Chapter 11

The next day when Aurora went to the restaurant but Gabriel was not available. She was disappointed and decided to go there the next day. Once again she was out of luck and couldn't meet him.

It was the fifth day she met him or the right words would be bumped into him again. A small smile broke on her lips. She was happy to see him but he was not.

She wanted to say so many things to him but he didn't let her speak.

"I am sorry, miss high and mighty and I apologise if I ruin your dress again," he said, taunting her.

Aurora bit her lip from inside but she remained silent, letting him vent out his anger. "Please tell me how much I need to pay you for…" he kept saying but there was a limit to Aurora's tolerance.

"Enough! Okay, I get it I was wrong that day but that doesn't mean you will insult me whenever you see me," she snapped at him.

"Look..."

"No, you look! I… I have been coming here for the past five days to apologise to you. I get it. I was rude that day but now you are doing the same with me…"

A tear strolled down her cheek and she wiped it with a shaking hand. "I… You Know what? It was my fault that I came here…" she said and started walking away but Gabriel grabbed her hand tightly and pulled her towards him.

Aurora tried to struggle out of his hold but it was too tight for her "Stop crying!" He said in a tone as if ordering her.

"Leave me!" She told him.

"I said wipe your tears."

She was still trying to get away from him but stopped when he raised her chin with his thumb and stared into her eyes. Aurora's vision blurred due to tears in her eyes.

He wiped them, "I am sorry if I hurt you."

Aurora gulped and nodded. "What's your name?" He asked her, this time in a soft tone.

Her throat turned dry at the intensity of his voice. "Aurora," she somehow managed to reply.

"Aurora, I am hungry and alone, would you grant me your company for lunch?"

She searched his eyes. "Yes…" she replied in the same soft tone. She was lost in those beautiful blue eyes and didn't even know why she accepted his offer.

He nodded, "after you, Madam." He said leaving her and gesturing his hand for her to walk first.

Once inside, he behaved like a complete gentleman. We were in his office, he ordered the best dishes from his restaurant and they all were delicious.

That's how Aurora's friendship with Gabriel started. She likes spending time with him, especially the way he treated her. They asked about each other's likes and dislikes. One day Gabriel told her that he was going to meet his uncle in a faraway town and after that, he will come back here for a few days only to leave for camping in the forest. Gabriel goes camping every summer for about four months.

Aurora's face turned sad when he told her that but she masked it. Aurora didn't have a big friend circle, but she had one of the strongest ones. But what she felt for Gabriel was far more intense than friendship. She didn't want to look like a desperate girl but she wanted to meet him more.

When she went home she was sad, when her friends asked she gave them an evasive answer. But her mood lifted when Susan told her that Kevin Rawls, the designer who they wanted to hire for their jewellery brand, was hosting an exhibition in Dawson. It was a golden chance to meet him.

"But the problem is that the Exhibition is tonight," Emily told her, "and there is no flight available."

Aurora twisted her lips to one side, thinking about the solution. "Let me ask dad about his Jet."

"No…" Emily started but Aurora cut her off. "Em, I am not asking for money, only his plane to take us to Dawson. It's important for us."

Aurora called her father to ask for permission to use his plane.

Meanwhile, Liam Knight was in the plane, clenching and unclenching his hand. He should be focussing on Ethan right now, but no, there was one person who was distracting him with her curves.

Liam knight's thoughts were focused on Aurora, Ethan's daughter. He closed his eyes and her blue eyes flashed in his memory.

Liam knight has fallen in lust over the temptress known as Aurora Kings.

"F**k!" He cursed and gulped down his scotch in one swig. He needed to focus on his meeting with Ethan. Liam closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, trying to take his mind off the hardness between his legs.

But he couldn't, the throbbing was still there. Self-control had always been the issue for him but never had he lost control like that over a woman. The throbbing in his d**k was the proof that he, for the first time, lost it.

With no other option left he called his whore, Grace to s*ck him off and if the throbbing still didn't get calm he would f**k her too, depending on her skill and Liam was aware of her skills but today he doubted them.

Exactly, after twenty minutes he was sitting calmly with his seatbelt on as the plane landed. The trip was shortly planned. It would be a surprise or shock, depending upon Ethan how to take it.

Friend or foe, Liam would soon get to know it.

The black Mercedes was waiting outside for him. The small packet of we*d was stuffed in his pocket, he wanted to trade them to Victoria; the only way to do that was through Yellowknife and the territory came under Ethan's control. He was losing a lot of his shipments because of the Mexicans and not to mention the masked being a pain in his a$$.

So securing his ties with Ethan was a matter of need not want and he needed Ethan, at least for now.

On the other hand, Ethan raised his eyes to Thomas. "He came to my territory?"

"Asked for a meeting with you, boss."

Ethan's eyebrows pulled together, "asked or demanded, Thomas?" Ethan enquired.

"It was voiced as a request with a clear hint towards a demand. So the right word would be, he wanted you to acknowledge him as the new boss of Vancouver. As your counterpart, you're equal."

Ethan King threw his head back and laughed. "Let's meet the boy!" He said and Thomas eyes widened into a grin.
