and face his father. The look on his face told him that there was

something wrong.

"Aurora can't know, Ask Liam to be with her. Ethan is in hospital, right now. The streets are not safe

anymore. Keep Aurora safe, Ryan. That's the least you could do for your friend."

"Where is Aurora?" Ryan asked his son.

"I don't know she might be crying somewhere, I will ask her guard. What was Thomas saying?"

Ryan exhaled raking his hair. "Ethan is shot, he is in the hospital right now. Ralph was right, this

masked man is working with Juan. They forged a trap for Ethan and shot him. Thomas didnt tell but it

was clear from his tone that Ethan is serious."

Liam's mind froze for a moment, Aurora's smiling face when she talked about her father flashed in his

memory. She would be devastated hearing it and then an anxious feeling ran through his body. What if

someone tried to harm her!

He pulled out his phone and called Mike to know about her whereabouts and was shocked when his

number was found turned off.

Liam had never felt like this, never in his life, he feared about someone. "Where the hell is you, sick

bastard!"

Ryan'seyes widened. He couldn't risk Aurora's safety. "If anything happened to her…" he whispered,

shaking his head.

Liam glared at his father. "Nothing will happen to her, no one can harm my property dad." He called

Aurora but a sickening feeling engulfed his heart when her number was off.

He didn't waste any time and called Ralph, he accepted the call on the first ring. "Liam…"

"Find Aurora's location. Ethan is shot, he is in hospital. Mike's number is turned off and so does

Aurora's. You have ten minutes Ralph, find out about her."

"Ethan has been shot?"

"Ralph, I don't have fucking time for your questions, find out about Aurora! Asap!"

Liam ended the call and dialled The Belle's number to ask if she had been there. The chances were

minimum but he didn't leave any place where he thought she could go. "Where are you, little one? No

one can harm you except for me, Aurora. You are going to suffer on my hands only and if anyone

touches you I will cut his hand and feed it to him."

Ryan called his men and started a search operation in the whole of Vancouver to find Aurora. Exactly,

after ten minutes, Ralph called and the information he shared with Liam made his heart pick speed.

"Mike is found dead."

Liam went haywire in worry. A shiver ran down his body. "Aurora?" He couldn't speak any further.

"Liam, she booked a chartered plane for Churchill, she is in the air right now."

Liam's body calmed but only for a second. The chances of her getting into the wrong hands were high.

"Ralph, call our man in Churchill, I want Aurora safe. Do you understand me? Call the Russians too, I

am ready to deliver Dmitry's drugs to New York if he wants but Aurora should be safe. I don't trust

anyone right now," he ended the call and glanced at his father.

"Aurora went to Churchill, dad, call Thomas and tell him that, dad."

Ryan didn't think twice and did what his son asked him to do. As he thought, Thomas was not happy

with his words but Aurora's safety was his priority.

Ryan looked at his son who ordered his pilot to keep the plane ready as he was flying to Churchill.

"Thomas is not happy…"

Liam raised his hand. "Thomas is not the boss of Churchill, dad, Ethan is and he is in the hospital bed.

He had signed his daughter to me, judging by your words he didn't know about Aurora knowing the

truth. The engagement is still on, which makes me the caretaker of Churchill till his king gets back and

if he doesn't, then…"

"Thomas is there, Liam. Don't forget about him."

Liam nodded. "I am going to bring my wife with me, dad. Aurora will be back in Vancouver as Mrs

Knight and this time, no one will be able to stop me."
