His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 132

Aurora was sitting in the living room of her home, she had tried calling Gabriel ten times and his number was still switched off.

"Where are you, Gabe?" She mumbled touching her phone to her head. Suddenly, the door opened with a bang and Emily entered. Aurora stood up and ran to her friend seeing her condition. She looked shaken to the core, even her complexion was white.

She had seen her like this only once and that was four years ago when that bastard humiliated her in front of the whole college campus. "Em? Are you fine? What happened to you?" She asked, holding her hand, she looked as if she was about to faint.

"Emily, What happened?" Aurora held her face in her hands. Emily's eyes met Aurora's and she hugged her guarding angel.

She was the only one who came to help her that day and today also she was with her. Emily couldn't hold herself anymore and she left a loud painful screech in Aurora's arms. Aurora hugged her tightly, scared for her friend's wellbeing. "Em?" She rubbed her back to soothe her but nothing was working.

Susan who was working on her laptop ran out when she heard the aloud painful voice of crying. She was stunned seeing Emily crying, hugging Aurora. "What happened?" She asked sprinting towards them in the doorway.

"Bring some water, Susan."

Susan brought the water bottle from the kitchen with lightning speed. "Here," she held Emily's face while Aurora made her drink a little water. They both took her to the living room and made her comfortable on the couch.

After a while when Emily regained her composure she told them what happened at the exhibition. "That arrogant owl and that bitch? It seems they forgot that you are not alone, Aurora King is with you. You just wait, I will kill that cockroach with my sandals."

Susan glanced at Emily who chuckled hearing Aurora's unique way of cursing. "Are you alright, now?" She asked Emily.

"I don't know," she was silent for a moment and with great strength said, "He is engaged with Katelyn and she taunted me in front of Alexandrio," Emily gulped. "She called me a whore who…" once again tears blurred her vision, she choked on her words and couldn't complete the sentence.

Aurora sat down. "F*ck her! You were never a whore, Em, and you never will be," she held her face softly in her hands and made Emily look into her eyes. "You are my friend, I know you better than anyone else, Em. The girl who called you names is a whore herself. You were a virgin when you gave yourself to that cockroach and now even after four years, you have not slept with anyone."

Emily stiffened. "How did you know that?" She asked, stunned. She always pretended to be the woman of the world in front of them but no one knew she never did the deed.

Aurora met Susan's gaze who nodded. "We are not dumb, Em. Do you think we don't know how you tried to make us believe that you don't care about these things anymore? You fool around boys but you still couldn't move on from that incident. In all these years Alexandrio was the only man who made you smile. You behave like a lovesick puppy around him. The day when you saw him you behaved like the old Emily you once were. The girl who used to wear her heart on her sleeve. We know you like him and he likes you too."

Emily looked away, "it's not that simple, you won't understand, Aurora. People will judge me again for taking advantage of him. Once again I will be tagged as nothing but a gold digger who trapped him for his money and position."
