Married to the Mafia Boss

Liam burned in hot red fury when his brother showed him the message from the Masked man on his phone.

His nose flared seeing the burnt sheep and just then Ralph’s phone rang. There was another bad news waiting for him. There was one more attack on one of his warehouses, it was burnt too.

Liam was pacing in the room, his mind raging in anger as he tried to figure out the situation. “Liam, you need to think with a cool mind, he is playing with your mind.”

Liam understood that too, he didn’t need his father to tell him that. He had tried enormous times but that Masked man was still out of Liam’s reach. He didn’t know how to cope with this delinquency, his mind couldn’t accept this failure. He wanted to torture this masked man, brutally before killing him.

“Is there anyone from the commission who knows anything about this masked man?” Liam demanded from his father who sighed, shaking his head.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“No.”

That answer fueled the burning rage of his anger. He had no one who can support Liam in this masked man issue except for one, but he didn’t want to back out from promise. Liam promised himself that he would let Alexandrio live a month with his wife, he would allow him to live the honeymoon bliss but this new event made him question his words.

Could he afford a month? The answer would be no, he couldn’t but was he ready to sacrifice his friend for his dream this soon? That was the question he couldn’t answer.

Liam glanced at his brother and father before walking out of the warehouse in anger. He wanted to think with a clear mind before taking any step. He decided to go home because at this moment violence is not the solution to his situation.

Liam looked at his brother, ” pay the authorities, I don’t want the issue to get any hype!” Saying that he walked out from there.

Aurora watched outside the window, just like yesterday she was locked in her room, her breakfast, lunch and dinner was served to her in the room but she was not allowed to leave her gilded cage. Her mind took her to memory lane, her life in Churchill before meeting Gabriel and Liam used to be beautiful. It was only her father, uncle Mrs Dolan and her two friends.

Just a few months back she used to whine to him for using his private plane to travel. Tears perked into her eyes, recalling the beautiful memories of the past. She was missing her old life, her father.

“Please get well soon, dad. I can’t live like this anymore, please,” she sobbed, putting her head on her kneecap.

She wanted to meet her father, she knew he was in Vancouver but Liam banned her from going out of this room. She wiped her tears with determination, “I will tell him that I want to meet you, dad. I want to be close to you and if he doesn’t let me out of this room I will not leave him.”

The tears in her eyes didn’t stop. “Please call me Uncle Thomas, please, order Liam to leave me alone,” she cried, her emotions were out of control nowadays.

She was lost in her thoughts and crying over her fate but suddenly she heard a loud bang which made her jump in the air. Her eyes went to the door which was opened and there stood the man who she loved and hated at the same time. Liam Knight.

Liam gritted his jaw when his eyes went to his wife’s tear-stained cheeks. He sprinted to her and clasped her elbow. “Why are you crying?” He demanded in a sharp voice.

Aurora blinked rapidly to clear her vision. She wanted to get away from. his touch, she wanted to scream that she didn’t want him but last night was a slap to her words and face.

Aurora snatched her hand and looked down, she didn’t want to say anything when she knew he was only going to mock her. She stood up and tried to go to the bathroom but he didn’t allow her. “I asked you something.”

Aurora didn’t say anything and sat back on the bed. Still silent, Liam who was already engaged didn’t like her attitude and clasped her jaw tightly, raided her face to meet his gaze.

Aurora fisted the bed sheet, meeting his gaze, “I asked you a question, Little one and want an answer to it.” He gritted out, his eyes turned dark which scared Aurora still she was defiant to not surrender her ofide more than she already had.

“Aurora, don’t provoke me, I am not in a good mood already, don’t make me take you on my knees to discipline you!”

That made Aurora break her silence. She felt filthy with his words and touch, in that heat of anger, she stood up and pushed him hard in the chest, Liam stumbled backwards more in shock rather than by the force used by her.

“Who are you to punish me, what right do you have to use violence over my body? If I am not answering your questions, it means I don’t want to talk to you, I don’t want to see your face, nor breathe in your presence. What word of it you don’t understand? I want to see my dad, I want to be close to him, I miss him but I can’t go to see him because I am stuck here in this room, you have caged me here!” Aurora busted Out all the frustration she had bottled inside her, the tears of frustration and anger were rolling down her cheek but she didn’t care anymore.

“I want to meet my dad! I want to see him, you have smashed me from inside, what have I done to you that you destroyed my soul like this Liam? I loved you with all my heart but now it’s a poison which is killing me!” Aurora sniffed and screamed in agony.

Liam’s eyes widened seeing her like this, her body was shivering badly, a fear engulfed his heart as he took a step forward and pulled her into his arms. “Calm down, Little one, please calm down.”

Aurora was hysterical. She had lost everything. “You broke me, Liam. You broke my trust, I will never forgive you for this, never,” she cried in his arms, catching his silk shirt tightly. Liam heard everything she said with a gritted jaw.

“I will never forgive you, never!” She said, frantically. Aurora’s eyes turned heavy as she felt lightheaded suddenly, everything around her was rolling, and suddenly a blackness appeared in front of her vision.

Liam felt her body going loose in his arms. She was no longer mumbling. He looked down at her and was stunned to see her passed out. “Aurora!” He called her name sharply, shaking her body to wake her, but Aurora didn’t react to anything.

He scooped her in his arms and took her to bed, laid her down on it softly and covered her body with a soft quilt. He checked her forehead, she was burning in fever.

Liam cursed himself, his heart thumping heavily seeing her in this condition. He called his housekeeper, Paulina and ordered her to bring cooling packs. He knew she was under a lot of mental stress nowadays and that was one of the reasons for this.

Liam placed a cooling pack on her forehead to lower her fever. He fisted his hand seeing her pale face which was completely opposite to the one when he watched her for the first time.

Liam took care of her the whole day, he forgot the happiness of taking over the chair of the Vancouver crime family’s boss, he forgot about the Masked man and the messages he sent for him, the only thing which mattered to him at this moment was Aurora’s health.

The world could burn down to the ashes for all he cares but he wanted Aurora to be fine.

Liam checked her temperature once again and sighed in relief seeing it lowered. He touched her face softly and went near her. “Why are you doing all this, Little one? Please don’t make me harsh on yourself. I don’t want to hurt you this badly, Aurora!” He traced her lower lip with his thumb and stood up abruptly from the chair beside her, walked towards the window and sighed deeply. Liam Knight’s mind was confused one the situation for the first time. He wanted to make a decision to make things smoother but couldn’t!

Something stopped him, his conscience, the same conscience which he never had before!

He swallowed and pulled out her cell phone out of his coat, turned it on to check if there was anything important. He was talking over the messages to Thomas through her phone to show Aurora was fine in Vancouver. Thomas had asked more than once if she met Ethan or not and every time, he answered yes, which was a clear lie but now seeing Aurora this worried about Ethan, he was feeling something which

never felt before. Guilt!

The home screen showed a picture of smiling Aurora with Ethan. He looked at the picture once and then at her onthe bed. There was a vast change on her face, in this picture she looked carefree, happy and young but now, she looked devastated and old.

The phone buzzed with multiple notifications, Liam had ignored every other message and focussed on only two people, one was Thomas and the other was Emily who had sent multiple pictures of her and Alexandrio from their honeymoon.

His friend looked happy which made Liam calm. He didn’t want to do it to Alexandrio but was business. Looking at Emily’s messages, Liam understood that they didn’t know about Ethan yet. He moved to Thomas’ message, nothing new there, the same question he had been asking from the last two days, if she was fine or not? He replied to Thomas and was about to turn the phone off again when it buzzed and the notification showed the name of Susan Kelly.

Liam frowned seeing the message on home screen, Pick up the damn call Aurora! I heard about Ethan? Where are you? Thomas said you marry Liam? Why so soon? I want to meet you, call me asap!

Liam squeezed his eyes shut. Liam no longer cares about Thomas or Ethan. He fulfilled the conditions of their deal. But Liam knew Thomas would not allow Aurora to suffer at his hands.

Liam needed to take the next step carefully, now. He eyed Aurora one more time before walking out of the room.

Aurora fluttered her eyes open when she heard the door being closed. She didn’t know why she behaved like that, why did she showed him her pain when she knew he didn’t care, but it just happened. She had lost control over her emotions.

She swallowed and manager to sit up. She had heard him when he thought she was unconscious. She had heard the vulnerability in his voice and now she knew what she had to do fo get out from this cage. A trail of fresh tears rolled down her cheek once again as she recalled the memories she shared with him but the memory of the day when she heard the truth, the memory of the day when he made her beg to marry him overpowered the good ones.

He was cruel with her, even the sworn enemies took pity of their enemysaries but he didnt do that. He used her father’s life to get even with her and that was not enough, now he had caged her in his home. How could she forget all this for a lie he made her believe?

Was it even possible? Aurora asked and the answers she received was no! She couldn’t forget. She just want to get away from him, her father was safe now, he had the surgery, she knew she was going against her words but he did the same thing.

Love was just a word for her now, the only emotion she felt for him was pure hatred.

Aurora touched her necklace for strength. “I am sorry for this mom, but nothing is more important for me at this moment than seeing dad and the only way I could do that was if I fake my love to Liam. I am doing the same thing he did to me but my intentions are not selfish like him,” Aurora wiped her tears and decided that now she would make him believe that she had forgiven him and if for that she had to share her body with him, she would do it too but the moment she step out of this room she would ask her uncle for help!
