Chapter 13.
Aurora POV:-
"Good evening, Mrs Dolan!" I greeted, kissing her soft cheek. She was baking pumpkin pies. Sniffing
the aroma I was lost. "Hmm! They smell so good Mrs Dolan." I tried to steal a piece but she slapped my
hand.
"Ow!" I rubbed where she hit me.
"For the guest, go and change. You have to be present at the dinner table.
I frowned. " wait! Who is coming for dinner? I have invited a guest myself, Mrs Dolan…" I asked her.
"Then Cancel it Aurora, your dada's guest has already arrived and he is an important person. Ethan
won't like it if you invite one of your friends for dinner tonight!"
"I didn't invite a friend but someone special, Mrs Dolan and who is this guest for whom you want me to
cancel my invitation?" I asked her.
She didn't speak for a while and left a deep breath she was holding. "Liam Knight is here to meet your This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
dad. He is with your dad right now in his office and your dad asked me to inform you about the dinner
tonight…"
And I didn't need to listen anymore. I was dumbstruck! "I flat out said no to meet that man, Mrs Dolan!
How could dad invite him here?" I almost shouted?
Mrs Dolan glared at me. "Down your tone young lady! And for your information, Ethan didn't invite him,
he came to meet your dad himself. So stop this brattish behaviour and change into a nice dress to host
the dinner table." She ordered me by crossing her hands to her chest.
I gritted my teeth. "I won't!" I told her thumping a foot on the floor. "And as far as Liam or whatever his
name is concerned I will finish the topic with him itself. He needs to learn that we don't live in a
Machiavellian era anymore, but in a modern world and here arranged marriages cease to exist."
I turned on my heel and sprinted towards dad's office. Not bothering with a knock I opened the door
with a loud thud. Two pairs of eyes turned towards the source of the noise.
Dad looked confused but the man sitting across from him looked angry. His eyes were hard and his
posture stiff. "Dad, I need to talk with you."
I said not even glancing at that barbarian. "Aurora, I am busy right now darling!"
I crossed my hands to my chest. "Now, dad! I want to talk to you right now." I demanded and Dad
sighed but before dad could speak that monster spoke up.
"We are in between some important talk…"
And I was in a rage. Who the hell does he think he is? Here I was talking to my dad, who was he to
interrupt us?
"Excuse me! But I am talking to my dad, not you, so if you don't mind, shut up and let my dad talk!" I
snapped at him, crossing my hands to my chest.
His brows pulled together. He gazed in dad's direction. "Mr Kings, kindly tell your daughter to leave
from here."
Guts of this man!! I walked inside and stood in front of him. "Look mr, I don't know who you think you
are but you have no right to come to my house, sit in my dad's office and order him to do something.
You have to understand that you are not some kind of King…"
He stood up abruptly, making me gasp in surprise. He was around six feet two inches while I was just
5'6 and barely came to his chest. He was intimidating but I knew he couldn't do anything to me. I was
Aurora Kings, Ethan King's daughter and no one can harm a single hair of my head in front of my dad.
"And you need to learn some basic manners!"
I scoffed. "Manners! You need to learn them much more than me. Bloody hypocrite! What do you think
of yourself ha! Send your dad with an arranged marriage proposal as if you are some kind of demi-God
with whom I was dying to get married. News Flash! Mr this Is modern times not ancient where you can
marry a girl without her permission. And if you come here to woo me then news flash again…" I said,
gesturing my hands in the air to underline the words.
"I don't like you and I would never marry you even if you were the last man alive on this planet earth," I
told him in a single breath.
He turned to my dad who sighed, shrugging his shoulders. "Yes, he is on my side, so take your
uninvited ass out of my home right now!"
"Aurora! ``Dad scolded me lightly but I didn't care. "No dad, Tell him to leave right now!"
Before he could even speak he took a step in my direction and instinctively I backed a step, our eyes
locked with each other and I would be damned if I blink before him even if my eyes turned dry.
Okay! I couldn't control it anymore and blink twice. "I would love to teach you some manners, Mrs
Aurora Liam Knight," Saying that he nodded at dad gesturing a salute with his two fingers and walked
out of the office while I was staring at his back and then stiffened when I got what he just called me.
Mrs Aurora Liam Knight! That arrogant egoistic bastard!
"Did you hear what he called me dad, I will not leave that Machiavellian man now you just wait…" I was
about to run behind him when Dad snapped at me.
"Stop right there, Aurora!"
I halted in my steps. He walked up to me." you will not do something like this again, do you understand
me?" He asked sharply. I was stunned hearing him, my dad never in his life talked to me like this and
today he was scolding me for that arrogant man.
"Dad…" I whispered, hurt hearing his scolding tone.
"Do you understand me or not, Aurora kings?" He yelled this time and I stiffened. Tears gathered in my
eyes and I gulped the heaviness in my throat.
He was staring into my eyes, waiting for me to speak. "Yes, dad."
Dad nodded. "Now go and change, till I call and apologize for the mess you created. Go now."
I fisted my hands tightly. "Before I go, I need to tell you something," I said with a heavy throat. Even my
voice came out in a sob, a few tears rolled out my cheek.
