His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 75

Aurora and her friend's entered the nightclub. Neon lights and high beat music welcomed them. Susan shouted in excitement while Aurora was also enjoying the music. It was only Emily who looked a little distressed but after a while, even she started enjoying the night.

A server passed by with a tray of alcohol-filled glasses, both Emily and Susan held Aurora's hands to restrict her from taking the glass. "You guys know that no one was going to let me take it without paying upfront," she told them shouting over the high beat music.

"I don't trust your hands…" they both shouted at the same time, shared a look and then looked away in irritation.

Aurora rolled her eyes and nodded. "I promise you both I won't drink. So chill no alcohol for me tonight."

Emily left her hand and pointed at the corner seat. "Shall we go there?"

"You might have come here to sit but I did not. Let's go and rock the dance floor Aurora." Susan took her hand and went to the dance floor to lose herself in the night of music and started dancing. Aurora smiled and joined her as well.

On the other hand, in the VIP section of the dance club, Liam was sitting with his brother Ralph and two of his best shooters were standing behind them. Not that Liam needed anyone but sometimes it's best to take precautions especially when one found a wolf trespassing a lion's territory.

And today the wolf was Dmitri Kyschove. The man Liam wants to rip into shreds!

A cigar was dangling in his fingers as he put it between his lips and took a long whoop of it. Alexandrio was sitting in the middle chair to keep an eye on both of them. Liam was silent, he would not start the conversation at all, even if he had to sit on this stupid chair the whole night.

Alexandrio sighed and started the conversation. "What's your call, Dmitri? What is the purpose behind this unplanned meeting?"

Dimitri raised a brow at his brother, "I think you should ask this question to your friend, Alexandrio. He will tell you the reason behind my call."

Liam leaned back in his chair, leisurely enjoying the irritation and anger of Dmitri. Liam felt the same way when he refused to assist him with that masked man's identity and whereabouts. They say right about Karma, what goes around, comes around. A few days back, it was Liam who was asking for his assistance and now it was Dmitri whose mind was playing havoc with him.

Liam tapped his finger lightly on his thigh, enjoying the agony Dmitri was going through. "I don't know what you are talking about, Dmitri. Can you be a little more specific?"

Liam's lip tugged a little upward when he saw Dmitri's nose flared. "Don't play these stupid games with me, I am talking about your upcoming meeting with the Italians. Do you think I would not be able to find out?"

Alexandria glanced his way, shocked. "What is he talking about, Liam?"

Ralph glances at his brother not sure what game he was playing. When he asked him to arrange a meeting with the Italian mafia head he thought it would be in secret but here, their Russian alliance head was sitting and demanding answers from him.

Liam met Dmitri's gaze and smiled. "Even if I decide to meet Italians, what problem do you have with it, Dimitri?"

"What problem? We have a business together. I don't trust you to share the business information with them if it benefits you. I know how big of a scoundrel you are!"

Once again, Liam smiled, "how am I any different from you, in this Dmitri? When You are doing the same thing. I asked for your cooperation and capturing an enemy who has become a nuisance, not for me but Ethan King as well and you denied it. Straight on the face, do you think only you have the power to say no? You are wrong. I hold that power too."

Dmitri's eyes flashed. Anger and thirst for blood are visible in his eyes. Alexandrio saw it and before the meeting could turn into a bloody war he interrupted them.

"Is this about that masked man? Is it what it is?" Alexandrio asked.

Liam nodded, propped his feet on the knee of his other leg and sat down leisurely. "Your brother refused his cooperation and I have no other option except for allying with the Italians."

"And what about our cooperation Liam? Don't forget, we are major partners in business, both legal and illegal. You do not only start g a new alliance but break an old one too," Alexandrio started.

"I said about starting a new alliance I never mentioned breaking up ours."

"I don't trust your hollow words anymore!" Dimitri spat.

Liam turned his face to him, "I never said about my alliance with you Dmitri. If anything, I want to kill you right this second and trust me I will enjoy doing it," he said and an electric shiver ran through his body when a deadly smile broke on Dmitri's face.

The sparkle in his eyes was enough for Liam to tell that Dmitri wanted the same thing and Liam would love to enjoy the adventure of it.

"Same goes for me, Liam. I want nothing else than to stab my knife in your heart and give you a painful death."

Liam raised his brow with a smile, mocking a salute with a tilt of his hand he turned to his friend. "I was talking about my alliance with you, Alexandrio. I am tolerating him because of you and he is doing the same for you but till when? I want that masked man dead, he refused so I chose another way. Simple!"

Alexandrio sighed. "If you still…" he started but Dmitri stopped him.

"No, he wants the masked man," Dmitri smiled, "and if he thinks that eating with Italians or forming an alliance with them is going to help him then be it but let me warn you, Liam," he glared at him, and in a dark voice said, "if it affects my business in any way, be ready to lose things sacred to you."

Before Alexandrio could speak, Liam spoke up: "you are sitting in my territory and threatening me. You deserve my respect for it but trust me, Dmitri. No matter how much respect you earn from me, I won't think twice before shooting the bullet right between your eyes. So don't try to scare me in vain, for nothing is scarier than me. Not even the devil."

Then with a chuckle, "and just to remind you, I don't give a damn about anything or anyone but myself Dmitri and when you know how dangerous one can be when he has no one to care for."

Dmitri glanced at Ralph who raised a brow in challenge. Alexandrio tried to calm both of them but anyone could cut the tension between them with a knife.

Dimitri was a man who knew very well to read behind the lines. He could sense the protectiveness in Liam's voice when he asked her to leave.

He was trying to be indifferent to that girl in front of him. What a show he tried to pull. Dimitri was impressed.

Liam gritted his jaw in anger seeing Aurora there. He couldn't risk Aurora's safety in any way. Dimitri might be Alexandrio's brother but he didn't trust him.

"A sexy girl she was? Your friend?" Dimitri asked with a lift of his brow. "Mind, introducing her to me."

Fury ran through his body. The bastard was playing with him; he knew that. If it was some other time Liam would have not taken the bait. But this time, it was not about any girl, no. Aurora was his possession and he wouldn't let Dmitri or anyone else think that she could be theirs.

"She is my woman and I advise you to take her name with respect, Dmitri," he said.

Dimitri smirked. "I guess only you think of her as yours because from what I see she is enjoying herself in the arms of another man."

Liam glanced down and saw her dancing with a man who has his hands all over her back and instead of throwing him away she was enjoying herself. Liam couldn't see that anymore, he stood up with lightning speed and sprinted towards them.

"Dance with me, baby." The man said behind Aurora who tried to get out of his grip but then her eyes went to the VIP area.

"To hell with him," she mumbled and started dancing with the stranger who moved her steps like a professional. She was enjoying dancing like this, carefree as if nothing mattered but then suddenly the man ripped away from her.

"What the…" the man tried to hit Liam but Liam grabbed his hand and twisted it behind a disturbingly painful angel.

"I am sorry, sorry. I will leave…" he begged, Liam left his hand and the man strode away from them as soon as possible.

Aurora was stunned at his brute behaviour. She tried to walk past him, Liam was already beyond rage and he grabbed her hand tightly.

"You want to dance, then do it with me."

Aurora tried to free her hand, but in the end, she gave up. "Dance with me, baby girl." He said and pulled her waist towards him as he started to move with he

"So, the great Liam Knight has a weakness I see…" Dmitri chuckled. "Now, It will be fun to play with you, Liam knight."
