His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 124

"What? Have you lost your mind!" Emily shouted over the phone at Susan.

"Susan, I told you once and I am telling you again, Aurora won't like it. Mind you, she will never forgive you for what you did. Whether she wants Gabriel in her life or not is her decision. Stop interfering."

Susan rolled her eyes. "Don't preach to me Em and tell me will you help me or not? It's about our Aurora. If you help me she would be able to move forward in her life and accept Liam and let's get real you helped before…"

"Stop it, Susan, yes I helped you but it was important at that time. Aurora needed to focus on the competition. And you need to stop with your white knight syndrome. Aurora is mature enough to make her own decisions. Stop interfering in her life for god sake!" Emily knew Susan had this obsession with mothering Aurora but she didn't understand that Aurora herself didn't like it. She wanted Susan as her best friend, not an overprotective Mama.

"Will you help me or not?"

Emily sighed. "Just this once, and I won't do anything except for involving her in useless chattering. What you do in that period is your headache and for once and all, I am not involved in your plan, Susan. For me, this thing ends here.".

Susan thrust her elbow downward with her hand in a fist. " yes! " she muttered at the success of coaxing Emily to help her get Aurora's phone.

Meanwhile, Alexandrios listened to every word Emily said over the phone. He smirked because right now he knew his tricks were not going to work on the girl he wanted. With no other option left he tried his luck one last time and entered her cabin.

"Miss Emily? Have you finished the reports or not?" Alexandrio asked, putting his one hand in his pants pocket and standing his fingers on the desk.

Slowly and with a frown, Emily stood up. "It will be on your desk Mr Kyschove."

His lips tugged downward as he gave a short nod to her. "No need, I am here in your cabin and you can show me here."

Emily gulped. "Sure."

She searched for the file on her iPad. She was feeling nervous or the right word would be jittery. She just wanted to stay away from him but every time he came on to her with even more determination.

She opened the file and showed him the report but obviously, his mind was not on what she was saying. "Mr Kyschove?"

Alexandrio felt her hand on his elbow. "It's nice…" he scratched his chin with his forefinger and said. "Emily, be ready tonight we are going to dinner."

"Excuse me? I am not going anywhere with you."

Alexandrios smiled. "You are, you see Emily I have enough of this cat and mouse game. Now you have two options, whether you tell me what stopped you from seeing me, give me a good reason or I won't accept you ditching me like a one night stand."

Emily gasped. Suddenly all the memories of the past ran through her vision. The mockery, the pain, the same she felt in front of her class.

"Get lost!" She snapped. Alexandrio leaned a little and glanced into her eyes. "Na! I won't get lost that easily, you played with the wrong guy this time, Emily. You can't just throw me away like a used tissue paper. Now let's get the thing straight, after listening to your conversation I think Aurora should know about your interference in her life."

He smirked. "I want you, Emily and I will have you. No matter the cost."

Emily's eyes widened hearing him. "You…" she stopped and inhaled sharply. "You don't know anything, Alexandrio…"

"Nice, from Mr Kyschove to Alexandrio," He chuckled. "Is it hard to find out? I don't think so, I can always have a long chat with Aurora and figure it out but as far as I heard it has something to do with Gabriel."

"You are blackmailing me to date you?"

"Take it any way you want. Be ready at seven," he said before walking out of her cabin. Emily's legs turned like jelly and she slumped on the chair.

"I can't lose Aurora. She is the closest thing I have to my sister," she kicked the desk hard. "Damnit Susan, damn you and your interference."

She inhaled sharply. "I can't lose her. I can't."

In the evening, Susan was standing silently in the corner while Emily was scolding her. "It's all because of you, you and your overprotectiveness."

"You are being too rude now. If you don't want to help just say so, Em. I mean, you helped me before because it benefited you right, you got what you wanted this contract, this…"

Emily had enough. "Stop right there Susan. You are accusing me of taking advantage of Aurora. How dare you?"

Emily shook her head in disgust. She crossed her hands to her chest and looked inintousan's eyes. "I helped you because I wanted Aurora to achieve her dream and that man was a hindrance in the way. You might be her best friend, her God sister or whatever you call yourself but she is my friend as well and I value her friendship but more that I respect her right to make her own decisions. You are no one to tell him what she should be doing, you are not her mother."

Susan fisted her hands. "Don't cross the line, Emily."

"Oh, now you understand what crossing the line means? What you just said to me a minute ago was not crossing the line. You accuse me of taking advantage of her talent while it was you who betrayed her trust every single time, Susan."

Susan remained mum because she needed her help. "You agreed to help me," she reminded Emily.

"And because of that I am stuck on a date with a man I don't want."

She shook her head, "I am going to meet Kevin so why don't you go and play your part," saying that she went to Kevin Rawls cabin.

Emily didn't feel good doing that but she had no other option left. She knocked on Kevin's door and entered.

"Mr Rawls I have found some issues in your design, Mr Kyshove has stated some concerns regarding the shape of diamonds…"

Emily knew that Kevin didn't like Aurora, since she joined TheBelle, he feared his position as the head designer here is at risk and in Aurora's own words that man wants her to work like a machine. He always tries to find flaws in her designs.
