His Purchased Wife

Chapter 39

Aurora POV: -

I bit my lip and glanced at the figure of that arrogant owl. Stupid! Selfish! Idiot!

Arh! I wanted to curse him with every word I was familiar with. I glanced again as he picked another

fish. "I wish you would choke on it."

Then I let out a cry. "I just want to eat something, goddamnit!"

"No, Aurora! Have some pride and look away. You can't let yourself degrade to that level that you go to

him and ask for some fish," I reminded myself and decided to look away but stopped when I saw that

arrogant owl standing up and walking towards me.

He straightened my shoulders and butted my chin out in pride when he stopped near me. "Here, eat it.

I know you are hungry." He extended his hand offering the fish to me.

My mouth watered at the sight of that fish but my pride didn't allow me to accept the fish.

"I don't want it," I told him half-heartedly but my eyes were still fixed on the fish as I gulped.

Goddamnit! Why was it so hard not to snatch the fish out of his hand and…

No, don't even think about eating that fish, Aurora! Don't even think about its soft juicy flesh.

Arh! I screamed in my mind. "Look, I know you are hungry so no need to show false bravado and pride,

just eat it."

My mouth hangs open. This arrogant bully! How dare he insult me again. Instead of apologising to me

for how he treated me, he was insulting me and my pride.

That's it! I stood up and placed a hand on my waist. "Who are you to tell me what I should be doing and

what not! A messiah! Some demigod? What ha! Let me tell you one thing, you bull. I would rather eat

this sand than anything which touched your hand!" I snapper kicking the sand on the ground with my

feet.

He gave me a brief and unimpressive look. "I am offering this for the last time, Wifey!"

I flashed him a smile. "It seems you are hard of hearing. So let me help you using other methods and

you certainly don't understand the verbal mode of communication." I snatched the fish from his hand

and threw it in the ocean with a crying heart.

"Here goes your fish and now you can take your arrogant ass away from here too."

His eyes flashed in anger. He gripped my elbow in a bruising grip. I gasped in pain. A sudden fear

erupted in my heart as the images of him spanking me flashed in my memory.

"Stop being a brat! Did you know how hard it was for me to catch that fish in that Ice cold water with my

bare hands?"

"I don't care about your health or anything related to you. You can die in that freezing water for all I

care!"

His eyes turned dark. "It seems to me that the earlier punishment was not sufficient for you. You need

another lesson to get rid of your bitchiness," And the dark voice made my throat turn dry.

Oh, God! What was he going to do now? He took a step forward, there was no distance left between us

now. His warm breath fanned my face and the look in his dark eyes made my back straightened and

shiver at the same time.

"You have to show respect to me, wife! Insolence is not something I tolerate!" He muttered and then his

lips were on mine.

I tried to push him away from me, "No…" but he ate my words and bit my lips making me grip his arm

painfully.

I punched his hand trying to shove him away from me but to no avail. Tears of humiliation pooled in my

eyes as I sobbed.

He didn't react in any other way except he moved to my neck now. I took in a sharp and much needed

breath.

I flinched in pain. "You are hurting me again!" I said in a broken whisper.I felt him stiffened, he left my

neck and gazed at me. Something shifted in his eyes and he left my hand with a jerk.

"Eat the sand you wanted to eat or starve here for all I care." Saying that he whirled around and walked

away from me.

I sniffed as tears pooled in my eyes over his rude behaviour but more importantly because I was

hungry.

I had no on here, no one who would talk to me. I didn't like the quiet around me. I hate being alone, I

want to talk to someone and I was sitting on this island alone. With a brute of a man with barbarical

manners! I gulped and closed my eyes in pain, I could do anything else except for talking to myself and

imagining that I was not stuck in this hell. I imagined that I was sitting in my favourite restaurant with my

friends and eating my favourite Pasta and the tears were unstoppable now.

I recalled how my dad used to hear my non-stop chattering even when he was busy. I sniffed and kept

myself busy thinking and imagining but didn't know till when I could manage that. I was losing my sanity

with every passing second. The evening turned into night, the sky was clear and I could see the stars

clearly and not only in the sky. There were stars in front of my eyes too. I turned my head and glanced

at that owl. He was lying on his shirt using it as a mattress and only wearing Sandow.

I hissed as another wave of chilled air arose, the goosebumps on my skin and not to mention the pain

in my ass which doubled in this chilly weather.

I greedily stared at the little bonfire near him. Heartless man!

I didn't know how much time passed but looking at the darkness around me I could say it was close to

midnight. The only source of light around me was the moon and the bonfire.

I tried hard, very very hard to resist the chilled air but couldn't. Not anymore. I needed to go near

something warm and this short red frock was next to no use as I could feel the chill in my bones.

"You won't go, Aurora. It's about your self-respect!" I reminded myself but then a voice inside me

snapped at me.

"To hell with your self-respect. What will you do with it after your death? Just stop this melodrama and

go near that bonfire, Right now, Aurora kings!"

Still, I tried to resist but then another breeze of air hit my skin. I stood up and walked near that bonfire.

And the relaxation I felt, I couldn't decipher it into words. I took as much heat as I could. My body

welcomed the heat with open arms as the goosebumps settled down on my body. Now the only

problem left was my growling stomach.

"The fish was in my hand, I could have eaten it but no, instead of eating that I threw it in the ocean!

Utter fool I am!"

I blinked rapidly as tears rolled down my eyes, wiping them with the back of my hand I sniffed. "Now,

die of hunger," I muttered silently.

Oh, God! I couldn't believe that I, Aurora Kings, daughter of billionaire Ethan kings. The big foodie, the

fashion sensation! Wes going to die out of hunger because I was stuck on this stupid island.

Poor me!

I shook my head to distract my mind from the growling voice from my tummy but then, out of a sudden

my eyes went to a big leaf and my eyes widened in happiness, shock and excitement.

There were three fish on the leaf which were covered with another big leaf.

"OMG!" I wanted to scream in joy but no, I couldn't allow myself to do that because the monster

sleeping could wake up.

I fisted my hands and looked at the sky, "thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much…" I

thanked the third power in the sky and gulped the drool as my mouth watered at the sight of those fish.

Slowly, very slowly I moved to the fish and picked it up silently. Removing the leaf covering I savoured

the sight of those fish.

I grabbed one with shaking hands and took a bite of It. Initially, I wanted to puke at the taste of it

because there was no salt or anything else on it but when the juicy meat touched my tongue I moaned!

I had eaten in the world's most expensive restaurant. But today this gave me happiness as if I was

eating something made in heaven.

I picked another one and sated my hunger completely. I glanced at the third fish with greedy eyes.

"Should I Eat it?"

"Yes!" The greedy side ordered me.

"No, Aurora, what If he got angry! Leave it for him." My inner voice said and I decided to leave the fish

for him. So I covered it again with the same leaf and put it beside him.

I burped and straightened my legs on the sand. A small smile came to my face as my stomach stopped

growling and the fire was giving me enough heat to resist the chilly air.

And I didn't know when but my eyes started to feel drowsy as sleep engulfed me in its arms and I

closed my eyes and landed in the dreamland…Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
