Tempting the Billionaire heir Chapter 14
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'S POV Sometimes, I wonder where on earth Nolan found the nerve to insult everyone who didn't do anything wrong with him. And the fact he does it when people aren't trying to pick a fight with him, it makes me mad.He's a jerk to everybody, except his father. I can't deny I've thought about going up to him and punching him in the face. But it never seemed appropriate in public especially when everyone was staring at me and waiting on me to say something.I lay in bed trying to push aside the event, taking my phone out of the drawer again to chat up with Jade."heyyyy! i'm back!!! im sorry i haven't been answering your messages, i haven't been well recently :(" I read to myself before replying. "What happened? :o" I giggled at my silly emoji before sending."nothing much just had my first serious fight with David... Wish you were here so we could make fun about it :((( .""what?! :O i feel so bad :( " My heart hurts just hearing her cry."no no it's fine, trust me, I'll surviv

Chapter 21 (1043)ALEXA’S POVAs I watch Nolan walking inside my room, he fixes his gaze on the ground. I can't stop myself from rolling my eyes at him."What do you want? Come to taunt me some more or do you just wanna stare at me like an animal? I'd appreciate both but come on, give it a rest," I snap at Nolan, causing him to look up.He quickly looks around the room before turning back towards me. His gaze immediately locks onto mine as he approaches me."Hey, don't talk to me like that...." he whispers before sitting on the edge of my bed."You're lucky I won't punch you, or else your mouth will be filled with a lot worse than a few cuts and bruises. Don't worry though, I'll make sure your dad doesn't punish you this time for talking shit." I glare at him."Jesus, I'm mot here to pick a fight with you!" He exclaimed, holding his hands up to show me he didn't mean any harm."Don't lie to me, your face just screamed 'you're lying'." I glared as I cross my arms, keeping eye contact w

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.

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.

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.

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.
