Tempting the Billionaire heir Chapter 12
ALEXA’S POVI shut my eyes so tight ready to take the abuse from my boss. I waited patiently for some seconds to get butchered but nothing occurred. Slightly, I opened my left eye only to sight his hand hung in the air.“Forget it” he sighed.I was relieved.He threw the ceramic on the floor, slowly smashing it into bits while in tears. I didn’t try to act the good character but instead I stayed calm and watched him stop sobbing. Nolan was the kind of man who does not hide his emotions. The stereotype of men who cries or shows emotions has nothing to do with him. He would always feel whatever whenever.“Alexa, I ask that you take me seriously this time” he spoke calmlyHe continued “have you ever felt like you’re being controlled like a puppet?” “I feel like I am being domineering at the moment”I wondered what brought about the question. The look on his face clearly showed that he was sincerely asking.“Not really” I said bluntly, looking into his eyes trying to appear convincing.My

"Things will turn out better soon; your father is only looking out for you. There's no fuss about it all. You should consider taking things bit by bit and watch everything work out positively" she saidShe might have said something worth hearing but I wasn't moved. I was still discouraged. I have been putting up with my father's cold acts towards me since the day I made it known to him that I'd rather pursue my passion for music than take over his company. I doubt if he'd ever be less uptight with me if eventually I end up not taking the path he took"Lies. Alexa, you're saying this simply because you're being paid to." I pointed outNo one would ever speak ill of their employer unless he's ready to loose his job. The Alexa I know to some extent isn't financially stable, she'd do anything to keep her job."This isn't lies. You can actually be both of the same worlds if you wish to"She watched me closely like she was putting me under a spell. Alexa would say anything to prove her poi

ALEXA'S POV It had been an eventful day yesterday. Thankfully, I had heard Mr. Brown let Nolan go out with his friends for the rest of the afternoon. The man was a bit of a recluse, and the last thing we needed right now was another teenage brain recking the whole mansion with its tantrum. I couldn't help but look back at how Nolan had reacted yesterday, his eyes flashed a hint of sadness in them that sought out empathy in me. When the afternoon finally rolled around, Mr. Brown calls me up to his office. "Sir, you called?" I stood at the foot of his office, nervously waiting at his open door.He waved me in and shut the door. I had never actually sat down on one of the plush couches in front of his desk before and was finding it rather awkward. He was standing behind his desk, hands clasped together and elbows resting on top. I tried my best not to be too intimidated. "How are you today?"Mr. Brown gave a slight smile, looking at me with a speck of worry in his eyes. A few white

ALEXA'S POV As Mr. Brown gives me a nod, I gesture him at the front of the stove where I was working. The kitchen staff watched closely as he observed while I teach him what to do."So you want to just season the meat evenly and generously, like so-" I showed him and move aside to let him do the rest. I took a wooden spatula to help stir what I had in my pot, I couldn't help but feel him staring at me."What's your favorite thing to cook?" He suddenly asked as I continued stirring the soup inside of the pot."Hm? What do you mean?" I question."Anything specific?" I look over my shoulder at him."I guess... I like pasta, rice, and some other dishes." He hummed before nodding."Oh ok… And?" He continued on questioning me."Um.. I love pancakes and omelets…""Pancakes?" He asked again."Yes. When the orphanage went bankrupt, Cody brought me pancakes from a local bakery,""Who's Cody?" I felt my blood run cold and I kept my gaze on the pot I was stirring ."My brother..." I mumbled qui

NOLAN'S POV I held myself from speaking as Kathy's words rang through my ears. I looked at Alexa who seemed fairly annoyed to see my girlfriend."Babe, you didn't tell me you're dad hired a whore..." Kathy says, giggling as she goes.Alexa's face hardened at her statement, she narrowed her eyes at Kathy as anger boiled beneath her skin."Babe, I bet I could get this bitch fired if she gets caught by your dad hurting me," Kathy whispers to my ear making me smirk.Despite the fact Alexa and I had nothing wrong going on between us, I don't feel obligated to open my self with my father's employee. She may be nice, but I would rather have my own way around my life."I wonder how you got your job, Alexa... It must've been a real mouthful when it came in the interviewing part," Kathy says, gesturing her hand in her mouth while she made an O in her mouth, making chuckle and roll my eyes at her.Alexa didn't bother to speak or give her any reaction other than to look annoyed at her."Unbother

ALEXA'S POV Standing in front of both of them, I was shocked that Nolan had stopped Kathy's hand from hitting me. His hand held her wrist so tight you couldn't imagine the look of surprise Kathy has. "Nolan, what the hell!" Kathy exclaims, taking her hand abruptly from his hold."I've told you to back off, Kathy... I knew you'd be going off course-" Nolan was cut off when Kathy spoke up, "You're being such a limp-dick!-" "Come up with a better comeback, then you can argue with me..." I step back from them, not wanting to be in their fight knowing Kathy started it all."So you're on her side now?" Kathy hissed at him. A few footsteps came over to us from behind me, I turned and saw Mr. Brown tucking his phone away to join us."Ah, Nolan. Good evening, Kath." Mr. Brown greets both of them with a smile but Nolan immediately left to the dinner table before he could say another word. "Would you like to join us, dear?" Mr. Brown looks towards Kathy who seemed visibly angry. "No thank

ALEXA'S POVI laid in bed wondering what led to Nolan's actions. He seemed all over the place that for a moment I thought he was actually on my side. Why would he stop Kathy from hitting me?If anything that's just like him, but what caused him to do it? There were a multitude of possibilities and many reasons, but somehow, I was sure the reason why he pushed her away was because he's scared I'd hurt her as well. After seeing how close she was to slapping me right then I thought to myself, why would he care for someone like me getting hurt?But why wouldn't he let his father get in the way, as to get me in touble... I mean, this is Nolan we're talking about... Who would have predicted that he wouldn't act this way? Sighing deeply, I turn to my side and open the drawer of the night stand. Taking out my phone, I didn't expect dozens of text messages from Jade herself. She has been out of it for days end, working herself out to provide for her and David. I wonder how they are.Popping

ALEXA'S POV I jumped back to my feet in embarrassment when Kathy walks in amused. Kathy looks over at Nolan who was surprised as well while trying to avoid his gaze from me."I don't wanna be the killjoy, but would you mind leaving us alone?" Kathy asks as she emphasizes on the last word.I nodded my head quietly, still feeling regret for what I did in the room. Walking outside of Nolan's bedroom, I was surprised when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, she flashes me her fakest smile."Hi, Alexa, is it?" Kathy asks, evidently trying to compose herself."Listen, I know you're just doing your job... But you should know better than to go too far with doing extra work, you get me?" She remarks, squinting her eyes at me as she gives me a sarcastic look."I don't know what had gotten into your tiny brain, but if I were you... I would back off before you lose your job for being such a slut," Kathy hisses, turning back around and shutting the door behind her.I was shocked to say

Alexa didn't hesitate to run into them, embracing him tightly as she buried her face in his shoulder. Nolan's arms wrapped around her just as tightly, holding her close as they both cried.It felt like they stayed that way for an eternity, just holding each other and letting out all the emotions they had been bottling up for so long. When they finally pulled away, Alexa looked up at Nolan, still unable to believe he was really there.Without a word, Nolan leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, the kiss filled with all the love and longing they had been keeping hidden for so long.

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. She was minding her own business, eating her meal when the girl came up to her chuckling. The girl pulled out a banner of Nol

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 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.

CHAPTER 156Alexa looked at Bobby and thanked him for volunteering to take care of her son. She couldn't afford a full-time nanny, so she was grateful for Bobby's help. Bobby smiled at Alexa and told her that he understood her need to save money for her newborn. 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. It was a punk version of "Grow Old Wit

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.

Seeing the numerous messages from her colleagues, now ex co workers questioning her about her choice of resignation broke her and she couldn’t help but clench her fists. How was she supposed to explain to them?

CHAPTER 153She said few words before sighing and then taking her bags out. She stepped out of the gates and on turning for the last time, she saw Nolan midway at the mansion’s door. 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. She took a deep sigh as she watched him step back before turning away and then walking back into the house. This time, the tears could no longer be held back in her eyes and she turned away before walking out of the gate, finally.She dragged her suitcase on the road as she couldn’t think of anything else but what had just happened.

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. She smiled slightly as she stared into his eyes, h
