Tempting the Billionaire heir Chapter 25
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

ALEXA'S POV Making my way in the kitchen, I found no one insight to disturb me from making a meal. I hope Mr. Brown doesnt mind me spending dinner at his mansion, I don't want to go home to find Cody asking me about questions with the mission. I hummed a tune quietly while preparing ingredients for dinner while humming along, trying to calm myself. The song came to an abrupt end as the oven dinged. Grabbing my apron, I wiped my hands on it before wrapping it around me tightly and walked over to the oven with determination in my steps. The apron tied snug on my body. My cheeks flushed slightly as I stared at the tray of freshly baked casserole.I couldn't help feeling excited and nervous. It felt weird having an actual purpose other than being a decoration for your boyfriend's life and a punching bag for a manchild, I'm glad I get the opportunity to take some time for myself. Taking a few plates and utensils with me on a tray, I plate the casserole amd head upstairs. I quickly took

ALEXA'S POV "I didn't know you were home," Mr.Brown walks in the living room and looks between me and Nolan."Well, sir, I was thinking of spending my day-off here as my brother is out of town..." He gives a nod before speaking again,"I don't have my employees coming here to spend their day-off as I don't intend the mansion to be a vacantion house," Mr. Brown chuckles making me flustered."But I would like to ask if you'd like to join us out?" Mr.Brown asks, looking at Nolan knowingly."I'm going to pass on that, father... I am actually quite tired." Before Mr.Brown could even reply from his protest, Nolan walks off without another word.Mr.Brown turns to smile softly at me."I apologize on behalf of him, I'll leave him be, I just wanted to check if he's alright." I said apologetically with a small sigh and shake of my head.Mr. Brown gives me a tight nod before going clearing his throat."Then that leaves the two of us," I blush at the thought and opened my mouth to talk."Like a

ALEXA'S POV As we walked side by side through the halls to the next room, my mind is in panic on what to tell Anthony. I feel as though he already knows, but it's best to lie for now. If he already kmows the truth,then surely he isn't going to let a thief work for him.Mr.Brown seemed to sense my nervousness as he gently wrapped his arm around my arm, pulling me closer to his side. He wasn't taking advantage of the fact that I'm naked under a towel, I feel relieved knowing he wouldn't do anything to hurt me. "What are you thinking about?" He whispered in my ear, making goosebumps erupt all over my body. "Um nothing important..." I lied, attempting to act casual despite my shaky hands, and shaking knees.The corner of his mouth turned up at my attempt at sounding unconvincing."If you say so..." his smile slowly disappeared, as we continued off to the hotspring. I didn't bother opening my legs once we reached the hot springs, letting out a moan as the water surrounded me. I closed

ANTHONY'S POV They begin to apply lotions and body treatments on Alexa and massage her shoulders before taking out her hair clips. The whole time they both chat away at each other, Alexa occasionally responding with a small response while nodding her head. As soon as the female spa worker finished applying the lotion to Alexa, she left."So you like the spa, Miss? We haven't started yet!" The staff exclaimed excitedly."Yes, it's pretty nice. Thank you..." she replies as she stares at the door the spa staff had exited through, she was looking at the direction which the staff had exited through."Now for your massage, you have been complaining for quite awhile and I decided I needed to give you a massage since you are being so stiff during the massage. So relax! We're not hurting you!" The lady said enthusiastically as she begins to apply moisturising oil onto Alexa's hands before massaging them gently.Alexa closes her eyes as her face relaxed. She seemed to enjoy the massage and en

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.

"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 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.
