CHAPTER 64Alexa sat on the couch in Cody's living room, idly flipping through TV channels while Cody paced around the room, muttering to himself. He had been like this ever since Jade had brought up Anthony Brown, and it was starting to get on Alexa's nerves.Finally, unable to take it anymore, she turned to him and asked, "What's going on with you, Cody? You've been acting weird for days now."Cody paused in his pacing and glared at her. "What do you mean, acting weird? I'm fine.""You're clearly not fine," Alexa countered. "You've been pacing around and muttering to yourself. Is it because of what Jade said about Anthony Brown?"Cody's face darkened. "Yeah, it is. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm glad I didn't choose Jade to take on that job."Alexa raised an eyebrow. "Why's that? You seemed pretty impressed with her skills.""I was," Cody admitted. "But now I'm starting to think she's not as trustworthy as I thought she was. I mean, she's practically drooling over Anthony Brown

CHAPTER 65As Alexa started her first day back at work, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Anthony's behavior towards her was extremely strange and it was clear that he was upset with her. Nolan, on the other hand, was being downright rude and ignoring her completely. Alexa tried her best to push those thoughts aside and focus on her work.As she walked through the mansion, she noticed that the housekeeping staff was acting like everything was normal, but she could sense that they were also aware of the tension in the air. They tried their best to keep the house in order, hoping that if they could bring a smile to Anthony's face, he might come in with a positive attitude towards Alexa.However, as the day went on, Anthony didn't seem to be getting any better. He was distant and unapproachable, even to the point where he left for work earlier than usual. It was as if he wanted to avoid Alexa altogether.Feeling defeated and unsure of what to do, Alexa decided to confront Nolan about th

CHAPTER 66My heart was pounding, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, Anthony just confessed his feelings for me.. He wasn’t going to fire me. Without thinking, I moved closer to him and locked my lips to his. He was kissing me back passionately. I felt his arms wrap around me, pulling me in as close as he could. It was like nothing else mattered in that moment.I broke the kiss, and I looked into his eyes. They were filled with desire and longing, and I knew that he wanted me just as much as I wanted him.“Do you accept my confession” he asked softly, I giggled not know what to sayHe kissed me again this time softly, I felt a jolt of electricity run through my entire body. I closed my eyes and surrendered to the sensation of his warm, tender embrace. Our mouths moved in perfect sync, his tongue exploring my mouth as my own met his in a passionate dance.The sensation was overwhelming, and I found myself losing all sense of time and space. All that existed was him, and me, and th

CHAPTER 67I woke up to an empty bed, the sheets rumpled from the previous night's passion. Anthony must have left early to avoid the maids finding out we had spent the night together. I stretched my limbs and smiled at the thought, reliving the heat of our lovemaking in my mind. I couldn’t believe I just had sex with my bossThe warm sun was shining through the window, and I could hear the birds chirping outside. I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. The hot water cascaded down my body, washing away the last remnants of sleep. I felt refreshed and energized as I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body.I was conflicted on what to wear. If I dressed up Nolan would only make fun of me and say I was trying to seduce him. But I wanted my boss Anthony to see me looking prim before he left for work. I hurriedly put on some shorts and tank top, I wasn’t going to allow Nolan to get to me, not today.After applying some blush and lip gloss, I hea

CHAPTER 68ANTHONY’S POVI sat in my study distracting myself with work. I was looking over a layout for the recent contract we signed for an amusement park when I heard the knock on the door.“Come in I intoned”Alexa walks in. She looked so hot in whatever she wore. She didn’t even understand the effect she had on me. “Anthony, we need to find Nolan, It’s been two days.”I felt a sharp pain in his chest at the mention of Nolan’s name.I'm sorry, Alexa, but I can't help you. Nolan is an adult, and he can take care of himself. Besides, he probably doesn't want to be found."Alexa's face fell, and she looked at him incredulously. "How can you say that? He's your son, Anthony. He needs your help.""I know he's my son, but he's also a grown man. He's made his choices, and he has to live with the consequences. I can't keep bailing him out every time he messes up."Alexa shook her head, clearly frustrated. "But this isn't about bailing him out. This is about making sure he's safe. Don't y

She looked over at him and felt a rush of emotions from the night before after they had watched a movie and drank wine together.As she got out of bed and started to get dressed, Alexa couldn't help but feel happy about what had happened between them.

CHAPTER 70As they stroll through the mall, Alexa's gaze wanders around the opulent surroundings. She notices that Anthony steered towards an elaborate fashion store and feels her heart pounding harder in her chest."I'm not sure if this is a good idea," she whispers, looking up at him with deep concern etched on her face."Don't be anxious about it, Alexa," he replied confidently. "It's just clothing."She takes his words as assurance and begins to browse through their collection somewhat more relaxed than before. As anxiety fades away into oblivion, anticipation kicks in - after all, she’d love to look really gorgeous tonight.While walking past a broad glass window showing off mannequins draped in stunning dresses of various hues and style; each shining bright on lifeless figures under artificial lighting conditions; an unexpected sight captures Alexa’s attention from outside.“Kathy? What was Kathy doing here?”Alexa asked herself, hot footing out of the boutique, to meet her.Ka

As she spoke of betrayal by someone close to her on two fronts over a cup of coffee at a quaint cafe nearby, tears rolled down from eyes uncontrollably."Why would they do this to me?" Alexa sniffled as she clutched onto a tissue box placed on the table.Anthony leaned in and took one of Alexa's hands in his while maintaining eye contact with a comforting smile painted across his face. "Hey now, it's going to be alright," he said gently. "You're too awesome for them anyways."Alexa giggled softly despite herself. It was impossible not to feel better around Anthony - he just had that effect on people.Later after picking out an outfit from the store where they were nestled; Alexis with shopping bags walked alongside Anthony towards a fitting room."Let me try this outfit-on inside…”They quickly left the boutique behind without any further ad

CHAPTER 158Alexa woke up to the sound of Nolan's voice singing his latest song, "Echoes of You". She smiled and pressed play again, letting the melody fill her ears. She couldn't help but hum along with the chorus, "You're the echoes of me, the echoes of you, and I'm lost in between, what's false and what's true."As she got ready for her day, Alexa continued to listen to the song on repeat, even while she was in the shower.
