Aurora's POV

"We have to be careful. The journalists are everywhere." I replied nervously.

"Yes." He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Thank you for today. If you didn't convince me to show my art, I wouldn't be here this evening and receive a lot of praises about my paintings. Most probably, I was still keeping them away from the other people, excluding my family and close friends." He gave me a grateful look.

"You are so talented, Liam. People should have seen these beautiful canvases." I commented proudly.

He gave me a charming smile, full of love and tenderness in his eyes. "If we were alone, I would kiss you till both of us became breathless, but..." He sighed, pointing to the people.

"Hmm... Maybe I can arrange something for tonight. So we will be able to celebrate your success." I commented seductively.

His eyes sparkled instantly. "Are you going to stay with me tonight?" He asked, excited.

"Yes." I winked at him.

"Great!" He exclaimed happily. I smiled at his enthusiasm.

"Wow! What a celebration!" Liam exclaimed as he walked into the living room and saw me only in his shirt.

"Better than my canvases. A real art of beauty!" He added huskily and bit his lower lip seductively, approaching me, his gaze dark with desire. I gave him a shy smile, blushing.

"I want to show you something." He informed me and held my hand. I gave him a questioning look. "Come with me." He suggested and led us towards the studio.

I gasped in surprise, covering my mouth with my hand as I saw myself in his new painting which he told me that he would draw to hang in his bedroom.

"You are so beautiful." He whispered in my ear huskily as he wrapped his arms around me from behind and placed a soft kiss on my neck.

"Thank you. I don't know what to say. You are so talented, Liam." I commented honestly as I turned around and wrapped my arm around his neck, placing a chaste kiss on his lips.

"Let's hang it in my bedroom together. I want to see you every morning even when I wake up without you in my arms."

I gave him a bright smile while my heart filled with happiness. I love this man so much!

I was resting my head on his chest while Liam was caressing my hair gently.

"Do your tattoos have special meanings, or did you get it because you just like them?" I asked curiously, moving my fingertip on his naked chest in a circular motion.

"They have." Liam replied and started telling me about them. Some of them were dedicated to his family; a few of his tattoos were dedicated to the special moments in his career. Two of them were about spirituality.

"And your 'bewitched' tattoo?" I asked curiously as he didn't mention about it.

He bit his lower lip uneasily. "I will tell you if you promise me that you won't get angry."

I raised my eyebrow and leaned on my elbow. "Is it dedicated to your ex-girlfriend?" I asked curiously.

"No... it is dedicated to a cute witch who saved me from a bad witch." He replied warmly.

"The girl from the canvases?" I asked, surprised.

"You saw them?!" He asked, puzzled, raising his eyebrow.

I bit my lower lip, embarrassed. "I looked at them when you were sleeping. Actually, I was going to make breakfast when I noticed them. I couldn't help myself. I didn't snoop around your house. I was just curious. When we went to eat dinner, you couldn't show me the other canvases. I am sorry."

"It is fine." He sighed and placed a soft kiss on my forehead as he pulled me into his chest. "Yes, it is her."

"Umm... where is she now?" I asked uneasily. It seemed that that girl was special to him. I didn't know how I would feel if he told me they were still meeting up.

He heaved a loud sigh, running his hand through his hair. "I don't know. We didn't even date, but... I don't know how to describe it. I felt an instant connection with her, but it didn't last long." He confessed honestly.

"Did you love her?" I asked uncomfortable without lifting my head up and looking him in the eyes while there was a tight knot in my throat. I didn't know why I was jealous; he didn't even know where she was.

He cupped my chin and lifted my head up. "I love you." He stated firmly, emphasizing each work and brushed his lips against mine.

"Are you free this morning?" Liam asked while we were having breakfast.

"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?" I asked curiously.

"I want you to come with me to somewhere special." He replied, excited.

"Where?" I raised my eyebrow, giving him a questioning look.

"Surprise." He winked at me playfully.

After finishing having breakfast, we left his penthouse together. On the way, I asked him to give me the hints about where we were going, but he didn't tell me anything.

Liam parked his car in front of the white building surrounded with high gates. He got out of the car and rushed to my side. After opening the door, he extended his hand towards me, giving me a charming smile. I grabbed his hand and got out of the car.

"Eos." I read the name on the building as we stood in front of it and gave Liam a questioning look.

"I decided to register the foundation 'Eos' to provide the children access to the arts. They can partake in arts, dance, singing and etc. without paying any money for the classes." Liam informed me.

"Liam..." I mumbled, astonished, squeezing his hand as I turned towards him. "You are incredible." I commented while I fell in love with this man who had a golden heart again.

"I want the children, whose families can't afford them to take such classes, doesn't give up on their dreams." He said honestly.

I gave him a tender look and hugged him tightly as my eyes welled up. "I love you, Liam Anderson."

"I love you too, sugar." He hugged me back and placed a soft kiss on my neck. "And... Do you know why I chose the name- 'Eos'?" He asked softly as he pulled back slightly. I shook my head, giving him an intrigued look. "She is the goddess of dawn in Greek mythology like her Roman counterpart, Aurora." He informed me, caressing my cheek affectionately.

I looked at him with wide eyes in surprise. "You named your foundation after me?!" I mumbled, amazed.

He nodded, giving me a boyish smile. "You became my muse and encouraged me to exhibit my arts. And I donated the money I earned from selling my paintings to my foundation. So now you will keep helping the others with making their dream come true."

"Liam..." I mumbled emotionally as a drop of tear ran down my cheek. "I don't know what to say, Liam. I am speechless. Thank you so much." I kissed him deeply, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I am proud of you. You have a golden heart." I confessed sincerely, leaning my forehead against his forehead while he wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me against his body firmly. He gave me a shy smile and kissed my lips.

"Let me show you the inside of the building." Liam suggested, excited as he pulled back and grabbed my hand. I nodded and let him lead me inside.

As soon as we walked into one of the rooms, the children rushed towards Liam cheerfully and greeted him. I smiled at them warmly while Liam was chatting with them one by one. Then the children dragged him to draw with them.

I leaned against the wall, smiling while watching Liam with the children. They looked adorable together. I felt so lucky to be this caring man's girlfriend. He wasn't an incorrigible playboy like the paparazzi talked about him, but a kind, thoughtful, lovely man with a golden heart. And I was truly, madly, deeply in love with this incredible man.

Liam gave me a mesmerizing smile as our eyes met. I smiled at him back, feeling blessed.

Liam's POV

After the meeting with my mother and her team about their next campaign had ended, I went to visit Aurora in her office.

When I walked into her office after knocking on the door, there was my mother's secretary with her. The secretary looked nervous, her face pale.

"Mr. Anderson... Good afternoon." Aurora greeted me politely as she closed her drawer quickly after putting something into it.
