Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

As Alexa stormed into the mansion, her eyes were red from tears and her fists were clenched in fury. She had just had a heated argument with her boyfriend Cody over a trivial matter, and now she felt like everything was falling apart.

To her surprise, when she entered the living room, Anthony was nowhere to be found. She quickly checked her phone and saw a message from him that he had a late meeting and might not come back until the next morning. This news just added fuel to her already burning emotions.

Just as she was about to head to her room, she noticed Nolan sitting on the couch, engrossed in a book. He looked up and noticed her, surprise clear on his face, “Alexa, what are you doing here so early?”

“Long story,” she grunted, not in the mood for small talk.

Nolan closed his book and stood up, “Can I get you something? A drink, maybe?”

Alexa sighed and shook her head, “No, I just need some time to myself.”

Nolan nodded, understanding the situation, “Take all the time you need. By the way, your room is ready whenever you’re ready to freshen up.”

“Thanks,” she mumbled as she made her way up the stairs.

Once in her room, Alexa collapsed on her bed, tears flowing freely. She couldn’t believe she had fought with Cody, yet again. It seemed like they were always arguing over something these days.

As she freshened up, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that maybe she was the one causing all the problems. Maybe she was too needy, too demanding.

Alexa lay on the bed, her heart heavy with emotion. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she replayed the events of the day in her mind. She couldn’t believe how badly she had messed up with Cody, and the thought of him being angry with her weighed heavily on her. She wanted to apologize, to make things right, but she didn’t know where to begin.

As she lay there, alone with her thoughts, she remembered Jade’s words. “Know your worth, or else no one else will.” She had heard those words before, but they had never rung as true as they did now. Alexa had always struggled with feeling like she wasn’t good enough, but Jade’s words gave her a new perspective. She knew that she deserved to be treated with respect and kindness, and she wouldn’t settle for anything less.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

But despite this newfound confidence, Alexa was still hurt. She had trusted Cody completely, believing that he would never hurt her. And yet, here she was, feeling betrayed and uncertain. Could she trust him again? Would he hurt her again?

As she lay there lost in thought, she heard a knock on her door.

Alexa’s heart raced as she sat up, wiping away the tears from her cheeks. Who could it be? She hesitated before getting up from the bed and slowly made her way towards the door to check who was there.
