Married to the Mafia Boss

Aurora was crying the whole flight. The moments she shared with Liam flashed through her memory lane increasing the heartache. She couldn’t forget the words he said about her.

The man she loved with all her heart was nothing but a lying bastard. He manipulated her to marry him and why, for money, her father’s business.

Aurora had no idea what she was going to tell her father. She knew he would be angry and will try to ruin Liam but her heart hammered over the thought of Liam getting hurt.

Aurora wiped her tears and reminded herself that the lying bastard deserved that. She gulped the lump in her throat and fastened her seatbelt as the flight was about to land.

She couldn’t wait to go to her father and wrap herself in his strong arms. Her father would make the heartache go away. He would take away all her pain and suffering like he used to do when she was young.

She stood up to leave, as it landed. When she was about to descend the stairs, she turned on her cell phone. There were tens of missed calls from Thomas and Liam. She blocked Liam’s number first and then dialled Thomas.

She was a little confused seeing these many calls from Thomas because he never called her this many times. That’s not his style but her father’s.

Dad might have asked him to call me.

Thinking that she waited for Thomas to accept her call. He did the third ring but today his voice was not right. There was something different in his voice, she couldn’t point it out. Something was off about him today.

“God damn it, Aurora, next time inform someone before doing something like this, you scared me, honey.”

He used the endearment he used to use when Aurora was a child. The tears once again perked in her throat. “Uncle!” She choked but cleared her throat. She couldn’t tell him this. Not like this!

“Aurora, tell me where are you?”

She was descending the stairs while talking to him. “Listen to me, Aurora. Don’t step out of the Airport, I am about to reach there, alright, honey. Don’t come out.”

“Uncle, what happened, I can come on my own…”

“For God sake, Aurora do as you are told to do for once at least.”

She gasped. Thomas had never scolded her, not even when she was a child. “Okay.” She agreed and ended the call. When she reached inside two giants came to her. She had never seen them before, “please come with us, Miss Kings.”

Aurora frowned. “Who are you?” She felt something fishy and was about to scream for help to the nearby security when the men shook their heads.

“We are Liam Knight’s men and we are here to protect you.”

She greeted her jaw in anger. The bastard was trying to kidnap her now. She stepped forward and glared into their eyes. “If you don’t want me to scream bloody murder here, get the fuck away from me. I don’t want anything from your boss, do you understand me?”

The men nodded. “As you say, madam,” they stepped back to show that they were leaving but stayed nearby just in case they were needed.

Thomas reached the airport with an army of soldiers. Nothing was safe in Churchill at this moment, his friend was fighting a battle with life and death and his niece was in danger. He couldn’t risk an attack on himself right now, he was the only one left for his niece till Ethan gets fine. His heart fastened at the thought of what if something happened to Ethan? How would Aurora survive? Would he be able to cope in this world without his friend?

He once again failed his God-Sister, Savannah. He promised to take care of her family after her and failed. He couldn’t sniff the trap of Juan. He failed as the counsellor of Ethan. He didn’t sense that someone else was going to attack them. One thing was sure, Thomas was going to find this masked man and kill him brutally for his actions.

Thomas called Aurora and she came to him running. “Uncle, take me away from here please.”

His body stiffened. “What happened, honey? Have you sensed something wrong here?”

Aurora shook her head. “No, I just want to meet dad. Please take me to him, Uncle. I need him.”

Once again, Thomas went stiff, his heartfelt cold hearing Aurora. “Honey…” he started but couldn’t tell her. How was the girl able to handle the news? He still recalled the shock she went through when Savannah died. Her first word when she gets conscious again was, Momma. Ethan was everything for her, she wouldn’t be able to handle the news but he needed to tell her.

“Let’s get you out of here first.”

Once they were in his car, Aurora frowned when she saw many cars following them. “Uncle… what is all this? What is happening here, tell me please!”

Thomas gritted his jaw and kept driving. He needed to be at the hospital as soon as possible. Aurora was safe with him, once Liam will be here she would go back to Vancouver, till he gets the situation under control, treating her with kids gloves was not an option anymore.

“Uncle stop the car and tell me, please!” She begged him. Aurora was scared, there was something wrong, definitely wrong and she feared that Ky has something to do with her father. Her suspicion turned into reality when he stopped the car at the hospital. “Where is Dad, Thomas?” She demanded.

Her heart quickened in anxiety. She knew it was related to her father. “Tell me, where is my dad?” She yelled this time making Thomas sigh in frustration.

“I will tell you everything but first we need to get out of here, Aurora. It’s not safe to be here. Come with me,” he took her to the private wing where Ethan was being treated. Aurora’s heart hammered against her ribcage with every step she took.

“Uncle please tell me, where is dad? He is fine, right?” She whispered in a frightened tone.

Thomas rested both her shoulders and made her look in his eyes once they reached outside the ICU. “Aurora, your father had been shot, he is serious amd doctors had asked for a heart transplant. The doctor has asked us to be prepared for everything.”

Aurora was numb. She forgot how to breathe and kept staring at Thomas in shock. Her father could die? She could lose him just like she lost her mother.

Thomas jerked Aurora to get some reaction. She went numb in his hold and was staring at him without blinking. “Aurora, Honey. Say something.”

She inhaled a sharp breath, her eyes widened and a single tear rolled down her cheek. “Dad!” She whispered painfully.

“Aurora…”

She was gasping for air, her mind froze and her body went cold. Her legs were shaken and she fell on her knees. “Dad…” she screamed. Thomas sat down to her level. “Honey… look at me.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Aurora shook her head. She had nothing except for her father. “Dad… I can’t lose him, Uncle. I can’t. I have no one except for him!” She kept mumbling that, Aurora had lost all the senses to think, her father’s happy face flashed inform of her eyes and she left a loud painful screech.

She clutched Thomas’ shirt and stood up with wobbly legs. Her cheeks were stained with tears, and she was shaking all over, ” I want to meet dad, where is he, I want to see him. He will be fine once he sees me, Uncle. He will be fine, once he sees me.”

She ran toward the ICU but Thomas grabbed her hands and halted her steps. “You can’t go in there, Aurora. The doctors are checking him.”

She shook her head. “Who shot him? He didnt does bad to anyone. He has helped thousands of men, uncle. He is the biggest philanthropist of Canada, why would anyone harm him?”

Thomas closed his eyes. Only if he could tell her the truth. “Answer me!” Aurora cried.

He pulled her in his arms. Aurora left a heart-wrenching sob in his arms. She was nothing without her father. ” Some bad people were after him for a long time, honey. They shot him cowardly.”

Aurora got out of his arms. “Who? I will kill them, uncle. I will kill them all. The police have found out something tell me who are they?”

What have you done, Ethan? I told you many times not to hide our reality from Aurora and see in what situation you have landed us. The girl will not be able to handle the reality.

“Tell me the names, I want them dead, uncle. I want them dead.”

“I am handling that, please get your emotions under control Aurora. Ethan needs you to be strong for him. We have only you.”

Before Aurora could say anything the room of the ICU opened and doctors came out of it. Aurora ran to them, Thomas following her.

“My dad is fine, right. Nothing will happen to him…”

The doctors remained silent seeing Aurora’s condition. They fear their life too as they knew who Ethan King was not to mention Thomas was as cruel as Ethan.

“Say something!” Thomas yelled at them. The head doctor gulped before speaking. “We can’t find a heart..”

“Take mine, I am ready to give my heart to save dad.”

The Doctor was shocked. “Mam, this is impossible!”

Thomas shook his head at Aurora, silencing her. “I don’t care what it takes you to find a heart…”

“Sir, we have donors but the problem is Mr Kings has the rare blood group. It’s almost impossible to find a donor with the same blood group. We did everything but…”

“I don’t care, What you do, save my dad!” She cried hugging Thomas who ordered the doctors to remain there as he needed to talk to them but first he took Aurora to the chair and made her sit on it.

“I am going to talk to the doctor, sit here,” she denied but agreed when he firmly told her to let him handle the situation. Thomas nodded at two of the guards standing beside her.

Thomas went back to the doctors. “What’s your blood group, doctor?”

The doctor got scared. “Sir, my blood group doesn’t match, Mr Kings as well, if it did I would have gladly donated my heart to save my family from any harm.”

Thomas glanced at the other doctor who said the same thing. “We are trying to find the donor but we don’t have time. If the surgery doesn’t start in six hours, we would not be able to save him.”

Thomas fisted his hand as he watched the doctors sprinting away from him. For the second time in his life, Thomas felt helpless but he didnt give up. He called every underboss of his city and asked him to find someone with that blood group. He would save his friend even if someone else has to die for it.

He eyed Aurora who was crying silently, trembling in fear. “I will protect your, family, Savi. I will do anything to protect your husband and daughter.”

When Liam landed in Churchill he was immediately informed by his men about the situation. With every word from the spy’s mouth, his heart beats faster. He could only imagine what Aurora was going through at this moment.

He informed Thomas about his presence in the hospital so that he would not have any issues while reaching the private wing. Liam didnt want to kill anyone at this crucial time.

They needed as many men as possible other threat of another attack was in the air.

Thomas was talking to someone over the phone, ordering the person on the other end to find a donor with a specific blood group. He went to him when he ended the call.

“Thomas.”

He nodded. No words of condolences were needed among them. The mere presence of Liam was enough to show that he was the friend not the foe anymore. He asked Thomas about the blood type and Liam frowned.

His eyes went to Aurora who was crying on the chair. She looked so small as if she was a child. “She might be able to handle herself better seeing you.”

Liam understood the unspoken plead in his voice. He wants Liam to support Aurora. Only if he knew what happened between them. He wanted to go to her, hug her, console her but he was not going to do it.

He hated seeing her like this but her words were still fresh in his mind.

I won’t even spit on your face, let alone marry you, Liam Knight.

But she would do it, because Liam had something, which can change the direction of this game, for everyone. He had someone who can save Ethan King but he was not going to tell it to Thomas, not till he got what he wanted.

Liam was an opportunity and right now, he had the biggest opportunity to grab Aurora Kings in his hands, forever!
