Chapter 4

• Only if words could define her but that would be an insult to her beauty. She was perfect. Her shining blonde hair, blue eyes, sharp chin and that small nose made her look like the angel from the heavens. Oh, No. Liam Knight didn't believe in Angels, heaven or hell.
• But seeing her, he could turn into a believer. The girl had everything Liam liked, curves, beautiful curves in all the right places. His hands twitched to touch that soft glossy skin.
• His throat swelled in need. It's not like he had not seen a beautiful woman, he had but on her, Liam felt a claim. His claim.
• Maybe marriage will not be a bad option. Maybe, maybe not...
• Liam tilted his head, his current mistress was clinging to his hand. He went closer to her ear and whispered: "you see that girl, Grace?"
• Grace followed Liam's gaze and nodded. "Yes, sir."
• "Good, her name is Aurora, go and start a conversation with her, respectfully. Compliment her about her beauty or whatever you girls do and then call me to join you. Understood?" He asked.
• Grace nodded. "Yes sir."
• Liam liked her till now, Grace was the kind of woman Liam liked. She did what she was asked to do. No questions asked. He hoped that his seductress would be like her.
• Who likes to use fewer words. Unnecessary chattering was not something Liam tolerates. He took a sip of his champagne and watched his mistress starting the conversation with the woman who made him desperate for her body.
• "You look beautiful, Aurora, just like a princess. The dress suits you…"
• The woman who, Aurora, didn't even know complimented her. Aurora raised her perfectly shaped eyebrow and gazed at the woman who was standing in front of her with a sparkling champagne glass in her hand.
• One of those. Everyone wanted to be in the picture with me. These social climbers!
• Aurora nodded at her. "Thank you, Miss…" she asked her name and the woman smiled. "Grace Brown."
• Aurora smiled politely at the woman when she saw an old woman passing by her. She nodded at her, once the woman walked away to wherever she was going and then paid her full attention to the woman standing in front of her.
• "I don't have to look like a princess, Miss Brown because I am a princess and I suggest you try some other way to gain the attention of the celebrities here…" she pointed out and the girl's face flushed in embarrassment.
• "Excuse me," she whispered and took her to leave from there.
• Aurora turned back to her friends who were both giggling, Champagne glasses shaking in their hands.
• "That was so bitchy of you, Aurora," Emily let out, trying to control herself from laughing out loud. Aurora rolled her eyes.
• "These social climbers are everywhere, I mean go get a life girl," Aurora mumbled, taking a sip of her non-alcoholic champagne while eyeing her friend's alcoholic drink enviously.
• "Okay now girls, straightened up. Kevin is about to come and you my dear Aurora, need to talk to him, we need him for our brand," Susan interrupted their revelry.
• Only then did Aurora remember the purpose of her visit to the jewelry exhibition.
• Opening a Jewelry business was the dream of Aurora and her friends. All of them were trying hard to achieve that goal. It was not difficult for Aurora to open a brand with her father's money and power; she could have done that easily. But it was not only her in the team; Emily might be Aurora's friend, and she would have done anything to help her, but Emily was prideful.
• She joined their team on the condition that they would not take any help from Aurora or Susan's father. Susan agreed immediately because she would rather eat poison than take help from her father. They are not on good terms due to some reasons. And Emily, unlike Aurora and Susan, didn't come from a rich background. Her parents owned a little farm in a village and they loved their farm life. Emily on the other hand had big dreams so she came to the big city of Churchill.
• Aurora cleared her throat, put on a polite smile once again and waited for THE BELLE'S head designer to take the grand entry.
• People clapped, Aurora and her friends being one of them, everyone congratulated him for yet another success as he received the designer of the month award.
• Susan pushed Aurora slightly, taking the hint she moved further in the designer's direction and introduced herself.
• He smiled at her, "Ah! Ms Kings, hope you liked the designs." Kevin asked, a smile not leaving his face.
• Aurora nodded. "They are amazing, Mr Rawls but have you decided anything about the offer I made to you?"
• Kevin sighed. "I have already told you about my offer, Miss Kings. I won't join you."
• Aurora didn't like the way he replied but she kept quiet. "You are Ethan King's daughter, the world is under your feet. You don't need anyone if you want to open your brand but my suggestion would still be the same. You need to study jewellery designing first. Rest is up to you, best of luck for your future," saying that he took his leave.
• Aurora kept staring at him. Her pride was hurt, how could he deny her like that.
• "What did he say?" Susan asked, coming near to her. "That he won't join our brand. He advised me to study jewellery designing first. Can you imagine that?" She snapped, snatching the glass of hard liquor from Susan and gulping it in one go.
• "Aurora, you can't handle hard liquor."
• Aurora was not listening, "you just see, he had to see my designs, I am sure he would accept my offer after it."
• Susan shook her head. "He declined twice, Aurora."
• Emily joined them both. "Oh no! Don't tell me he declined."
• Aurora's enthusiasm for the jewelry exhibition vanished in an instant. Ignoring her friends, she turned and left.
• Behind the gallery, there was a small garden. Aurora kept her eyes fixed on the liquid in her crystal glass.
• She wanted to call her dad and ask him to make Kevin accept her offer but no, she would not do it but she would call him and ask him to arrange for a meeting with Kevin. "Arrogant owl!" She sniffed.
• "Bad day?" A deep, magnetic voice sounded in Aurora's ear.
