Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

107



As Alexa stood on the balcony, trying to calm her nerves and process the events of the evening, she noticed a familiar car parked at the end of the driveway. It was Cody’s car. Panic set in as she realized that he was here, right outside the mansion.

Her heart started to race as she quickly made her way back inside, trying to avoid being seen by Anthony or Nolan. She made it to the door and started to open it, but before she could step outside, she heard Cody’s voice behind her.

“What the hell are you doing here?” he hissed.

Alexa turned around slowly, dreading the confrontation that was sure to follow. “I-I was just trying to relax,” she stuttered, hoping he would believe her.

Cody didn’t seem convinced. “Relaxing? Really? You know we have a job to do tonight, and you’re out here risking everything by being seen.”

Alexa felt a twinge of guilt. He was right – if Anthony or Nolan caught her with Cody, it could ruin everything. “I’m sorry,” she said quietly. “I just needed some air.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Cody didn’t seem to care. “Well, you better get your head back in the game. We’re going to be hitting that mansion tonight, and if you mess this up, we’re both screwed.”

Alexa nodded, feeling a lump form in her throat. She didn’t like the way he was talking to her, but she knew better than to argue. She just needed to get through tonight and then figure out a way to end things with Cody for good.

As she turned to walk away, Cody grabbed her arm roughly, causing her to wince in pain. “And one more thing,” he said, his voice low and threatening. “If you tell anyone about our plan, I’ll make sure you regret it.”

Alexa nodded again, feeling tears prick at the corners of her eyes. She couldn’t believe she had gotten herself into this mess. She quickly pulled her arm away from Cody’s grasp and ran off, hoping to put as much distance between them as possible.

Alexa stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her, frustrated and angry. She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. She was tired of being a victim to Cody’s abuse and his criminal plans.

She paced back and forth in her room, her mind racing with thoughts. She knew that she had to end things with Cody, but she didn’t know how to do it. She had been with him for so long, and she didn’t want to hurt him, but she couldn’t take it anymore. The constant fear and anxiety that came with being with him was suffocating her.

She sat down on her bed, her head in her hands, trying to calm herself down. She took a deep breath and started to think about what to do. She knew that breaking up with Cody was the right thing to do, but she was scared. She had never been alone before and didn’t know how to deal with it.

As she sat there, lost in thought, she realized that she needed to do something to take her mind off things. She got up from the bed, walked over to the window, and looked out at the night sky. The stars were twinkling in the sky, and the moon was shining bright. It was a peaceful scene, and it helped to calm her down.

Alexa decided that she would break up with Cody in the morning. She was done being his punching bag and wanted to start a new chapter in her life. She also decided that she would not tell Anthony about Cody’s robbery plans. She didn’t want to get him involved, and she knew that it would only cause more trouble.

She lay down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She knew that breaking up with Cody would be hard, but she also knew that it was the right thing to do. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down, hoping that she would be able to get some rest.

As she drifted off to sleep, she hoped that tomorrow would be a new beginning for her, one without Cody and his criminal plans. She knew that it would be hard, but she was determined to make it work.
