Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

As Alexa lay sleeping, she felt a shift beside her. She slowly opened her eyes, still feeling a little groggy. When she turned her head, she saw that it was Nolan lying next to her, cuddled up in the blankets.

Alexa was surprised to see Nolan in her bed, but her instincts told her that something was wrong. As she looked closer, she noticed that Nolan appeared to be visibly drunk. She tried to wake him up, but he was unresponsive, his body limp and heavy.

Feeling a mix of concern and confusion, Alex carefully lifted Nolan’s arm and tried to rouse him. After a few moments, he began to stir, his eyes fluttering open. But he was still clearly inebriated, his speech slurred and his movements clumsy.

“Wha… what’s going on?” Nolan mumbled, struggling to sit up.

Alex helped him to his feet, trying to keep him steady as they made their way to his room. As they walked, she could smell the alcohol on his breath, and she knew that he had been drinking heavily.

As Alex finished changing Nolan into fresh clothes, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of worry and confusion. Hearing Nolan express his doubts about his career and his future had caught her off guard, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more going on beneath the surface.

As she turned to leave the room, she was suddenly startled by Nolan’s voice. At first, she thought he had woken up, but when she looked closer, she saw that he was still sound asleep, his breathing slow and even.

“Alexa… I will be here… please stay,” Nolan mumbled in his sleep.

Alex froze, her heart racing as she processed Nolan’s words. What did he mean by “please stay”? Was he asking her to stay in his room, or was he trying to convey something deeper?

For a moment, Alex considered waking Nolan up and asking him about his words. But she quickly dismissed the idea, realizing that he was still heavily under the influence of alcohol and probably wouldn’t remember anything in the morning.

Instead, she decided to leave him be, quietly closing the door behind her. As she walked back to her own room, she couldn’t help but replay Nolan’s words in her head, trying to decipher their meaning.

Despite her confusion, Alex couldn’t deny that Nolan’s words had stirred up some unexpected emotions within her. She had always seen him as a friend and a colleague, but hearing him express a desire for her to stay had awakened something new and unfamiliar within her.

As she lay in her own bed, unable to sleep, Alex found herself thinking about Nolan and his situation. She knew that he was struggling with his career and his relationship with his father, but she didn’t know how to help him.

In the end, all Alex could do was hope that Nolan would find the answers he was looking for, and that they would both be able to navigate their complicated feelings for each other in a way that wouldn’t jeopardize their friendship or their work. CHAPTER 100

Alexa 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 weren’t together.

As Alex stood there, lost in thought, she knew that she had to make a decision, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She loved Cody, but she was also intrigued by Nolan, and the thought of exploring a new relationship with him was tempting.

As Alex continued to weigh her options, she couldn’t help but wonder if any of the men in her life truly knew her. She had always been the one who held everything together, the one who never showed weakness or vulnerability. But now, as she stood at this crossroads, she hoped that at some point, the three men would show her who they really were, at their lowest point.

She didn’t want Anthony to love her simply because she reminded him of his dead wife. She wanted to know that he loved her for who she was, flaws and all. And she didn’t want Cody to love her simply because she could help him maneuver his plans at work. She wanted him to see her as a person, not just a tool to be used for his own benefit.

As she thought about this, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was being naive. Maybe love wasn’t about finding someone who knew everything about you, someone who saw you at your lowest point. Maybe it was about finding someone who accepted you, flaws and all, even if they didn’t fully understand you.

But deep down, Alex knew that she wanted more. She wanted to be truly seen and understood, and she wasn’t sure if any of the men in her life could give her that.

As Alex lay in her bed, lost in thought, she couldn’t help but think about Nolan. She had always been attracted to him, but she didn’t want him to see her as a mother figure. She knew that he had grown up without a mother in his life, and she didn’t want to replace that role for him.

She lay there, staring up at the ceiling, her mind wandering. She thought about all of the times she had spent with Nolan, both at work and outside of it. She enjoyed his company and found him to be incredibly charming and kind-hearted. But she didn’t want their relationship to be based on her playing the role of a mother figure.

As she lay there, lost in thought, she slowly began to drift off to sleep. The world around her faded away, and she was left in a state of peace and tranquility.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
