CHAPTER 21 & 22
AURORA POV
I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened last night, was he really drunk, or did he think I was Nora?
“Come on Nora, snap out of it”. I said while fixing breakfast and I got interrupted from behind
” What were you doing with my man last night?”. Nora asked and I turned to her to see the dangerous look on her face.
“What do you mean?”.
” Don’t play pretense with me, I saw you flirting with him last night “.
” That’s not true, He was drunk and…”
“And you had the nerve to flirt with him”. She interrupted me.”Now listen to me, let this be the first and last time you go close to him, do you hear me?”. she retorted and gave me a dark stare before she walked away
Some minutes later, both were having their breakfast. I was tidying up the kitchen and at the same time stealing gazes at him to know if he remembered what happened last night, but unfortunately, he was calm and had no expression on his face. I sighed and continued what I was doing.

••ALEXANDER OFFICE ••
ALEXANDER POV.
I thought what happened last night was a dream, I could see the look she was giving but I had to pretend like I didn’t remember anything in other not to create suspicious. At that moment of pulling her into my arms, I felt safe and secure, and I never wanted to let go.
“Come on Alex, just focus on your work and stop thinking about her”. I said to myself.
” What’s up bro!”. Richard said as he entered my office.
“Hey”. I replied and we shook hands before he sat down.
” Why do you look like that? Is your new soon-to-be fiancee giving you a hard time?”. He asked and he was just trying to annoy me.
“Seriously!”.
” I was just saying though” ” He cleared his throat.”Seriously, what’s up with you? You don’t look good today, did something happen?”.
“No, nothing I am just stressed out a little”. I replied.
” Really? “.
” Yeah”.
“OK, if you say so, but anyway, I was mainly to ask you, what was that you did at the club last night?”.
” What?”.
“You turn all the girls that were making moves at you down, why? The Alexander that I know will never take any chance with something like that”
“Well, I wasn’t in the mood”.
” liar, you will never be in the mood before taking them to your bed, something is different with you, and you were even eager to go home like someone special was waiting for you at home”. he said. “who is she?”.
” Huh?”.
“Yeah, who is she, who is this woman that is changing the most womanizer in the history of Los Angeles city”. he teased and I threw my pen at him, and he laughed.
” I told you I wasn’t in the mood, beside I was getting tipsy”.
“Yeah, right “. he laughed again and the door went open revealing Nora, she was holding a lunch box.
” Hello”. she said smiling, I was surprised to see her.
“Nora?”.
” Hey bae” She moved to me and tried to kiss my cheek but I pushed back a little.
“What are you doing here?”.
” I brought lunch for you” She replied.
“What, how do you know my company?”.
” Mom told me”.
“Um, hey, you must be Nora?”. Richard asked stretching out his hand for a handshake and she took his hand.
” Yeah”.
“Nice to meet you, am Richard, Alex’s friend”
“Oh, nice to meet you too”.
” Same here, I must say you look beautiful just like Alex said”. he said and I gave a frowned look.
“Aww! Thank you”.
” You are welcome”.
“You shouldn’t have brought lunch to me “.
” Why not? I made a lot of effort to make this delicious meal for you”.
“Nora is not…
” Come on Alex, don’t reject such an offer, just as she said, she made a lot of effort preparing this for you”. Richard interrupted and I gave him a dead look.
“You see, your friend is right”. She said.
I sighed tiredly and I had no choice but to eat the food. I could see the excitement in her eyes. we left to the table and she dished the food on the table, I was amazed by the aroma of the food and it looked delicious.
” Wow, it smells nice, I hope it tastes nice with the well it smells”. Richard said.
“Definitely, you are going to love it,” she said.
I took a scoop of the meal and I was surprised by the taste.
“Hmm, this tastes nice”. Richard said.
“Am glad you like it”. She smiles.
” Did you make this?”. I asked.
“Yes, do you like it?”.
I took a scoop of the meal to be sure of the taste. It tastes familiar and it tastes exactly the same food prepared in one of the restaurants I once ate from.
“Is nice”. I finally replied to her and continued eating.

Later in the evening, I was seated on my balcony when I heard a knock on my doorstep and I thought to myself if it was Nora because I didn’t want to see her, but the knock on the door kept disturbing me. I sighed and asked the person to come in.
“Sir”. Aurora called from behind and I turned to her.
” Yes Aurora, what’s it?”.
“Sir, I came to inform you that there is no foodstuff, so I will need some money to buy some foodstuff”. She said.
“OK, remind me tomorrow morning and I will give you the money”.
“OK sir, I will write down what is not at home and let you know the amount”.
“OK, Good night Aurora”.
” Good night sir”. She turned to leave, but suddenly, she made a stop, and I heard her groan in pain as she held her head.
I stood up and rushed to her quickly.
“Are you okay?”. I asked curiously and she nodded.” Are you sure?”.
“Yes sir, is just a migraine headache”.
” Do you want to go to the hospital?”.
“No, sir, is nothing, I will just lay down and it will be gone by tomorrow morning”.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes sir,”. She walks away and I stare after her.

AURORA POV
After serving their breakfast, I went to the dining room to give him the list of the food items that were needed.
” Is this the list?”.he asked as he glanced through it.
“Yes sir”.
” Ok”. he said.
I was surprised when he brought out his credit card and gave it to me.
“Sir, I “.
” Yes, you can use my credit card to buy what is needed”. he stood up to leave. “I will be on my way”. he left and I stared at him.
I turned to leave when Nora stopped me.
” Hey, you, you better don’t steal any money from that card”. She warned rudely and I left without a word to her.
Some hours later, I returned from the grocery store and it was quite winding and was about to rain heavily. I paid the cab man and went inside. I rang the doorbell severally, but no one came to open the door, I knocked, no response.
“Did she lock the door and go out?”. I wondered and I stared around the compound, her car was parked at the garage, I went to security to ask if Nora had left the house and he said no. I sighed and went around the house to see if there was any exit door I could use to get in, but everywhere was locked. I kept knocking, ringing the doorbell, and yelling out her name, but there was no response, it suddenly began to rain and there was no place to hide.
I rushed to hide on the veranda, but the wind blew the rain to my side, I rushed to the garage, and the same thing happened, I wondered if the rain was sent to me by someone. I was getting cold and there was no place for me to hide from the rain, I rushed to the back of the house near the kitchen door, I stayed there hiding from the rain, it was the only place to hide, but I was still wet from the rain, I sat near the door and squeeze myself holding tight to the foodstuff I brought so it won’t get wet by the rain. I was shivering and battling with cold.

NARRATOR POV
Some moment later after the rain had subsided, Nora came out of the house to where Aurora was, she saw her unconscious, and she smirked.
” Serve you right, this will teach you a big lesson for you not to dare me, I hope you die there”. She said staring hard at her before she went back inside.
Not too long after, Alexander arrived home and Nora rushed to welcome him as she took his suitcase from him.
“Thanks”. He said.
” You are back so early?”.
“Yes, I needed to finish up some work at home”.
“Ok, I will take this to your room”. She said and walked away.
Alexander sat down on the couch taking off his suit jacket.
” Aurora”. He called, but there was no response. “Aurora”. He called again.
” She is not back from the market”. Nora said as she climbed down the staircase.
“What? by this time?”.
” Yes, I wonder why she hasn’t returned”.
Alexander brought out his phone and dialed her number but it was switched off, he dialed it again and the same thing happened.
“Where could she be?”.
” I knew it was a bad idea to leave your credit card with her, Maybe she disappeared with it”.She sneered.
Alexander wondered and then left to where the security man was including Nora who followed him behind.
“Is Aurora not back from where she went?”.
👨✈️ ” Um, yes sir, she came, I saw her some minutes ago before the rain started”.
“Really? Then where is she?”. Nora asked.
👨✈️ ” I don’t know, maybe we can search around the compound”. He suggested.
“If she was back, why didn’t she ring the doorbell or even knock so that I could know she was back”. Nora said pretending like she knew nothing about Aurora’s whereabouts.
Alexander left to search for her including the security, they searched around the house and they were shocked to see her leaning on the kitchen doorstep unconscious and soaking wet.
” Aurora!”. Alexander called and rushed to her quickly. He noticed she was cold as ice.”Aurora”. He called trying to wake her up.
“Why is she here?”. Nora feigned as she watched Alexander carry her up in his arms and walk away. She clenched her fist angrily.
