Tempting the Billionaire heir 76
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

CHAPTER 78Alexa stood quietly in the corner of the room, taking careful note of the proceedings taking place before her. Anthony, was pacing back and forth, barking out orders to the group of burly men gathered in front of him. She could see the sweat beading on his forehead as he spoke, his eyes flashing with intensity as he emphasized the importance of their duties.Taking a deep breath, Alexa pulled out her phone, her fingers moving deftly over the keys as she typed out a quick message to Cody."Hey, you'll never believe how many new security guys are being hired at the mansion. I'll send you a pic!" She smiled to herself as she pressed send, feeling a sense of satisfaction in her ability to gather information unnoticed.Continuing to watch the scene playing out in front of her, Alexa snapped a quick picture of the group of security personnel, careful to remain hidden as she did so. She could already imagine the look on Cody's face as he saw just how many men were being hired to m

CHAPTER 79(Alexa sat at her desk working on her computer when suddenly her phone buzzed. She picked it up to see a new message from Cody, one of her good friends. She felt her heart drop as she saw that Cody had sent her a picture of Anthony with a red cross over his face. Anthony was their friend from high school, and they had remained close even after all these years.Alexa quickly replied back to Cody, "What happened? Is Anthony okay?". She anxiously waited for Cody's response, her mind racing with all the possibilities of what could have happened to Anthony.Cody responded back, "I don't know, but we need to find out. Meet me at the park in an hour."Alexa quickly gathered her things, grabbed her keys and headed out the door. She knew that something was wrong and was determined to find out what it was.As she drove to the park her mind wouldn't stop racing. "What could have happened to Anthony? Was he hurt? Why would someone put a red cross over his face?" she thought to herself.

CHAPTER 80Alexa sat across from Nolan, who seemed lost in his own world, fiddling with his guitar. She cleared her throat, trying to get his attention."Hey Nolan," she began, hoping to start a conversation. "I noticed that you've been pretty quiet lately. Is everything okay?"Nolan shrugged his shoulders and continued playing the guitar, not making eye contact with Alexa. She tried again."We've spoken about how important it is to be connected with our families." She paused, allowing him to process her words. "Have you tried talking to your dad lately?"Nolan finally looked up, his expression emotionless. "No," he said simply."Why not? He's your dad, Nolan. He cares about you," Alexa emphasized, hoping to get through to him.Nolan shrugged his shoulders once again, as if the conversation didn't matter to him. "I don't know what to say to him," he mumbled."Well, why don't you start by asking him about his day? Show interest in his life," suggested Alexa, hoping to guide him in the

CHAPTER 81Alexa turned towards Nolan in bed and asked him a question she had been pondering for weeks now, "Nolan, can I ask you something?"Nolan turned to face her, half expecting a teasing remark or a joke. However, he saw that Alexa was looking at him intently with a serious expression on her face. "Sure, shoot," he said, returning her gaze."How did you find out that you had feelings for me?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.Nolan took a deep breath before answering. "To be honest, I don't really know," he said, "I just started feeling something intense whenever I saw you alone with Anthony."Alexa raised her eyebrows at this answer, "Intense?" she repeated.Nolan gave a small nod, "Yes, it was like something inside me was screaming that I should be the one in his place," he said, feeling disgusted with himself for these emotions.Alexa studied him for a moment before speaking, "Why should you be in Anthony's place?" she questioned.Nolan sighed heavily, "Because I ca

CHAPTER 82Alexa felt a mixture of surprise and fear. She pulled away, her heart racing and her mind spinning."What was that?" she stuttered.Nolan looked at her with a mixture of regret and longing. "I'm sorry," he said in a low voice. "I couldn't help myself. I've wanted to kiss you for so long now."Alexa shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. "But that's not the point," she said, her voice shaking. "I can't just forget everything and be with you. What about Anthony?"Nolan sighed. "I know," he said. "But I can't help the way I feel. And I think you feel it too, don't you?"Alexa looked away, unable to meet his gaze. She was torn between her loyalty to Anthony and her growing feelings for Nolan."I don't know," she admitted. "I thought I loved Anthony more than anything. But now I'm not so sure. I can't betray him like this."Nolan nodded understandingly. "I know it's complicated," he said. "But you have to follow your heart. And if that means being with me, then I'll do wh

CHAPTER 83 Anthony looked between Nolan and Alexa, taking a deep breath before speaking."I feel like I need to make things concrete for you, Nolan," Anthony said, his voice serious.Nolan furrowed his brow, clearly confused. "What are you talking about? Concrete about what?"Anthony took a moment to gather his thoughts before continuing. "I'm not getting any younger, Nolan. And I don't know how many years I have left. I need to make sure that you're prepared for the future, for when I'm no longer here."Nolan still looked confused, but a hint of frustration was starting to show on his face. "What does this have to do with me becoming an Architect? Why are you pushing me to do what you want?"Anthony sighed, rubbing his temples. "It's not about me wanting anything, Nolan. It's about me wanting to make sure that you're taken care of. Becoming an Architect is a great career, one that can provide for you and your future family. I just want what's best for you."Nolan shook his head. "An

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.

Alexa reassured him that she had been through a lot and could endure any amount of pain.Bobby teased Alexa about missing her routine of watching "Rockstar Cutie" on TV.

She took a moment to admire her growing belly and wondered what her baby would look like.After getting dressed, Alexa headed to the convenience store she managed.

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.
