WHEN THE BEAST MEETS THE BEAUTY : CHAPTER 71 – 80
ALEXANDER POV
I was piling up some work in my office when Richard walked in, we exchanged pleasantries before he sat down.
“How is it going?”. He asked.
” Great, am just hanging on”. I replied.
“I can see that, so have you decided yet?”.
” What exactly?”.
“The responsibility of the child since the DNA results say it’s yours”.
I sighed.” Well, I have no choice, I will take responsibility for the child but I am not having Nora as my wife”.
“What about your mom? Do you think she will agree to it?”.
” I don’t care, I can’t spend the rest of my life with someone I feel no affection for”.
“But do you think she will agree? With the look of it, that girl is desperate to have you and I don’t think you can escape from it”. He said.
” Am so confused right now”.
“Don’t worry, it’s gonna be fine”. He said and then Aurora walked in holding a photocopy of the files I asked her to print for me.” Hello Aurora, is so good to have you back”.
“Thank you, Mr. Richard”. She smiles and places the files on the table.
” Is this all?”. I asked staring lovingly at her.
“Yes, you can see for yourself”. She said but I ignored her words and continued staring at her.
I guess she immediately noticed my gaze on her and she blushed nervously.
” If you guys are going to start your romance, I bet to take my leave”. he stood up.” I will see you later man”. we shook hands and he left.
“That was embarrassing”. She said.
” What”.
“Why will you be looking at me like that in front of your friend?”. She blushed.
” I didn’t do anything, come on here”.
“Huh”.
” Yeah, come here”. I said and she walked up to me nervously and pulled her to sit on my lap as I encircled my arms around her.
“Alex, what are you doing, someone might walk in on us”. She said trying to wiggle out from my arms but I held her tight.
” I don’t care if anyone walks in us, I just want to remain like this for a while to ease the depression I am going through”. I said and I rested my head on her back.
“So, this is the reason why you have refused to answer my call”.
We got interrupted by Nora’s angry voice and we pulled away from each other.
” What are you doing here Nora?”.
“Are you seriously asking me that stupid question? I am carrying your child for goodness sake and right now is when I need your attention more and you are here with her”. She said angrily giving Aurora a bad look.
” Maybe I should excuse you two”. Aurora said and tried to leave but Nora stopped.
“Where the heck do you think you are going, you this snatcher”. She yelled and Aurora ignored her.
” Nora, can you please leave my office, I will see you when I am chance”.
“Am not going anywhere, she is the reason why you are not giving me attention”.
” Can you please leave my way, I have things to do”. Aurora said.
“Or what? push me? You should be ashamed of yourself, for flirting with a man that is not yours “. She said rudely and Aurora scoffed.
” And he is not yours to keep either, please get off my way”.
“I won’t! Leave my man alone”.
” I don’t have time for your nonsense”. She turned to leave, but Nora pulled her back and landed a slap across her face.
I was surprised.” Nora!”. I yelled and moved to her angrily. “What is wrong with you?”.
” You both are wrong with me!”.
I stare hard at her trying to control my anger and I move to Aurora.
“Are you okay?”. I caressed her face and she nodded. ” Don’t you ever raise your hands on her again”. I said turning to Nora.
“Or what? I am carrying your child!”.
” I know that and I will take responsibility for it, but that doesn’t give you the right to claim ownership of me, I don’t belong to you, but her, now beat it”. I said and she screamed out loud.
“You coward!”. She rushed trying to attack Aurora, but I stopped her, but suddenly she groaned in pain and I rushed to her.” My tummy”. She groans and passes out.
“Nora!” I try waking her up.
“You should take her to the hospital”. Aurora panicked.
I carried Nora in my arms and rushed out with Aurora following me behind, we came downstairs, and everyone was staring confusedly at us until we got to the car and asked the driver to take us to the hospital.
Some moments later, we were waiting in the lobby for the doctor, and not too long after, he came out.
” How is she?”. I asked
“She will be fine, right now in her condition is not good for her to be stressed, is dangerous for the baby “. Dr.Luke said.
” But, will she be okay?”. Aurora asked looking worried.
“Yes, next time don’t do something that will ignite her mood, it might harm the baby “. He said.
I sighed.” OK, thank you”.
“You are welcome, am sorry I wasn’t around to take the DNA, but I heard my assistant did”.
” Yeah”. I replied.”Can I see her now?”.
“Sure, she will be discharged later”.
” Okay, thank you”.
“Anytime”. He left.
I sighed and left for Nora’s house, but Aurora stayed behind. I got to her room to see her awake.
” You are awake, how are you feeling?”. I asked and she stared around confusedly.
“Where am I? How did I get here?”.
” You passed out, so I brought you here, are you okay?”. I asked firmly. she sat upright and turned her face away.
“Like you care”. she frowned.
” Am sorry”.
“I don’t need your apologies, just leave me alone”. she said and I sighed.

NARRATOR POV
Later in the day, Mrs. Stella heard what happened to Nora, so she decided to visit her at her parent’s house, she was welcomed warmly.
” Are you Nora?”.Mrs.Stella asked
“She is fine now, your son brought her in earlier”. Nora’s father said.
” What is your son waiting for? Why is he taking time to do the right thing, my daughter can’t have her child out of wedlock”. Nora’s mother said furiously.
“Of course, she won’t, I have arranged for their engagement party, so, you don’t need to worry about that”. She said and Nora became excited.
” Really Mom? Alex agrees to continue with the engagement.”.
“He had no choice, he got you pregnant so he must marry you”. Mrs. Stella said.
” But you have to let him know”. Nora’s father said.
“Sure, I will”.
“Am so happy”. Nora said and they smiled.

••ALEXANDER MANSION••
Some hours later, Mrs. Stella informed her son of his engagement with Nora and she got furious.
” Why will you do that without my consent, there is no way I am getting engaged to Nora, I don’t love her mother”.
“But you got her pregnant “.
” That was the biggest mistake I made because I still can’t remember anything, I only agreed to take responsibility for the child, not to get married to her”. he said.
“There is nothing you can do son, it’s tradition”. His grandfather interrupted them as he walked in.
” Grandpa?”. He called surprisedly.
“Yes, it is a tradition in the family that anyone who has a woman pregnant outside wedlock must get married to the lady”. he said.
” What?”.
“Yes son, that is what I wanted to tell you, the same thing happened to me and your father, we can’t go against it because it brings bad luck to the family”.
” But I don’t want to, f!ck the tradition! I know I messed up but I can’t end with someone I have no affection for, I have someone my heart yawns for “.
” Enough son!”Mrs.Stella yelled as she stood up.”You have a week to decide on getting married to Nora, you can’t change tradition. You have to leave that girl and focus on your child”. She said and walked away angrily.
Alexander grunted angrily and His grandfather moved to pat his shoulder.
“Am sorry son, I wish I could help “. He said.

” How may I help you?”. She asked politely.
👤”There is someone here to see you”.
“Who?”. she asked and then she caught sight of Mrs. Stella coming down from a tinted car parked in front of her house, her heart flinched.
” I came to see you”. She said and walked up to her.
“Good day ma”.
” So, this is where you stay”. She said disgustingly.”Anyway, let me not waste my precious time on you, I am here to warn you again, what do you want from my son? Why are you on motive to ruin my son’s happiness, leave him alone!”. She yelled and the noise made Aurora’s grandmother come out.
“What is going on here?”.
” Oh, I guess you are a guardian to her?”. She asked rudely.
“She is my granddaughter, why are you yelling at her?”.
” Well, tell her to stay away from my son, my son is engaged and to be married soon, but your granddaughter here is standing in the way of my son’s relationship, my son is taking a decision that will ruin his life and bring disgrace to my family because of her”. She said and sighed.”don’t make me come here and warn you against my son, so, back off”. She said and walked away.
“Aurora what’s going on? What is she saying”.
“nothing to worry about let’s go inside”.She helped her inside and shut the door against them.
