“Going my way”. He asked and Aurora raised her face to him surprisedly.

” I don’t think there is something to talk about”.
“There is Aurora, I know you are heartbroken and upset right now and we know he made a mistake, but he needs you, he hasn’t been himself since the day you stopped talking to him”.
” That’s because there is nothing to talk about, we had to end whatever relationship we had before, and he has a responsibility to take now”.
“But we are not sure if the pregnancy belongs to him or not”.
” But he had a nightstand with her”.
“That was the mistake he made, please Aurora, Alex is losing it, he had lost an important contract worth millions of dollars because of this”. He said and Aurora was surprised.
” What? Is it the contract with…”.
“Yes, Aurora”. He cut her short.” he lost it and now he is more devastated and right now he yawns for your attention”.
“I can’t Mr. Richard, things are different now”.
” Nothing has changed”. He sighed. “He planned on having a DNA test tomorrow to be sure if the pregnancy is his”.
” Why did he want to do that?”.
“To be sure, because he can’t remember anything about the night with Nora”.
” Was he drug?”.
“That we don’t know, please Aurora, for my sake give him another chance,”.he said, and she sighed tiredly trying to control her tears.

••MRS.STELLA MANSION••
Alexander drove to her mother’s place angrily after finding out what she had done.
“Mom!”. He called and his voice echoed around the house which made his mother and grandfather rush down from their rooms.
” Son, you are here”. She said.
“What have you done Mom?”.
” What?”.
“Don’t play pretense with me, what was the meaning of this?”. He shows her the video.
” Oh, what’s wrong with that”.
“Everything! Why will you do a thing that is meant to be private”.
” Private? You expect me to keep a thing of joy private? This is my first grandchild”.
“Really?Mom! Well let me make it clear to you, there is no way I am getting married to Nora until I prove that child is mine. He said and walked away ignoring his mother.
” You dare son! That child is yours and I know of it “.
” Stop pressuring him”.
“What Father, I am not doing anything to him”.
” You are, allow him to be happy, let him decide what he wants, he is not a kid anymore”.
“He needs to take responsibility for his actions, no grandchild of mine will be born out of wedlock”. she sighed. ” You should be happy that you will be a great-grandfather soon”.
“I am not desperate for a great-grandchild, I want my grandchild to be happy in the decision he made not the one he is forced to “. he said and left for his room.
” Dad!”. She sighed tiredly.
An hour later, Alexander came back to the company and walked straight to his office, he sat down on his couch with his head bowed to the ground. Aurora entered her office because she left earlier to make a warm coffee for herself, she saw him in the state of depression and she sighed.
“Drink this to calm your nerves”. She said standing in front of him. Alex was stunned to see her.
” Aurora?”. He called surprisedly and pulled her into his arms quickly. “You came back, please don’t go away from me again”. He sniffed and caressed her face” I missed you”.
“I…”. Alex shut her up with a deep kiss, he caressed her body and deepened the kiss.
After a while, they pulled away from each other to catch a glimpse of their breath.
” Please don’t go away from me again, I need you beside me”. He hugged her tight to himself.
“I won’t “. She said and they sat down facing each other.” I am not going anywhere, I am here”. she smiled at him.
“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you”.
” Is nothing to worry about, I know everything that happens is not your fault”. She said as tears filled her eyes.”Come here”. she pulled him into her arms and caressed his hair.

Two days later, Nora decided to have the DNA test after she was persuaded by Alex. Both were waiting for the doctor in his office.
“I can’t believe you will doubt that this pregnancy is yours”. Nora said angrily.
” I just want to be sure since I can’t remember what happened that night, “.he said.
” You are the only man I have been since I broke up with my ex-boyfriend,” she said and then Doctor Michael entered.
“Sorry, I kept you two waiting”. he apologized and sat down.
“Are the test results out?”Nora asked.
” Here is it”. he stretched the envelope to them and Nora snatched it from him quickly and opened it, she glanced through it and stared hard at Alexander.
“I can’t believe you doubted me”. She stood up with her handbag and dashed out of the office angrily, Alex stared after her and sighed.
” What are you going to do now, the DNA stated the pregnancy is yours”.
“Honesty Michael, I don’t know I am so confused right now”. he said.
” Is okay, don’t think it too hard”.
