CHAPTER 92Alexa felt uncomfortable and quickly walked away, ignoring Nolan's attempt to strike up a conversation. As she went to the kitchen to continue her work, she saw Anthony walking in, his face tired and stressed."Hey Alexa, are you able to come to my room for a moment?" Anthony asked her."Of course, what do you need?" Alexa replied.Anthony led her to his room and sat down on the bed, motioning for Alexa to sit next to him. As she sat down, Anthony pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her. Alexa felt his tension ease as he held her, and she couldn't help but feel slight tingles in her body."You make me feel so calm and relaxed, Alexa. Thank you for being here for me," Anthony said.Alexa smiled, but in her mind, she couldn't stop thinking about how she was feeling towards Anthony. She was already in a relationship with Cody, and she couldn't help but feel guilty for developing feelings for Anthony. At the same time, Nolan was starting to become more aggressive in h

CHAPTER 94Nolan could feel his face turning red as he sheepishly admitted, "It's about you, Alexa."Alexa's mouth dropped in surprise, "Really? That's so sweet, Nolan. I had no idea."Nolan looked at Alexa, his eyes full of emotion, "You're my inspiration, Alexa. You inspire me to be the best version of myself. And I want the world to know how special you are to me."Alexa's heart was glowing with warmth as she looked at Nolan. "Thank you, Nolan. That means more to me than you know."Nolan turned to Alexa, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Hey Alexa, do you want to hear me play a song?"Alexa grinned, "Yes, of course! I'm excited!"Nolan picked up his acoustic guitar and started strumming. He closed his eyes and began singing in his deep, sweet voice. Alexa listened intently, taking in every note and every word.As Nolan sang, Alexa couldn't help but notice the way his voice sounded. It was smooth and silky, and it gave her goosebumps. It was a feeling that she couldn't quite descr

CHAPTER 96Anthony walked in, looking for Nolan and Alexa. "What is going on here?" he demanded. His eyes fell upon Nolan's bandaged hands, and he immediately began to scold the staff in the room for letting his son get hurt.One of the female cooks tried to speak up, but Anthony didn't let them. He continued to yell at them, blaming them for Nolan's injury. Nolan couldn't take it anymore, and he yelled back at his father. "It was no one's fault, Dad," he explained. "I did it voluntarily out of kindness."Anthony wasn't impressed. "You're stupid for trying to help around when you can't even take care of yourself," he scolded. Alexa was about to speak up for Nolan when Nolan cut her off. "Maybe I got that from you, you couldn't do anything when Mom was dying," he retorted.The sound of silence filled the kitchen as Anthony stood, mouth agape, at a loss for words. Alexa's eyes widened in shock as she turned towards Nolan, who was breathing heavily, his eyes staring daggers into his fath

CHAPTER 98Cody quickly replied, "Great! I'm glad it went well. Listen, we need to meet up and go over the plan soon."Alexa sighed, feeling a sense of dread wash over her. She knew she couldn't avoid Cody forever. "Sure, when do you want to meet?""How about tonight?" Cody replied. "We can go over the plan and make sure everything's in place. Meet me at the usual spot at 8 PM."Alexa didn't want to go, but she knew she had to. She didn't want to let Cody down, but she also didn't want to get caught up in something illegal. However, before she could respond, her phone rang. It was Anthony."Hey beautiful," Anthony said on the other end. "How was shopping?"Alexa felt guilty for thinking about selling the clothes Anthony had bought her. "It was good. I got everything I needed," she lied."That's great. Listen, I'm going to be busy with work for the next few days, so I won't be able to see you. But I wanted to make sure you're taken care of. Did you need anything else?"Alexa felt a twi

CHAPTER 100Alexa stood in the middle of her living room, phone still clutched in her hand as she replayed the conversation with Nolan over and over in her head. Her heart was heavy with indecision, and she found herself at a crossroads, torn between her loyalty to her boyfriend Cody and her growing feelings for Nolan, the son of her employer, Anthony.Cody had been her partner for two years, and they had shared many memories together. They had started off as friends and gradually developed a romantic relationship. Alexa loved Cody, but lately, she had been feeling that something was missing between them. They had grown apart, and their once passionate love had dwindled into routine.Nolan, on the other hand, was a breath of fresh air. He was everything that Cody wasn't; charming, witty, and intelligent. Alexa had known him for a short while but she was already starting to feel drawn to him. Their conversations flowed easily, and she found herself thinking about him even when they wer
