WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 61 – 70
NARRATOR POV
Alexander opened his eyes weakly to see someone beside him on the bed.
“Aurora”. He called and then opened his eyes fully to see Nora was the one beside him. “Nora?”.
” You are finally awake, how are you feeling?”. She asked smiling and he sat upright on the bed.
“What are you doing here? Where is Aurora?”. He asked confusedly and Nora frowned.
” She left”. His mother said as she entered with a tray of food.
“What do you mean she left? Mom, what did you do this time?”.
” How do you mean?”. She asked.
“Don’t play dumb with me Mother, I know you have done something to her, Where is she?”. He asked losing his patience.
” I told you she left, her services are no longer needed here, your fiancee is here, she can take of you”.
“Who are you to make that decision for me? This is my house Mother, you don’t come in here and control what happens around me”. He said angrily and stood up to leave.
” Where are you going Alex? You can get off the bed like that, you are not feeling too well”. Nora said.
“Did I make a complaint to you that I was sick? By the way what are you two doing here?”.
” Alex! I am your mother and she is your fiancee, we have every right to be here, if we didn’t come here, we wouldn’t have known you were sick”.
“Mom, that’s enough! Nora here is not my fiancee and I am cutting off the engagement”. he said and they were surprised.
” What?!”.
“You heard me, Mom”. He said and left the room leaving his mom and Nora in great shock.
” Mom, please don’t allow him to cut off the engagement, I want to be with Alex and no one else”. She sobs.
“He will not do that, maybe the sickness had gotten to his brain that he can’t think straight”. She said.
Meanwhile, Alex came out and was about to call his driver to drive him to Aurora’s place when he caught sight of Aurora sitting by the veranda.
” Aurora”. he called surprisedly and Aurora turned to him. he hugged her tight to his arms, and after a while, they pulled away from each other.
“Why are you out here? You should be resting”. Aurora said.
” I woke and I didn’t see you beside me and I knew my mother had done something to you”. He caressed her face a saw marks on it.”What happened to your face? Did my mother hit you?”.
“Um, no, I…i”. She got interrupted.
” Don’t lie to me, my mother did this to you, right?”.
“Why is she still here?”. They got interrupted and Aurora hid behind Alexander’s back.
” Mom, what do you think you are doing? Why did you hit Aurora in the face?”.
“She does not belong here”.
” Says who? This is my house and you have no right to decide who stays or not”.
“What has gotten into you son? Are you having anything with her?”.
” What do you expect”.
“Alex! I am your fiancee”. Nora’s voice out.
” You are not, because it’s over”. He said and turned to his mother.”I have a choice, I am not a kid anymore if I want someone for myself and that will be Aurora, I don’t care if you accept it or not”.
“Never son! That will not happen”.
” Then suit yourself and use the door, I am tired of your bullying towards her and it must stop! If you are allowed to decide whatever you want always.”. He took Aurora’s hand and dragged her inside shutting the door against them.
“Mom! he means what he is saying, he has chosen that girl over me”. Nora grumbled.
” What has she given my son? I will not let this happen, not on my watch!”.She said.
Meanwhile, Alex and Aurora came to the room.
“That was uncalled for you to talk back at your mother like that, she was only looking out for her son”.
” That wasn’t lookout, that was mean of her to always bully you”.
“But she is your mother!”.
” I know”. He caressed her face.”Don’t worry about that, she is my mother and she will get over it”.
“But–” She got shut by a kiss on the lips.
“No, but”. He pulled her into his arms and crushed his lips with her. The kiss became intense and Alex broke out of it as he groaned in pain.
“Alex, are you okay?”. She asked curiously and helped him sit on the bed.” Does your head hurt?”. She asked seeing him holding his head.
“Yeah, a lot”. He replied.
” Okay, try to relax, and let me make something for you, so, you can take your medication”. She tries to leave, but Alexander grabs her hand.
“Don’t go”. He groans.
” Am not leaving, I just–“. She got interrupted as Alex pulled her to sit on the bed.
“No, sleep next to me, it will cure the headache I have”. he said.
” Um”
“I insist”. He lay down and Aurora slept beside him and he caressed her into his arms.”Much better”.he smiled.

Two days later, Aurora came to grab something at the grocery store, she was moving around searching for what to buy when she bumped into someone.
” Am sorry”. Both said simultaneously and they raised their face to each other.
“Aurora?”. Nina called surprisedly.
” Nina?”.
“Yes, is me “. She said and quickly they hugged each other tight and then pulled away from each other while holding hands.
” You are alive!”. They both said and chuckled.
“Yes”. Aurora said.
” I thought I would never see you again”. Nina said.
“Me too”. They hug each other again.
Some minutes later, Both were seated in a local restaurant chilling with some juice and snacks.
” Tell me, how did you survive the suicide bomber?”.Nina asked.
“Luckily for me, some cops were around the premises and it was Alex’s idea”.
” Alex?”.
“Yes, he came to my rescue”.
” Aww! I knew it”.
“Knew what?”.
” That Alex will come to your rescue, he is your hero”.
“I guess”. They chuckled.” What about you?”.
“Well in that critical moment, while I was still unconscious, something strange happened to me”. Nina said.
” What happened?”.
“I don’t know how to explain it, it was as if I was in a trance, I saw an unfamiliar man reaching his hand out for me and telling me to take his hand and he said he wouldn’t let go of my hand that everything will be fine”.
” Really? Do you see his face?”.
“Yeah, but I don’t know who he was, but believe me, he was damn handsome and he is my type of idea man”. She smiles.
” Aww, someone is falling already”. Aurora teased.
“Maybe, I kept seeing him in my dreams, it was because of the trance I had that I was able to have full confidence in myself, some cops came, and a help me defuse the bomb”.
” Thank heaven they came to rescue us at the right time”.
“I am so happy to see you again”.Nina said.
“Me too, so, what do you do now?”.
” Nothing, am actually looking for a job”.
“Really?”.
” Yeah, I will be going for an interview this week in one of the companies I submitted my CV to”.
“Okay, I wish you luck with that”. Aurora said.
” Me too, hope you are working”.
“Yeah, as a secretary”.
” Wow, that’s nice, should I guess who the boss is”. she teased.
“huh”.
” You are his secretary right”.
“Huh? What are you talking about”.
” I am talking about Alex, your Alex”.
“Oh, yeah, he is my boss”.
” I know that, so, are you two a thing now?”. She asked excitedly.
“I don’t know”. She sighed.
” What do you mean you don’t know, you don’t feel anything for him?”.
“I do, but the whole thing is somehow complicated”.
” Like how, Aurora?”.
“I still don’t understand it, his mom and his supposed fiancee and everything”.
” Are you saying his mother and his supposed fiancee are standing in the way of you two?”.
“Something like that, but I am the one standing in their relationship, his mother blamed me for everything”. Aurora said.
” That’s awful”.
“I don’t know what to do”.
“I totally understand, but love still conquers it all”.Nina said.
They sighed and continued chatting.

Later in the night, Aurora sat on the bed staring out from the window, and then her cell phone rang, she saw the caller ID and picked it up.
” Hey”. She said on the phone and Alexander’s voice came through the other end.
“Hey Aurora, how are you?”.
” Fine, but just tired”.
“Why? Was the work at the office stressful for you?”.
” No, is not that, I just have some groceries to do today, that’s why I am tired”.
“Okay, I miss you”.
” Me too”. She blushed.
“Are you blushing?”.
” Huh? No”. She wonders how he knows.
“Because I can feel it”. he giggles.” So, will you still go out with me tomorrow?”.
“Um,”.
” Please don’t say no”.
“Um, okay, I will go out with you”.
” Yes! Thank you Aurora, you don’t know how happy I am right now”.He said happily on the phone.
“Me too”.
