Tempting the Billionaire heir Chapter 34
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

ALEXA'S POV "Would it be alright if you spend your day with me?" I stood there confused as he asked me."My son is out on a date with his girlfriend after classes, so you're left with nothing to do at home, correct?" I nodded in response to his question. "Then I don't mind taking you out. You won't have to stay longer than a couple hours. It will make me happy to have your company around me." He continued walking while he had his hands in his pocket as he makes his way to his desk where his keys were, but my feet seemed glued to the ground as I stared at the back of his gray suit.My gaze slowly followed his movement, trying to calm the rapid beating of my heart. Why was I being asked out by someone I don't know, someone who hates me no less? Why didn't Nolan come along with him? I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth it to try to explain things. Is it really a good idea to let myself be around Mr.Brown after what Nolan said?I was shocked and speechless. I looked up at Mr.Brown

ALEXA'S POV "Sir, why did you ask me out on a date?" I asked as we both sat at the back of his car's trunk. The door had been liften up so in case it rained it would prevent us from getting wet. "Why wouldn't I?" He glanced back at me before giving me another smile.Did he already forget?"I'm not saying I'm complaining, but isn't that a little sudden?" My words came out more bluntly than I meant it too."You should never rush these things, Alexa. Don't ever doubt yourself or how wonderful the people around you are. Trust me when I say that, I've met my fair share of people who never understand love or kindness.""How old did you grow up?" I inquired further."Nineteen years old, Alexa,"This man, Mr.Brown, had grown up a very mature person despite his age. He had a hard life, yet he seemed to have found peace.Maybe having Nolan early in his life blessing in disguise. Maybe that was the reason for his happiness and acceptance.I shook off all thoughts and focused on my surroundi

ALEXA'S POV It's been days since I've been ignoring Mr.Brown because of the date a few days ago. I knew it was only a dream, but I cant bare to face why he would ask me out of all the woman he have met in his life. Preparing inside the kitchen I jumped at the sound of Sam calling me."Hey, Mr.Brown wants you in his office, are you okay?" Sam spoke with concern laced in her voice.She knows the real reason since I told her what had happened and asked her to swear she won't tell a soul. We've talked about it after the date and ever since then she comes up to me to check if Icwas alright. She might not know about Cody but she knows the problem that might rise between us and she knows I would feel guilty over it. "Alexa, what happened?""Sorry Sam just tell Mr.Brown I'm busy!"I ran outside to the garden and straight to the shed until I heard Nolan's intercom voice blessing me with freedom. I would much rather take up my time taking care of Nolan than spending time with Mr. Brown. I ne

ALEXA'S POV "Mr.Brown I can explain," I stood up immediately from the bed as I caught his gaze at me."What the actual hell are two doing?!" Mr.Brown yells, grabbing the nearby speaker and preparing to throw it at Nolan who was laughing uncontrollably. "You think this is a fucking joke?!" Mr.Brown yelled as he threw the speaker almost hitting Nolan's side making him stop. "Hey, Dad! Chill, it's just a prank!" Nolan stood up, taking his camera out of its hiding place from the nightstand that was aiming at me."See, it's harmless-" Suddenly, Mr.Brown threw Nolan's shoes at his head and almost hit him again."Hey! I said it was harmless!" Nolan yelled.Before the two could even get a step closer to each other, I stood between them when I suddenly smelled Mr.Brown. "Sir, are you alright?" I quickly reached to touch his face when pushes me away toward Nolan.It was a good thing Nolan caught me but Mr.Brown's gaze burned whole into my head as if I've done something horrible to him. "Ge

ALEXA'S POV Opening the door slightly and making my way inside, Mr.Brown looks in my direction after chugging his bottle empty. "Sir, I am really sorry-""Leave me alone!" Mr. Brown yells, cutting me off as I was about to apologize earlier. "Sir, please listen to me-" "No, leave me alone!" He slams his desk loudly as I take a step closer to him."Please!" I pleaded, my voice low so that it was barely audible and my tears starting to flow."You think I want to hurt you? But how could you do this?!" His eyes narrows as he points a finger at me angrily and throws himself out of his chair. "I've always believed in you and now look at you! You're a failure of a husband!"My eyes furrowed at him as I try to think of what he just said. Husband? I look at the bottle in his hand and saw it was wine. Red wine."Shit, Mr.Brown!" I take his bottle and walk away from him, I turned to see he walked off to his balcony where he sat and stared at something."I'm a failure... I'm sorry," "That's n

ALEXA'S POV The warm water running through the faucet was the only sound I could hear throughout the bathroom walls. My mind was racing however to the kiss Anthony and I had. I stood naked infront of my bathroom mirror, watching myself and observing my face as to what they see in me.I took a deep breath and wiped some of the wetness away from my face before turning to stare at my reflection. I watched myself as I dried my hair, then pulled it up into a messy bun.I tried to push back the event, focusing on the mission. But his lips left a mark on my mind that I could never get removed. A tattoo.Walking out of the bathroom, Nolan no longer lied on my bed but was as messy as he had left. Sighing to myself, I locked the door in case anyone had any ideas to do before laying down to finally rest. I have a lot to confront with him tomorrow, but it's better to act unfazed than to be affected by it. (***) The following day, Nolan marches downstairs as he grabs his keys to his car to tak

Alexa’s Pov I woke up the next day, ready to start my day as usual. But as I walked into the kitchen, I noticed something strange. The cook and housekeeping staff were packing up their things. "Good morning," I said, trying to sound casual. "What's going on? Are you guys leaving?" "Yes, we are," one of the housekeeping staff replied. "We were instructed to take our leave by Mr. Nolan." "Nolan?" I repeated, confused. "Why would he tell you guys to leave? And without any notice?" The cook spoke up this time. "We were just as surprised as you are. But he said it was necessary." "But what about Mr. Brown?" I asked. "He's going to be so angry when he finds out that you guys just left like this." "Don't worry," another housekeeping staff member said. "We have Mr. Nolan's words on record. In case Mr. Brown gets angry at us, we have evidence that we were only following orders." I was shocked. Nolan, the boss who rarely ever interacted with us, had apparently instructed the staff to

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.

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.

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.
