Married to the Mafia Boss

Susan’s heart stopped beating for a moment. “What do you mean?”

Before Aurora could speak Emily entered her cabin with a smile on her face which ceased when she felt the thickness in the atmosphere of the cabin.

“Is everything alright?” She drawled suspiciously.

“No, actually I wanted to talk to you as well, Emily,” Aurora said, turning to her.

Emily scowled. “What about?”

“Did you know about Susan blocking Gabriel’s contact in my phone?”

Emily glanced at Susan’s ashen face. “Yes, I knew it and I h…” Before she could complete the sentence Susan interrupted her.

“She asked me not to do it but I warned her not to interfere or tell you, she didn’t want me to interfere in your life. It was my decision, Aurora. She has nothing to do with her.”

Emily opened her mouth to speak but closed it again when Susan shook her head. “You could have told me Em! Why did you not do it?” She gulped emotionally.

Aurora moved closer to Susan, her eyes were shining with tears. Aurora forced herself not to cry but she needed to do this. Susan needed to learn her boundaries. “We can’t be friends anymore, Susan. I am sorry but I don’t want a friend who didn’t know how to respect my personal space.”

Susan went numb. Her whole life was based on Aurora. She recalled how her mother asked Susan to take care of Aurora like an elder sister. She said that she was leaving Aurora in her care.

A lone tear rolled down Aurora’s cheek. “How could you say that? Does our relationship hold this little value in your eyes Aurora? Yes, Interfere in your life but I did it for you! Because I love you, I wanted to protect you, save you from an unhappy relationship and you are breaking our friendship over a relationship which no longer exists!”

Aurora’s own heart was crushed by her words. Susan was not only a friend she was her soul sister. She loved her but this time she needed to be firm about her decision. “Yes, Susan I am breaking our friendship but it has nothing to with Gabriel or my relationship. It’s because you did the same thing you accused Gabriel of doing. If he was trying to control me then so were you! Every time you interfere in my things, a little bit of interference is healthy, I accept it but what you did was not. My dad loves me too but have you ever seen him interfering in my life? No, because he knew my boundaries. He wanted me to marry Liam but when I denied he accepted my decision, Susan and I wants the same thing from you. But if you can’t give it to me then…”

Susan was enraged. “Then what? You will break up with me? Huh!” She demanded fiercely.

Aurora raised her chin in the air, proudly. “Yes.” She stated “I can’t be with a friend who didn’t understand my feelings,” she replied, turned and walked out of the cabin because if she would have stayed for a single second more she would have started crying.

Aurora needed to be strong, she loves her but this was for their own good. She went outside where no one was present and left the sob she was trying to hold. Aurora cried for hurting Susan’s feelings but it was necessary.

Susan couldn’t breathe through her nose. She was in shock and for the first time after her mother’s death, she couldn’t be strong. She fell to her knees, the girl she loved more than a sister broke their friendship. Susan was crushed under the weight of Aurora’s words.

“Susan, are you alright?” Emily asked holding her, she had never seen her strong friend like that. Never!

Emily gave her a glass of water when she kept breathing through her mouth. “Susan calm down, damnit! You are scaring me,” she patted her back to comfort her and forced her to drink water.

Susan closed her eyes and tried to breathe normally after drinking water. Emily was continuously asking her if she was alright. She was not, she saw how Aurora was trying to hold her tears in front of her. Her sister was hurt because of her and that disturbed Susan. She needed to be strong for both of them.

“Susan, I am calling the doctor…”

“No, don’t!” Susan said when she could manage to speak. she grabbed Emily’s hand and managed to get back on her feet with Emily’s help.

“Why did you not tell Aurora that I helped you too, why, Susan?” Emily asked once Susan seems normal to her.

“Because I knew she would do something like this. I have known her whole life, Emily. I know how she reacts to things. She lost me and now she didn’t have anyone else except for you, we both know Aurora, we know how stubborn she is,” she grabbed her hand abruptly, “Emily, please go and be with her. She needs you now that I am not with her. She needed you more than ever. Please hold my Aurora in your arms and comfort her. Please don’t leave her alone!”

Emily was looking at Susan as if she had lost her mind. “What are you, Susan Kelly? She scolded you this badly, broke her friendship with you and you are still worried about her?”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Susan smiled, sadly, “you won’t understand Emily. I don’t have anyone except for Aurora. She is my only family. When mom died, Aunt Savannah took me in, she cared about me just like she did for Aurora. We have been with each other in every thick and thin situation. Do you think she would not be crying right now, no? She would be crying he heart out in some corner, Emily.”

Emily was amazed. “I am sorry for every wrong word I said to you, Susan. I didn’t know the depth of your relationship. Don’t worry I will take care of your Aurora till you come back in her life, I promise,” Emily said, patting her hand. “Aurora is lucky to have you, Susan.”

Susan broke down into tears. The pain of Aurora’s words was too much for her to handle.

“I hope Aurora thinks the same way!”
