His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 62

"Beautiful, isn't she?"

"Very!" Gabriel whispered but then turned his phone off when he saw his uncle chuckling.

"Youngsters these days," his uncle left a throaty laugh Gaberial turned his head towards him. "It's just a matter of a few days before you can go back to your girl. I am getting old anyway and after me, you have to handle everything…"

Gaberial shook his head. His uncle was fifty-five years old, he wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon given how seriously he took his doctor's appointment.

"She is angry with me, uncle? I tried to call her but to no avail, her cell kept ringing and she didn't accept it. When I tried calling her friend she just warned me to stay away from her. Even lied to me about her finding a new guy for herself."

"And you are not worried about it?"

Gaberial looked at his uncle. "I trust her blindly. I know she would never betray me that way. I have tried everything to keep her away from me. You know her father being The Ethan king. I tried to give her open access to leave but she still remained by my side. She is a little hurt but I will handle it."

"If you are sure of it, I won't say that but still I would say, don't let the girl slip because if there is a single percent truth in this, your relationship is in big trouble," saying that his uncle left but the thought remained stuck in his mind.

He stilled for a moment when the thought of Aurora being with someone else Flickered in his mind and without waiting a second more he dialled Susan's number. No use, she blocked him, he tried Emily's and once again he knew that he was blocked by both her friends.

He sighed and called into his restaurant. His manager accepted the call, "Boss?"

"Have you found out anything about Aurora? Where is she?"

"You didn't know, boss! She is all over the internet," Gabriel frowned, not understanding what's new in that. She was the daughter of billionaire Ethan King. She was a social media heartthrob and has thousands of followers on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, tik-tok etc. She loves making videos of herself, a habit Gabriel found a complete waste of time. That's why he was not on social media, he believed in living for real, not on screen.

Of course, Aurora had her thoughts about it but since they started dating she was changing her habit and started living in the real world just like him and he loved the ways he was adapting to his lifestyle.

"What did she do now?" He asked lazily, thinking she posted yet another shopping video of hers.

"Your girlfriend won a Jewellery contest boss. She won The Belle's contest and earned an internship contract with their head designer. It's all over the internet…"

Gabriel's scowled deepened. "Where is she exactly?" He asked.

"Vancouver boss. She is in Vancouver with her friends."

Gabriel nodded. "I am coming back to Canada." He said succinctly and ended the call.

"Vancouver…" he whispered silently before sighing deeply. " I hope you didn't break my trust, Aurora…"

Meanwhile, Emily stared at Alexandrios confident mocking face with an open mouth.

"Close your mouth, you are giving me flashbacks of our steamy hot night on that cruise."

Emily snapped her mouth shut and walked inside. "You were supposed to return back to Russia after that contest, what are you still doing here?"

Alexandrios smirked, relaxing back I'm his chair. "A little change in plan, moya malen'kaya Zvezda (my little star).

Emily gritted her teeth in anger. "I am not your little star, stop calling me that!"

"If you want that, I would stop but you have to tell me the reason why you stopped seeing me? Why the sudden change Zvezda"

Emily fisted her hand. "Because fun time is over! You were not serious about me and neither was I. So why are you so irked about it? Move on, Alexandrios."

Alexandrios stood up from the chair and darted towards her in five long steps, grasped her by the waist and jerked her towards him. Emily gasped at the sudden movement, "not for me, na!" He said, shaking his head.

"You see, Zvezda, I couldn't forget your wildness in bed and I want to know you more. I have dated girls of different colours, accents but you...you trumped them all." He sniffed her hair, "you have this wildness in which drives me crazy and fucking hell, I want that wildness in my bed every night. So whether you like it or not, we are going to keep seeing each other."

Emily gulped the painful lump in her throat and tried to push him with her shaky hands but he didn't even budge. "Sorry to burst your bubble but I won't repeat the same man. Your time is over and now it's someone else's turn…"

Alexandrios grip turned painfully hard.

"As if I would allow anyone else except for me in your bed, Zvezda. I might look like a cool guy but I am a possessive bastard and you," he cradled her face lightly with his forefinger, "for you, I am ready to paint my hands red with blood. I am ready to change my perspective on life," he smiled, thinking about his brother's happiness if he decided to join the mafia life.

.

Emily frowned. "I don't care if you paint your hands with colour or blood but nothing you do or say will change my decision about us. Whatever we had is over, learn to live with it," she said, pushing him away from herself.

Alexandrios heard her words but he also heard her fragile tone. He saw her shaking body and flushed cheeks and Alexandrios understood two things, one, Emily might show she was strong but she was not and second, she liked him too but something was stopping her groom from accepting him in her life.

"I don't care if you are my boss here. This internship is important for me and I would be glad if you keep it professional here," she said, smoothing her clothes with her hands, avoiding his gaze from letting him see the tears flowing in her eyes.

"If that's what you want," he whispered but he promised himself that he would make her tell him the truth because Emily was his and he would not let anyone or anything come in the way to have the woman who made him insane with her continuous push and pull.

"It should be related to my work or I would be ending the call, Alex."

"Liam needed to know if there is anything you know about, this masked man in Canada…"

Alexandrios waited calmly for his brother to speak but he didn't. He checked his cell phone to see whether the call was still going or not. He was about to speak but Dmitri beat it to him. "I might know something but it was not like I am going to share. There are some rules in the mafia Alex and I would rather not break them till they don't harm me. So don't expect any help from me in this matter and remember you might live in Canada but you are still bound to your Pakhan."

Alexandrios understood the hidden message behind Dimtri's statement very well. "I am bound to you as my brother and not Pakhan, Dimitri, and juts to remind you I am loyal to you," saying that he said goodbye to his brother and ended the call.

Meanwhile, Aurora kept smiling to herself when they were driving back to their hotel. Emily was looking out of the window, lost in he own thoughts and Susan was irritated with both of them because instead of chatting like their usual self they both were lost in their own little worlds.

"Is there something you would like to share, Aurora?" She finally asked.

Aurora's grin widened. "No, nothing Susie. It's just I loved the work I did today," she said thinking about the ways she was going to torture that arrogant ass.

Her whole body had goosebumps when she recalled the ways he treated her on that godforsaken island. She recalled the restless fish she ate for three consecutive days. the hardship she followed without having a proper bath, and the way slept like some stray animal under the sky and not to mention how he spanked her.

Aurora's eyes sharpened dramatically. Karma is a bitch Liam and now the bitch is back to bit you in the butt! With her sharp teeth!

Susan's heart started beating after seeing her expression. "Aurora, what are you thinking?"

Aurora raised her brows. "About Karma."

"What?"

"Leave it, Susie, just let me enjoy the happy mood I am in today."

Susan inhaled sharply because the last time she was grinning like this she ended up with a man who smashed her confidence with a hammer and it jas taken a lot of efforts flr, Susan, to get her out of that abusive man's clutches.

She just hoped that she didn't end up in a situation like that again.

Aurora searched things about, Liam on the internet. She was the daughter on one of the world's richest man and she knew the importance of R&D while starting an endeavor and Liam Knight was as a personal experiment for Aurora.

But to her disappointment there was not much she could found except for somethings by which she concluded that Liam was a private man. "Hm! Private man," she blinked her lashed rapidly as an idea popped up in her mind.

She was watching some reels on Instagram. "You love a private life, Mr Knight, then get ready to shoot your first social media video tomorrow!" She whispered with an evil smirk present on her face!
