Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Chapter 38 (1055)

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.

“Get away from her!” Mr. Brown screams, taking a hold of my wrist and pulling me out of Nolan’s room.

“What the hell! What is wrong with you?!” Nolan yells as he grabs hold on Mr. Brown’s shoulder.

“Don’t you dare touch me!” Mr. Brown shoves his hand off. Nolan came shoving both his hands on Mr. Brown to push him out of his room furiously.

“What is wrong with you, father?! One moment you want me to spend time with Alexa, the next you’re taking her away from me?!”

Mr. Brown looks like he wanted to hit him but I pulled on his shirt to stop him.

“Let go of me you little brat! Why the hell should I listen to a word you say?!” Mr. Brown pushed me against the wall behind the TV stand, causing me to gasp in shock and pain as I felt a trickle of liquid behind my back. “How could you do this to me?! How could you betray me like this?” I tried to talk but the sight of blood in my hands after touching my back had me speechless.

I couldn’t breath, and not because I was trying to act this way, I genuinely couldn’t breath.

A tear escapes from the corner of my eye as my vision blurred and blurs with blackness. Everything became silent.

‘Where am I?’ I thought. There’s no answer and I couldn’t move.

I looked down and noticed I was naked except my bra which seems like it was covering me. Wake up!

I try to move but I feel like I was so still.

Wake up!

I need to move… Wait, what’s that sound?

Wake up!

“Alexa?!” My eyes fluttered open as I look around my surroundings.

I was back in my bedroom and Nolan still wore the same pajamas he had when we watched…

“What happened?” As I was about to rub my eyes, I feel a small sting on my back.

“You hit my tv rack pretty hard after trying to stop my father from hurting me…” Nolan murmurs, as he tidies up a small red bag beside him.

“Its just a small cut, it’s. Not that deep.” As he adds the last note, he looks down with guilt as he reaches over to hold me hand.

“I am really sorry, Alexa… I wasn’t expect my father walking in on us and reacting that way towards u,” Nolan softly speaks, his hold firm around my hand but it felt assuring to say the least.

I didn’t know how to react after everything that’s just been revealed. I guess I can say I’m shocked and shocked at his reaction too… I mean, what did I ever do to him to warrant such a response… Did it happen that much during his early years here?

I shake my head and smile weakly.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Don’t be sorry Nolan… It wasn’t your fault… I probably scared him more than anything else,” As soon as those words left my lips, he pulls me up and holds my waist tightly.

I notice my phone lying close to the table which was beside the door. I reach for it hesitantly.

My thumb hovers above the contact icon that’s labeled as Cody, I hesitated to press call knowing that it would bring up a lot of memories… Memories that I would prefer not to revisit tonight. After thinking for a few seconds, I decided to just not call him and leave this conversation be for the day.

“Goodnight Nolan.” I mumbled under my breath and quickly stood up from my bed, careful not to wake him up as I pulled away from his hold. Turning off my phone as quick as I could, I walk straight to my closet without looking back.

I grab clothes and put on my new pair of pjs, leaving my hair hanging loosely and the door open. I didn’t bother to brush my teeth or shower and quickly walked outside of the room.

My eyes dart at Mr. Brown’s bedroom, the light from inside gave an illuminating glow shining towards outside. The darkness from his room kept the lights bright and warm.

I quietly tip toe my way to Mr. Brown’s study and slowly open the door, the smell of cigarettes filling my nostrils. The room was lit with candles along with the moonlight shining onto the bookshelves. The sound of the crickets filled in every crevice in the room which was quite creepy considering that there wasn’t any light. My eyes scan around the room for Mr. Brown but found no sign of him. I was confused and uneasy, where did he go? I heard footsteps coming from the hall way followed by a voice.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry” I could hear him whisper as he slammed the door to his study behind him.

I stayed silent and listened closely to the voices outside the door, trying to decipher the words they spoke. Then, they stopped, and it’s only then that I could distinguish the words that were being spoken.

I took a deep breath to prepare myself as I try to think of a way on how to approach him as I apologize.

Peeking inside, I hear a woman voice unfamiliar to me. “Honey, smile for me, please! This is for our memory!”
