Chapter 7 - Walking Away

The maids replied.. Sir she's inside the master's bedroom still asleep. 

 Alexander hurriedly went to their room and shut the doors behind him then he saw Aurora still sleeping and tears from last night has dried up from her face.

 He woke her but she wasn't waking, why isn't she waking he thought within himself. He finally shakes her very well and she woke up. 

 Then he he said,, Aurora you need to sign those papers immediately. The divorce papers on the shelves. He said pointing towards it. 

 Please Alexander give me more time to think. Aurora pleased. 

 Well the only more time to think is between now and when I return from work. If I return from and the papers are not yet signed, hell will let loose. He added and made into the toilet to have his bath and dress for work. 

 Aurora sat on the bed and begins to reflect on old memories, of how she met Alexander. 

 She was six years old while he was ten. 

 Her father took her to attend Alexander's father birthday party. 

 She was pressed and needed to use the bathroom. Alexander's dad asked Alexander to accompany her so that she won't get lost in the crowds or miss her way. 

 While she was in the bathroom, Alexander stood by the door, not letting any older women go in. He kept telling them someone was in there. 

 And when Aurora finally came outside the women burst into laughter. They had thought it was Alexander's mother that's in the toilet. 

 Awwwwn such a sweet romantic lover boy at a very tender age. One of the women said. 

 Alexander held Aurora's hand as they walk away. 

 And that was how Aurora started having feelings for Alexander. 

 She always made sure she persuade her father to take her to any school Alexander is attending, just to be around him. 

 And they ended up been graduating from the same university. 

 And here they are today, He is seriously filling for a divorce. She has done a big great job in chasing Alexander. And if he can't chase back or love back then its the end line. 

 She rubbed her belly and said to herself, now she needs to be there for herself and her unborn child. 

 She stood up carried her box and begins to pack her cloths from the wardrobe. 

 She took another bag packed other items until everything was in. 

 She went towards the shelve, pick up the divorce paper and read thoroughly. She smiled and carried a pen close by, she signed on it. pick up her bags and left. 

 She got downstairs and the maids watch her leave with sad faces. Only Mrs Evelyn the senior maid was bold enough to approach her. 

 Ma'am where are you going? Can we help you with your bags? She said politely. 

 No, Don't worry. I'm not coming back here. Even though you act like you don't know what's happening, i'm very sure you are aware of what has been happening in this House. Aurora said. 

 Yes ma'am, I am aware of what's going on but I swore an oath while taking this job to mind my business and keep things confidential. 

 And you did a very great job. Aurora complimented her. 

 Thank you ma, Mrs Evelyn added. I'm so sorry about what happened, you will be fine ma. Take care of yourself. 

 Take care of yourself too. Aurora said and went outside the gate. 

 *****

 Alexander came back home so tired and noticed the room is kind of scanty. As his voice echoed too. 

 He scanned his eyes and noticed there's none of Aurora's belongings in the room. 

 He opened the wardrobe and all her cloths were not there. 

 Has she signed the papers? He asked himself, then made his way to the divorce paper on the shelve. 

 He opened it and she has signed it. Then a small piece of paper attached to the divorce paper fell on the floor. he could recognized Aurora's handwriting on it. 

 He bend down and picked the paper. It reads 

 "Dear Alexander "...
