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
ALEXA'S POV Relieved as we were parked in his garage, we both walked out of the car and got inside the mansion. I thought for a moment he actually knew about Cody's plans, it turns out he had me investigated. I am hoping he wont do anything to have my ass on the line, god knows how he will react if he finds out? Walking inside the living room, I stop in my tracks to find Nolan waiting by the sofa. I slip out my phone to find it had already been pass 4 am . "Nolan, what are you doing up at 4 am?""Don't fucking play dumb with me, slut!" Nolan yells, Mr.Brown came walking up behind me and was surprised to find Nolan at the living room."Care to explain why it took you up till 4 am to get home?" "Nolan, stop playing game-" " You are threatening me to stay at home. To hiring a body guard if I don't keep myself locked up in this cage!" Nolan screamed, I was frightened to say the least."Nolan, stop acting like this-" I tried to speak but Nolan threw a pillow at me."Did I tell you to
ALEXA'S POV After packing the lunch in a small container, I carefully put it inside an insulated bag. My heart skipped a bit as I reread the message he sent, "Make me some lucn for the two of us. See you later." I felt a wave of heat rush on my cheeks as I thought of his voice saying those words. Shaling my head to focus, I zip up the bag and went outside when the driver was waiting for me. As I got into the backseat with my food, a few drops of perspiration started trailing down my brow and neck, which made me shiver in disgust. My hands shook and my stomach felt queasy. Even though they were covered with gloves, I wiped them off on my pants and then rubbed the sweat away with my shirt. I looked over at the driver, who was looking straight forward, pretending to not notice me wiping sweat off my face. My heart sped up even more as fear took hold of me. The thought of having to talk to him after our argument made my heart race faster. What if he hated me or tried to kick me out bec
