Euphoria

Chapter 11 - The family support

I sighed as she didn't send me any messages. It had been almost an hour. Why didn't she send me anything? I saw she was online on Whatsapp when I sent her the message.

I grabbed my keys and decided to visit Aurora at the fashion house as well as talk to my mother about Layla's blackmail.

After talking to my mother, I went to see Aurora in her office. I didn't understand what was going on with her. When she saw me in my mother's office, she acted cold towards me, and she did everything not to look at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned as I walked into her office.

"Yes." She replied dryly while writing something on her laptop.

I heaved a loud sign and approached her. "Did I do something bad without knowing?" I asked, puzzled.

"No."  She replied curtly without looking at me.

I gritted my teeth in irritation and closed the lip of her laptop.

"Why the hell did you do it? Are you crazy?" She snapped angrily as she stood up.

Finally, some normal reaction.

"Yes, I am crazy. Didn't you know?" I asked, raising my eyebrow, pretending to be confused.

She rolled her eyes. I chuckled and closed the distance between us.

"Will you tell me why you are angry at me?" I asked, cupping her chin.

"I am not angry at you." Aurora denied dryly and folded her arms over her chest as she pulled her head back.

I sighed. "Are you sure?"

"I am busy, Liam" She mumbled.

"I am not planning to leave before my friend tells me why she is angry at me." I stated, determined and leaned against her desk, folding my arms over my chest.

"Don't you think this friendship game has gone far enough?" She asked, bored.

"It isn't a game." I protested firmly and frowned. "Why do you think it is a game? I want to be a friend with you."

She gave me a mocking smirk. "Why? For getting me in your bed?" She asked bitterly

I gritted my teeth in annoyance and straightened, facing her. "What have gotten into you, Aurora?"

"I know men like you. I know what you want." She stated angrily.

"Do you want to know what I want from you? Fine, I will confess. I like you so much. I want to be friends with you because I want you to know me better and trust me. So you can give me a chance because I can't get you out of my mind." I confessed sincerely and cupped her cheek, leaning my forehead against her forehead. "I really like you, sugar."

She pushed me back and gave me a mocking smirk. "Because of it, did you sleep with the maid in your parents' mansion?!" She asked sarcastically. "And don't deny it. I saw her leaving your room in a nightie and robe in the morning." She blurted out angrily and poked at my chest with her finger. "I would never give a chance to a womanizer as you who have countless affairs with a lot of women."

"You misunderstood everything. That night nothing happened between Layla and me. I was drunk and decided to stay there because it was nearer than my penthouse. And when I woke up the following morning, I saw her lying beside me in my bed. But I swear nothing happened between us. I was sleeping when she came to my room." I pleaded.

"Of course." She gave me a sarcastic smirk.

I heaved a loud sigh, running my hand through my hair. "Please believe me. I never lied to you." I gave her a begging look. "But even if I see some woman, why do you care? We are just friends, aren't we? Are you jealous?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"I... Don't talk nonsense!" She gave me a dirty look and ruffled her hair, averting her gaze.

I grinned, self-satisfied and closed the distance between us. "I don't want anyone else, sugar. Just you. And I swear I won't give up on you. You will be mine, sugar." I confessed honestly, cupping her cheek, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Then I gave her a warm smile and left without letting her say anything.

Aurora's POV

Paris, France

I was looking through the window, enjoying "the City of Love" while ignoring Liam who was staring at me with a strange glint in his eyes.

The private jet landed in Paris about an hour ago. Serena, Liam and I came here for Paris Fashion Week. Serena's older son, Troy was with us as well. He had a meeting here, and he was going to attend the show to support his mother.

Now we were going to our hotel where we were going to stay during Fashion Week. It was one of the best luxurious hotels in France.

As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we got our room key cards. I felt so tired; I looked forward to going my room and having rest.

"Aren't you coming?" Troy asked Liam as he was tapping something on his phone in the lobby without following us.
