His Purchased Wife

Chapter 12.



Chapter 12.

"Fuck!" I heard him. I couldn't control my emotions anymore as I burst into tears. I didn't know when he

ended the call and when he walked to me.

"Aurora, love. Please, stop crying."

I was feeling humiliated by the way he treated me. No one had ever treated me this disrespectful in my

life but he did, The man I love humiliated me today. I have been trying to change myself for the past

two months for him. He didn't like going shopping with me when I love shopping, so I learned to live

with it not only that there are many things which I won't do because he didn't like them.

Going to dance clubs for one, I love going there and dancing my heart out while he likes watching

some stupid Football League. I love watching romance movies and he didn't like them. I love talking

about fashion events and designers as I am a jewellery designing student but he doesn't like any of

those things. Still, I was trying to like the things he likes, I was trying to adapt to his ways but he doesn't

see them.

What he saw was I said something which hurt him, it was not like I said those things to hurt him and I

am feeling ashamed for using those words.

"Aurora, please look at me…" he spoke, making his voice soft. I shook my head and he held my chin

softly, raised my head and made me look at him.

"I am sorry love, it's just that I was angry with you…"

I didn't know what came over me and I started beating his chest with my fists. "I hate you...I hate

you…" I sobbed while beating him. "I hate you…"

He didn't try to stop me and when I stopped beating his chest he pulled me in his arms and hugged me

tightly. "Calm down, love. I am sorry for the way I behaved with you."

I was still sobbing in his arms. "I hate you."

"But I love you, my darling. I love you more than anything else in this world." He said, caressing my hair

with his hand. He scooped me in his arms and took me to the couch. He made me sit on it and held my

face, wiping the tears from my cheek. He placed a soft kiss on my head.

"I am sorry again, love."

I hugged him again. "No, I am sorry for what I said but Gabe, it was not my intention to hurt you. It's just

that I didn't like the way you were talking about my dad."

Gabe sighed. "I know...but whenever someone mentions my dad I feel as if someone was burning me

alive. I couldn't forget the way I saw my dad burned alive by his enemy, Aurora and I am telling you for

the last time, don't ever mention my father again. I didn't know what came over me when someone did

that."

I raised my eyes and gazed into his. I could see the pain in them and I wanted to share it. I touched his

cheek softly. "Gabe, can you tell me what happened to your dad?" I asked him.

He sighed, fisting his hands tightly and nodded. "My Dad was getting life threats from some wrong

people sometimes two years ago. But he was brave, I never saw my dad getting feared by anyone. He

was the strongest man I knew but one day I lost my strong man, I lost my dad forever…" he took a

deep shaky breath.

I held his hand to comfort him. "Gabe…"

He shook his head. "My dad was coming back from a meeting at one of his restaurants. I was going to

surprise him but couldn't because some people attacked him, he fought with them but what can a man

do against twenty men. They tortured him and burned him alive, I couldn't even give him a proper

funeral.

I was stunned to hear him, his body was stiff in anger as he told me about his father's death. A shiver

ran down my body hearing how his father died.

"Gabe, who were these people? Why would they do something this horrible to your dad?" I whispered.

He sighed. "As I said, people from the wrong side, My dad denied giving them money and they killed

him."

I blinked. "So, what happened to them, did the police arrest them?"

He chuckled. "Ya! Police are in their pockets, Aurora. Unlike what we believe, the police don't work like

that. Serving the people is just a slogan for them, they don't stand by it. But I have filed a complaint

against them, what else a normal citizen like me could do!"

"I can help you," I stopped and rested my hand on his softly. "I mean I can ask dad to help you with

this. He knows the governor…"

Gabe snatched his hand and glared at me with hard eyes. "Enough Aurora, I don't need your dad's

help. You don't have to show how powerful your dad is? I get it he is rich and I don't stand a chance

against him but I have my self-respect."

Here is the topic again."Gabe why do you get so protective when it comes to my dad. Whenever I

mention him you just…"I took a breath to remain calm as I didn't want our talk to turn into an argument.

"Gabe, why are you so insecure with my dad?" I asked him the question I wanted to ask for a long time.

He linked the fingers of both his hands and pressed them hard into a fist, turned his head towards me

and spoke: "because I am afraid of losing you, Aurora. I am afraid that he will snatch you from me…"

"Gabe, are you even listening to yourself? He is my dad and he loves me. He will never do something

that hurts me." I tried to tell him but he shook his head.

"You don't understand, It's just…" he sighed and added. "It's just you are the most important person in

my life Aurora and that's the only reason I am trying to change you. I see my future with you and you

might hate me for this but I want you to accept my reality. I can't give you a lavish lifestyle like your

father. That's why I tell you to quit doing things I can't afford. I know I sound selfish here but I love you

and…" he dropped his hand and walked up to the window. He was staring at the tree outside with his

hand's stuff in his pockets.

I was stunned to hear him. He was this scared of losing me and here I was, oh my God! I bit my lower

lip from inside. My poor Gabe! Standing up from the sofa I walked up to him.

Resting my hand on his shoulder I placed my head on his neck. "You don't have to fear anything,

Gabe. I don't care about money or status. All I want is you. Don't be afraid darling, and as far as my

dad is concerned. I will finish this topic once and for all."

I pushed his shoulder a little to turn him towards me. He stared into my eyes, his gaze holding

questions.

"Tonight, I want you to join me for dinner with dad."

Gabe's brows pulled together. "You want me to meet your dad?" He asked surprised.

"Yes, and I will tell dad that I want to be with you, forever," I told him, meeting his gaze.

His eyes flashed. "You are serious…"

"Yes, Gabe, I want to be with you only." He picked me in his arms and swirled around. "Oh, darling, you

just made my day, you have no idea how much I love you."

"Haha!! " I held his neck for support. "Gabe!" I laughed. "Love, I promise you won't regret this ever. I will This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

always love you and cherish you. Baby, I promise you that."

He said finally putting me on the floor.

At that moment I was on cloud nine. That was the most beautiful day of my life. I was happy that day

with lots of beautiful dreams in my eyes but I was wrong. That day I was happy with my prince

charming unaware of the fact that a monster was waiting for me at home.

A monster named Liam Knight!
