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

CHAPTER 71 Alexa finally mustered up the courage to talk to Anthony about Cody Nolan, her ex-boyfriend, and Kathy, who happens to be her friend. 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 72Anthony had an exhausting day at work, and he was looking forward to getting home. As soon as he landed on his couch after kicking off his shoes, his phone buzzed. It was a text message from Alexa that read, "Do you love me?"Confused by the abrupt question but sensing its importance, Anthony quickly responded back while gathering his thoughts. He has finished typing but he hesitated to click on the send button."I wouldn't tell you with words; let my actions speak for themselves," Anthony muttered to himself.Alexa wasn't sure what to make of Anthony's silence. She wondered if the question she asked offended him or if he was already asleep. Knock! Knock!Alexa heard someone knock. She found it somewhat cryptic and wondered if there was something more behind it than what meets the eye. Who would be knocking at her house at such an ungodly manner?Nonetheless, she couldn't ignore the person, she went to the door and asked who it was.Finding out it was Anthony, she immedia

CHAPTER 73As Alexa lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, she couldn't shake the memory of what had happened earlier that night. She had gone to the gym basement with Anthony, and they had ended up having sex. The passion between them had been intense, and she could still feel his hands on her body, his lips on hers.But now, as she lay alone in her room, she couldn't focus on sleeping. Her mind kept wandering back to Anthony and the way he had made her feel. She had never been with a man who had such a high sex drive, and it had left her feeling both exhilarated and exhausted.As the night wore on, Alexa couldn't help but think about the possibility of a relationship with Anthony. She knew it was probably just the post-sex hormones talking, but she couldn't help feeling drawn to him. Maybe they could have something more than just physical attraction.The next day, when she saw Anthony at the gym, she found it difficult to focus on her workout. Her mind kept wandering back to their n

CHAPTER 76The night was dark and quiet, and Anthony had been looking forward to coming home after a long day. He drove up to his house, parked his car, and made his way to the front door. As he reached out to turn the doorknob, he was surprised to find Alexa waiting for him there, looking worried and upset."Hey there, what's wrong?" Anthony asked, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder."Someone has broken into our home," Alexa replied, her voice trembling with fear. "One of the staff members left the gate open, and they stole some of our valuable items."Anthony's heart sank at the news. "What kind of items did they take?" he asked, his mind racing with possibilities."They took the diamond necklace you gave me on our anniversary, and some of our expensive electronics," Alexa replied, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't know what we're going to do."Anthony put his arm around her and pulled her close. "We'll figure it out," he said soothingly. "Let's call the police and see i

CHAPTER 77"I didn't know what was going on," she began, "I was just walking around the mansion checking if everything was in order. That's when I saw a figure run past me. They were carrying something, but I couldn't quite make it out."I listened intently as she continued. "At first, I thought it was a guest who was out of bounds, but then I realized that the person wasn't wearing any party attire."Taking a deep breath, she continued to explain how her instincts kicked in and she immediately ran after the person. "I caught up to them not too long after, they had already finished their act."I asked her to clarify what she meant by their 'act'. Alexa looked down at her hands before reluctantly saying that the person had stolen some valuable items from the mansion. She explained how she didn't get a good look at the items themselves, but she did catch a glimpse of the thief's face."I reported the break-in to the police right away, and when they arrived, I gave them all the informati

She gasped as she tried to call out to him but then, he didn’t even act like he knew her.She narrowed her gaze to his hands and she could see them tightly clenched.
