” I just don’t feel affection for her”.He said and Richard laughed. “What’s funny?”.
” You are funny, what did I just hear you say? You and I know you don’t feel affection for any lady you lay with “. he said and stared straight into his eyes.” Or are you trying to take this one seriously?”. he teases and he gets a hard look from Alexander. “Am just saying though” He takes a sip from his drink avoiding his hard gaze.
“You know you are not helping”. he said and then his cell phone rang, he saw the caller ID and sighed tiredly before picking it up.” Hello Mom”. he said and there was a pause.”Am fine”. He said. “What? Why?”.There was a pause.” Mom…” He got interrupted as the call got disconnected. “She hung up!”.

••ALEXANDER MANSION••
Aurora was busy in the kitchen when the doorbell rang, she rushed to open the door and was surprised to see Nora standing in front of the door with her luggage and smiling faintly.
” Hey,”.Aurora said surprisedly. Nora walked in leaving her luggage behind.
“Bring my bag inside “. She ordered and sat down on the couch, Aurora stared at her confusedly. ” Where is Alex’s room?”.
“Upstairs by your right, did he know you were coming?”.
” That’s none of your business, mind your job here, and do bring my bag upstairs “. she stood up and walked away.
” Hope he is aware that she is coming. She wondered and left for the kitchen.
Some minutes later, Nora came out of the room, she wondered why her bag hadn’t been brought to her yet.
“Where is this girl? Maid! Maid!”. She called and left for the kitchen to see Aurora tidy up the kitchen.” Didn’t you hear me calling you?”. She asked rudely and Aurora turned to her.
“Calling? I only heard you calling out a maid, so I thought maybe you brought one in along with you”. Aurora said.
” How dare you! Aren’t you a maid in this house”.
“Point of correction, I am not a maid, I have a name and I would like you to address me by name, Aurora”. She said.
” I will call you whatever name I want, you are just an employee here and you are paid to work”. she sneered.
“Yeah right”.
” Where is the luggage I asked you to bring in for me?”.
“Oh, your luggage? Well, I guess is still standing on the doorstep”. she said.
” What? You left my luggage outside the door!”. She yelled.
“Yeah, is your luggage, the same way you rolled it to the doorstep, you should use that same hand to roll it inside, I am not your slave, I don’t work for you and so, you don’t have the right to order me around”. She said unfriendly and left for her room. Nora stared after her and grunted angrily.
” You will pay for this!”. she left for the doorstep to get her bag and roll it inside.

Later in the evening, Alexander came home and Aurora rushed to welcome him and left for the kitchen to serve his food while Alexander left for his room. he opened the door and was surprised to see Nora laying down on his bed.
“What are you doing?”. He asked surprisedly. Nora turned to him and rushed to hug him.
” You are back”. She said smiling and pulled away from him.”How was work today?”.
“I asked a question, Why are you in my room?”.
” Didn’t your mother inform you that I was coming over to spend some time?”.
“Yes she did, you are not supposed to be in my room, I will inform Aurora to make one of the rooms for you”. he said as he walked to his wardrobe.
” Why can’t I share the same room with you?”.
“You are a guest, this is the first time you are spending some time here, I don’t share my room with anybody”.
” But I am going to be your fiancee soon”.
“But you are not yet! Please respect my privacy “.
” Fine!”. She said frowning and left the room. Alexander stared after her and sighed before he left for the bathroom to freshen up.
Some minutes later, both were seated in the dining while Aurora was serving them their meal, her cell phone kept ringing, and she refused to answer the call because it was from Charles.
“Aren’t you going to answer that?”. he asked.
” No sir, it’s not important”.
“Then turn it off, it causes me a headache”. Nora said rudely.
” I will”. She walked away after serving them and they started eating. Just then they heard a banging at the gate and someone yelling out to Aurora’s name.
“Who is that?”. Nora asked confusedly.
Alexander clenched his fist immediately after he captured the voice, She saw Aurora rushing down the stairs, and he stopped her.
” Where are you going?”. he asked.
“To send him away sir”. she replied.
” You don’t have to, I will do it myself”. He said as he stood up and left to meet Charles at the gate.
“Aurora!”. Charles called.
” What are you doing here?”. he asked angrily.
“I want to see Aurora, please let me in”. he said firmly.
” Really? Why do you want to see her? Do you have any business with her? She is not your fiancee anymore, now leave!”.
“I am going anywhere, I want to see Aurora, please let me see her”.
” leave now before I call the cops on you “.
” Am not leaving. Aurora!”. He yelled and Aurora interrupted him from behind.
“What are you doing here Charles? Don’t you know you are disturbing this neighborhood with your yelling”. She said rudely.
” What are you doing out here? I asked you to let me do it”. Alexander said frowning.
“I know sir, please give me a moment with him, please”. She said. Alexander stares at her for a while and walks away angrily.
“Aurora, please I am sorry”. Charles said.
” Why are you here Charles, you have no business with me, please stay away from me”.
“I can’t, I know I have wronged you, please forgive me, I was stupid, please Aurora, don’t leave me”.
“I shouldn’t leave you! You set me up, you sold me to those old men”. She yelled as tears fell out of her eyes.” You betrayed the love we shared, why did you do that Charles? What did I do to you?”.
“Am sorry Aurora, I regret my actions, I shouldn’t have done that, please forgive me”.
” There is no forgiveness, you and I are over!”.
“Please Aurora, please! I still love you”. he sobs sweating all over.
” Screw you and your stupid love! You should be happy that you are not in jail right now, please don’t ever come here and bother me again, you and I are done!”. She turned to leave.
“Aurora, please!”.
” Go away, Charles”. She walks away ignoring he is calling and pleading. She gets to the doorstep and cleans up her tears with her thumb before she goes inside to see only Nora eating at dinner, she wonders where Alexander went.
“Was that your boyfriend causing a scene at the gate disturbing the whole place?”. Nora said rudely.
Aurora ignored her and climbed upstairs heading to her room, then she came across Alexander coming out of his room looking moody.
” Am sorry sir for the inconvenience, I promise he won’t come here again”.
“Why was he here?”. He asked frowning.
” To apologize for what he did”.
“And what was your response?”.
” Is over between us, once again I am sorry”. She left for her room and Alexander could see how sad she looked, he stood for a while and left for his study room.

The next morning, Nora climbed down the staircase to see Alexander already dressed for work and having his breakfast.
“Good Morning”. She greeted excitedly as she moved to kiss his cheek, but Alexander turned his face away as he stood up quickly to leave.
” Am sorry Nora, I have to go, see you later”. he walks away with his suitcase.
Nora stared after him and sighed.

Late at night, Alexander was still not back from work, Nora was trying to reach him but his cell phone wasn’t connecting.
“Why is he taking so long?”. She panicked.
“I guess he is stuck in traffic”. Aurora replied as she came out from the kitchen with a glass of water.
” At eleven pm!”.
“Yeah, or let’s just say he is out there hanging out with some friends”.
” Yeah right!”. She said and left for her room.
Aurora stared after her and left for her room. An hour later, She came out due to the ringing of the doorbell, she rushed down to open it and was surprised to see Alexander on the door looking tipsy.
“You are back sir”. She sputtered and Alexander nodded smiling.” You look tipsy, I will make you some green tea”. She said and turned to leave, suddenly, Alexander grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms with his arms wrapped around her waist.
Aurora gulped nervously as his eyes were glued on hers, she tried to wiggle out from his arms but it was too tight.
“Sir, what are you doing? Let me go”.
” Let me remain like this for a while”. he said.
Aurora was stunned by his words, both remained in that position for a while until Alexander dozed off on her shoulder, Aurora let out a sigh. Nora caught sight of them and she clenched her fist staring hard at them.
