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

ALEXA'S POV "Are you fucking insane?"I threw the pillow I held in my hand that immediately hit his face. He groaned in frustration as he put the pillow down on the floor.He stared back at me with all seriousness, unmoving from his position. I could feel my anger rising at this boy's audacity to go out of line with me."Nolan, I will say this once and I will not say it again. Get. The fuck. Out of my room..." I yelled as I stood up from where I was positioned before and glared at him. I waited expectantly but to no vail, Nolan sat still in his seat. This boy is getting on my nerves, I could tell why he and his girlfriend get along."Nolan, so you know how outstandingly creepy you are right now?" I sighed as I brought both my hands through my hair as I sighed in frustration."You know this could've been started and dealt with if you aren't talking so much," Nolan retorts, fiddling his pencil at me and looking bored."You're acting all hyped up for nothing, I know why you're making y

ALEXA'S POV The morning that followed, I was surprised to find a message from Mr. Brown. "I'll be coming home late than usual, don't let Nolan out of the house unless I say so," I rolled my eyes at the thought that Nolan would care less what Mr. Brown says.As much as I wanted to, I decided that I'd let Nolan have a little space to cool off, I don't wanna hurt him.After I'd gotten ready I made my way downstairs after checking the time, I noticed that everyone seemed very excited about something happening tonight. I could tell they were anticipating what this event will bring about.We decided to have breakfast first. I know how busy people get with work, especially since my shifts started. The staff members were exchanging each other's plans for their day off, everyone had their own schedules inlined so it won't cause any problems in maintaining the mansion. After a while, everybody arrived and I quickly spotted them in the kitchen. They were chatting amongst themselves, talking a

ALEXA'S POV I huffed out of exhaustion as I pushed Nolan's wardrobe to the opposite side of his room. I wasn't expecting that I would have to eat my words in cases like these, but I have to make a point that I am not a person to put down exceptions unless told so. If he wants to be bossy and demanding then fine, but I'll never agree just because he said so!It didn't help that I'm the only one to clean after him, there really isn't anyone else to share responsibilities. My job is to clean up the mess he's left in his bedroom, but that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy it, I suppose. I couldn't deny that the fact that I was able to do all the work makes me happy to say the least. I love cleaning after others, and it was just another way to make a point that he should not be bossing me around!Once I finished pushing the wardrobe over, I walked over to his bed to grab the book I'd been reading, as I lay back on it and read, I heard someone knock on my door."Come in," I called out lazil

ALEXA'S POV "Sir?" I stood infront of Mr.Brown as he settles on the sofa with a glass of whiskey in hand."Could you prepare my an early dinner? Half of the kitchen staff members are taking their rest while I wouldn't want to bother the others." He rotated his head around as he cracked a few of unstretched muscles. He seemed awfully tired, what time has he woken up?"Of course, sir." Making my way to the kitchen, I mouthed to the others that Mr.Brown came home early than usual.Preparing a heavy meal, I sat on top of the counter as I waited a few minutes until the food is cooked."Alexa, Mr.Brown asks if the food is done," Mr.Gilbert, the house butler, asks as he taps my knee that was closer to him."Tell him it'll be done within 20, I'll bring it up to him once it's cooked." he gave me a nod before leaving to tell him. I went to work preparing everything that Mr.Brown likes. As I worked, my mind drifted to the day I started working here.The day I started working for Mr.Brown was s

ALEXA'S POVWaking up first thing in the morning, I quickly made my way to the bathroom and prepared myself for my day-off. Washing my face and brushing my teeth, I dried my hair using the towel hanging on the rack then wrapped my hair in a bun and applied some light baby powder on my face to cover up any marks on my skin that will show me being a mess today. Putting on a dark shirt and black jeans, I slipped on my old chucks then my sling bag that held my thick wallet that had the stolen money and left my room as I made my way downstairs."Goodmorning, Mr. Brown!" I greeted him at the living room where he and Nolan sat infront of the large flatscreen tv. "Where are you going?" Nolan scoffs, looking at me, judgingly."None of your business.""She's taking a day-off, Nolan. I'll be keeping an eye on you for the rest of the time she is gone," Mr. Brown says, making Nolan's smirk fade."Have a good day, Alexa!" I hear Mr.Brown call out as I bid my farewell to both of them.Walking out t

ALEXA'S POV I turned to the employee and blushed as I was taking up the small path to the next shelves. "Sorry," I mumbled as I put the book back in its shelf and went to the clothes rack to buy a few items.I took a few tops and bottom, then made my way to the counter to see the same employee."The book you held a while ago was from an old orphanage home, alot of people take that book with them but only to come back weeks later to tell me they don't want it," I chuckled along with the man and took my stuff to leave."Don't worry, they say it's a scandalous book. It's not cursed," I awkwardly nodded to him and left. I didn't need that kind of interaction, let alone the information I didn't ask for. I rolled my eyes at the event and made my way to a pub. I felt relieved that I had some time for myself for a change, away from Nolan and his crazy demands. But I couldn't help but feel out of place whenever Jade brings up about Cody. "Ma'am, leave your shopping bags here," A large bal

ALEXA'S POV My eyes widen as I see Kathy standing before the old man who lie unconscious . She held a taser in hand and looked at me."Hmm, now I see why he attacked..." Kathy turns off her tazer before tucking it inside her bag.After getting questioned by the police by the booth, the man was cuffed and out of the door immediately.Kathy stayed and waited even after being questioned."Why did he bother attacking me?" I asked her. "I am a complete stranger to him.""Probably because you're a woman," Kathy smiles sheepishly at me, rubbing the nape of her neck as she looked everywhere but my face. "He seemed quite upset when we first spoke. And I noticed that he was checking you out after I rejected him. Maybe he saw something and thought he could take advantage of it."I spot Sherby waving at me as she was faced with her boss and was frantically talking to him. "That makes sense," I shrugged my shoulders before turning to her and seeing her leaving me behind. "Kathy, wait! Thank you

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
