Chapter 35 A housekeeper who warms the Alpha's bed for money
35\. A housekeeper who warms the Alpha's bed for money
The lights have been turned off, the room left in full darkness as it overtook every freaking inch of it. Aurora now laid comfortably in bed with her still-dizzy head in the pillow.
She never let go of his head from her chest and those tender fingers never took a break from the job of stroking his scalp. He was asleep but she knew he was loving the message of her fragile fingers.
His soft respiration slapped warm breaths on her cleavage making her core squirm. Even though he was sleeping soundly, his body made her insides curl.
Aura lowered her mouth on his hair and pressed them lovingly. She hugged his head tighter now after she mistakenly touched his affected shoulder. It caused him to flinch in his state of slumber whereas she bit her lips in remorse.
Things were going so lovely between them in Cape Town. They were so happy. Days were always bright and the night skies were always starry. There was no gap for loopholes let alone for any night like this— one filled with tension and anxiety.
They were so happy back there. Wish it could remain the same. She wondered.
Aura squeezed her eyes tight as the last sentence from Damien came back to her sense and that specific name. Rosario Ferrari. She had known one guy of the same name in college.
Although she was poor, her intelligence got her a good placement in one of the best colleges of Manhattan and a scholarship. Rosario Ferrari was one of her classmates. He always topped the class and was always in the first line when it came to extra curricular activities.
They shared a nice bond too. But after the second year ended, he left the college in order to pursue the last year of graduation from an elite academy from abroad. At least that is what all of them heard after his leave.
Since then Aurora never heard about him from anyone. Her friend circle was limited to a few people, even then they gossiped a lot regarding others. But they never talked about him in their friends group online or anything related to him. He just disappeared without any trace confirming his existence but now this.
Aura sighed. She has not been feeling good lately. Damien's injury only added to her anxiety. Henceforth, she preferred to discard the thought.
'It is not necessary that he is the same Rosario from my college. He is gone for years now. It must be someone else. The world is big enough for many people to have the same names.' She wondered before snuggling closer to alpha Damien, and drifting off to sleep.
Indeed, the world is big enough for many people to have one and the same name or even personalities, nevertheless, sometimes the same world becomes too small and relationships too complicated.
Strangely something of the same sort was going to unfold in Aurora's life too.

When morning crept in, Aurora found the side of her bed empty. She undid her eyes fully and glanced at her side only to find a note.
She smiled picking it up but at the same time her face fell because the message he had left her was overwhelming.
'I am afraid I will not be there to see you when you wake up! My bad, huh. Have to deal with what I commenced the other day. Do not worry at all coz I am absolutely fine. My wound has closed completely. Thanks to your soothing embrace, love. You are my magical darling;) Please have your breakfast in time and attempt to call me if you can. Love you to the moon and back.
Your charming bae,
Damien. '
"What am I even going to do with you, Damien Hunter!" Having it read, she heaved as she settled in the bed comfortably.
She could imagine his expression with every word she read. His accent as well as smirks. Over these days since their proximity has increased, he has become too predictable with his actions.
Under her closed eyes Aurora envisioned his sea deep eyes. The depth of them along with the naughty glints she observes whenever he looks at her.
Her heart leapt at the thought of them until— she reread his note.
'Have to deal with what I commenced the other day.'
That very sentence hyped her up. She knitted her eyebrows together in worry as she immediately came out of the bed.
Almost tripping out of the room as Aurora came out, "Jane won the bet. Aurora was in Alpha's room as she claimed." She encountered a pair of her female co-workers.
"Good morning!" They ignored Aurora's greeting and walked away whilst talking among themselves, making sour faces before spinning around.
They had a basket with mop, basically they were on the cleaning job.
"She is such a slt. I still don't believe she indulged with the Alpha." One of them remarked rudely.
"Mind your tongue, Tasha. She might use it against you and complain about it to the Alpha since she warms his bed now. You would not want him to throw yourself out, would you?" The second one replied and whatever she uttered kicked through Aurora's heart.
"No way. I need this job. I have a family to feed, unlike her! But still... I am so amazed at her plotting. She trapped the Alpha himself."
"I couldn't agree more. Her future is secured lol! She's going to play with loads of money she has not seen in her entire life."
"I am jealous of her... At the same time I wish it was me. God, she is sleeping with THE ALPHA. Can you believe it?"
Their degrading conversation faded away along with their disappearing figures as they walked out of her sight.
Tears filled Aurora's eyes. She controlled them using deep breathing techniques. Her hand caressed her tummy as she tried not to think much about their words.
She was not warming his bed. They were in love and shared a bed like any normal couple in love would do.
The only difference was that they were not official yet. Their relationship was not announced yet.
As far as her co-workers were concerned about being instigated and complained upon... Aura would never do it. She considered them as her family from the time she came to this mansion.
Listening to insulting comments from them was hurtful but Aurora maintained her emotions. She had better business to look after. In fact, her tears quickly dried away when the thoughts of Damien crossed her mind.
"I need to go look for him. God, please escort me." With that she headed to her room.
Dressing herself in a loose full sleeved top and comfortable trousers, Aura put on a pair of flat slippers. Her hair was pulled in a high pony without using a comb whereas a gloss of his life coating her lips. Damien claimed the taste of it on her made her mouth even more delicious.
She collected her bag and was out of her room the next moment. Aura was near the exit when Madam Martha called her, stopping her for breakfast.
She refused her politely since she needed to go look for Damien. Yet she did not succeed for Madam Martha grasped her wrist forcibly and pulled her over to the big dining table for breakfast.
She was still attempting to decline from the morning meal but the old lady knew what cord to hit to make her stay, "It's not for you but for the baby." That instantly silenced Aurora and age settled in one of the soft platform chairs.
A glass of juice, an omelette with warm freshly baked garlic breads with a dry fruit salad were presented before her. "Be quick, sweetie. The faster you finish this the better." Aura heaved, reaching for the glass of juice first.
She dug in it real quick. Madam Martha was convinced with her eating speed. When she watched her dear daughter get up to leave, she grabbed her wrist, "I am aware of the fuss going on among the staff. Do not stress yourself coz of that."
"I... They all hate me now. They think I trapped him using myself as bait." With a sad smile, Aura pouted.
"Nobody hates you. And they are all jealous. All of them." Taking her soft hands, Madam Martha kissed her forehead. "Every girl dreams of him, but it's you who got to get him. Get his love. They are just pissed and jealous."
"I don't want them to be. I never intended to piss anyone."
"It is their fault, Aurora!" Madam Martha caught her shoulders and shook them lightly. "You don't have to please anyone except for Damien. He loves you, you love him... That's all that should matter to you now. And the baby."
Aurora gave her flat belly a stroke with a creeping smile. Only the baby mattered to her apart from Damien. Nobody else. Nobody would matter never.
Then finally she realized she was on a mission. Its thoughts gave her anxious ripples, "Shit! I need to go look for Damien, I forgot." She hurriedly left the chair and mounted her bag.
"Don't panic, be calm. And for God's sake, do not hurry." Aurora hesitantly chewed her mouth.
She was panicking too much lately which is not good for the baby. Thankfully she has a motherly figure to remind her otherwise Aura didn't know how she would have coped with this phase of pregnancy with so many predicaments threatening to turn her life upside down.
"I'll keep that in mind, Ma. I should take your leave now."
Announcing gladly, Aura advanced to the double-door exit where a car was waiting for her. Not just any random car or the one arranged for the servants to make use of! It was Alpha Damien's second car. His black Mercedes. The second favorite vehicle he was proud of.
"This is now yours. Damien wants you to have it." Surprise colored Aura's face in crimson.
This was his beloved car. Much more beloved than any expensive antique piece he possessed.
"I... I.. Can't... You are not serious, are you?"
"The driver will take you to him— in your car." Madam Martha gave her a side hug rather than a straight answer to her question as she took her to the Mercedes.
"Okay, thank you, Ma. I will try to be back soon. Bye." Aurora didn't take long to perceive it was indeed true.
He gifted her his second favorite car. Both of them were his after all! So what difference does it make if she had it? Simply Nothing.
"Take care, cupcake." Aurora's dark eyebrows arched together in hesitation when she observed Tasha and some other female coworkers staring down at her from a window on the first floor— with envy and pissed looks.
She was just a mere housekeeper like them until some days back... Now, she was sharing his valuable possessions with him while they stayed in the same old position.
Tbc...
