WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 121 – 130
After dinner, everyone was seated in the living chilling with a glass of orange juice.
“Um, Nina dear, can I have a word with you outside?”. Mrs. Judith asked and Nina’s heart flinched. She stood up and Nina followed her behind.” How much do you want to leave my son alone?”. She asked rudely immediately they stepped outside the veranda.
“Huh?”.
” Don’t play dumb with me!”. She yelled staring hard at her.”Didn’t I warn you to stay away from my son”.
“Nothing is going on between your son and me, you got it all wrong”. She sputtered scarcely.
” Oh really, you expect me to believe that? He invited you over to the family dinner and you expect me to believe nothing is going on?”.
“Am sorry ma, I didn’t mean trouble, Richard and I are not in any serious relationship, we are just friends”.
” Will you shut that thing you called a mouth, do you really think I will allow my son to have anything with a cheap whore like you. You are not fit here, I can never allow my son to stoop so low to someone like you, I know why you are all over my son, is because of his money and I know how you bed men for their money”. She said harshly and Nina was in shock.”I won’t allow you to do that to my son, you are not his type and we will never welcome you to this family, So if you know what is good for you, you will stay far away from us or else” ” she smirks.” I will make sure I hunt you down and pour acid on this face of yours”. She threatened.
“Am sorry ma, I promise not to go near your son again”. She said frightened.
” Good, you don’t know what I am capable of, I will ruin your life, but in case you don’t know, I have someone else for my son, a woman with great valve and self-esteem, on like you”. She said and Nina tried controlling her tears.”You will go in there, take your bag, and come up with an excuse to leave my house”.
“I will ma”. She clears up her tears.
” I have eyes on you”. She said and walked away.
“Where is Nina’s mom?”. Juliana asked.
” She is on the phone with someone”. She replied smiling.
Just then, Nina walked in smiling forcedly.
“Are you okay child?”. Mr. Wilson asked.
” Yes sir”.She picked up her handbag.”I have to leave now”.
“Why? Is something wrong?”. Richard asked.
” Um, not, I just got over the phone with my mom, she is back in town and I need to go pick her up”.She lied.
“Okay then, I will come with you”. Richard said standing up, but Nina stopped him.
” No, you don’t have to, I already called a cab, he is outside waiting for me”.
“Ok, if you say so, we hope to see you again”. Ella said.
” It was nice to have you here”.Angel said.
“Thank you all, it was an honor too, I will take my leave now”. She smiled and walked away.
” She is such a lovely girl”.Mr. Wilson said and Mrs. Judith scoffed.
“Don’t be too sure about that, she might be innocent and dangerous at the same time”. She said.
” Why will you say that?”. Richard question.
“Nothing, am just saying though”.
” It doesn’t matter, Nina doesn’t look like a bad person, she seems nice and I like her already”.Juliana said.
“Me too”. Angel said.
” So, big brother, what is taking you so long to court her?”.Ella asked.
“Why will he court her, have you girls forgotten there is someone else he likes”. Mrs. Judith said and they turned to her confusedly.
” Someone I like? Who mother?”.Richard asked confusedly.
“Am talking about Elizabeth, your childhood friend”. She said smiling.
” Seriously, Mom, you and I know Elizabeth travel with her parents since she was a child”. Juliana said.
“Yes I know, but the good news is that she will be coming to town with her parents next month”.
” And you assume that I liked her? Elizabeth and I are just childhood friends, just like Alex and I, so, there is no string attached to it”. Richard said.
“Yes, and I am sure by now, she must have gotten herself a boyfriend”. Ella said.
” I don’t think so, her mother didn’t tell me that”.
“You communicate with her mother?”. Mr. Wilson asked.
” Yes, almost every day”. She said and everyone sighed.
Meanwhile, Nina was in the backseat of the taxi lost in deep thought and there was heavy traffic on the road, and then the thunderclap.
“I will get down from here”. She said to the driver and came down walking along the subway. Just then the rain started dropping.
Everyone was running in different directions to hide from the rain including Nina, who found a fuel station and ran to hide with the others.

Alex on the other hand was having dinner with Nora’s parents.
” Hope you are enjoying your food dear?”.Nora’s mother asked, and Alex nodded.
“We are so happy you honor our invitation”. Nora’s father said.
” Sure”. he replied.
They went mute for a while and then Nora’s mother broke the silent mood.
“Before I forget, Alex, Nora”. She called and they raised their faces to her.” We have concluded that you two will get married immediately after the masquerade party”. She announced excitedly. Alex was surprised.
“Really, mother?” Nora asked excitedly.
“Yes dear”. Her father replied.
” Did my mother say that?”.Alex asked.
“No, we all came to the conclusion together”. She said.
” Without letting me know about it, first?”. He said unhappily and stood up to leave.”Excuse me, I will take my leave now”. He walked away ignoring their calling.
“Why is he like that?”. He asked.
” Don’t worry about it, he will be fine, he is just shocked about the news”.Nora said.
“I hope he reconsiders”. She said and they continued eating.
Alex was driving under the rain looking furious, he dialed his mother’s cell phone, and it rang for a while before it was picked up.
📞” Hello Son”. She said on the other end of the phone.
📞”Mom, why are you on the peck of ruining my happiness”. He said unlikely.
📞”How do you mean son?” she asked confusedly.
📞”Don’t play dumb with me, why did you set up a marriage date for me without my consent?”.
📞”Son, calm down”.
📞”Don’t tell me to calm down, you know what, I have had enough, am a kid to toy with”. He hung up angrily
He increased the speed of his car, and then his cell phone started vibrating, he saw the caller ID and ignored it, Suddenly, a car light flashed in his eyes, and he lost control of his brake and ran into a Pole causing him to lose consciousness.
Meanwhile, Aurora came out to get water from the refrigerator, she filled the glass cup and it slipped off her hand.
“Aurora”. Her granny called as she rushed down from the room because of the noise.” What happened? Are you okay?”. She asked curiously. Aurora went still as her heart started pounding fast. “Child?”. She moved to her and helped her sit on the chair.” What’s wrong?”.
“Granny, my heart is troubled, it seems something is wrong”. She panicked.
” How do you mean?”.
“I don’t know, maybe I should call Nina”. She dialed Nina’s number, and it rang for a while before it was picked up.
📞 ” Hey Aurora”.Nina said.
📞”Nina, are you ok? Are you home?”.She asked curiously.
📞”Yes, I just got home”.
📞”Ok”.She said with a sigh of relief.
📞”What’s wrong Aurora, your voice sound troubled”.
📞”I don’t know Nina, I just suddenly felt something isn’t right and my heart is beating fast”.
📞”Just calm down, maybe you are overthinking, have you called Alex, to check if he is fine”.
📞”I will do just that now”. She hung up and dialed Alex’s number.
“Just be calm”. She said.
The phone rang, but no one was picking up, she dialed it again, and the same thing happened.
” He is not answering his phone”. She panicked.
“Who?”.
” Alex!” she said quickly as she continued to dial his number.”Granny, am worried”.
“Maybe he is not with his phone”.
” No granny, Alex is always with his phone and he never allows his phone to ring twice without picking it up”. She said and her grandmother tried to calm her down. Then, the phone rang and she picked it up quickly. 📞”Hello, Alex, are you ok?”.
📞”Um, this is not Alex, the owner of this phone got involved in an accident and was rushed to the hospital”. The unknown guy said and Aurora’s heart flinched.
📞”What?”She panicked as she stood up with tears in her eyes. “Please tell me he is fine, please”. She sobs and then hangs up after the man tells her the hospital Alex was rushed to.
“What happened?”.
” Alex was involved in an accident, I need to go right now”. She rushed quickly before her grandmother could say anything.

••Nina’s family home••
“He is not answering his phone”. Nina said as she tried to connect with Alex’s phone.
” Maybe he wants to be alone”.Her mother said.
“Fine”.She sighed.” Is not as if he will pick up my call anyway”. She sat down nonchalantly.
“Does he ignore you like this even at home?”. His father asked.
” Am used to it, Dad”. She said as she picked up her bag to leave.”I will take my leave now”.
“Why? Is still rainy”. She said.
” I know Mom, a cab is waiting for me outside”. She said and walked away. She came out of the house and rushed inside the car that was waiting for her”Did I keep you waiting?”. She asked smiling at Charles.
“Not really, I missed you” ” He smiled and pulled her to sit on his lap as he ordered the cab man to drive.
“You naughty being”. She said and they started kissing.
