Married to the Mafia Boss

“Your breakfast is ready, madam,” Paulina said from the kitchen counter as Aurora stepped out of her room.

She was alone in bed when she woke up. It was not the first time she woke up without him. They have been together for one month and there has not been a day when they have not shared a bed. Sometimes she used to wake up with him but on many occasions, she had woken up alone.

But last night was not a normal night, it was their wedding night. Aurora stiffened when she recalled what happened last night. Aurora didn’t want to recall any bad memory, so she nodded at Paulina and had breakfast with her.

Her mind was focused on only one person, her father. She needed to talk to Thomas, he was the only family left for her now.

Aurora called him but he didn’t accept the call. She tried one more time but once again, no answer. That scared her, the first thought that came to her mind was, what if something happened to him as well.

Aurora’s breathing hitched. She couldn’t lose her Uncle too but what if those people attack him as her father? She wanted to know about those people who hurt her father.

Aurora called the police station to know about the details. “Hello, police station, I am Aurora Kin…” before she could say anything the phone was snatched out of her hands.

Aurora gasped when she saw Liam standing there with an angry face. He ended the call and looked at her. “What were you about to do?” He demanded.

Aurora didn’t want to talk to him after last night but now she had to, “I called the police station to find out the details of dad’s culprits. I want to know if they found anything or not?”

Liam gritted his jaw, Ethan Kings has treated his daughter with kid gloves but at least he should have informed her about the reality of their lives. The girl was going to land them in trouble.

“You will not call anyone from now on!” He ordered her, putting her cell phone in his coat pocket.

Aurora frowned. “What do you mean, I will not call anyone and why are you keeping my phone in your pocket,” she almost yelled at him in anger.

Liam glanced at Paulina who was doing her work in the kitchen looking down, she was loyal, he knew that a word wouldn’t not get out of the four walls of the house but Liam couldn’t tolerate anyone, especially his wife raising her voice at him. He was the monster in the eyes of the world and he didn’t want a clinch on his image.

It was what he had earned in business. Liam raised a finger, “don’t use that tone with me!”

Aurora was enraged. She wanted to know about the culprits of her father and she could do anything for them to get punished.

She pushed Liam in the chest. “What will you do? Hit me? Look Liam, I did what you asked me to do but if you think that I will sit here silently and behave like a sick wife then you are hell wrong. I want to see those bastards get punished. Give me my phone back or it won’t be good for you.”

“Aurora, calm yourself. You want to see them punished, they will get it but not like this. I will…”

She chuckled. “You will what? Take another advantage of the situation. You snatched everything from me, what more do you want, tell me? What? I don’t trust you a single bit now, so stop lying to me anymore and give me my phone back.”

Liam didn’t want to lose control, not after last night because he didn’t know if he would be able to handle his anger if she crossed the line again. “Aurora, I am trying to control myself, don’t provoke me!”

Aurora nodded in anger and pushed him again, hard, “what will you if I provoke, hit me or Rape me like last night?” She yelled and that was it, Liam’s eyes turned dark.

Before she could even blink, Liam grabbed her jaw and pinned him with a gaze that screamed rage. “Get out!”

Paulina didn’t need to be told twice, she walked out without making a sound.

Aurora’s eyes widened in fear. She didn’t forget last night, she gulped in apprehension.

Is he going to repeat what he did last night?

“Don’t use that word again for me when you wanted me as much as I did last night. You were aroused, the proof of that was in front of my eyes and under my hand. So stop lying to yourself about it. Do you even know what rape meant, Aurora?” He demanded in a cold dark voice that stopped her heart.

“You are lucky that I can control the raging beast inside me or you have not seen what I am capable of doing.”

She only blinked, there were so many things she wanted to say to him, she wanted to show him the mirror of reality but words froze inside her throat.

Liam closed his eyes and turned his head to his left, inhaled sharply and once again settled his gaze back to her, “we have our reception tonight, the dresses, make artists everyone will be here in two hours. I want you to dress up like a doll, look at me admiringly, and smile at the guests. Be the perfect trophy wife. I know it won’t be hard for you, your father has groomed you for this whole your life.”

Aurora blinked, insulting her was one thing but insulting her father, she wouldn’t tolerate his jabs about her like this.

Liam could see the fear pass from her eyes and the defiance burning in them again. He knew she wanted to say something but he was not in the mood to hear her tantrums anymore.

“Two hours, that’s all you have, Aurora,” saying that he left her face with a jerk and walked away from there leaving an enraged Aurora behind.

“You want a trophy wife, right? I will pull off a standing ovation type of performance for you, Liam. That’s my promise to you!”

Liam’s hands were full with the ongoing war, continuous stealing of his consignments. In other words business was not going well and now on top of everything he had a wife who wanted to test his patience every then and now.

He called Thomas, he needed to have this talk with him about Aurora. “Yes!”

“Aurora wants to talk to the police about Ethan’s case.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Thomas answered him with silence and a long sigh. “She is naive…”

“I don’t give a damn if she is naive, look, Thomas, I have played this game enough. Aurora needed to know about the reality of our life or we could land in trouble. There is a limit for everything, I have police and politicians in my pocket but there are few enemies too, don’t forget we are not the only fish in the pond!”

Thomas pinched the bridge of his nose. “You can’t tell Aurora, it’s not yours nor my right to tell her the truth. Ethan hid it from her till now, once he gets well he will tell her himself.”

Liam squeezed his eyes shut. This Ethan and his daughter’s drama is never going to end!

“The girl is stubborn, we could land in…”

“Liam, if you think that just because you succeeded in marrying Aurora yesterday and I allowed Ethan to be treated in Vancouver doesn’t mean I don’t understand your ploys. I accepted that because I want to control my territory till my boss gets fine and my niece is safer with you than she is with me but I wouldn’t allow you to hurt her.”

“You won’t allow me to hurt her? She is my wife now, Thomas, and I don’t want anyone to interfere in my married life!” Saying that he ended the call and threw his phone aimlessly on the car seat.

What a mess! This is too much price for a beautiful body!

Thomas shook his head, he couldn’t let anyone harm Aurora. He needed to take care of this matter and now there was only one way to do that. Thomas dialled Ryan Knight who accepted the call on the sixth ring.

“Good morning, Thomas!”

“Good morning, Ryan. We need to talk about Aurora.”

Ryan frowned, hearing the seriousness in his tone. “What about Aurora?”

“She is Ethan King’s daughter, she deserves to be treated with respect, Ryan, and your son is unpredictable. He wants to tell Aurora the truth about our business. The truth Ethan hid from her till now and I want it to remain that way.”

Ryan didn’t like that a mere counsellor was giving orders to him. He was the boss of the Vancouver crime family. “Thomas, Aurora is no longer a King, now she is my daughter in law. My son’s wife, she is Aurora Knight now and she comes under my son’s jurisdiction now. You no longer have any say in her life.”

Thomas was prepared for that. “Ethan won’t be happy hearing it.”” Ethan ks immobile right now and we are at war with outsiders. I would rather not think about Ethan right now and focus on the problems at hand and just to remind you, you are not the boss of the Churchill crime family, you are filling in Ethan’s place till he gets back to work. You are not the King, Thomas.”

Thomas chuckled. He didn’t want to be king, if he wanted he would have become the boss of this crime syndicate when Ethan wanted to quit for Savannah’s sake. Ethan wished him to take his seat as the boss but Thomas denied because, for him, Ethan would always be the boss. He didn’t know then that his friend was going to lose everything that day.

The jabs Ryan was taking on Thomas meant nothing to him. His friendship with Ethan was deeper than blood. It was based on blind trust. “Ryan, I might not be the king, but I am a damn good commander. We might not have our boss with us but this commander has fought enough wars to know when to strike and when to stop. We are no longer business allies or friends, we are a family now and I don’t want hidden secrets getting out to ruin our relationships, right?”

Ryan Knight stood up from his chair. He understood where he was pointing at, with Ethan he tolerated that, but he would not tolerate this blackmail. “Thomas, don’t forget your damn place. Don’t forget that Ethan and Aurora are in my territory right now!”

Thomas nodded. “I know but I also know that you can’t do anything to Ethan because if you do, you know what kind of twisted bastard I am, Aurora is my niece. I will not tolerate anyone hurting her even if it’s your son and just to remind you, Aurora doesn’t come under Liam’s jurisdiction, she comes under yours. Because last time I checked you are still the boss of Vancouver’s, Ryan Knight, not your son. I don’t want Aurora to know about our reality yet, not till Ethan gets fine and tells her himself. Tell your son to be careful and handle her with care and love or things will get dirty for you if your secrets come out.”

Ryan kicked the leather chair in anger as it flipped down on the floor. If his secret comes out things would turn upside down for him. He swallowed, killing Thomas was out of the question, it would put Churchill without a leader with Ethan being in Coma. He would have gladly taken over Ethan’s territory under his rule but handling the aftermath of a coup was not easy, the price was too high for him to pay especially when there was already a war going on with the outside forces. He didn’t want to deal with ambitious captains and underbosses. It would be bloody and filthy to handle them.

He thought by marrying Liam to Aurora he would control Ethan but now he was in an even more messed up situation.

Ralph Knight who was about to enter the safe room to talk to Thomas about the information he received from his spies regarding Juan and the masked man stopper when he heard him talking to his father. He was stunned hearing that Thomas was blackmailing Ryan for a secret.

Ralph frowned, now he understood why Ralph always protected Ethan till now. So he was right, there was something Ryan Knight was hiding, What? He had yet to find out and he will find it out!
