Chapter 33 (1113)
ALEXA’S POV
Relieved as we were parked in his garage, we both walked out of the car and got inside the mansion. I thought for a moment he actually knew about Cody’s plans, it turns out he had me investigated.
I am hoping he wont do anything to have my ass on the line, god knows how he will react if he finds out?
Walking inside the living room, I stop in my tracks to find Nolan waiting by the sofa. I slip out my phone to find it had already been pass 4 am .
“Nolan, what are you doing up at 4 am?”
“Don’t fucking play dumb with me, slut!” Nolan yells, Mr. Brown came walking up behind me and was surprised to find Nolan at the living room.
“Care to explain why it took you up till 4 am to get home?”
“Nolan, stop playing game-”
” You are threatening me to stay at home. To hiring a body guard if I don’t keep myself locked up in this cage!” Nolan screamed, I was frightened to say the least.
“Nolan, stop acting like this-” I tried to speak but Nolan threw a pillow at me.
“Did I tell you to speak to me?”
“Nolan-” Mr. Brown chimes in, trying to calm him down.
“You are a hypocrite!” He shouts at me.
“I’m just a bitch that wants to fuck around. I’ve had enough! You are not going to tell me what to do anymore!” Nolan continues on.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Mr. Brown is right Nolan, calm yourself now, we need to discuss this-”
“NO! Not until you talk some sense into her. Do you hear me?! Now get out! Get out!” Nolan yelled again, I began to cry and ran upstairs.
“Shit! He’s gonna pursuade Mr. Brown into firing me… What do I tell Cody?” I cried out as I fell to the floor clutching my head between my knees.
This can’t be happening. Everything is falling apart. Everything I’ve worked for is gone.
“Where the fuck were you? Don’t think I dont know what you’re thinking!” Nolan yelled as I heard Mr. Brown’s faint voice scoldeding him as I stood in the doorway of my bedroom, I could see anger written all over his face, his eyes blazing in fire.
He’s angry, oh God what have I done?
“Please, don’t fire me…” I managed to say between my crying fit, trying to cover myself with my hands to defend myself from his gaze that was now burning holes into my forehead.
“Are you kidding me?!” His yell cut through me.
“You don’t understand, I love job. I love this house, these people, all of it. I want to stay in this house forever, I can’t leave Mr. Brown, please don’t fire me Mr. Brown, please… don’t fire me Mr. Brown… PLEASE DON’T FIRE ME!”
“You think I’m fucking joking?! Father, she is using you to gain wealth? Don’t you see that?” Nolan yells directly at me.
“Anything but staying on this property!” He snapped at me, I could tell he was mad.
“Why don’t you just go out, run away or something, you shouldn’t live under the same roof as a criminal.”
“I can’t, please… don’t fire me.”
I begged, knowing that once this happened I wouldn’t ever get paid or be given a break again. I have to keep acting this way to keep my job.
“Nolan, that’s enough!” Mr. Brown yells, pushing Nolan away from me.
“Now what, you’re taking her side too? That’s disgusting, that’s fucking molestation-” Suddenly, Mr. Brown slaps Nolan across the face shutting him up.
“I can’t believe you’d accuse her of that… what is the matter with you?!”
He looks furious, he’s shouting angrily. I feel my legs getting shaky, I look at them and try to control myself.
My heart rate picks up as my stomach suddenly starts to churn and my legs turn weak. They seem to be trembling uncontrollably as I felt a sudden rush of dizziness wash over me. I lean forward against the wall trying to steady myself. My vision starts to blur as my breathing becomes laboured and my head starts to throb violently.
I gasp loudly as I fall back onto the ground, landing painfully on my bum. I close my eyes to stop them from stinging as I attempt to hold in the tears. I knew it was only a call of nature but it’s a good enough distraction from keeping me fired from this job. I need to stay.
I heard footsteps approach me as I open my eyes and look up at the person above me.
“No… no… Please…” I whimper, pleading for someone, acting like I had passed out.
All I want is to live a simple life with my family without any fear of being killed for being gay.
“I’m so sorry sweetheart… Come on now, sit up, come on now” A man says soothingly as he helps me up and then pulls me.

I woke up from my slumber and notice that I slept inside my room. I knew it would work, but I had to be sure otherwise. I quickly get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I splash water into my face and brush my teeth. Once that was finished, I quickly dress, put on make up and my shoes. It took everything within me not to throw up from the feeling. I didn’t even dare check the time as I made sure that I was wearing everything correctly. I wanted it to be believable when I told Mr. Brown that I overslept. I quickly went downstairs and found Nolan sitting around the table eating breakfast.
“Good morning?” I greeted Nolan who had his head low.
“Good morning everyone.” I spoke softly as I pass the kitchen and see Sam smiling at me.
“Alexa, where were you, you even left me last night to sleep in the shed” Sam asked asked as she pouted. I noticed Nolan was staring at me as she spoke; he looked very worried. But he continued on eating without giving even a single greeting, as he was busy glancing from me to his phone several times.
“I was out to cater Mr. Brown.” I replied as she tugs on my arm.
We all glanced at each other. I could almost hear the tension in the atmosphere as Nolan looks at me more each time he glance. I was surprised to feel my phone vibrate while the front door opened.
“Morning, Babe!” Kathy greeted as she walks inside the mansion kissing him on the corner of his cheek.
I broke ff from staring at him, pulling out my phone to see Mr. Brown’s text.
