Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

As Alexa walked down the busy street with the new butler, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. The stores were buzzing with activity and the bright lights were making her head spin. She had never been a fan of shopping, but Nolan had insisted that she get some new clothes for work.

“I really don’t need any new clothes, Mr. Evans,” Alexa said, trying to convince Nolan’s butler.

“Nonsense, Miss Alexa. Mr. Evans wants you to look your best and I’m here to help you do just that,” the butler replied with a smile.

Alexa sighed and followed the butler into the first store. As she tried on outfit after outfit, she couldn’t help but think of Anthony. He had always been the one to accompany her on shopping trips, helping her pick out the perfect outfit. She missed him terribly and couldn’t help but wonder if he was watching over her from above.

After several hours of shopping, Alexa was exhausted. She had tried on countless outfits and was ready to go home. However, Nolan had arranged for her to get her hair and makeup done at a nearby salon.

As she sat in the salon chair, Alexa felt herself relax for the first time in weeks. The masseuse worked her magic on her shoulders and neck, releasing all the tension that had built up. The stylist then worked his magic, giving her a new haircut and applying makeup that made her feel beautiful.

As Alexa left the salon, she felt like a new person. Her doubts and guilt were temporarily forgotten and she felt like she could take on the world. However, as she got into the car, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched.

The feeling only intensified as she arrived at the mansion. As she got out of the car, she looked around, trying to see if anyone was watching her. But the streets were empty and there was no one around.

As she walked up the steps to the mansion, Nolan emerged from the door, a smile on his face.

“Miss Alexa, you look absolutely stunning,” Nolan said, taking her hand and leading her inside.

Alexa blushed at the compliment and followed Nolan inside. The housekeeping staff had prepared a beautiful dinner, complete with candles and fresh flowers. As they sat down to eat, Nolan thanked Alexa for all her hard work and dedication.

“I couldn’t have done it without you, Miss Alexa. You truly are an invaluable asset to me,” Nolan said, raising his glass in a toast.

Alexa smiled and raised her glass in return.

Alexa noticed that Nolan was acting differently. He seemed more relaxed, yet mature and responsible at the same time. It was as if he had finally found his footing in life after his father’s death. Alexa couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness at the thought of Anthony, the man who had given her a chance and treated her with kindness even though she was just a maid.

As the meal progressed, Alexa found herself admiring Nolan even more. He was more handsome than she remembered, and his smile seemed to light up the room. She was surprised at how much he had grown since the last time she had seen him. It was clear that he had matured a lot in the time since his father had passed away.

After dinner, Nolan invited Alexa outside to the pool bar. He poured them both glasses of wine, and they sat together in the cool night air. Alexa couldn’t help but notice how beautiful the moon looked as it reflected off the water in the pool.

Nolan took a sip of his wine and turned to Alexa. “Do you remember the dance we shared at the charity event?” he asked.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Alexa felt a sudden warmth in her chest as she thought back to that night. “Of course I remember,” she replied, smiling.

Nolan grinned. “Then would you like to dance with me again, under the moonlight?”

Alexa felt a rush of excitement as she stood up and took Nolan’s outstretched hand. They made their way to the small dance floor next to the pool, and as they began to move, Alexa couldn’t believe how natural it felt. It was as if they had danced together a thousand times before.

As they swayed to the music, Alexa felt Nolan’s arm around her waist, holding her close. She looked up into his eyes, and in that moment, she knew that she had fallen for him all over again. She was afraid to admit it, even to herself, but she couldn’t deny the feelings that were welling up inside her.

Nolan seemed to sense her hesitation, and he pulled her even closer, as if he could read her thoughts. Alexa closed her eyes and let herself get lost in the moment, forgetting all of her worries and fears.

As the song came to an end, Nolan leaned in and whispered in Alexa’s ear, “I’m so glad you’re here, Alexa. I don’t know what I would do without you.”

Alexa’s heart swelled with emotion, and she knew that she could never leave Nolan’s side.
