CHAPTER 91 Nolan stood there in silence, his heart heavy with confusion and pain at Alexa's harsh words. He didn't know how to react or what to say, but he knew he had to get out of her room. As he turned to leave, Alexa yelled after him, her voice filled with frustration and hurt."Say something, Nolan! Don't just walk away like this!"Nolan paused, his hand on the doorknob. He turned back to face Alexa but still remained silent. They both stood there for a moment, the tension in the air thick enough to cut with a knife. Finally, Alexa let out a deep sigh and sat down on the floor, her arms wrapped around her knees.Nolan slowly made his way back towards her, his heart in his throat. "Alexa, I'm sorry," he said. "I'm such a coward for treating you like garbage and letting my ex insult and belittle you. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I want to make things right."Alexa looked up at him, her eyes full of emotion. She didn't say anything, but the way she looked at Nolan was eno

CHAPTER 92Alexa felt uncomfortable and quickly walked away, ignoring Nolan's attempt to strike up a conversation. As she went to the kitchen to continue her work, she saw Anthony walking in, his face tired and stressed."Hey Alexa, are you able to come to my room for a moment?" Anthony asked her."Of course, what do you need?" Alexa replied.Anthony led her to his room and sat down on the bed, motioning for Alexa to sit next to him. As she sat down, Anthony pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her. Alexa felt his tension ease as he held her, and she couldn't help but feel slight tingles in her body."You make me feel so calm and relaxed, Alexa. Thank you for being here for me," Anthony said.Alexa smiled, but in her mind, she couldn't stop thinking about how she was feeling towards Anthony. She was already in a relationship with Cody, and she couldn't help but feel guilty for developing feelings for Anthony. At the same time, Nolan was starting to become more aggressive in h

CHAPTER 93Nolan then invited Alexa into his room, and they sat down to talk. Nolan asked Alexa what her answer was, but she stayed quiet. He assured her that he understood she needed time to think things over. He then asked her what he could do to make things right between them.Alexa was at a loss for what to say, but then Nolan reminded her of a conversation they had months ago. He had asked her if he changed to become someone his father would approve of, would she still like him and be her type. Alexa remembered the conversation, and it caused her to blush.Nolan then opened a drawer containing his collection of sketchbooks and pulled out a folder containing one of his class projects. Alexa recognized it as a copy of the painting he had made of her during their afternoon sketch session. He then showed her another sketch that he had done after Alexa had left that day when Kathy arrived. The sketches and painting were breathtaking, and Alexa couldn't take her eyes off them.As she

CHAPTER 94Nolan could feel his face turning red as he sheepishly admitted, "It's about you, Alexa."Alexa's mouth dropped in surprise, "Really? That's so sweet, Nolan. I had no idea."Nolan looked at Alexa, his eyes full of emotion, "You're my inspiration, Alexa. You inspire me to be the best version of myself. And I want the world to know how special you are to me."Alexa's heart was glowing with warmth as she looked at Nolan. "Thank you, Nolan. That means more to me than you know."Nolan turned to Alexa, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Hey Alexa, do you want to hear me play a song?"Alexa grinned, "Yes, of course! I'm excited!"Nolan picked up his acoustic guitar and started strumming. He closed his eyes and began singing in his deep, sweet voice. Alexa listened intently, taking in every note and every word.As Nolan sang, Alexa couldn't help but notice the way his voice sounded. It was smooth and silky, and it gave her goosebumps. It was a feeling that she couldn't quite descr

CHAPTER 95"Well, since you're offering, you can start by washing the dishes," Alexa said with a teasing smile.Nolan laughed nervously. "Sure, no problem." He made his way to the sink, but as he stood there staring at the pile of dirty dishes, he suddenly felt overwhelmed. He had never washed dishes before and had no idea where to start.Without hesitation, Alexa approached Nolan and began showing him the proper way to wash the dishes. Alexa showed him how to fill the sink with hot water, add soap, and use a sponge to scrub the dishes clean. As they worked, Nolan and Alexa started chatting about their interests and hobbies."So what did you do on your day off, Alexa?" Nolan asked curiously.Alexa hesitated for a moment, not wanting to reveal the truth about her lazy day spent binge-watching TV shows. "Oh, you know, just ran some errands, went for a jog," she lied smoothly.As they continued working, the timer on the oven went off, signaling that their dinner was ready. With excitemen

CHAPTER 96Anthony walked in, looking for Nolan and Alexa. "What is going on here?" he demanded. His eyes fell upon Nolan's bandaged hands, and he immediately began to scold the staff in the room for letting his son get hurt.One of the female cooks tried to speak up, but Anthony didn't let them. He continued to yell at them, blaming them for Nolan's injury. Nolan couldn't take it anymore, and he yelled back at his father. "It was no one's fault, Dad," he explained. "I did it voluntarily out of kindness."Anthony wasn't impressed. "You're stupid for trying to help around when you can't even take care of yourself," he scolded. Alexa was about to speak up for Nolan when Nolan cut her off. "Maybe I got that from you, you couldn't do anything when Mom was dying," he retorted.The sound of silence filled the kitchen as Anthony stood, mouth agape, at a loss for words. Alexa's eyes widened in shock as she turned towards Nolan, who was breathing heavily, his eyes staring daggers into his fath

CHAPTER 97But Alexa, knowing that the servants would judge her if she sat with the guests, replied, "I think I'll just stay here. I'd rather eat with the staff."Anthony saw the hesitation in her eyes, and was frustrated that she didn't want to spend time with him. "At least sit with me then," he said.As Alexa reluctantly took her seat, Anthony brought up the 20th anniversary celebration for Brown Construction Inc. "Hey Alexa, would you like to be my date for the event?" he asked.Alexa was speechless yet again. And after a moment, she replied, "I'll have to think about it, Anthony." She knew that she wouldn't be able to refuse his request, but she just needed a moment to gather her thoughts.Anthony noticed Alexa staring at something and asked, "Is everything alright? Do you need anything else?"Alexa shook her head and replied, "No, everything's fine. I just saw someone I knew, but he didn't seem to recognize me."Anthony raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who was it?""It's Cody," Ale

CHAPTER 98Cody quickly replied, "Great! I'm glad it went well. Listen, we need to meet up and go over the plan soon."Alexa sighed, feeling a sense of dread wash over her. She knew she couldn't avoid Cody forever. "Sure, when do you want to meet?""How about tonight?" Cody replied. "We can go over the plan and make sure everything's in place. Meet me at the usual spot at 8 PM."Alexa didn't want to go, but she knew she had to. She didn't want to let Cody down, but she also didn't want to get caught up in something illegal. However, before she could respond, her phone rang. It was Anthony."Hey beautiful," Anthony said on the other end. "How was shopping?"Alexa felt guilty for thinking about selling the clothes Anthony had bought her. "It was good. I got everything I needed," she lied."That's great. Listen, I'm going to be busy with work for the next few days, so I won't be able to see you. But I wanted to make sure you're taken care of. Did you need anything else?"Alexa felt a twi

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. She was so caught up in the melody that she didn't even realize she was humming along with it until she stepped out and heard herself in the silence.Alexa spent the whole day at school with Nolan's song stuck in her head. She couldn't focus on anything else, not even the lessons, and found herself humming the tune whenever she had the chance to, without even noticing it.As the week passed by, Alexa was approached by a girl at break time.

In the meantime, she had been busy raising her son, who bore a striking resemblance to Nolan.As Alexa kissed her son goodbye and turned to Jade, she couldn't help but feel grateful for her help. Jade had moved in with her to help pay the rent, and they had been taking turns caring for their children while working. Jade was currently calming down her daughter, who was having a tantrum."Thank you so much for helping me, Jade," Alexa said with a smile. "I don't know how I would have managed without you."Jade laughed and replied, "Don't be silly, Lex. We're like family now. I love your son like my own, and I don't mind helping you out at all."Alexa felt a sense of relief wash over her as she hugged Jade. It was comforting to know that she had someone she could rely on.

He was surprised that she had just been discharged from the hospital a month ago and was already back to work. 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. Alexa laughed and said she didn't have time for that anymore. After bidding farewell to Bobby, Alexa locked the back door and went to the counter where the TV was on. She switched the sign to "closed" as she knew there wouldn't be any customers at midnight.As the live performance was announced by the talk show host, Alexa smiled as she watched Nolan sing the same song he sang to her while they ate in the garden.

CHAPTER 155Alexa woke up to the sound of the roosters crowing outside her window. She stretched and yawned, feeling the weight of her baby bump as she got out of bed. She walked to the bathroom, splashed her face with water, and brushed her teeth. 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 unlocked the doors, turned on the lights, and started organizing the shelves. Her staff came in one by one, and they greeted her with smiles and hellos."Good morning, Lexie," one of her staff members said."Good morning," Alexa replied with a smile.Alexa loved her job.

He clenched his fists as he started to walk away from her but then she rushed to him as she held on to his coat, “just listen to me Nolan, please.” She told him. He shook his head as he sighed, “I don’t want to listen to whatever you have to say, Alexa. Leave me alone, please” he told her but she wouldn’t listen. She was already choking from the tears and her head ached her badly but she ignored it, every single pain she felt.“I swear I wanted to call it off but then…” before she could complete her statement, he put his hands to her lips and she stopped talking.
