Alexander halted in his tracks and spun around to face Aurora, his voice high with shock. What? You're pregnant?.
Despite their occasional intimacy, Alexander had never truly been present with Aurora. He would conjure visions of Diana, superimposing them onto Aurora, using her as a substitute for his true love.
Aurora stood frozen, her eyes fixed on Alexander's, her nervousness evident as she bit her lower lip. She saw the distress in his response and sought clarity. What if I'm pregnant? What will you do?.
Alexander's gaze was firm, his voice unwavering. You will need to abort it.
His eyes remained fixed on hers, emotionless, as he asked, Are you truly pregnant?.
Aurora knew Alexander's willingness to terminate the pregnancy for Diana's sake. She had to protect herself and her potential unborn child. Despite not having confirmation, she cracked a smile and shook her head. I'm not pregnant. That's why I asked "what if'."
Alexander's expression changed, relief washing over him. He nodded curtly. That's good. Thank goodness you're not pregnant.
As Aurora sat on the edge of the bed, she placed her hands over her mouth in a gesture of relief, silently thanking her good fortune. She had narrowly escaped a potentially disastrous situation with Alexander, who had made it clear he would terminate a pregnancy to pursue his relationship with Diana.
Alexander removed a paper from his briefcase and handed it to Aurora. Here are the divorce papers. Sign them as soon as possible. I cannot postpone this any further.
Aurora's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the papers. You have already obtained a divorce paper so soon? She asked incredulously.
Alexander nodded. I have been preparing this for several months. Sign them, let's finish this.
He continued, you will be granted five hundred million as alimony for the divorce. Make a wise decision with this immense amount of money. You'll be able to live life to the fullest once we're divorced.
Knowing she couldn't evade the divorce, Aurora hesitated. Allow me to give me time to consider, she pleaded, dropping her head.
Alexander nodded in agreement. Yes, Aurora. That's not an issue. As long as I get my desired outcome, I'll grant you three days to contemplate on your own. During those three days, I won't be returning home. I need space to regain my clarity of mind.
Aurora raised her head, gazing up at Alexander nervously. Where will you stay? she stammered.
Alexander's expression was firm. That's none of your concern. Just sign the divorce papers.
With that, Alexander departed the room, leaving Aurora to make her decision. Despite his eagerness to be rid of her, he felt a lingering emotion, one he couldn't quite understand.
As he settled into his car, Alexander's thoughts seemed to fade into the distance, leaving Aurora to choose her path.
He couldn't miss the second opportunity of been with Diana for the rest of his life.
soon Alexander dialed Diana's number, she answered with excitement in her voice. Hey baby, get ready, we're going to spend a lot of time together soon, Alexander said, his voice filled with anticipation. Diana's response was music to his ears, i can't wait to be with you and have you all to myself again. Let's make love at night once again. Because ever since you got married we only make love and cuddle during day time.
Aurora couldn't help but cry knowing well that he was damn serious about getting a divorce. The senior maid, Mrs. Evelyn, noticed Aurora's distress and knocked on the door, expressing concern about her health and encouraging her to eat.
Please ma'am, try and eat for the past two days you hardly eat. What ever it is, eat first and have the strength to face your fears.
Aurora forced a smile and promised to try, but her heart was heavy with sorrow as she begins to sob again.
Diana welcomed Alexander with a warm hug, and kissed him passionately. She helped him with his briefcase, the room was filled with the delicious aroma and gestured to the delicious food she had prepared.
As they sat down to eat, Diana felt comfortable enough to remove her kimono, catching Alexander's eye. He couldn't help but notice she had gained a little weight, and curiosity got the bet ter of him. Diana, "Are you pregnant?" he asked.
