Love Wins Over Lust

Chapter 4

"Yes, Uncle. I want to marry him," Aurora told Thomas who did not react in any way except for staring

at her for a long minute and then said: "Aurora, Honey, you can share anything with me, you know that,

right?"

Aurora swallowed and nodded. She understood what he was trying to say, "I know uncle but I want to

give dad what he wanted to see for a long time. He wanted me to marry Liam and I want to fulfil his

wish. I want to do everything he wanted me to do uncle…"

Thomas hugged her. "Am I doing the right thing, uncle?"

He nodded, kissing her head. "You are, honey. You are doing the right thing for your dad, he will be so

proud of you."

Aurora sobbed. "He will be fine, he has to be a fine uncle. I will make everything right."

Thomas nodded, not understanding her words. Only if he understood what she was going through, he

wouldn't have agreed to the marriage.

Aurora broke their hug and wiped her tears. "The lawyer is here, we will be having a small ceremony

here, I want you to stand beside me when I take the vow, Uncle. I want dad and you both with me."

Thomas agreed. "Let me talk to Liam. You go and clean yourself."

After Aurora left, Thomas went to Liam who was talking over the phone to someone. Thomas waited for

him to end the conversation. Liam turned and raised his brows.

" I was coming to meet you, I have good news. Ralph is on the way with a heart to Churchill."

Thomas' body loosened up hearing the news. "You found the donor? Oh, thank God!"

Liam chuckled. "Thank you, not God, Thomas. I ordered Ralph to kill a man who matched Ethan's

blood group. Your boss will be saved."

Thomas nodded. Liam proved to be a good alliance. He stood like a mountain with them in a difficult

time. He sighed in relief and started the conversation he came to do.

"Aurora agreed to marry you."

Liam nodded. "I told you."

Thomas gave him a curt nod and took a step closer to him, looked into his eyes and said: "I agree to

the marriage because my niece wanted it. But remember one thing, Liam, if you ever hurt my Aurora, I

will give a damn that she is married to you or about a so-called peace. For me, my Aurora is

everything."

Liam chuckled. He knew Thomas was protective of Aurora, but that didn't give him the right to talk to

him like this. "She will be in my territory, my wife and whatever happens in my marriage will not be your

concern, Thomas. You try to have your territory and your King who is on the deathbed right now. What I

did for Ethan is a sign of how much I want this peace. So, I suggest we stop this warning thing and

strengthen our bonds."

Thomas kept his gaze on him but gave him a curt nod. "We can do that."

Aurora eyed the injured body of her father, she wanted nothing but to run and hug her father. She

chuckled thinking about the days when she used to play doctor-patient games with him in her childhood

and he used to be her patient. He used to ask for a kiss as his medicine and after she kissed him he

pretended to be Superman.

Today once again, Aurora wanted her father to be Superman again. She placed a soft kiss on his head.

A few tears fell on him. "You will be healthy again, dad. I will make it happen. I am sorry, I can't take

your pain away, Dad. But I won't let you leave like Mom. You can't leave your Aurora alone. Today I

came to know everything is because of you, if you would have been fine, he could never have forced

this marriage on me. Never dad! But I will not be weak anymore. If he thinks that I will behave like a

damsel in distress that he has another thing coming."

Aurora wiped her tears, she went to Liam he was talking over the phone to someone. She went a little

closer to gain his attention, he slanted his eyes to her and raised a finger to stop him.

Aurora inhaled sharply, she recalled how she used to barge into his cabin not caring about him being in

a meeting with someone or talking to someone over the phone. She thought she was the most

important person in his life and everything else came secondary to her but how stupid was she!

"I will talk to you, later, dad but prepare for a big reception. I want everyone to know that Liam Knight is

married to Aurora Kings and Now, we are one united force."

Liam wanted to send a message to his rivals and enemies, that now, he was standing beside Ethan

Kings's daughter. She was his wife and dare anyone who even think about harming her.

But when Aurora heard his words she was enraged. The man was rubbing salt to her raw wounds, he

was mocking her words, how proudly she challenged him that she would never marry him and here he

not only made her beg to marry him but now was he was going to show off his victory in front of the

whole world that he made her his.

She understood he was doing all this to humiliate her.

Aurora fisted her hand and moved to him when he ended the call. "Yes," he asked in a stoic tone.

"When will your man come here? I will not marry till the surgery starts."

Liam arched his brows. "Who says you have any say in this matter, Little one. As I said, my lawyer will

be here in less than five minutes now, and you will marry me. Ralph is coming with the heart and a

medical team, your father will be saved. But once we are married you are coming with me to Vancouver

and do as I ask you to do, I will no longer tolerate your tantrums. Now smile, little one, we are about to

get married in five minutes."

Aurora fisted his hands tightly and nodded. Tears wanted to swell in her eyes but this time she didn't

allow them to come. She promised herself to be strong.

As per his words, exactly after five minutes, his lawyer was there with a marriage officiate for a civil

marriage.

When Aurora came wearing the same clothes she was wearing since morning, Liam was furious. If it

was her way of showing her resilience then he would make her pay for it. He grabbed her hand, and

pulled her aside, "you will wear this for the wedding."

She snatched her hand away. "I am sorry to break your bubble but my father is in ICU, waiting for the

surgery and I can't force myself to dress up for my marriage when all I think about was my father's

health."

Liam gritted his jaw. "Since you came here directly from the airport, I gather you might have your

luggage with you, go amd change into something presentable," he ordered.

Aurora shook her head but she knew she didnt have any other option. She went to the visitor's to

change her clothes. She dressed up in a cream coloured suit and applied light make-up with shaky

hands.

That's not how she wanted her wedding day to be, she had planned everything like a fairy tale

wedding. She wanted to have a grand wedding just like her parents, she would have worn a white

wedding dress and her father would have walked her down the aisle. But all her dreams remained just

that, dreams. Aurora checked herself one last time in the mirror before walking out of the room and

going back to Liam.

She met Thomas halfway, he smiled at her sadly, she understood his pain. He had walked her mother

down the aisle when she married her father."You look exactly like, Savi, Honey."

Aurora nodded and he chuckled. "Ethan had so many dreams about your special day. I never thought

you will marry like this."

"Don't be sad, Uncle. Maybe, mom wanted you to walk me to my husband, just like you did with her. My

dad will be fine soon and then I will be spending all my time with him."

Thomas smiled. "Come, let's not delay the marriage any longer."

Liam was standing with the Lawyer and priest. Unlike her, he was wearing the same clothes but who

was she to point out that to him. she swallowed anxiously with every step she took towards him.

Her heart thumped wildly when she stopped in front of him. He flashed a smile to her. To everyone else

in the room or looker as if he was trying to make her feel comfortable. He was trying to divert her mind

from the fact that ber father was fighting for his life in the side room but Aurora know it was not like that.

He was not making her feel comfortable, no, he was mocking her. He was telling her that see what I

made you do. She gulped, looking down and the priest started the ceremony.

"Do you, Aurora Savannah Kings, take Liam Knight, as your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest

asked.

She closed her eyes only for a moment and opened them again. "Yes, I do." She answered.

"Do you, Liam Knight, take Aurora Savannah Kings, as your lawfully, wedded wife?"

"I do," Liam said in a loud and clear voice and with these words he declared Aurora as his. Now she

officially belongs to him.

"You may kiss the bride."

Aurora fisted her hands tightly, so tightly that her nails bit the soft skin of her palms when he pulled her

closer to him.

An egoistic smirk was flashing on his lips but it was his eyes which made her toes curled not in

happiness but fear. They were stating that he won!

"Congratulations, Mrs Knight," saying that he placed his lips on hers and gave her a soft peck. Aurora

swallowed the fearful lump in her throat when he stopped at only a soft peck on her lips.

He moved near her ear, "Dont think I will not claim you tonight, Little one. I can't wait to be with you

tonight and fuck you as your husband. You have become a drug for me, little one. Be ready for an

adventurous night."

She closed her eyes at his crude words after pushing his away from her lightly.

You wanted to marry me, I accepted but I won't let you break me, Liam Knight.

Not more than you already did.

They just finished the ceremony when Ralph reached the hospital with the medical team and the heart.

Aurora's eyes perked with happy tears because now her father would breathe again, he would be fine,

again but she was not aware of the fact that someone else list his breathes to save Ethan Kings.

The doctors didn't wait for a single second more before starting the surgery, they're fear for their own

life. They all knew their lives were at stake as well because if anything happened to Ethan Kings,

Thomas would kill them all.

Aurora was praying for her father's safety to whatever third power present up there. Her hand was

touching her mother's necklace til the surgery was going on and only left it when the doctors stepped

out of the operation theatre after eight hours of the surgery.

For eight hours she forgot everything, her marriage, Liam's cruelty, his deception. Nothing matters to

her, the only person who.mattered was her father and his safety.

Aurora ran to the doctors, Thomas who was standing beside the door straightened and Liam walked to

them while Ralph stood beside his brother.

"Doctor, how is dad?" Aurora asled before anyone else could.

"The surgery has been successful but…"

Aurora's heart thumped. "But what? If the surgery is successful then what is wrong?"

"Miss Kings…"

"It's Mrs Knight, now!" Liam corrected the doctor who gulped nervously and apologised to Aurora who

gave Liam a disgusted look before turning back her gaze to the doctor.

"Doctor, tell me, what happened," she cried. Thomas patted he shoulder and asked the same question

to the doctor. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"He went to comma, Mrs Knight. We didnt know when he would wake up again!"

Aurora went numb hearing the doctor. "comma!" She whispered the words painfully, not believing that

her life had turned upside down in a course of twenty- four hours!

"He is in a coma and it will take a few months for him to wake up."

"What do you mean doctor? Tell me clearly!" Thomas snapped.

"Due to lack of oxygen, there is swelling in his brain. He is in a medical coma till the swelling doesn't

fade away."

"But he will be fine, like before, right?" Aurora demanded.

"Yes, Mrs Knight. He will be once he heals properly but it will be a long procedure.

Aurora was ready to wait for whatever time was required because she knew once her father was

awake he would protect her from the monster who had become her husband now!
