Love Wins Over Lust

Chapter 29.

"I don't want to see that hypocrite with you anymore. I am sure he is still acting with you!"

Aurora closed her eyes. She understands that Susan was worried about her and had a right to do so

considering her history with Liam. "Susie, my sweet sissy, I know you think that he is still acting and all

but he is not, he loves me, Susan. He really does and most importantly, I am happy with him."

Susan gritted her jaw, crossed her hands against her chest and looked away. "Yes, your love, I know

what love does to people. It makes them do stupid things, broke their self-esteem and make them

weak!" She snapped then turned her head back to Aurora. "My mom suffered a lot because of this so-

called love, and now you are going on the same path!"

"It's nothing like Susan, Liam is nothing like your bastard father. He never use me for sex and he would

never look in the direction of another woman. He is mad for me. He has changed a lot for me, in these

two months…"

"What? He became your prince charming! But let me tell you one thing, it's all temporary, once your

body swells with a child he will not look at you the same way like he does now and once this child

comes he is going to hate it too. He will find another woman…"

"Enough, Susan!" She snapped. "I told you, Liam is not like your father, he loves me like the way I am

today and when my body will swell with my baby he will love me then too, he will love me if I lost my

beauty, because he had seen me at my worst. I was bruised and swollen in the face, he kissed me and

told me I am always beautiful in his eyes. I am not saying that he became an ideal man but you are

right, he turned into my prince charming and you need to look beyond what your father did with your

mom Susie…"

Susan closed her eyes as the painful memories of her childhood flashed in her memory. "Don't go

there…"

"I am not going there, Susan. It's you who is still stuck there. I know your pain, I know it because I

suffered the same pain of losing my mother. We grew up together, I know you don't say it and pretend

that your father holds no importance in your life but deep inside it hurts you seeing him with a new

woman. I know you…"

"It didn't matter to me, he is no one, Aurora. No one. I hate him and that's it!" She said in a shaky voice

which sounded weak to her own ears.

Aurora swallowed the dryness in her throat and touched Susan's hand. "Susan, please stop judging

everyone on the same scale. Your father is a bastard but Liam is not, he loves me and I have accepted

him as my husband," then she glanced into her eyes and said what she wanted to say for a long time,

since she came to know about her and Ralph.

"I think you should try to give another chance to Ralph as well, Susan."

Susan stiffened, her face turned pale at the mention of Ralph. "What chance? Who is Ralph? I am

sorry but I am not a saint-like you, Aurora. I can't forgive a man who abused me, I have seen my

mother suffering in this kind of relationship for years and now you are walking on the same path…"

"I told you Liam is not like that, stop comparing him with your dad!" Aurora snarled.

"Alright, I won't say anything about your husband but then you have no right to tell me what to do and

what not to do. I made a mistake thinking that this live thing could be real but I saw the reality soon and

luckily I didn't let this stupidity rule over me," she said and then took a deep breath to calm herself.

"I only want to see you happy and if this jerk gives you happiness, then live with him but I won't let him

hurt you, not again…" before she could say anything else her eyes went to Liam who was walking

towards them with a stoic expression on his face but when his eyes went to Susan his expression

changed into something dark.

"Your prince charming is here."

Aurora turned her head and saw Liam. God give me the patience to handle these two jerks!

"Shall we leave for home, I don't want to be here for a single second anymore."

Aurora smiled. "Yes but can we take Susan with us, she…"

"No!" Liam answered before she could even finish the sentence and that bruised Susan's ego.

"Why? Are you scared that I will kill you on the way?" She taunted him.

Here goes my evening. I don't even miss Emily anymore. Liam and Susan gave me the same

headache with their fights.

Liam gritted his jaw and took a step forward. "I am controlling myself from snapping your head into two,

Miss kelly. So please, let me fulfil the promise I made to my wife and don't provoke me to kill you."

Aurora gasped. " You are awful, Liam. You can't speak to her like this!" She turned to Susan who was

glaring at him with anger-filled eyes. "He won't do that Susie, he is just angry."

"I am serious!" He snapped at them both and clutched his wife's hand and walked out of the house to

go to their home leaving an angry Susan behind.

Aurora snatched her hand away from Liam once they reached their home. "You can't talk to her like this

every time, Liam. She is my soul sister."

Liam gritted his jaw. His head was bursting in anger. It seemed that everyone was trying his patience

nowadays. He needed to control his anger but at this moment it was almost impossible for him to do it

so he went into his room to get away from Aurora. He needed a little space to calm himself but Aurora

didn't give him any space and followed him in the room.

"Liam, I want to talk to you."

Liam turned around, not able to control himself anymore he snapped at her in a voice which made her

stiffen for a long minute. " I don't want to talk, don't you understand it. I am tired of people asking me

questions. I am tired of being lied to and getting questioned every second. Do you think it's easy for me

to change myself into something I am not! It's not, it's not easy to control my anger when all I want to

do is kill the person who dared to question me."

Liam closed his eyes when he noticed the expression on her face. "Damnit!" He cursed himself and

went to her.

"Aurora…" he whispered and touched her face softly. Aurora gulped down the fearful lump and tried to

step back from him but he didn't allow it. "No!"

She stopped. "Look at me, Little one," he said, raising her chin so that she could look into his eyes. He

wanted to punch himself when he saw the tears in her eyes. "I am sorry, Little one. I was angry and

couldn't…" he stopped and pulled her into his arms. "I love you Aurora. I love you more than anything

in this world and when your friend continuously questions my love for you it makes me mad, I know I

behaved like a jerk, no I am a jerk…"

At that she couldn't control herself and burst into laughter. "That's what I called you today."

Liam relaxed when he heard the teasing in her voice.``what? A jerk."

"Yes. You and Susan both."

"Aagin, Susan. Can't we talk without her being in it? It feels as if she lives in this house." He complains.

"That's because she does," then in a completely serious tone, she said, " Liam, Susan is worried about

me. She gave a promise to my dying mother that she will always protect me from everything and she

did that always. Even after what I did to her, she still cares about me. My dad is still in Comma and I

only have a few people in my life. I don't want to lose any of you."

He looked away because whatever he was going to say, Aurora wouldn't like it and he didn't want to

hurt her.

Aurora understood it too but she didn't allow him to take the situation lightly. "Susan is like this because

she has a past, Liam. Unlike me, her childhood was full of traumas. She tried to be strong but she is

not, I know it. I feel it every time we spend time together. Do you think it's easy for her to stay this close

to Ralph? I was stunned and happy at the same time when you told me about their relationship

because Susan never does that. She had her fun and then walked out, but she was in a relationship

with Ralph. For me, it was the eighth wonder of the world. I hope she gives Ralph another …"

Liam jerked his head to Aurora. "Don't hope for anything like this. My brother is happy without that girl.

She is a nuisance now, I don't want her to get anywhere near my brother. I need his head in the right

place, especially when he takes over as the head of another city."

Aurora sharpened her gaze. "Are you saying that Susan's presence is not healthy for your brother's

brain?"

"Her presence is unhealthy for everyone, but yes that's exactly what I am saying."

She raised her brows. Her lips pinched in a thin line not liking his words. But she knew that they could Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

talk about it all night and the result would still be nothing. Because Susan and Ralph were

unpredictable.

Aurora had something else on her mind which was taking a troll over her mind. She loved her parents

and Penny's tear-filled eyes were making her sad too. She wanted Liam to treat her respectfully if not

with love. That's the least he could do for his mother.

"Liam, I want you to talk to your mother about your childhood in a civilised manner…"

"Aurora, I told you not to interfere in this matter."

She shook her head. "I did that but today after seeing the tears in her eyes I can't," she looked into his

eyes.

"If you love me, then you will do it for me…" saying that she walked into the closet leaving him alone

once again daring him to prove his love for her.
