CHAPTER 25 & 26
ALEXANDER POV
I didn’t get the chance to explain everything to Richard because he left after eating to attend an urgent meeting, I was piling up some work in my office when Richard walked in, I raised my face to him and sighed.
“Don’t you have work to do in your company?”. I asked and he scoffed.
” I came here for you to explain what I saw in your house yesterday, you thought I would overlook it? Nah”. he said.
I scoffed.”I have no explanation to give you”.
“Sure you do! What did you do that made that girl end up as a cook in your house”.
” You are so demanding”.
“Yes I am, you know me too well, did you pay her boyfriend to allow his girlfriend to stay with you?”.
” No, I “. I sighed. ” She is only working for a month and then she will go back to her normal life”.
“Why?”.
” Well, it’s a punishment actually, she broke my expensive vessel and she is paying for it by working one month with me”. I explained.
“Are you serious?”.
” Yes”.
“And her boyfriend allowed it? he allowed his girlfriend to stay with a wealthy and most dangerous bachelor in the city of Los Angeles and also a woman’s choice of a man, tell me, did you pay him off?”.
” No, Besides, she and the useless boyfriend of hers are no more”.
“What? They broke up?”.
” Yeah, the guy was so stupid”.
“Alex, what did you do?”.
” Excuse you!”.
“Do you have anything to do with their break up?”.
” Hell no, the guy was to be blamed, his jealousy and….” I got interrupted.
“Why won’t he be jealous, whose guy on his right sense will allow his girlfriend to work for a wealthy bachelor, without thinking the opposite”.
” That wasn’t the reason, he sold her girlfriend to two old men to lay with”. I said and Richard gasped.
“He did what?!”.
” Yeah, the girl found out and that’s what ended their relationship”.
“How stupid can he be? Did he know what he had lost? Gosh! I wish I could see him and strangle him with my bare hands”.
” Now you see I am not to be blamed”.
“Yeah, now, does this mean I can shoot my shot with her?”. he asked smiling at me.
” Excuse you!”
“Yes, you know I have always liked her, now that she is back in the market, I can shoot my shot”.
” You won’t dare”.
“Why not?”.
” She is under my authority and I won’t let you have your way with her”.
“Why not? Do you want her as well?”.
” Excuse me!”.
“You heard me”.
” No, she is not my type”.
“Oh really?”. he stared knowingly at me and I turned my face away.

AURORA POV
I was pestering around my room wondering why the sudden care he was giving me, he was never like this with me when I started working here, he is always cold and mean. I kept pondering on it when I heard the doorbell, I rushed out of my room to open the door thinking he was the one, because, for the past few days, he had been coming home early, but my thoughts were wrong as Nora and his mother were standing at the doorstep giving me a disgusting look and Nora was holding her luggage.
” Um, good day ma”.I greeted politely. She ignored me and walked inside while I shut the door behind me.
“Where is my son?” She asked unfriendly.
“Um, he is not back from the office”. I replied and she walked up to me frowning at me.
” And what are you still doing in this house?”. She asked and I raised my face to her confusedly without responding. “Are you deaf?”.
” Um, am working here ma”.
“Well, your service is no longer needed here, I don’t like your kind of person, I can see you are the reason why my son is not giving attention to his woman”.
” Yes Mom, Alex chose her over me, he always cared for her like he was in love with her”. Nora said and I was surprised.
“Never! My son will never fall for a gold digger like her”. She retorted and I lowered my head to the ground.” Now look at me”. she commanded and I raised my face to her.”Are you sleeping with my son?”
“No, no ma, am not, am just his employee, that’s all”. I sputtered.
” Shut up!”. She yelled and landed a slap across my face. “You liar!”.
” Am not ma”. I said trying to defend myself while holding my face.
“She is mother, she is lying, she is the reason why Alex is ignoring me”. Nora said angrily.
” You don’t have to worry about that, she is leaving this house today, I know her kind of person, who plays innocent and at the end steals from us, now, go in there, pack your things and leave this house immediately”. she yelled.
“But ma, your…” She interrupted me.
“I said leave before I called the cop on you”. She retorts and I hurry to my room to start packing my belongings.
I tried controlling my tears, but it wasn’t working as they fell out of my eyes, I had never been this humiliated before, why would she accuse me of sleeping with her son? I can never do that, I am nobody in the eyes of her son, am just paying my debt to him.
” What is taking you so long in there”. Nora voiced out and I came out with my belongings.
“Now, listen to me, if you ever step foot in this house again, I will make sure you rot in jail, now scram!”. She yelled and I rushed out quickly. ” Nonsense”!.
That was the last word I heard from her before I walked to the gate where the security man who surprised to see me leaving.
👨✈️”Are you leaving Ms. Aurora?”.
“Um…I got interrupted.
” Open the gate and let that thing come out!”. She voiced out from the building, the security man obeyed and he opened the gate and I came out while he closed back the gate.
I could see his pitiful look on me as I stared back at the mansion one more time and walked away rolling my luggage with me with tears in my eyes.

Later in the evening, Alexander returned from the office, he went inside and sat down on the couch trying to relax a little.
“Aurora”. He called but there was no response.” Aurora”. he called and he got interrupted.
“She is not here son”. his mother said from the kitchen with Nora beside her. Alexander was surprised to see the two of them.
” Mom? You are here?”. He asked surprisedly as he stood up.
“Yes son, I came in some hours ago”. she replied.
” why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”.
“do I need permission from you before coming to your house?”.
” But this is my house, I still need to know, by the way, what do you mean by ‘Aurora is not here’, did you send her on an errand?”.
“Hell no, she is not worth my errand, I fired her”. she blunted.
” Excuse you!”.
“Yes, her service to you is no longer needed in this house”.
” Says who, mother?”. He sighed trying to control his anger.”Why did you fire her?”.
“Because she is not wanted here anymore, Nora is here, she can fill in her space”.
” Mom, please, I think this is getting too much, this is my house for heaven’s sake! You have no right to fire my employee without my consent”.He said angrily.
“I have every right because I am your mother!”. She retort.” who the hell is she that I can not fire her? She is nobody and she is the reason you haven’t been noticing the woman met for you”.
” Stop Mother! stop it! You don’t have any right to decide for me, I am not a kid anymore, I am a full grown man who knows his right and wrong, I employed Aurora, only l alone, is allowed to fired her if I choose to”. He yelled and turned to leave.
“Where are you going?”.
” To bring Aurora back to this house “.He replied.
” You won’t dare son”.
“This my house mom, if you are not cool with it, you can as well leave”. He said and walked away ignoring his mother’s calling.
” You see Mother, am sure he is falling for that girl”. Nora said grumbling.
“That will not happen, not when I am still alive”. She said and sighed before turning to Nora.” You don’t have to worry about anything, I will never allow anyone to come between you and my son, understand?”. she said smiling at her and she nodded smiling back.”Let’s go and finish what we are doing in the kitchen”. She said and they went back to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Aurora came back to her grandmother’s house, she was taking a nap in her room when Erica came to inform her that there was someone here to see her, without delay she rushed out of the house thinking it was Alexander who had come to look for her, but to her greatest disappointment it was Charles.
“Charles? What the heck are you doing here?”. she voiced out angrily.
” Please Aurora, please forgive me, I miss us, please, whatever thing you want me to do, I will do it just to have you back”. he said sincerely.
“Don’t you get it! We are done, there is no us anymore, didn’t I warn you to stay away from me, please leave me alone”.
” I can’t! Please give me another chance, I can’t live without you, please!”. he sob.
Aurora turned to leave he hugged her from behind pleading seriously and regretting his actions, Aurora struggled to get loose from him.
“Let me go!”. She yelled as tears crawled out from her eyes, but Charles’s arms were still tight on her.
” Please Aurora, give me another chance, I love you, please”.
“Get away from her!”. Alexander interrupted them
There was so much anger in his voice as he rushed to Charles and pushed him hard on the face, he groaned and fell on the floor bleeding from the nose. Aurora was surprised by what he did and Alexander turned to her quickly.
” Are you okay? Did he hurt you?”. he asked curiously checking her body if she was hurt in any part.
“No, I…”. she got interrupted.
” Are you sure?”. He caressed her face as wipe off her tears with his thumb.
“Yes, but what are you doing here?”. She asked staring into his eyes as their eyes interlocked affectionately.
