His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 137

It was about time he reached Dallas. When he landed his phone beeped, he checked it. There was a message from bjs brother which read: "John started his job in disguise. Focus on the work."

He put his phone back and went to meet Alessio. He had no hope of this meeting being successful yet he came for this for only one reason to assess the influence of his enemy.

"Let's see the depth of your impact, motherfucker!" He muttered and settled in the Limousine opening the button of his coat.

On the other hand, Emily smiled when she saw a basket that had a puppy in it. A male dog, guessing from the blue blanket in the basket. She picked him in her arms. "Hey, where did you come from? Aww!" She tickled him affectionately.

She was playing with him when her eyes went to a basket. "Hope you like him. From: Alexanderio."

She thinned her lips and put the more back in the basket. She sat on her chair with the puppy in her hand. "Why is he doing this to me? Why can't he just leave me alone?" She asked the puppy, caressing him.

"Because I want a chance to make you happy, Emily."

She gasped and raised her eyes and looked at Alexandrio who was standing in the doorway of her cabin. "What are you doing here?"

"I hope you like him, I could not think of a better gift than this." He said entering further into the cabin.

She stood up, putting the puppy back in the basket and raised her eyes to meet his gaze.

"I don't want it…" she started but Alexandrio put his finger to her lips, stopping her from speaking further. "Let's stop this charade now Emily, I know you like me and why you are not allowing us to be together…."

Emily brows jerked together, she pushed him a little. "What do you mean you know? What are you talking about?" She asked him?

Alexandrio chuckled. "You will know when the time will come but for now the only thing you want to know is, they will pay the price for your tears, darling. And they will pay it dearly."

Emily's heart stopped. His eyes were intensely dark today, for a moment she got scared by the look in them. She knew then, she knew that someone told him about her past. She was ashamed of her dirty secret.

"Who told you that?" She demanded.

She got anxious thinking about it. How could he be so calm? Wasn't he a

Disgusted with her?

A fear erupted in her mind, "I am not a gold digger. I didn't sleep with him for his money…" she whispered a lone tear rolled down her cheek.

Alexandrio pulled her into his arms, "Sh! Don't hurt yourself anymore. Please allow me to wipe all your nightmares and pain, Emily. Allow me to show you what falling in love feels like."

Emily sobbed in his arms, she clutched his hand tightly. "I am not a whore…"

Alexandrio kissed her hair, "I know. I know and I will make them pay."

He kept consoling her with the beauty of his words. Emily shook her head. "No, I don't want to see them again, Alexandrio. I don't want to…"

He held her face between his hands. "I believe in keeping records clear, Emily," he whispered, hugging her even more tightly and he could dance in happiness when she reciprocated the intimacy.

From outside the door, Aurora watched her best friend find love again. She smiled, touching her necklace, "You were right mom, love finds its way to one's heart," she mumbled and prayed that Emily would remain happy and protected all the time.

Emily's eyes went to Aurora standing outside. Now, she understood who told Alexandrio about her past. She gulped the heaviness that formed in her throat and broke their hug. "Aurora? Please come inside."
