WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 1 – 10
ALEXANDER POV
I got to my car and asked the driver to drive off, along the way, I was feeling restless about the conversation I heard from those two men in the bar.
“Why should you care about what is going to happen to her, just focus and forget about her and let her face her problem”. I sighed tiredly and pondered for a while.” Turn the car around, we are heading back to the bar”. I said to my driver.
“Okay, sir” He made a U-turn and we arrived at the bar.
I hesitated for a while before I stepped out of my car and went inside with two of my escorts, the whole place was calm and I saw the barman arranging the place, immediately he caught sight of us, and he rushed towards us.
“Good evening sir, we are close already”. he said politely.
I stare angrily at him and order my men to handle him, I walk away and I can hear the sound of beating and the boy begging for mercy and trying to ask what he has done wrong. I came to the corridor and I saw two guys in black suits guarding a door, my instincts suddenly told me that was the room the girl was in, I walked up to them and knocked them to consciousness before they could retaliate.
I hit the door hard and barged into the room to see the two men half-naked and the lady was still unconscious on the bed with her clothes untouched, I clenched my fist.
” Who are you?” the old man asked curiously and I could sense fear in their faces.
“Alexander!”. I replied and my men came over.” Take these two old fools away and give them the punishment they both deserve”. I ordered and the two old men were dragged away, they begged for forgiveness while my men were dragging them along.
I stare concerned at the young lady on the bed.
“You got lucky today, you owe me for this and you are going to pay me back, I can’t believe your boyfriend tried to sell you out because of money”. I sighed and then covered her with the blanket, I turned off the light, I shut the door behind me, and left, I came to the bar to see the guy beaten to a pulp and on the ground consciously, I stared at him for a while and walk away.

NARRATOR POV
The next morning, a group of people gathered two men tied on a pole with their pants on, and a note tag was pasted on their body saying; “we got punished for trying to abuse a girl”. Everyone was taking photos of them and uploading them on air, soon the media came making a video of them after recognizing who they were, soon, the men regained consciousness and was surprised at where they at, they were trying to cover their face.
Meanwhile, Aurora wakes up and stares around the room strangely.
” Where am I?”.She questioned confusedly and the memory of last night flashed through her head “Oh no, Charles must have left me here”. She rushed out quickly to the bar to see Charles’s lifeless body on the ground.” Charles!”. She screamed and rushed to him trying to wake him up, soon few of the workers came in and they helped her rush Charles to the nearest hospital.

~~HOSPITAL~~
After an hour of commencing treatment on Charles, the doctor told Aurora not to worry about her boyfriend and that he would be fine. She sat next to him on the bed caressing his hand, and then Charles opened his eyes weakly and turned to her smiling.
“Aurora”. He called weakly and Aurora raised her face to him to see him awake.
” Charles”. She called excitedly and hugged him on the bed sobbing.”You are awake, I was scared to death”. She pulled away from him and he caressed her face.
“Am sorry I made you worry”. He said.
” What happened? you attack last night?”.
“Yes, I was about to close up the bar when three men walked in and attacked me unknowingly”.
” What? How could people be so heartless, did they steal anything?”.
“I don’t think so and I hope not”.
” Oh thank heaven you are safe, I don’t know what I would do without you”. She rested her face on his body sobbing.
“Stop crying, nothing happened, but are you okay?”. He asked curiously.
” Yes, I didn’t know I slept off, I could have saved you from those heartless men”. She sniffed and Charles sighed and continued caressing her hair.

AURORA POV
After Charles was discharged from the hospital, I took him home and made sure he was comfortable before I left him with his mother, I was still confused about the whole thing that happened. I got home and saw the sad and worried look on my grandmother’s face.
“Aurora, do you want to kill me before my dying day?”. She asked and I rushed to hug her.
” Grandma, am so sorry, a lot of things happened last night that I could not explain”. I said and pulled away from her and then wiped off her tears with my thumb.
“What happened?”.
” Some men attacked Charles last night, it was this morning I discovered him on the floor that I had to rush him to the hospital”.I explained and I could see the surprised look on her face.
“Is he okay?”.
” Yes, he is fine now”.
“Oh, that is a relief”.
” Have you had anything to eat?”.
“Yes, I made myself some food, yours is in the kitchen”.
” Thank you, Grandma”. I kissed her cheek and turned to leave for the kitchen when my cell phone rang, I stared at the caller ID and noticed it was one of my teammates in the cleaning job.”Hello Jane”. I said as I answered the call and Jane’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Aurora, what happened to your phone? I have been trying to reach you since last night?”.
” Am sorry, something came up, is there a problem?”. I asked.
“Not really, I was calling to inform you that we have a cleaning job to do today, the manager assigned me and some other teams, but I added your name too”.
” Oh really, thank you, where are we going for the cleaning job?”. I asked excitedly.
“Beverly Hills district “.
I gasped for air, Beverly Hills resort is a place for the billionaire.
” Are you kidding me?”.
“Yes, get ready, we will pick you up in five minutes”. She hung up and jumped up in excitement.
” You are going out?”
“Yes grandma, duty called, I have to get ready”.
” What about your food?”.
“That can wait, I knew today was going to be the best day of my life”. I said excitedly and rushed to my room to get dressed.
” At least take a bite”. She cried out.

*********
An hour later, we arrived at the Beverly Hills district, we came across beautiful mansions and I couldn’t help but gasp for air until we arrived at a sophisticated building, the gate was opened with a remote control and we drove inside, we rushed down with our cleaning items and we were taken inside by the security man who shown us around every corner of the house, I couldn’t help but stare amazingly at the magnificent mansion.
To the outside viewer, the mansion would have seemed identical to any other in the prestigious neighborhood. Large curtained windows set in solid concrete walls and burnt red tiles on the roof. Stone statues guarding the entrance, a freshly trimmed lawn, flowering bushes, and sunlight reflecting off the surface of a pool on a typical warm summer day.
A well-kept gravel path led to automatic double doors. Inside, rested proudly several brand-new sumptuous vehicles. A desolate bicycle leaned groaning against the mucky wall. A rusty toolbox screeched bearing the weight of various gardening instruments.
In numerous rooms, was stored dejected non-matching furniture. Cardboard boxes were stacked high against the ceiling and the content of the few that had been unpacked was dispersed throughout the room. The heavy dusty air dimmed the area.
The kitchen was equipped with all sorts of unused cooking utensils and the wooden drawers were filled with all the latest gadgets. In the bathroom, every surface was filled with half-used products ranging from shampoos to creams to toothpaste.
In the master bedroom, the bed was covered in fluffy pillows on top of embroidered covers, doughy blankets, and crumpled bedsheets. A wardrobe overflowing with abandoned clothing stood unhappily in its dark corner. The additional lacerated shoe storage was too small to contain every pair despairingly scattered on the floor.
A colossal couch occupied the living room along with the most recent TV released.
In as much as the building was beautifully decorated with an exclusive interior, but the place was still messy.
“Why is the inside so messy?”. Jane asked.
” I don’t know, that’s why we are here to clean it up”. I said.
“Rich people and their dirty habit”. Another teammate said.
We were shared in different places, I was given the master bedroom to clean up, I can’t lie, the bedroom was wow, cozy. I started by arranging the suit in the wardrobe and then the shoes in the right place.
Some minutes later, I was done arranging the room and it became perfect and I fell in love with it, but something was missing, the clothes and the shoes and even the bathroom were that of a man a things not even a single lady things in there.
” Is this guy a bachelor?”. I questioned confusedly as I continued to stare around the room, suddenly my eyes caught sight of a photo hanging up the wall beside the bed, I walked closer and took a better look at the person on the photo. I froze and gasped in shock to see who it was, my memory flashed back to the night I had an encounter with him, I reeled backward and pumped into something and a vessel fell on the floor and broke into pieces.
Suddenly, someone barged into the room and I came across facing him, I could see the shock in his eyes.
“You!”. He yelled and his voice was like a roaring lion, I froze.
” I-i “.I sputtered, I couldn’t find my words, and I ran out quickly with my cleaning items to meet my teammates in the living room.
” What happened? Did you break anything? Cause we heard noises and the owner of the building happened to arrive at the wrong time?”. Jane asked and I nodded.”Oh no, what do we do?”.
“It was an accident”. I said trying to defend myself.
” What the hell are you still doing in my house? I want all of you out!”. his angry voice interrupted us and we gripped in fear and rushed out quickly.

WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 1 – 10
The next day, I was invited to the cleaning department, and to my greatest surprise I saw the same man in the HR office looking elegant in his suit and his handsomeness was out of the world.
“Is she the one?” The HR asked staring at the man.
I was confused by what was going on and what trouble I am in now, just then the man stood up and walk up to me, smirking at my face, damn!, the closeness was sending me shivering to my whole body and I couldn’t understand it, I pushed back a little avoiding his gaze.
“Yes, she is the one, she broke my expensive vessel”. He said and I looked at him.
” it was an accident, I didn’t mean to pump on it”. I said defending myself.
“Well, thanks to you, it’s broken and you are going to pay for it”. he said and I gasped knowing fully well I couldn’t be able to afford the money to replace the broken vessel.
” Am sorry, I didn’t mean to break it”.
“Is too late for an apology”.
” What do you want me to do?”.I asked already getting pissed up by his attitude. suddenly he grabbed my hand and turned to the HR.
“I will take it from here”. He said and dragged me away.
I struggled hard with him, we came across some of the workers and they stared surprisedly at us, and then he pulled me into his car and asked the driver to zoom off, at that moment I knew this was going to be the beginning of my torture.
