Aurora was so scared that she used her hands to cover her face.
Behold it was two maids. They were cleaning the corridor and they heard their boss yelling. And everywhere went silent. So jokingly they decided to go and check knowing fully well that they won't open the door when they reach.
Only for them to get to the door and the third maid opened the door and push the two other maids inside, while she ran away.
We are sorry sir. We were cleaning and slipped away and mistakenly open your door sir.
Alexander looked at them scornfully. Why aren't you both careful. You scared my wife. He said
Aurora was amazed as he carried her head and kept it close to his chest. He had never refer to her as his wife before. Or maybe he did but not in her presence.
You can live now, he ordered them out and lock from inside as soon as they left.
You should get some rest, he said to Aurora. You look extremely tired.
As he carried her and lay her down on the bed. They both lay down, and feeling butterflies In their stomach each time that body touches each other.
More like two teenagers that just fell in love.
Alexander's phone ranged and it was a call from his secretary. Mr Jackson.
Hello sir... He said, The ministers just called me that they arrived and want the business deal meeting between you and them soon. They said an emergency came up that's why they change the time to this time.
Okay text me the address of the hotel where the meeting will held, I Will Join them shortly.
He quickly hanged up as he sprang up from bed. Dressed up and look at Aurora she was fast asleep he quickly pecked her forehead and went out with his brief case.
Aurora made sure she heard him drove out of the compound before she quickly stood up and carried her phone, she dialed caramel's number.
She can't wait to tell her about what has transpired between she and Alexander.
Caramel finally picked up the call, the excitement from Aurora's voice was high.
She told caramel everything and caramel became excited too.
Maybe he realized he loved you and maybe he won't divorce you again. Caramel said in a very joyful tone.
Girl,,, I'm sure he won't give me a divorce again... Aurora added.
This calls for celebration, caramel said.
Yes, let me go get some sleep good night lovelie. She hanged up and put her phone inside the small wardrobe and went to sleep.
She woke up in the middle of the night and woke up, its past eleven pm and Alexander haven't returned.
She went to the balcony and checked his car wasn't packed at the car garage either.
She met one of the maid and inquire if their boss is back and they gave a negative response. She decided to back to the room and reach out to him on phone.
She dialed his number it ranged twice, he wasn't picking up his phone.
Aurora was so worried and wondered if anything bad might have happened to him. Then she tried his number again and he picked up.
With a very harsh and loud tone he said to Aurora.
WHAT DID YOU WANT? AURORA? WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? AND WHY ARE YOU DISTURBING ME?.
Aurora became shocked and dumbfounded. She lost her voice to talk. And was confused on why man that professed love to her few hours ago will suddenly change his attitudes to her on phone call.
Earlier that day, As Alexander was in his car going for the meeting, Diana martins his lover called him on phone and when she knew he was out of the house, she quickly told him she's coming also to see him.
After the meeting Alexander went to the room where she was relaxing, then she asked him. How about the divorce? Has she signed the papers.
No, I gave her time. He replied.
Time?, what do you mean time?. She asked
She's still my wife, so I gave her time.
Diana was surprised because Alexander has never spoken to her in such tone before, and even addressing Aurora as his wife.
What do you mean she's still your wife? She queried.
I mean legally she's still my wife and deserve more time to go through the divorce process. He said calmly.
Diana was getting irritated, Alex, remember your promise that once you become the CEO of that company you will get a divorce from the loveless marriage. You said getting married to Aurora will only make it seems like your father won. You need to be in charge of your life and make decisions for yourself to admit to your inner mind that you are a man.
But been with her means you are still a kid living in your dad's past. So what changed now Alex. She said and broke into some fake tears.
Alex quickly hug her to comfort her and as he did his heart begins to harden towards the thought of Aurora . Then her call came in.
*****
You don't have tongue to speak? Or a knife fell over your tongue? He yelled. Well if you can't speak. Goodbye, he said hanging up on her.
I'm so exhausted he said to Diana as he relaxed on a couch. Diana sat on his thigh, resting her head on his shoulder with a grin on her face.
*****
Tears flowed freely from Aurora's eyes as she couldn't endure the pain. She quickly dialed her mother's number Mrs Sarah Douglas.
Hello mum, I'm in severe pains. My husband wants a divorce and he acted like he was okay not getting a divorce any longer and he is In Love with me and now he started acting like previous characters, of not been interesting with me any more. She said and cried heavily.
Mrs Sarah allow her to cry out and heart. Then ask ed her if she should come over the next day and Aurora declined, Don't worry mum. Its fine.
It's okay to cry and let pains out, but once those pains are out don't cry again. She added, don't force yourself into where you are not needed. Put yourself first, choose your peace first. Because been in a place where you are not needed can lead you to low self esteem and life time depression. Just think about what's best for you and do it.
Thank you so much mother. I will think about it and make sure am fine. Good night. I love you.
I love you too. Mrs Sarah replied. And they hanged up.
Aurora dozed off immediately her head touches the pillow with tears on her face.

The next morning, Alexander drove into the house. hastily comes down from the car and running upstairs. M r's Evelyn and other maids greeted him he ignored their greetings and asked. Where's Aurora? Where's she?.
