NARRATOR POV
Richard came back with the files and saw Aurora still seated by the gate side, he moved to her.
“I found it”. He said smiling and Aurora stood up.
” Ok, sir”.
“but I am curious though, why are you out here in the cold?”
“Nothing”. She said nervously.
” Why do I have this feeling that you are lying to me, tell me why you are out here”. he persuaded and she sighed.
“She orders the security man not to let me in the house”. She said fidgeting with her hands.
” Who?”.
“My boss’s mother”.
” What? Why? Did you do anything to offend her?”.
“No”.
” That’s unfair, leaving you out in the cold, Maybe I should go and ask her why she will do that”. he tries to leave, but Aurora stops him.
“No sir, it’s fine”.
” Really? Or maybe I should call Alex right now and inform him how unfair his mother is treating you”. He frowned.
“No, please, I don’t want any more problems, please don’t tell him”. She said and Richard sighed sadly.
” Ok, come into the car, you can spend a night at my place”. he said.
“Don’t worry sir, I will be fine here”.
” And you expect me to believe that? If you don’t come in right now, I will call Alex right away and tell him everything”. he threatened.
“No, no, you don’t have to, I will go with you”. She rushed to the front seat of the car and sat down, Richard sighed and then entered his car and drove off.

WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 31 – 40
The next morning, Richard was up early and he made breakfast, Aurora came out in one of the rooms and was dressed to leave, she came to the living room and noticed Richard in the kitchen cooking.
” You are awake?”. He said as he came out of the kitchen with a tray of breakfast and served it on the dinner table.
“Yes sir, good morning”.
” Good Morning, hope slept well?”. he asked cheerfully
“Yes I did, and thanks for your help”.
” You are always welcome”.
“Thank you, sir”.
“Please call me Richard, I will prefer that”. he said and Aurora nodded.”Come have your breakfast, I made it for you”.
“Really sir….. I mean Richard, you don’t have to”.
” I have to, you are my guest, and not only that my best friend’s cook, so you need to be entertained”.
“Ok”. she moved to the dinner table and started eating.” Hmm, it tastes nice”.
“Thank you, it’s all yours, let me go in and freshen up, I will be right back”. He left to his room while she continued her breakfast.
Some minutes later, she was seated in the living room after she finished eating her breakfast and she took the plates to the kitchen and washed them before arranging them to their normal place. She kept staring amazingly around the house, it was well-furnished with an exclusive interior design.
“Sorry I kept you waiting”. He interrupted her climbing down the staircase and fixing his suit.
” No problem sir,” she said as she stood up.
“Ok, I will drop you off at the house”.
” No, you don’t have to, I will find my way back home, you have done enough for me already and I so much appreciate that”.
“I know, it still doesn’t matter, I can still drop you off”.
” No, I will be fine, I don’t want you to be late for work, I can find myself home”. she insisted.
“Are you sure?”.
” Yes, I am”.
“Ok,” he deep hand in his suit pocket and brought out some money.”You can use this for your t-fare, please don’t say no”.
“Ok, thank you, sir….sorry, Richard”. She corrected herself as she took the money from him.” Thank you”.
“You are welcome, see you some other time”. He smiles and walks away while Aurora follows him behind.
She watched him enter his car and zoom off and then she came out of the building and walked along the street to the bus stop. An hour later, She arrived at Alexander’s mansion and knocked on the gate, the security man came out and was happy to see her.
👨✈️” Good Morning Ms.Aurora”.
“Good Morning”. She replied.”can I come in now?”.
👨✈️” Sure” ” He opened the gate and she hesitated to go in.
“Are you sure?”.
👨✈️ ” Yes, you don’t have to worry about the boss’s mother, I haven’t seen her this morning I guess she has forgotten, so come on in”.
“Ok”. She said and was about to step in when Mrs. Stella interrupted them from behind and they went stunned.
“And where the hell do you think you are going?”. She asked furiously.
” Good Morning ma”. She greeted politely.
“Save those greetings to yourself, so, this is what you do whenever my son is not around, you go around sleeping in different men’s house and then has the guts to come back to pollute my son’s house”. She said and Aurora was surprised by her statements.
” No, Ma, that’s not true”.
“Will you shut that thing you call a mouth! Listen, you are not stepping your feet in this house until my son comes back from his trip, you this gold digger”. She kissed her teeth and stared hard at the security man” If you let her in, you will kiss your job goodbye, now lock the gate and go back to your room”. She said rudely.
👨✈️”Yes ma”.he locked the gate and rushed inside.
“idiot”. she walks away.
Aurora sighed sadly and rested her body on the gate.

••ALEXANDER’S OFFICE••
After the meeting with his clients, he came back to his office with Richard and they sat down to discuss.
” you think is good to do business with them?”. Alexander asked.
“Yes, they are reliable and trusted”. Richard replied.
” Sure”. They smile.
“Oh, that reminds me, guess what happened in your house yesterday”. he said and Alexander stared confusedly at him.
” What? Is everything okay?”.
“Not all, last night when you called me to get something filed to you when I arrived I was surprised to see your cook outside the gate in the middle of the cold “.
” Aurora? Why?”. He asked curiously.
“Same question I asked her, but she didn’t want to tell me at first, but when I persuaded her, she told your mother to order the security man not to let into the house”. He said.
” What?”.
“Yes, I felt pain why would your mother do such a thing to an innocent girl, she begged me not to let you know about it, so, I had to bring her to my house so that she could spend the night there and this morning she left”.
” What is wrong with my mom? Why is being cruel to her?”. he wondered and picked up his jacket and his phone.
“Where are you going?”.
” Home! To talk some sense into that woman that calls herself my mother”.
“Just talk to her calmly”. Richard said, but Alexander rushed off as he entered his car and asked his driver to take him home.

••ALEXANDER MANSION••
Aurora was still seated outside the gate under the cold, because it was getting to the winter season, then the security man came out with a can of coke and some chips
👨✈️” I brought you some chips”. he gave it to her.
“Thank you, you shouldn’t have”.
👨✈️” Is the little I can do, you have been out here for over two hours now, so, you need to eat something”.
“Thank you, I really appreciate this”.
👨✈️ ” You are welcome”. he smiled and leaned on the gate watching her open the chips.
Suddenly, they got interrupted by a car horn, they turned in the direction to see it was Alexander’s car. Aurora stood up quickly while the security man rushed inside to open the gate. Alexander came down from the car and Aurora rushed to welcome him with a smile.
“Welcome sir”. She greeted cheerfully.
” What are you doing out here Aurora?”. he asked.
“Hmm, nothing sir”. she said nervously. Alexander stared at her for a while and ordered her to get into the car, she rushed in with him and the driver drove inside. They came down and went inside.
” Mother! Mother!”.he yelled calling out to his mother with anger. Mrs. Stella rushed down from her room with Nora beside her, she was happy to see her son back from his trip.
“Son, you are back”. She moved to hug him but he stopped her and they were surprised.” What is the problem, son?”.
“You are my problem mother, what has gotten into you, are you sure you are my mother? or did you get switched with somebody else?”. He asked. Aurora was behind him fidgeting nervously with her hand.
” What is going on son, why are you angry?”.
“I am angry because of your selfish act!”. he sighed and tried to control his anger.” You know what, I have had enough, I think is time to go back home, the doctor said you are fine now and your blood pressure is good now, you have overstayed your welcome enough”.
“Excuse me! Are you asking me out of your house?”.
” Yes Mother, I can’t tolerate your actions toward Aurora anymore, I was only gone for two days and you had the nerve to let her out of the house in the cold, how could you!”. He yelled.
“Alex, are you asking your mother out of your house because of this thing beside you”. Nora said and Alexander stared hard at her.
” Mind your words, Nora, don’t make me lose my wrath on you!”. he warned and turned to his mother.”You don’t have to worry mother, your driver will be here soon, so, I would advise you to get your things ready”.
“You dare chase your mother out of your house because of her?”. She said sadly.
” Yes, I can’t deal with your attitude anymore, I have tolerated you enough, you know what, let me ask you a question, what did she ever do to you that she deserves this treatment from you?”.
“I don’t want her here! She has possessed you, you are not the son I gave birth to”. she sobbed.
” And you are not the woman I called mother! You have changed, you can force me to do what I do”.
“I am your mother! I am doing the best I can for you”.
” No you are not, instead you are hurting me, allow me to control my life, am a grown-up man now”.
“Mom, stop crying, let’s go and get our things”. Nora said.
” Sure, you are quite welcome to leave”. he replied rudely.
