WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 11 – 20
AURORA POV
I couldn’t stop thinking about everything that happened a few days ago, I was heartbroken and hated Charles for what he did, all this, while we were together, was nothing to him, he told me he loved me, but that was a lie, I can’t believe he will do a thing like that to betray our love. I am trying to get over it and move on, even if it takes time.
I was busy in the kitchen when I heard a doorbell, I left what I was doing and rushed to open the door, I was amazed to see two gorgeous ladies in front of the door, one was more mature than the other by her left, I guess she is her daughter. The older woman had dark grey hair with bright blue eyes, and her face was round and wrinkled a little, her nose was slightly pointed, and her tiny red lips, I couldn’t help but feel attractive to her, despite her mature body she was still looking attractive and her fragrance fills my nostrils, compared to the other elegant lady beside her. Her eyes are almond-shaped and very dark brown. Her skin is golden-brown with a subtle rosy glow around her cheeks, she is of average height with sexily pink lips, and she wears a sexy short gown exposing her smooth lap and bringing out her curved shape. They stare awkwardly at me.
“Who are you?” The mature lady asked unlikely.
“Um”. I sputtered and I got interrupted.
” Mom?”. Alexander called from the stairs case.
“Oh, is his mom, no wonder she looks classic”. I thought to myself and they went inside.
” Alex my son”. She moved to hug him while the other lady sat down with her legs crossed and she was staring lovingly at my boss.
I wondered why she was looking at him like that, she suddenly noticed my gaze on her and she stared hard at me, I turned my face away.
“Mom, what are you doing here?”.
” Is that how you welcome your mother whom you haven’t seen for months now”. She feigned a frown, her British accent was captivating.
“But I do call, besides am working”. he said.
” But I still miss you, I am surprised you are at home, you didn’t go to work?”. She asked firmly as she sat down same with Alexander.
“Mom is Saturday, I don’t work on Saturday”.
” But you are never at home”.
“I am now, but why are you here?”.
” Aren’t you going to offer us something before asking questions?”.
“Aurora, get them something to drink”. he said.
” Ok, sir”. I said and left for the kitchen, I could still hear their conversation.
“Son, who is she?”.
” She works for me”.
“Oh, I thought as much, I thought she was one of those your mistress”.
” Really, Mom?”.
I came back with their drink and served each one of them and turned to leave, but he called me back.
“Is there anything else you want me to do sir?”.
” Yes, prepare something for us to eat”.
“Right away sir”. I said and left to the kitchen hearing their conversation.
” Are you sure she is only working for you and not warming up your bed as well”.She said and I felt angry.
Why would she think that of me?
“Mom, please”.
“OK, anyway I came here for you to meet someone”. She said and she introduced the young lady she came with as her best friend’s daughter. ” Her name is Nora”.
“Nice meeting you Alexander, have heard so much about you”. Nora said with so much excitement in her voice.
” Nice to meet you too”. he replied.
“Son, let me have a word with you”. She stood up and left with her son.
I was preparing pasta in the kitchen and cutting some pepper when I noticed someone walked in.
” Do you need something?”. I asked seeing the way she was looking at me.
“Not really, am just looking around”. Nora said
“OK, suit yourself”. I said and continued with what I was doing.
” So, tell me” She moved to my side and leaned her back at the cabinet with her arms crossed.”How long have you been working for my man?”. She asked and I was surprised.
“Your man?” I asked trying to be sure of what I heard correctly.
“You heard me the first time”.
” For days now”. I replied.
“Oh, I see, are you just his servant or more of his servant to him”. She said sarcastically.
” What are you driving at? I am only an employee here”. I replied.
“Great, I hope it remains like that”. She gave me a disgusting look and walked away. I stared after her and continued with what I was doing.

ALEXANDER POV
I came to the balcony with my mom, wondering what the private discussion was all about.
” What’s going on Mom?”. I asked.
“What do you think of her?”. she asked smiling and I stared confusedly at her.
” Think of who?”.
“Nora of course”.
” What about her?”.
“Don’t play dumb with me son, you and I know where I am driving at”.
” Seriously, Mom, I don’t know, you are confusing me”.
“I want you to start seeing Nora”. She said and turned to her surprisedly.” She is a good and loving girl, you two will make a great couple”. She said smiling.
“What?”.
” Yes son, I brought her here for you to see her, she is a very beautiful girl and I want you for her”.
“Mom, really?”. I sighed tiredly.
” Come on son, do it for me, just give it a try”.
“Mom, I can’t, I know she is beautiful, but I can’t go out with her, how many times will I tell you I will choose a woman that I want for myself, please Mom understand me”.
” I am tired of understanding you, Son”. She flipped. “I want to see you get married and have children, you know I am not getting any younger”.
I rolled my eyes at her ” Stop all with this your dramatic attitude, Mother! You and I know you are not dying any moment from now, you still have great lives ahead of you”.
“OK fine, but do this for me, is it a bad thing to become a grandmother? You are my only son and I need you to make me happy by settling down”.
” I will Mother, but I haven’t found the right person for that”.
“What about Nora? She is perfect, go out with her”.
” Mom….”
“Please son”. she interrupted me.” You are going to love her, just give it a try”. She said persuading me and I sighed confusedly.
Some minutes later, we were seated at the dinner table eating, I could see the flirtatious moves Nora was giving me and the smile on my mother’s face.
“Hope you are enjoying your food dear?”. She asked talking to Nora who nodded shyly.
” Yes, Mom”. She said.
“You don’t need to be shy, this place is your home now, you can come and visit any time you want”. She said.
I stared surprisedly at my mom and she gave me an innocent look, I could see the excitement in Nora’s eyes, and I sighed tiredly, just then my eyes caught sight of Aurora rushing down the staircase all dressed up to leave.
” Where are you going?”. I asked curiously.
“To my grandmother’s place, I told you before I would be going today”. She said
” Oh, yeah “.
” I will be back before evening”. She bowed and walked away.
“Son, I am curious why she is working with you”.
” Why not mother?”.
“What if she stole your expensive jewelry and money and then ran away”. Nora said and I gave her a hard look, she noticed my gaze and turned to her food quickly.
” She is right son, she is not to be trusted”.
“Mom, let me live with that, I employ her, so whatever damages occur, let me be blamed for it, no one has the right to judge her”. I said unfriendly.
” Come on son, calm down, we were only saying”. She said and I returned to my food.

NARRATOR POV
Aurora and her grandmother were having a chat about what Charles did, she couldn’t help but shed tears while explaining to her grandmother.
“Am sorry dear, but why will he do that to you?”.
” I don’t know Granny, Charles has hurt me so badly and I will never forgive him for that”.
“Is okay dear, don’t cry about it anymore, there is a reason for everything, God has proven to you that he is not the right man for you”.
” And he(God) had to prove it this late? Three years and half Granny, three years of giving my heart to Charles, he is the only man I have ever been with, where do I start from?”. She sobs.
“Anywhere, you can still find love again, there are thousands of men out there waiting for you, you can find one for yourself”.
“I am not going to do that, I will never open my heart to any man again, I will focus on working hard, making a lot of money, and not be dependent on anyone”.
” Don’t say that child, what is money without love, Without a spouse?”.
“I don’t care, Granny, I will live my life the way I want it”. She sniffs.
” I believe there is someone out there who will love and cherish you as you have never imagined”. She said smiling at her.
Late at night, Aurora came home, she was climbing into her room when she got interrupted by Alexander.
“You are home late, I thought you weren’t coming home?”. He said. Aurora was shocked at his voice and she didn’t know he was seated on the couch in the living room because the place was a little dark, she climbed down and moved towards him.
” Um, am sorry sir, I thought if I stayed longer in my grandmother’s place, you would have enough time to entertain your mother and her guest, I didn’t want to inconvenience anybody”. She said.
“Really? Don’t you know is dangerous at night?”.
” yes sir, besides the traffic was a little bit of delay, am sorry”. She apologized and there was silence between them. “have you had dinner? I will make something for you to eat”. she said breaking the silent mood.
” No, am not hungry “. he stood up and walked away.
Aurora stared after him, wondering if he was angry with her.
” I hope he is not angry” she wondered and left for her room.
