His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 55

"Stay away from me, you jerk!" Emily said to Alexandrios who tried talking to her but once again she gave him the cold shoulder response she had been giving him for the past four days. And her attitude was irritating him.

Alexandrios was the kind of man who never chased after a girl but Emily was making him desperate and that was not just his style. He didn't chase girls, girls chased him.

"Look, Emily. I am trying to hold a conversation with you…"

"There will be no conversation between us until my friend came back to this stupid cruise of yours. Do you understand me?" Emily snapped and picked her laptop from the sunchair, she was about to walk away but Alexandrios grabbed her hand and made her hand.

"You are not going anywhere, Is it in my hand that she went missing. My friend is also missing. I am worried about him as well but that doesn't mean I would stop taking everything else for granted Emily. I am angry at the situation too but that doesn't mean I will start taking it out on other people. I am trying to talk to you but you kept giving me the cold shoulder, goddamnit!"

Emily swallowed the heaviness in her throat. She knew what she was doing was wrong but she was getting too attached to him and this scared her.

Unlike her friends she didn't come from a rich background and she didn't want herself to get hurt again. And getting emotionally attached with someone who was just having fun with her would hurt her. Casual sex was okay, but getting involved with a billionaire who lived a jet-set life was what made her toes curled in anxiety.

"Please let me go!" She said and jerked out of his hold. Before Alexandrios could even utter a word she walked away from him and once she reached her cabin she left a long depressing breath.

"That SOB! I won't leave him, Em…"

Susan stopped yelling when her eyes landed on Emily's ashen face. "Now what happened to you?"

Emily shook her head. "It's nothing…"

"Shut the fu*k up with you it's nothing and tell me what happened?"

"It's Alexandrios, he tried talking with me again and I walked out on him."

Susan remained silent for a while and then darted towards her. "I know we only suffer each other and you find me a little rude but I think you should move on from Victor. He was a scumbag and if you like this Russian billionaire then there is no harm in trying."

"I don't want anyone to take me as a charity case, Susan. I recall how everyone thought I was lucky because Victor was rich and I was not…"

"Move on, Em! You like Alexandrios from day one. I know that. Aurora knows that, so do me a favour and don't cheat on yourself."

Liam only smirked. "Oh, darling, I don't live in hell, I rule over it. And as far as forgetting me is concerned, I am carved in your fate, wife."

Liam knew that his father was waiting for him so without wasting a single second he went to his office and found Ryan sitting on his chair.

"Good evening, Dad." Liam drawled and Ryan glared at the direction of Liam's voice.

Ryan sighed seeing Liam calm and composed. "Don't ever do something without sharing it with me first. Do you understand?" He gritted out and Liam only smiled.

"He wants to meet you. So stop smiling and tell me what are you going to tell him because now that his daughter is safe, his mind started working again. He has doubts over you. Ethan asked me how did you end up on an island with his daughter?"

"Ethan King, you always made me your fan," Liam said while shaking his head.

"I will tell him the truth, dad. I gather he saw what I was trying to show him or why would he order his man to kill that restaurant owner."

"Let's hope he won't take it as an insult Liam. I don't want any problem with him. Friendship aside, our business will suffer greatly if things get bad."
