WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 21 – 30
By Authoress Isabella
ALEXANDER POV
Waking up to see a strange lady in my room serving my breakfast got me worried that my mother was up to nothing good, I know what happened last night, wasn’t Aurora’s fault, mistakes do happen, and I can’t blame her for that. When I got to know my mom hired a new cook for me, I knew she had scolded Aurora for what happened to me, I searched around for her and I became relieved when I saw her in the laundry room.
“Aurora”. I called. She turned in my direction immediately after she heard my voice I could see the relief on her face when she saw me.
” Good Morning sir, you are awake”. She said.
” Why are you here? Why is my breakfast not ready?”.I asked and she became speechless and scared at the same time.
“Um, am sorry sir”.
” Sorry about what?”.
“Your mom warned me to stop preparing your meal for you”.
” And you abide by her words without my consent”.
“Am sorry sir”.
” Stop apologizing, I am your boss, you answer only to me, now, go in there and fix me something to eat, am famished”.
“Ok, sir”. She gave a slight bow and turned to leave when I got interrupted by my mother.
” She won’t dare son”. My mother said and I sighed tiredly and turned in her direction.
“Mom, do I remind you that this is my house”.
” Do I also remind you that I am your mother and whatever that concerns you, also concerns me”.She said.
“Stop being paranoid, she is my employee”.
” And I am your mother!”. She yelled.
I sighed tiredly.”Mom, please!”. I said and I walked away with Aurora.
“Alex!”. She called and I ignored her.
We got to the kitchen to see the new maid tidy up the place, immediately she saw us, she stopped what she was doing.
” How much did my mom pay you to come work for me?”.I asked talking to the girl and I could see the fear in her eyes.
“Big enough to help my family situation, sir”. She said nervously.
” Well, I will give you double of the amount, I don’t need your service here, I already have a cook”. I brought out my phone and asked her for her account details, she said it out to me and I did a transfer for her.” Done! Get your things and leave my house”.
She got the alert and fell on her knees crying happily.
“Thank you so much sir”. She said and then rushed out of the kitchen quickly.
I sighed and turned to Aurora who stood looking confused.
” What are you doing? Fix me breakfast, am famished”.
“Ok, sir”.
” I will be in my room”. I turned to leave but she stopped me.”What? Is there something you need?”.I asked and she gulped nervously fidgeting with her hands. “What’s wrong Aurora?”. I asked again knowing fully well she had something to say but was afraid to say it.
” Um, can you stay here while I prepare your breakfast”.She said.
“Why?”.
” I..i..i”. She sputtered.”Never mind, I will fix your breakfast now”. She said and started cooking.
I suddenly recalled what she meant and I sat down to watch her cook, she noticed I was still there, and I could hear her sigh in relief. Some minutes later, she was done and I asked her to serve me there, which she did, I was about to take a sip from my tea when suddenly a hand grabbed the tea from me and smashed it on the floor.
“Mom!”. I yelled surprisedly and she started throwing off my meal, I got pissed off and try stopping her.” Mom stop it!”.
“You will not eat her food ever again!”. She said angrily and continued smashing the food on the floor.” She is evil!”.
“Mom!”. I grabbed her quickly.” That’s enough!”. I shouted.
“You dare hold my hands? How dare you? Let go of my hands”. She struggled but I was holding tight to her hand.
” I won’t let you Mother, you just ruin my breakfast”.
“Because it’s poison and…” She paused her words quickly and started feeling dizzy.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”. I asked curiously and she fell unconscious.” Mom!”.
“Mom, please wake up”. Nora voice out.
I carried her in my arms and rushed her to my room with Nora running behind me, I lay her down and quickly phoned the doctor. Some minutes later, Luke came and started to examine her, after the examining on her, he told us she would be fine that her blood pressure had risen and she needed a long rest.

Some hours later, Aurora was in her room feeling sad and blaming herself for what was happening.
” Please let this month come to an end so that I can have my peace, am being blamed for everything and it’s my fault, my presence here is causing a lot of problems, I don’t want to be here anymore”.She sniffs and gets interrupted.
“Do you want to leave?” Alexander asked from the doorstep and Aurora raised her face to him quickly wondering how long he had been standing there.
“Sir…”.
” Do you want to leave? Is okay if you want to go, I won’t hold it against you, I can let you go and you don’t have to pay your debt to me anymore”. He said firmly but sadness could be heard in his voice.
“No sir, I won’t, I will complete the end of the bargain, I can endure, I still have two weeks to stay”. She replied.
There was silence between the two of them until Alexander sighed and walked away.

A week later, things were still getting awkward between Aurora and Alexander’s Mother, and Nora in the house. Mrs Stella had to stay at her son’s house for a while because of her health and she and Nora always made hell for Aurora whenever Alexander was not around, but she kept enduring it because she had limited time in the house.
Soon Alexander went out on a business trip that would last for two days. Aurora was tidying up the house when Stella walked up to her.
” How many hours will it take you to tidy up the place?”. She quarrels.
“Am sorry ma, am almost done”.
” Sorry for your stupid self”. She kissed her teeth and sat down on the couch. Nora came over and sat down next to her.
“How are you feeling Mom?”. She asked smiling.
” Getting better dear” She smiled back and then turned her face to Aurora angrily.”Get me a glass of water from the kitchen and when you are coming, lock the kitchen door and bring the keys to me”. She orders.
“Yes, ma”. Aurora said and left to the kitchen to get her the water.
” Mom, don’t you think this is the best time to send her away since Alex is not here”. Nora said.
“No, you know Alex’s first reaction when we sent her away, he will react the same way if he finds out that we sent her out”.
” I really can’t stand her anymore, we need to deal with her before Alex comes back “.
” Don’t worry about that, I will handle everything”. She smirk. just then Aurora came back with the water and the keys and gave them to her before she returned to what she was doing.
A minute later, was at the laundry using the washing machine and at the same time yawning from hunger, she had no access to the kitchen since the keys were with Mrs.Stella. After doing all the house chores, she left for her room to see if she found any money in her purse, she was lucky enough to see a dollar note in her purse and it was enough for a can of juice and a snack.
“Thank goodness”. She smiles and walks away, she is about to come out of the house when Mrs Stella interrupts her.
” Where the heck are you going?”. She asked rudely
“To get something down the street ma”. She replied.
” Ok”. She said and Aurora walked away.
A minute later, she came back and knocked on the gate, the security man came out and hesitated to open the gate.
“What’s wrong? Why are not opening the gate?”. She wondered.
👨✈️” Am sorry, she asked me not to”.
“Who?”. She asked confusedly Mrs. Stella’s voice came from the building.
” Don’t you dare open the gate for anyone!”. She yelled and went back inside ignoring Aurora’s calling.
👨✈️”Am sorry, I wish I could help”.
“No is okay, is not your fault, I will sit here and wait, in case she changes her mind”.
👨✈️” Okay, be careful”.
“Thanks”. she replied and went and sat down on a block near the gate.
An hour later, it began to get darker and Aurora was freezing in the cold outside the gate, she folded her arms. Then the security man opened the gate quietly and sneaked out to where Aurora was.
👨✈️” Ms.Aurora have this jacket, it will help with the cold”.
“Thank you”. She took the jacket and wore it around her body.
👨✈️ ” Are you sure you can cope out here, it’s getting cold”.
“Is okay, I will manage, she won’t allow me in any way”.
👨✈️” How about I help you inside without her notice”.
“No, I can’t let you do that, if she catches you, you might get into trouble”. she said.” Don’t worry about me, I will be fine. This estate is secure enough”.
👨✈️”Okay, just look after yourself here, don’t move around “.
” I won’t, thanks for your concern”.
👨✈️”You are welcome, l know if the boss was around, none of this would have happened”. he said and sneaked back inside locking the gate.
Another minute passed, and a car drove toward the direction of the gate flashing lights to her eyes, she closed her to prevent the light from entering her eyes, and then the car engine stopped as it packed facing the gate and Aurora wondered who it was, but to her surprise she saw a familiar man walk up to her.
“Aurora right?”. Richard asked and she stood up quickly.
” yes sir, that’s me”. She replied.
“You remember me right?”.
” Yes I do, you are my boss’s friend”.
“Am glad you remember my face”. He smiles.” But what are you doing out here in the cold?”.
“Um”. She sputtered nervously.
” What’s wrong?”.
“Nothing sir, but if you are here to see my boss, he is not back from his trip”. She said.
” I know, he sent me here”.
“is he back from his trip?”. She asked curiously.
” No, he will be back tomorrow, he called me to bring some files to him tomorrow at his office, that’s why I am here to get the files”.He explained.
“Okay, I guess the files must be in his room”.
” Yeah, he told me where to find it, if you will excuse me”. he moved to knock at the gate, and the security man came out and opened the gate for him immediately he saw him, he greeted him warmly and Richard replied with a smile as he went inside.
