His Purchased Wife

Chapter 31.

"Are you ready girls…" Emily asked in her chirping morning voice.

"Ya…" I drawled, frowning at her attire.

"What the hell are you wearing?" I asked, giving her an unimpressed look. She was wearing a gown, a

godforsaken gown with a hat. And not just any gown she was dressed in the fashion of the 1920s.

"I am going on a cruise, a goddamn cruiser Aurora and that too with Mr hot billionaire. Oh! How I

always wanted to recreate the Titanic signature scene. So I dressed accordingly," she joined her hands

together, her face holding an overwhelming expression with her eyebrows raised and lips curved in a

smile. Her eyes held a dreamy look.

"Em! I think you really need a shrink."

She rolled her eyes. "I don't need a shrink, I need another orgasm."

I huffed, shaking my head. She won't stop her idiotic chatter and I need to get ready for the cruise. I

could not afford to be late.

I was about to move but the door of Susan's room opened and she stepped outside wearing a simple

white off-shoulder dress.

"Are you both ready…" she asked but stopped when her eyes moved to Emily.

"What the hell are you wearing?"

Emily gasped at the tone of Susan's voice. "What?" She snapped, putting her hand on her chest.

"We are contestants of a Jewellery designing competition, not some fancy dress contest. So do us a

favour and change into something modern."

"Madam wanted to recreate Titanic's signature pose with that hot billionaire," I told Susan about Emily's

plan with crossing my hands to my chest.

"Yes, so what is the problem with that?"

Susan walked to her and rested her hand on Emily's shoulder. "If you don't want your fate to end up

like Titanic's then just go and change into something tolerable, Emily Samson or I will throw you in the

sea over the top of that cruise, I promise or so, Help me god!"

She pinched her lips in a thin line. Her brows pulled together as she stood up from the couch she was

sitting upon. "You both just can't see me happy, Hm!" Saying that she turned on her heels and thumbed

the door of her room soundly that our ears screeched at the sound.

I shook my head in irritation but then, Susan looked my way "and why the hell are you not dressed

yet?"

I raised my hands in the air, gesturing surrender. "Okay, I am going."

"Do that."

I turned and rolled my eyes because I couldn't do that in front of her. Susan was like a Mamma hen

when she was angry. I walked to my room and changed into a beautiful baby blue tank top and a white

skirt. I was confused with my hairstyle so I decided to do a French braid.

"Perfect," I complimented myself with a flying kiss to my impression in the mirror. Gripping the handle of

my handbag I walked out of the room and found Emily dressed in a sect high slit black dress.

"Em! Really, are we going to a ball?"

She rolled her eyes, "look both of you, I changed my dress once already and not going to do that again.

So whether you like it or not I am wearing it!"

"God, give me patience today with both of you!" Susan muttered under her breath.

"What did I do?"

"You took thirty-five minutes to get ready, goddamnit!" Susan snapped.

I rolled my lips inward and sighed. "Only thirty-five minutes Susan."

She raised her hand to stop us from talking any further than she rolled her fingers inward and pointed

her forefinger at Emily and me both.

"We don't have time to waste on these stupid things, girls. I am begging you both to please be serious

about this competition now because not it's only between five contestants. Now it's the fight for our

survival."

She looked at me and I straightened up my spine. "Aurora, your dreams, our dreams," she pointed her

finger to Emily and her both. "depends on your next designs, don't forget last time it was nothing but

pure luck that we got selected."

I nodded in understanding. She was right, enjoying the trip was okay but I don't forget that I came here

for work, not for holidays.

"Are we clear, girls!" She asked.

"Yes!" Emily and I spoke at the same time. We both squeezed our eyes and blew her a kiss. She

smiled and we all walked out of our room and met Katie in the auditorium where she informed us about

the Cruise and the next round of the contest.

"A designer must realise the importance of the development of their designs. Drawing a design on

paper was another thing, but crafting it, in reality, was different. So in the next round, you all have to

craft your designs not on paper but metal. Yes, you hear me right now you have made them yourself

too using real diamonds, so be careful while doing it because a single mistake and your journey here in

this contest will be over."

I took in a sharp breath to calm my racing heart. "I can do it! No need to be scared," I reminded myself.

"Now a minibus is waiting for you all outside the hotel to take you to the port. Don't forget to enjoy the

trip," she said smiling.

We ascended the minibus which took us to the Vancouver, BC port and we finally ascended the cruise

ship.

"This is perfect," Susan whispered and I nodded in agreement.

"It's more than perfect Susan, it's breathtaking!" I mumbled. Although I have travelled through private

planes and lived a luxurious life and seen every kind of luxury. This felt different because I was here on

my own and not just spending dad's hard-earned money, it's not like there was any difference.

I mean my Dad's money is my money, right! But still, it felt more fulfilling, I guess.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen." Katie greeted us with her all-time smile pasted on her lips. I looked

at her perfect slim body again and felt jealous over it. How could someone be this perfect? She handed

us keys to our cabins and we left for our cabins with an attendant.

Emily whistled when the attendant opened the door of our cabin. "It's magnificent, babe!"

I was even astounded by the beauty of our cabin. It was just too beautiful to describe in words. The

balcony in our cabin gave us the view of the pacific ocean making us enjoy this cruise even more

closely.

"Okay, now girls. Let's rest a bit. we have to meet Katie in two hours," Susan instructed us while laying

down on the bed.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

I went to the balcony and looked at the beautiful blue water of the pacific ocean. I touched the necklace

on my chest. "I want you to be with me, mom. I want to win this contest and make you and grandpa

proud."

I closed my eyes and mom's smiling face flashed into them. I bit my lip in happiness. It felt as if she

was just here with me.

I sniffed the salty sea air. It felt liberating to be here at this moment and I feel rejuvenated being here.

On the other hand…

Liam was sitting on his chair clenching and unclenching his hand while listening to his brother over the

phone who was in Dallas.

"You think I don't know that Ralph, I knew Ethan was hiding something from me. Find the reason Ralph

because I won't let him back down on his words!" Liam gritted out every word.

"I will but we both know Ethan, he is good at doing his business. All I know is that he met Mexicans

twice. Why? No idea…"

Liam Punched the table in front of him so hard that things placed on it scattered all over the table.

"If he is good, then I am the best in doing business, Ralph. I want all the details, why did he meet

Mexicans when there was an old rivalry between him and Antonio."

"Let me dig up more."

Liam ended the call after that but his body was raging in cold fury. Adrenaline shooting down his body

with such proximity that he found it impossible to compose. Liam Knight needed something or someone

to calm his mind.

There was this feeling in his body that was making him insane with every passing second. It was a

feeling as if someone would snatch his favourite toy from him and he couldn't let that happen. He

couldn't allow anyone to have something that belonged to him.

This time that favourite toy was none other than Aurora Kings. The temptress who had made him

insane to the level of destruction. For the first time in his life, Liam knight was stunned because a mere

girl almost succeeded in kicking him in the balls.

He was shocked at his relaxation. He could counter back even if he felt something was wrong. He

could kill a man with it even blinking a second and here a girl who didn't even know how to kill a fly

almost kicked him in the balls!

That stunned Liam knight!

He was beyond angry. He was raging like a volcano that was about to burst.

He was clenching and unclenching his hand when a knock sounded on his office door.

He took a sharp breath and ordered the person to enter.

"Sir, the best cabin of the cruise is given to Miss kings as per your orders," Katie informed Liam who

turned and looked at her.

He gave her a nod. "Make sure she settled well and also make the next round of the competition

impossible for her to win…" he ordered Katie and she was shocked to the core.

"But sir…"

Liam raised his brows and Katie looked down.

"I apologise for questioning your decisions sir but couldn't stop myself from asking," She mumbled.

Liam smirked outwardly but inwardly he was still in a rage. "Do as I say, Katie and wait for my next

order."

Katie nodded and left. Liam sat back on his chair with a mocking smile on his face.

"My little tigritsa! You need to get punished for the little stunt you pulled on me yesterday…"
