Chapter 24.


    Aurora flickered her eyes to clear her vision. There was a haziness in her mind. Her head was aching,


    which usually did after she got drunk. Aurora couldn''t understand why she was feeling like this when


    she had not touched any alcohol let alone drink it.


    Her eyes widened in horror when the memory of someone sping her mouth in the washroom hit her.


    She recalled how she fell into a pool of darkness.


    Her heart rate increased, horrified, she looked around and found herself in an abandoned ce. Her


    hands were tied, she was seated on a chair and her legs were tied too. Aurora screamed tears pooling


    in her eyes. "Is someone here?"


    Her anxiety increased when she didn''t get any answer. Aurora was shaking in fear. "Someone help me,


    please," she begged and tried to untie the rope she was tied with. Her hands started aching as the


    struggle wore her out. "Help! Help!"


    She was crying while begging for help, suddenly, a hard p struck her face. Aurora''s cheek burned


    with the effect of the p. "Stop screaming whore!"


    Tears fell from her eyes, they strolled to her cheek. Her mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood.


    Aurora raised her head and settled her gaze on the man standing before her. He was a middle-aged


    man, his face seemed familiar to her. She had seen him before, where she couldn''t recall.


    "Please leave me, why are you…" he didn''t let her finish the sentence and pped her once again,


    harder than before. Aurora''s vision blurred with the tears, she sobbed hard. "Please don''t hurt me.


    Please…" she cried. She had done nothing wrong to anyone in her life to suffer this humiliation and


    pain.


    Juan fisted her hair painfully and raised her face. Her cheek started swelling. Her jaw ached badly, she


    was sobbing and even the slightest movement hurt her.


    "Now I understand why your father protected you all these years. You are beautiful Aurora King, or I


    say, Knight," heughed cunningly. "Even with a father like Ethan but you got your beauty from your


    mother. That whore was beautiful too, just like you. I couldn''t have her but I can have you…"


    Aurora''s eyes widened in horror. "Don''t you dare touch me! You don''t know who I am? My husband will


    not leave you alive. You don''t know him…"


    At that, the manughed and went to her face. Aurora tried to back her head away but he gripped her


    neck from behind to keep it in ce. He sniffed her neck, "I know your husband well. He can''t do


    anything to me, whore and just to ease your mind. Neither your husband nor your father can catch me.


    Because I sent your father into aa and now I am going to send you into heaven before sending


    you to hell. I wanted to kill Ethan but it''s good he didn''t die. He should remain alive and suffer the pain I


    have been suffering for fourteen years after your father burned my brother and my son alive."


    "You are lying, my dad, can never do such a thing. You must be mistaken…"


    She received another p to her face. "I want to fuck your mouth raw and film it to send it to your father


    once he wakes up. Too bad he could not see it live."


    It became hard for her to breathe. The words he was speaking filled her with unthinkable horrors.


    "Noo!" She cried. Her heart was beating so fast that she feared it could jump out of her chest.


    Juan touched her bosom greedily. Aurora shook her head and tried to free herself. "Please don''t touch


    me. Please don''t…". She cried but he didn''t listen and squeezed it in his hand roughly.


    "No! Someone help me! Please save me!" She screamed trying to wiggle out of the chair but couldn''t.


    "Stop screaming, whore or I will gag you."


    Aurora went hysterical hearing him. She would rather die than let him touch her. Aurora squeezed her


    eyes tightly to avoid looking at him. Her cries grew wilder. "Please don''t…" she kept begging. Aurora


    prayer to God to save her and as if God had answered he prayer, someone asked him to stop.


    "Leave her uncle, our beauty queen is scared."


    Juan grinned and stood up. "The bitch taste as sweet as a candy."


    Auroea felt nauseous hearing him. She wanted to throw up in disgust. "Leave me please. If you want


    money…"


    "Shut your mouth you bitch!" The other man said sharply. Aurora tried to see the face of the man but


    couldn''t. He was standing in sheer darkness.


    She swallowed her saliva to ease her aching dry throat and even the slightest movement spiked pain


    through her nerves. "Do you want to go first or should I continue to explore her?"


    She stiffened and once again a loud sob left her throat. "Someone save me, please." She whispered


    while crying.


    The other man moved a little and the light fell on his face and Aurora received the shock of his life.


    The person standing in front of her was none other than, Gaberial James. The same man she thought


    she loved.


    He had a mask on half of his face bit the other half was same as she remembered.


    "Gabe?" She whispered, shocked to hear her voice. She was under utter shock. He walked further, a


    mocking smile ying on his face. "Aurora King. Daughter of Ethan King is begging in front of an


    Alberto. How does it sound uncle?"


    Justughed patting his nephews shoulder. "It sound sweet and satisfactory, son. I wish that son If that


    bastard had been here to watch his daughter like this. But the bastard is ina!" He spitted on the


    ground.


    "Why are you doing this Gabe? What have I done to you?" She asked, tears rolling down her cheek?


    He fisted her hair painfully making her scream in pain. "I am so sorry to hurt you, Aurora. Trust me I


    wanted to do worse than this, the moment I saw you, I wanted nothing else than to hurt you in the worst


    way possible but then my uncle came with this great n of hurting your father through you. Everything


    was going good until your friends and Liam Knight entered the picture. But now, none of them is here to


    spoil my ns anymore."


    Aurora tried to free herself. "Leave me Gabe. You were not like this, you are not a person like this…."


    He nodded with a chuckle. "You are right, Aurora. I am not like Gabriel. He was weak but I am not. This


    is Mafia world and in this world there is no ce for a weak link like Gaberial James. We have not met


    before right, let me introduce myself to you. I am Gavin Alberto, your husband know me as masked


    man and Gaberial Is my twin."


    Aurora was once again stunned. She didn''t know what to think anymore. Was everything a n? What


    had her life be? She had be a pawn for everyone.


    Liam used her for her to gain her father''s business and Gaberial used her for some revenge!


    "Why are you doing all this? What do you want?" She asked but this time she was not crying? Aurora


    had cried enough in front of them. They didn''t deserve her tears. She was Ethan Kings daughter and


    just like her father she wouldn''t let any one walk over herself. Even if she had to die today. She would


    do it with her chin high in the air.


    Gavin moved to her face. " Nothing, I wanted to make Ethan cry bloody tears. The same tears I cried


    when he killed my father. The same tears my brother cried when our father was burned alive. My uncle


    lost his ten year old son because of your father. They all were burned alive. I am still wearing the scars


    of that day on my face with this mask. My face burned that day. The only survivor of your father''s


    wrath."


    "I don''t believe you. My father is an honest man. He do charity every year. He is a phnthropist who


    saved lives of thousands of people in Africa and Asia. You are lying!"

    Gavinughed at that. "Phnthropist!" He muttered shaking his head. "I never believed that Ethan''s


    daughter can be such a fool uncle. But Gabriel was right she is a fool! Look at her, she didn''t even


    know the reality of her father."


    Juan joined theughter and Gavin pped Aurora with a hash truth. The truth of Ethan King, the truth


    Ethan, Thomas and even Liam tried to hide from her. "Your father Aurora is the Don of Churchill mafia."


    She went numb, her mind went nk. This is not truth. Dad is not what he is saying. He couldn''t be.


    "And not only him, your husband is the Don of Vancouver crime family. A mafia man. They both are the


    equal shareholders in crime world. Aurora King or I say Knight!"


    She didn''t have the energy to hear all this. She didn''t want to. "You want to know the list of business


    your father an husband run: Drugs, Illegal weapons. Illegal Gambling. Assassinations and Prostitutions.


    Your husband single handedly runs eighty percent brothels in Vancouver."


    "No! stop it, stop it….you are lying. They are businessmen. They do legal business."


    He chuckled. "I would love to show you proof but I don''t have time. So you see we are going to use you


    and then sell you to one of the brothels somewhere in the world."


    Aurora wanted to weep but she swallowed the fear. "Don''t you dare put your hands on me. If my father


    and husband is as dangerous as you say then beware because they won''t leave you alive. Any of you!


    They will hunt you till the very end you this earth and finish you in the worst way possible."


    "The cat got her tongue back, Nephew. What should we do about it?"


    "I am warning you, don''t touch me. Liam will not leave you…"


    "I would love to see what he would do. Let''s make a deal I will send the video of us to your husband


    after I sell you. Alright?"


    Please Liam,e and save me. I will die if they ruin me.


    Gavin took a step further but his cell phone rang. He checked the Caller ID and frowned seeing


    Dmitry''s number on his phone.


    He epted the call. Dmitry Kyschove was not a man to be ignored. "Dmitry."


    "Gavin. You will suffer the consequences of being smart with me. You dared to attack my brother! If you


    don''t want me to finish you, stop your men right now!"


    Gavin''s eyes widened. He nced at his uncle who had a frown on his face." I didn''t attack your


    brother. What are you talking about? Why would I do it?"


    Juan''s eyes widened in horror. He knew how vicious Dmitry was. A sudden fear erupted in his heart.


    He gestured Gavin to ask more about what happened. "Are you saying you didn''t attack my brother?"


    "Yes I didn''t! We had an alliance. Dmitry, why would I do that?"


    He waited for Dmitry''s answer but he was silent for a second and the. He heard a loud hiss! "It could be


    a trap, Liam could have done it, Dmitry."


    "Hello…Hello…" he said into the phone but the line went dead.


    Gavin kicked the ground hard in anger. "What happened? What was he saying?"


    "Liam is trying to break our alliance."


    Juan shook his head. "We can''t afford Dmitry against us. Gavin. The Italians are with us but they are


    not enough in a war against Vancouver and Churchill both. We are able to reach this far because of


    this cooperation from both Italians and Russians. If we lose support from either of them our empire will


    copse."


    Gavin''s eyes went to Aurora who was trying to understand their talks. But couldn''t understand what


    their we''re talking about. What Italians and what Russians?


    "This bitch is responsible for everything." He was about to struck her again, Aurora gasped in fear,


    closing her eyes she waited for the pain but it didn''t beme. Instead she heard the ringing of the phone


    followed by a loud curse.


    "Dmitry."


    Gavin heard him chuckle. "Gavin you have ten minutes to run away from there because Liam Knight is


    Dmitry was a chameleon who changed colors seeing his benefits. Liam tried to trap him by showing


    that it was Gavin who attacked Alexandrio so Dmitry just returned the favor. He informed Gavin about


    Liam''sing for him. So if he kills Aurora, Liam gets defeated. If he would be able to save her, she


    would suffer the same pain Emily and Alexandrio suffered.


    On both ends Liam was going to be punished. But personally he wanted Aurora to die. He wanted to


    see Liam suffering his whole life.


    Gavin aimed the gun at Aurora whose eyes widened and he pulled the trigger. A loud scream left


    Aurora''s mouth when she heard loud gunshots.
