AURORA POV
I was cleaning the house when the security man came to me to inform me of someone wanting to see me, I wondered who it was, I left my cleaning and followed the security man, I was shocked to see Charles at the gate looking moody.
“Charles”. I called surprisedly and rushed to hug him tight, but he didn’t hold back, so I pulled away from him.” What happened to you? Where have you been?”.
“Why are you here Aurora? Is it true of what I am hearing?”. He asked.
” What do you mean?”. I asked confusedly.
“You know exactly what I meant, what are you doing here? Is this the job your grandmother said you got?”.
” Is a long story, but I can explain”.
“Explain what! You actually slept with an unknown man because of money “.
” What? How can you say such a thing?”. I asked surprised at his words.
“Exactly what you heard, Did you sleep with him in other to pay your grandmother’s bills and your debt?”.
” Stop saying that Charles, you know me too well and you know I can never do such a thing”.
“Really? So, why then does this unknown rich guy from nowhere have to clear your debt without asking for anything”.
” That’s why I am working here in his house”.
“Are you crazy! You are a beautiful and naive woman, what if he forces himself on you, listen, you have to leave this job and come with me “.
” No, I can’t go with you, I work here now”. I declined and I could see his anger mixed with a surprised look on me.
“Are you kidding me right now? Aurora I am your boyfriend and I demand you come with me, we will plan to give him back the money you owe him”.
” Am sorry Charles, I can’t go with you, my mind is made up”.
“Aurora”. He called calmly and closed the gap between us staring into my eyes.” do you love me?”.
“Yes, I do, with my whole heart”. I replied smiling.
” Then come home with me and we will pay him back the money”. He said sincerely.
I sighed and I pushed away from him.
“Am sorry Charles, I can’t, I am here now”.
He breathes in and out trying to control his anger.
” You know what, you got to choose between me and this job”. He said furiously and I stared surprisedly at him.
“What?”.
” Yes Aurora, is either you choose between me and this job and we call this relationship a quit”.
“You can’t be serious Charles”.
” I am damn serious! You got thirty seconds to decide now”.
“But Charles”. I became speechless and confused.
He was counting and I don’t know what to do, I know we can’t afford to pay him back the money, so why is he making me do this? I don’t want to end my relationship with him, he is the only one that I ever loved.
” And done!”. He said ending the count. “I can’t believe you chose a main job over me “. he said angrily and walked away I tried calling him back but he refused to turn back.
” Charles, please listen to me! Please!”. I stare after him as I begin to sob.” Charles!”.

ALEXANDER POV
my driver drove into the compound, it was a busy day at the office, and all I needed this moment was a cool bath and a long sleep. I entered the living room and noticed everywhere was quiet, I couldn’t see her presence around, she usually rushed out of her room when she heard the sound of my car, I wondered where she could be. Suddenly, I heard a sound from the kitchen, I walked in the direction and I was surprised to see her on the kitchen floor drinking herself to death with tears flowing down her eyes. I felt a hit on my chest as I wondered what happened to her.
“What are you doing? Why are you like this?”. I asked and she turned her face in my direction and let out a drunken smile.
” Oh, is Mr. Crazy”. She said and I rolled my eyes at her.
“What happened to you?”.
” You happened to me”. She said as she managed to stand up and staggered on her feet, swaying a little.
“How do you mean?”. I asked confusedly and she laughed.
” You ruined my life! You are the cause of my problem, it was because of you I had to lose everything”. She smirks and takes another sip from the drink she was holding.
“You are wasted, give me that drink”. I tried to take the bottle from her but she refused.
” Don’t! You ruined my life! Because of you, I lost my relationship of four years”. she whined and I scoffed.
“So, your boyfriend broke up with you and you are like this?”.
” Yes, and it’s all your fault, we were very close, close like this”. she said demonstrating with her fingers.”Very close to taking our relationship to the next level, but you came and ruined it all, you crazy weirdo!”.
I rolled my eyes at her.”You should be happy you two broke up, he is not the right man for you”.
“Easy for you to say, Charles is a good and lovable guy that any woman will wish to have, and I love him so much, but you came and ruined it all”. She said and stared hard at me.” You will pay for this Mr. Crazy, you don’t know anything about love that is why you ruined mine, I hate you, I hate you so much”. She yelled as she rushed to me hitting me on my chest.”I hate you! I hate you!”.
I sighed tiredly at her as she continued to hit me, just then she collapsed and I was quick enough to get hold of her before she fell to the ground.
“You are really wasted”. I sighed as I took the bottle from her and carried her in a bridal style heading to her room.
I got to her room and lay her gently on the bed and covered her with the blanket as I sat beside creasing her face while staring at her.
” I hate you Mr. crazy”. She murmured in her sleep.
I signed. “I hope one day you see the real critter in the man you think you so much love”. I stood up and left for my room.

The next morning, I was seated on the couch in her room sipping from my morning coffee while waiting for her to wake up. Suddenly, I heard her groan as she sat upright on the bed touching her forehead.
” Gosh! My headache “. She groans in pain.
I interrupted her.” You are awake”.
She gasped in shock immediately after she heard my voice.
“F*ck! What are you doing in my room?”. she asked surprisedly.
” Don’t forget this is my house and I can stay wherever I choose to stay”.
“Well is my room now and I demands some privacy”. She frowned and I scoffed.
” I don’t care, you got twenty minutes to get your a*s off that bed and fix me something to eat”. I said as I stood up to leave.” And one more thing, you look terrible when you are drunk, and remember I won’t conduct such stupid behavior next time “. I warned and left.

NARRATOR POV
Some hours later, Charles was busy at the bar and at the same time thinking about Aurora, he was feeling guilty about what he said to her.
“Am sorry Aurora, I didn’t mean for all this”. He sighed sadly and his cell phone rang, he saw the caller ID and picked it up.” Hello Mom”. He said and he was shocked to hear the voice coming from the other side of the phone.
🧔”You are playing with me”.
“Oh sh*t! Please don’t harm my mother”. he pleads.
🧔” Get me the girl, or you will never see your mother again”.
“Plea…” The phone beeps which means he hung up.”Oh no”.
Charles became devastated as he rushed out of the bar, he boarded a cab and it drove him home, he rushed into his apartment and was surprised to see his mother seated on the sofa watching TV.
“Charles?”. She called surprisedly and Charles rushed to hug her on the chair.” Are you okay?”. She wonders and he pulls away from her caressing her face.
“Mom, are you okay? Are you hurt?”. He asked curiously and his mother stared confusedly at him.
“Yes, am fine, why are you like this?”.
” Was anyone here in the house?”.
“Yes, two men came looking for you, I told them you are at work, and they said they were just passing by and they decided to say hello to you since they are your customers in your place of work”.
” Really?”.
“Yes, but why will they be looking for you? They look rich and famous, and you don’t belong to their status”.
” Yes Mom, am not their friend, they always come to the bar to drink that’s how I know them, but whenever they come by, don’t let them into the house”.
“Okay, if you say so”.
“I will rush back to work now”.
” Okay, be careful”.
“I will Mom”. he kissed her cheek and left the apartment.
he was standing outside the apartment when a message came through his phone.
Message: your mom got lucky this time, but the next visit won’t be favorable, get the girl in the next three hours, and the address will be sent to you.
he sighed tiredly and then a van drove in front of him, two guys came out dragged him into the van, and drove off.

” Charles?”. She said surprisedly and picked up.”Hello Charles”. she said and Charles’s voice came weakly from the other side of the phone.
“Aurora, help”. He said weakly.
” Where are you? What happened to you?”.
“Please help me, am at the park”. he said.
“OK, hang on, I will be right there”. She hung up quickly and rushed out of the house.
The security man saw her running to the gate.
👨✈️” Are you going out ma?”.
“Yes, please open the gate”.
👨✈️” But ma is getting late and I don’t think Mr.Alexander will be happy if he doesn’t see you at home”.
“I know, I won’t take long”.
👨✈️ “OK, be careful ”
he opened the gate for her and she rushed out. Aurora came to the junction, stopped a cab, and told the driver the direction she was going. Not too long after, she arrived at the park, she searched around for Charles calling his number, and then she caught sight of him seated on a wooden chair looking weak with bruises all over his body.
“Charles!”. She rushed to him.” What happened to you?”.
“Aurora”. he called weakly.
” Hold on, let me take you to the hospital”. She helps him up supporting him on her shoulder.”You can do it”.
