His Purchased Wife

Chapter 9.

I stared at dad for a while, completely lost in words. Did I just hear him correctly? He couldn't do that to

me!

He must be joking. No, he was joking. Arranged marriages didn't exist anymore. It used to happen in

medicinal time, it didn't happen in the 21st century and even if it still exists it certainly did not exist in

the USA.

"You can't do that dad!" I said after getting my voice back. He halted in his steps, ever so slowly he

turned towards me. His eyes stared into mine and for the first time in my life, I was scared seeing my

dad's facial expressions.

"What did you say?" He asked.

"Dad, I am not marrying someone I didn't even know. How could you decide something like this for me!"

I asked him?

His brows cleared. "Aurora, you don't know what you are saying. Liam is a nice man, you will like him

when you meet him. I know him since he was a child." He tried to persuade me into meeting this Liam

or whatever his name was.

"No, I don't want to marry him. Dad, what is all this about? Arranged marriage didn't exist in the modern

world. I can't believe you did something like this to me. How could you?"

I sobbed, the day was getting worse and worse. First, my beautiful day with Gabe was ruined. He

practically threw me out of his apartment. Hell! I didn't even know where I stood with him and now this.

A freaking Arranged Marriage!

Dad pulled me in his arms. I couldn't hold myself anymore and cried in his chest. "My lovely Aurora, my

darling. Stop crying baby. Stop crying…"

Dad rubs his hand on my back, soothing me. He kept reciting beautiful words to calm me but I couldn't

stop crying.

"Love, Don't cry please. I apologise for hurting you. If my moon doesn't want to marry the man of my

choice then I will cancel this arrangement. Just don't ruin your beautiful face."

I gulped. Finally, calmed after hearing that dad will cancel the arrangement. I raised my head from his

chest and looked into his eyes.

"Why did you do that dad? Why did you even gave it a thought?" I couldn't help but ask him the reason

for doing such a ridiculous thing.

Dad sighed. He placed his hands on both of my shoulders, kissed my head lightly before speaking.

"Darling, I am worried about you. I won't be with you forever. What if something happened to me, who

will take care of you. You are an innocent girl and this world is cruel Aurora. You have no idea how

much I am worried about you. I want someone who I can trust. Who will take care of you, who lives you

as much as I love you my darling."

I searched into his eyes. "Dad, you are talking as if you are going somewhere. Are you hiding

something from me?" I was scared to see my dad like this. For the first time I noticed something around

his eyes.

My strong dad, who I never seen tense. The man who used to make everything possible for me was

tense. My dad was getting old and I never noticed it. A sudden fear erupted in my heart and I hugged

him tightly just like I used to do when I was a child. It was the safest place for me. My dad's arms.

"Dad, please don't scare me. I love you and nothing will happen to you." I whispered.

Dad kissed my head and sighed. Now I felt even more bad thinking about Gabe. Even the thought of

something bad happening to my dad scared me to the core and I told him that he didn't have a dad.

I was such a foolish girl. that's it I am going to meet Gabetomorrow and will

Apologize to him, I decided.

"Come on now, let's go and sleep. I know how much you hate it if someone disturbs your beauty

sleep."

I chuckled at that, my dad knows me too well. I got away from him and held his face sweetly. "But

before going I want a promise from you, dad."

His brows pulled together but then he spoke: "anything for my baby."

"You won't do something like this again. I have a beautiful life planned for myself dad. I want to live it

the way I want." I told him, for a moment I wanted to tell him about Gabe and me but stopped myself. I

couldn't tell him alone, I needed to talk with Gabriel first. And I will talk to him tomorrow…

On the other hand…

A man was sitting in his office with an Ipad in his hand. He was scrolling down the pictures of Aurora

one after another. A small smile came to his face when he saw her beautiful body move while dancing

in a nightclub. The carefree look on her face, the beautiful smile of hers and the most attractive thing

about her was that attitude of hers.

Liam Knight never felt this kind attraction towards anyone except for her. She was like a forbidden fruit

he wanted to taste and taste her he will.

Liam knight had this urge to own Aurora King, he wanted to break that attitude of hers. He wants to

possess her in every way possible.

The girl has become his obsession since he saw her in that Jewelry exhibition his firm organized three

months ago. Every girl in that place was dying to get his attention but Aurora didn't even glance his way

and he was mesmerized by her beauty. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The girl was the definition of beauty, her sapphire blue eyes, golden blonde hair and that sexy body of

hers. The girl was perfect in every regard. When he saw her there he didn't know who she was but

when his man who Liam assigned to get details about Aurora told him that she was Ethan King's

daughter Liam was shocked.
