Love Wins Over Lust novel Chapter 16

He could see the look of shock on her face. She frowned. "Have you started to trust me now?"

Liam once again caressed her lower lip before shaking his head. "Not really, Little one. But I want to see the depth of your love. Here is your phone, you can call your uncle and tell him everything or you can choose to stay with me, forever, Little one."

Aurora stared at him for a long minute.

She had her liberty in her hands. Her uncle would come and nothing would be able to stop him from taking her with him, her father would get fine soon. She glanced at the phone in her hand, she was about to curl her fingers around the phone but stopped when Liam's words hit her ears.

"But remember Little one. If you chose to tell him about us then your father is in a very private hospital…"

Aurora's heart stopped for a second. He was playing with her mind. She tried to look unaffected by the threat of his words and smaller her uncle's number.

Their gazes were locked with each other. Liam's eyes sharpened as he continued gazing into her ocean blue eyes. Aurora waited for Thomas to accept the call, she was excited to hear the voice of her uncle after a week. Happiness shot through her nerves when his voice sounded from the other end. "Aurora?"

"How are you doing uncle and How is Mrs Dolan?" She asked, her throat turning heavy with bubbled emotions.

, Aurora?"

She sniffed. "Yes, uncle. I am absolutely fine," she raised her eyes and fixed them on Liam. "Liam is taking care of me." She said looking into his eyes. "Uncle have you met, Dad? How is he doing?"

Liam's gaze sharpened. He took a step forward but Aurora kept her eyes locked on him, she didn't react in any way when she saw him move. "You don't know?"

She shook her head, as if Thomas could see her. "No, I have not met him, I don't have the power to see him in a hospital bed. Liam is keeping a record of his death information. He is not letting me take any stress. Uncle, I want to hear it from you, please tell me how Dad is doing?"

"He is recovering well, Aurora. We will hear the good news soon. Liam has appointed the team of the best doctors for Ethan. He is in a private ward under tight security from Liam."

Aurora's heart thumped, heavily "I know Dad will be fine soon, uncle. Liam would not let anything happen to him, Aurora said it with so much confidence in her eyes that Liam's body stiffened.

She swallowed. " I will call you later uncle. Please take care of yourself and Mrs Dolan. I don't have anyone except for you two anymore."

Aurora heard Thomas clearing his throat. "Goodbye, Love. Take care of yourself and if you need anything, give me a call."

She smiled, her eyes still on her husband who was looking at her with hawk eyes. "My husband is here to take care of me, Uncle. But I will call you again soon. Good night," saying that she ended the call.

Aurora took a deep breath. She grabbed Liam's hand and put her phone in his palm. " I didn't tell him about you caging me in your room and how badly you are treating me because I want us to be together. Because I love you. I asked him about my father because I am worried about his health and you don't share anything about him. I am ready to fight for our relationship Liam. I am not scared of you, I love you," she said looking straight into his eyes.

Liam kept staring at her but she turned around and tried to walk away but Liam grabbed her neck and pulled her back. She gasped at his action and Liam put his lips on hers.

He wanted to consume her whole, her lips, her scent, more importantly, her words intoxicated his mind. He was dominating her tongue. Aurora, as startled by his action, grabbed his shoulder and her hand roamed to his hair, she kissed him back with equal prominence but when his kiss made her breathless she pushed his chest a little, telling him without words that she couldn't breathe.

Liam left her and took a sharp breath.

Aurora swallowed. "You hurt me today," once again she tried to leave but Liam didn't allow her and pulled her closer. "So you really love me? How much Aurora?"

She gritted her jaw. "Is there any way to measure love, Liam? What is the use of answering you when you won't believe me? I begged you, cried in front of you, I even forgave you for your deception but I don't know what you want from me anymore," she wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.

She pushed him in the chest and went to the bathroom leaving an angry Liam behind her. He fisted his hands and punched the wall hard. Liam Knight was losing his mind seeing her tears. Her tears twisted his heart, badly. His heart didn't want to see her tears, it ached when she cried but his mind. It warned him not to do the same mistake his father did once. His mind warned him not to fall into the trap of Love. It makes a man blind and hurts him when he doesn't expect to be hurt.

Liam walked out of the room. He needed to get away from her.

His hands itched to kill, he wanted to taste the blood of the person to kill him. It was not a warning shooting, no, if it would have been that they would have left till now. The men were here to kill Liam but it would be them who were going to die, not Liam. It was not easy to kill Liam Knight.

The bullets didn't stop, it kept shooting. Liam didn't buzz but he was losing patience to sit calmly. Finally, after one more round of firing, his patience paid off and Liam heard the sound of footsteps. His nose flared, the death of these men were just a bullet away, his mind and eyes focussed on his aim and the moment the man reached the corner, Liam shot, right in his head.

He heard a loud shriek and the other men started shooting once again. A bullet passed his face, Liam moved in less than a nanosecond saving himself and shot the man who fired on him. He was dead the moment Liam's bullet hit his heart. Two men were dead, one was left.

Liam laid down beside the car and shot. He covered his head with his hand to protect it from the flying bullets to his car. Liam shot his hand first, the man was determined for his blood but it would be his blood which would spill not Liam's but he wanted the man alive. Liam wanted to know the name of the man who attacked.

The list of his enemies was too long to guess but the names which topped the list were Mexicans, The Masked Man and Dmitry. It could be anyone but Liam's mind went to these three.

Liam frowned when the shooting suddenly stopped. His mind warned that the other man was playing the same trick he played on them first but Liam was not going to let him do it.

Liam didn't wait anymore, he stood up with lightning speed, pressing the trigger before the other person could shoot and the bullet hit that man's shoulder. He screamed and shot aimlessly and the bullet hit the fuel tank and a loud blast happened.

Liam's back burnt badly, he fell on the road due to the proximity of the car. When Liam raised his eyes the man was long gone. Liam screamed in anger and punched the road. Liam's back was aching, still, he managed to stand up. He watched his car turn into charcoal. Liam's mind was raging in anger, he needed to know who attacked him and then finish that brutally.

Liam searched for his phone and called his brother. Ralph was shocked hearing Liam's words. He came to him as soon as possible. Things had gone far too wrong for Liam's liking.

"You need to see a doctor," Ralph said but Liam shook his head. He was losing his mind, he took over the chair of the Canadian Mafia today and someone tried to kill him. He wanted to demolish the person responsible for it.

"I don't need a doctor, I need the man responsible for it."

Ralph nodded, he understood that at this moment, Liam was over the top furious. He was not less than a ticking time bomb.

Now the question arises who attacked Liam?
