Love Wins Over Lust novel Chapter 30

"I am ashamed of my son, Aurora. I understand the pain you went through…"

Aurora shook her head and patted Penny's hands in comfort. "You are taking it all wrong Penny. Your son was a certified jerk, even now he sometimes behaves like one but now he is a completely different person from what he was a few months ago," she said, Penny searched her eyes to see if Aurora was doing what she used to do, hiding the truth of her husband.

"You can share the truth of your relationship, Aurora. Don't be afraid of Liam."

"Liam has ruined his image in everyone's eyes," she said, shaking her head. "When he was pretending his love, everyone believed him, and now that he loves me, everyone is doubting him. My poor husband!"

Penny visibly relaxed when she noticed the sparkle of happiness in her eyes. "Thank you for clearing all my doubts dear, you don't know how guilty I have been feeling since last night. "

Aurora smiled. "I know, initially when I found out about my pregnancy, I was scared too but then I saw how happy he was hearing the news. Liam is what he is and I have accepted his reality. I won't say that it was easy for me when I came to know about his and my dad's real identity, I was shocked, Penny. I went numb when Thomas told me about my dad's real business but when he told me that my mother knew about it and the story behind her death. I know that I have to accept this reality. Liam is not perfect but he is perfect for me. I love him, Penny."

Penny smiled. "This Love made people do silly things, Aurora. I want to run away from this life to save my husband but I guess…" she sighed and looked down sadly.

"I have asked Liam to talk to you and he will do it, and I am sure that right now he must be getting out his frustration on something. But he will come to you, Penny and soon."

"I can't thank you enough, Aurora. I can't thank you enough, my dear child."

She shrugged her shoulders. "You can thank me by ordering one more cup of this jelly ice cream. I am loving it. You know what, I will be taking a whole bunch of this home because it's yummy!" She said, moaning loudly. Her moans made a few heads turn towards their table.

"Alright, one more ice cream on the way, Aurora," Penny laughed and ordered a big cup of jelly ice cream for Aurora.

Aurora was in a dilemma. She wanted to talk to Penny about it but didn't know how to start the conversation. "Penny, is there any girl in Ralph's life?"

Penny frowned. "Not that I know, but why are you asking?"

Aurora shrugged her shoulders. "I just asked, you know…"

Penny raised her brows. "There might be someone he wants but…"

"But what? Don't tell me it's someone else, I won't let him move on in life when Susan…" Aurora's mouth hung open seeing the look of victory on her

face. "Now you will tell me exactly what happened between my son and your friend, Aurora."

"You all are the same. Your husband, your son and you too," she huffed and then laughed. "But I like you the most among other members of your family after my husband."

"Thank you for the compliments but now tell me about Susan and Ralph."

"I don't know much except for what Liam told me, they were in a relationship and then they broke up."

"That's it! You don't know what happened between them, the reason for their break up?"

Aurora sighed deeply, shaking her head. "No, Susan didn't tell me the whole truth except he used her to keep an eye on me and when she came to know about it she kicked him out of her life. But I know that's not it, there is more, Penny, much more! I know Susan enough to know that if she gets into a relationship with him. It was not a plaything for her. I don't want her to lose something precious. She is broken and hurt inside, her past played a big role in it but I want her to forget her past and move on with happiness."

"I talked with Ralph but I am not sure what he is thinking at this moment, I only want my children to be happy," she looked at Aurora who was lost in deep thought.

"Penny, shall we try to help them… you know in bringing them together," she asked with excited eyes.

Penny shook her head. "I tried but after last night, I think it's best if Ralph and Susan solve their own problems, Aurora. Ralph looks like a good-hearted nice man but I know he has another side which he hides from everyone. A dark and dangerous side, I love him but I don't want someone to suffer the same fate we both went through. If Susan loves him and if Ralph loves her, they will find each other again. No matter how difficult or darker their journey will be, we should let them be the guide on their own roads and not interfere in their journey."

Aurora blinked twice, her throat tightened with emotions hearing her mother-in-law. "I understand the path I crossed for my love, this journey was not at all an easy one for me. I was a completely different person before meeting Liam and now I am completely changed from that bratty, childish Aurora but now," she touched her belly, "the fruit of our union is here and this journey gave me the love of my life, Penny. And it wouldn't have been possible without Susan. She pushed me to be with Liam and now, I want her to feel the same happiness I am feeling, I want her to be with the love of her life and I know Ralph is the only one for her."

Penny nodded. "I pray that they will find each other."

Aurora inclined her head. "Me too," she said and then took a big spoon of ice cream in her mouth. "Can you order another cup…" that made Penny laugh but she ordered another cup of the ice cream for her.

"He cancelled the drug delivery from Moscow."

Liam snapped his eyes at Ralph who informed him about it with a stoic face. But Liam's reaction was exactly the opposite of Ralph's. His mind burst with Rage. "I knew it, I knew he would do something like this. He wants to start an open war with Liam Knight. Fine, I don't care about anything anymore, this time no one will come between us. Not my friend and neither any other relationship. Dmitry Kyschove will cry bloody tears for this."

Ralph sighed and leaned back in his chair casually. "He is doing what he is known for, Liam. Taking revenge, have you forgotten how he took power in Russia? He is literally known as the monster. I told you many times not to harm Alexandrio but you not only attacked him but his wife too and you think Dmitry will not take revenge! He was silent for the last few months and that's because he wanted you to get relaxed and now he struck and I know it won't be the last time he is doing it."

Liam punched the desk hard, the things over it scattered like broken leaves, "Fine, he wants revenge from me, he can do whatever he wants because he will suffer for every single attack he does to me," he snapped at Ralph who was about to speak but stopped when Liam's cell phone rang.

He frowned seeing the Caller ID. "What? Who is it?"

"Dmitry Kyschove!"

Ralph turned his head and sighed deeply. "He has started his revenge game."

Liam glared at Ralph and accepted the call after five rings, he didn't want Dmitry to see that his attack had affected him in any way. "Dmitry."

Liam's hand was fisted tightly, he was controlling his anger. "Liam, how do you like my present, dear foe?"

"You really think that I have time to think about these minor issues, Dmitry. I gave you credit for being smarter than this, cancelling the drug deal, really?" He said with a chuckle, Liam wanted to provoke Dmitry but Dmitry Kyschove was not someone who didn't know how to read between the lines.

Dmitry burst out laughing. "Liam, that's what I like about you. No matter what, but you always try to show yourself brave and unaffected by the things which affect you greatly. It's just I know how your work, Liam. You should have thought about the consequences of attacking my brother. I am not like that masked man, Liam. I am feared by the fear itself. I am starting this war and I won't play fair!"

Liam threw the phone on the table loudly. "Dmitry Kyschove! I won't leave you alive!".

Ralph shook his head. "We have to be ready for whatever the future holds for us, Dmitry is dangerous when angry!"

"Let him be angry then, he thinks that nobody will give me drugs," he fisted his hands. "Call the Irish Mafia head and ask for the deal."

"Irish, Liam I killed his nephew!"

Liam gave him a disgusted look. "We kill people all the time, what's new in that?"

Ralph knew there was no point in discussing the matter with him anymore. "Okay, I will do it," saying that he left.

Liam kicked the chair behind him hard. His life was once again messed up and this time his enemy was not hidden behind a mask, he was declaring an open war and Liam had no other option than to fight the war.

Dmitry was right on one end, he was not like the masked man who hides away, Dmitry was a kind of man who loved to fight face to face, savagely.

He attacked Brutally and killed mercilessly!

If it would have been another time when Liam's sole motto was getting the Canadian Mafia under his control, he would have been overjoyed by the war, killing Dmitry was not less than an adventurous victory for him but now, after Aurora, things had changed a lot! He had changed and now the war was not as thrilling as he used to take it before.

Only he knew what he suffered when Aurora was kidnapped by that masked man. The pain he felt seeing her bruised face, it couldn't be described in words. "What a mess!" He cursed and called his wife to hear her soothing voice.

Aurora smiled when she accepted the call. "What are you doing, Baby?"

"I am coming home, Little one. I need to see you."

Aurora frowned when he abruptly ended the call. She wanted to do some shopping but now she had to go home. She ordered her driver-cum-body guard to take her home.

Liam reached home just after her, Aurora was dressed into a soft nightgown, she had not started showing yet but she couldn't wait to see her belly ripe with her child inside. She wanted to feel its first kick and hold the baby in her arms.

Her eyes went to the necklace on her neck. "Mom, you were with me through this journey and I want you to be with my child too," she traced the necklace, one day she would pass this necklace to her child. Tears swirled in her eyes thinking about it before she could wipe the tears Liam opened the door and entered the room.

"You were crying? Why? Did someone hurt you, Aurora?" He demanded. Liam was already angry over the situation and now seeing his wife's teary eyes he was enraged.

Aurora frowned. She could see he was angry about something, "no one hurted me, I was missing my mom but…" before she could finish the sentence he sprinted towards her and pulled her in his arms. "I need you," saying that he kissed her, his action was so unexpected that she forgot to breathe for a moment out of shock.

Aurora blinked and kissed him back with equal passion. Liam's lips went to her neck, Aurora was lost in the moment of heat and passion, she allowed him to do anything he wanted to do, she was enjoying the pleasure he was giving her. "I want more Liam, harder, fuck me harder!"

Who was Liam to deny his wife's needs? He increased the speed and circled her clitoris to increase her pleasure. Aurora cried loudly in passion when she came hard, Liam following her.

They were in the bed, in each other's arms, Liam was thinking about the challenge Dmitry threw at him, he couldn't lose Aurora, his family. For the first time in his life, Liam realised what fear feels like.

"Liam, have you thought about it?"

Liam looked at her, "about what?"

"You have not heard a word I said to you right?" She said with angry eyes.

He sighed and turned towards her fully, "I apologise, tell me what you were talking about?"

"When will you talk to your mother, Liam? I thought you would do it today."

Liam sighed, he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Aurora, please! Not now. I am already pissed about something, I don't want you to start this again."

She sat up abruptly, ripped the quilt over his body and wrapped it around herself. "You are always pissed about things, there is nothing new in that. I am giving you one more day, that is tomorrow, if you didn't talk to her till tomorrow, I will shift with Susan in her apartment!" Saying that she walked to the closet.

Liam punched the bed in anger. His day started with problems and ended with problems. All things aside he hated it when Aurora asked him to do things he didn't want to do but had to do to make her happy.

Now he had to do another thing to make her happy and he would do it, for her, his wife, Aurora.
