His Purchased Wife

Chapter 80

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."

"What are you talking about? Who people? I don't see anyone who has the right to judge you. It's you

who puts a tag on everything. You are judging yourself on their words. Tell me, did you sleep with that

cockroach because of his money?"

Emily shook his head. "No. I did that because I wanted to prove to him the depth of my love. He was

my first…"

"The problem was not in you, it was him who didn't even know how to give an orgasm to a girl," Susan

added, to make the atmosphere light. Yes, they have different points of view regarding things but she

really cared about Emily.

"See, you never wanted his money, Em. Then how can you get affected by the venom that bitch spat?

Don't do this to yourself," Aurora tried to console her.

Emily nodded. She lost count of how many times she had this conversation with them, still, She

couldn't forget the smile on their mocking faces, their laughter pierced through her ear like a cacophony

voice. "I can't forget that day, I tried many times, Aurora but it still haunted my nights. I took counselling

for it but nothing works…"

Aurora hugged her. "It's okay, Em. You are not alone. We both are with you."

That night Aurora and Susan tried everything to cheer Emily's mood and eventually, she relaxed after

some time.

The next day in the office, Alexandrio couldn't sit straight. His mind was still on Emily, he was eager to

find out why she reacted that way. Asking her was out of the question, she would never tell him

anything, asking that man was out of the question too. Alexandrio was sure he had hurt her in somenovelbin

way. There was only one option left and that was Aurora. She could tell him. He stood up and went to

her office to meet her.

Aurora was working on the new design when she heard a knock on her door. She frowned seeing

Alexandrio there. "My Kyschove?" She whispered standing from her chair.

"May I come in, Miss King?" Alexandrio asked like a gentleman.

"Ya! Sure… I mean please do." She said formally.

Alexandrio entered and closed the door. He turned to Aurora once again, "I hope you don't mind but I

want to discuss some personal issues with you."

He nodded at the chair, gesturing for her to sit. Once seated he asked her the question he was

impatiently waiting to know the answer of.

"Miss King…"

"Aurora, please. No need to be formal."

He sighed, met her gaze and asked. "Tell me what happened to Emily? I know something bad happens

to her, what? You will tell me."
