All Chapters of The Billionaire Rebel and The Angel (Alexander's Crave): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Simon’s POVHeading back to the Manor, I felt like an excited teenager who had just had his first kiss. In my head, were sounds of symphonies and Melodies’ that played endlessly.After the kiss, Catherine retreated into silence and I, occasionally stealing glances at her as we drove back, supposed she was hosting guilt over the kiss but unexpectedly, I wasn’t. I felt ecstatic, euphoric, fulfilled and there was not a single doubt in my heart. I was smitten by Catherine Kent and I knew now that I could not stop.“Simon” I hear Olivia’s voice pop out of the darkness, once I walk through the door with Catherine. “Goodnight Simon” Catherine dropped immediately, not sparing another look at Olivia and hurried away from our presence.“Hmmm” Olivia hummed. “You look mighty happy”I shift my eyes from Catherine’s disappearing back view to Olivia and I meet her mischievous smile. “Wipe that smile off your face….we only went for a drive” I lie, motioning towards the bar, where she stood. Still

Alexander’s POV As far as Sussex sports was concerned, the annual Clifford Race was more than just a race; it was a spectacle, a testament to Clifford’s significance and repute. My best part of the Race was showing Arthur Clifford that I was good for something, walking off with their trophy, wearing their glory on my back. Like every other year the crowd's anticipation was palpable and amidst the sea of roaring engines and flashing lights, one name echoed louder than the rest: Alexander! “It’s the 50th season of the Clifford Race and we have Sussex’s most seasoned drivers on the field ready to battle it out for the winning spot… Reigning champion Alexander Clifford would be riding the latest Cliff 500 and new on the track is Simon Clarke… a known face in the Clifford Empire but a rookie on the field” The commentator’s voice surged from the microphone. “Alexander! Alexander! Alexander!” The crowd chanted my name across the field as we sat strapped in our vehicles ready for the R

Catherine’s POV “Alexander?” I ask Ophelia on the breakfast table, that’s missing Alexander. “He left rather too early for work….he seemed off balance…in-composed….so unlike himself” Ophelia narrates thoughtfully, her face telling a deeper story than her words. So he leaves me hot and aroused last night and he’s off balance? I chuckle crudely. “Is everything okay child?” Ophelia tenderly reached into my thoughts. I take her eyes, they hold so much care that compel me to expunge my rattling emotions. “We had a… sort of quarrel” My head replaying the entire events of last night. His rapid shifts from vulnerable, evil and roused, all in a span of a minute. I feel my cheeks flush. “Well whatever it was, I have never seen Alexander that affected….nothing ever affects him…it’s the first time I would see him that way” “Oh Ophelia…” I expunge the heavy breath I have been holding down, taking her full gaze. “He’s such a devil” “Oh come on child, he’s your husband, a little bi

Catherine’s POV Eventually, my legs had caved from the kicking at the door and my voice drained out from too much screaming. Alexander had locked me in the room and disappeared, leaving me to expunge my rage at the door, probably still banging Olivia without a care in the world. I rub off the webs of sleep, clinging on to my eyes, I must have dosed off from my exhausted yelping. Suddenly, I hear noise, it’s panicky, frantic, then I hear groaning, loud groaning that sound a lot like Alexander. I can hear Simon too and Olivia, loitering in the background. I jump to my feet, pressing my ear unto the door. “Open the door” I bang at the door intensely. “Catherine?” I hear Simon from the door. “Yes, Alexander locked me in” I cry. I hear the sound of the lock and the door swing open. Simon gawking at my pale frame and sunken eyes, asks tenderly. “Catherine, are you okay?” “Yes, what’s going on…?” My eyes trail the distance of the groaning sound coming from down the hall. “It’s Ale

Catherine’s POV“Catherine” Olivia’s rich smile greet me as soon as I shut Alexander’s door and my smile leaves my face immediately.“Olivia” I frown, a mental image of Alexander banging her surfaces in my head and I feel all the thrill in my nerves zap away.“I must check in on Alexander” She said, gesturing at the door, where my back almost grazed.“You mustn’t” I return a hostile smile. “Alexander is indisposed at the moment”“Oh really?” Her smile starts to fade into a frown.“Yes really….when he’s fully recovered, you’ll get to see your STEP SON, like every other member of the Manor”She glared at me. “Simon was right about you, you do have a little fire….” She leaned forward, her mouth in her ear. “But be careful, I quench fires” She whispers and pulls back, restoring her scripted smile.“Bye Olivia” I shove my fearlessness in her face.“You can hide him all you want but once he recovers, we both know whose arms he’s running to”I dip my voice to an urgent whisper, gravely disgu
