CHAPTER 138Nolan smiled to himself as he watched her fold herself in the blanket. “I love you, Nolan” she muttered as she smiled and she looked so cute in her sleep. He rubbed her back slightly as she continued to mutter his name in her sleep and he couldn’t help but smirk slightly.He smiled to himself, she looked really cute and she with the memories from the previous night when they had made love, hot rounds coming to mind, he couldn’t help but smile even more. He sighed as he put his hand to her hair, stroking it slightly which caused her to slightly open her eyes and seeing him, she blushed before turning away as she recalled confessing her love to him.“There’s no need to be shy, Alexa” he told her with a smile as she got off her back, sitting up.“Good morning” she greeted him and he cupped her face as without even greeting her back, he pulled her to himself, slamming his lips tightly against hers and her eyes opened wide in surprise.He thrusted his tongue right into her mout
CHAPTER 139After spending a full week in Texas, Alexa and Nolan chose to have their earl holiday in Sweden. The past few days had been nothing short of beautiful for Alexa. "Are you alright, Lexa?" Nolan asked as Alexa unpacked her luggage. He'd been observing her since they got into his private jet. Her face seemed a little pale and she maintained a hunched posture almost all through the flight. Her hand also held her abdomen occasionally. "S-Sure, Nolan." She managed a smile. "Are you sure?" He reached for her hand and pulled her toward him, searching her eyes. "You don't look too good." His eyes darted to her face and he pulled up her chin."I-I'm just a little jet lagged." Alexa shut her eyes, taking a calm breath. "I'm alright. There's nothing to worry about. I just need to have some rest." Her mouth was dry, an empty feeling coursed in the pit of her stomach.Nolan's lips pursed, his head cocked to one side, and he let out a deep sigh. "I'll just use the bathroom." Alexa ex
CHAPTER 140Their holiday came to an end earlier than expected. Although, Nolah's excuse to Alexa was that he had an emergency at his company, which was partly true, his main reason for putting the holiday to an abrupt end was Alexa. He had been so worried sick for her. Thankfully, Alexa wasn't angry or sad about the news. Perhaps, it had something to do with what had been going on with her. On the way back to Los Angeles, Alexa was stopped by a rather churlish bald ruddy attending officer who appeared to be in his early forties. "I'm afraid that you can't go through the checkpoint, ma'am. You look visibly unwell, and you have a rising temperature. I can't jeopardise the health of others because of you. Who knows? Someone might catch the flu or something." Nolan, who had earlier stepped away to receive a call arrived just in time to the sight of an angry Alexa. The hair on her nape was erected like bristles and her nose flared. "What's going on here?" Nolah's eyes darted from the a
CHAPTER 141"You may be pregnant, my lady." Alexa's dry mouth slackened, her eyes widened, a lump formed in her throat and her head shook vigorously. "No way. That can't be. It's impossible. How could I be pregnant?!" Alexa leaned back to steady herself and a sheen of sweat broke on her face."I'll leave now, my lady. If you need anything, you can reach me through the phone on the desk or ring a bell." She bowed one last time before heading to the door."Wait!" The old lady stalled. "Send for one of the young maids. Tell her to get a pregnancy test kit as soon as possible." She rubbed the back of her neck and paced about the moment the door clicked.Pregnant?Biting at her fingers, Alexa mused, trying to put two and two together. She hadn't seen her period in two months. Alexa hadn't given it much thought because it fluctuated sometimes due to stress. It was also about two months ago that she'd had sex with Nolah without pills. Nolan hadn't also used protection that day. Her heart ra
CHAPTER 142Cold beads of sweat broke on Alexa's face, her face turned ashen, her lips trembled, and for a probable one minute, all she could do was stare. "C-Cody, what are you-""Miss me, Alexa?" Alexa's eyes fluttered, her throat dry and her body went stiff. Her eyes darted the moment her senses kicked in. She tried to use her fingers to communicate with the shop owner via sign language. Her body however jerked the moment Cody pulled out his gun. In the next minute, he grabbed he by the hair and pulled her to his front, forcing her to watch the moment he pulled the trigger and blew off the shop owner's brains. A shrill cry escaped from Alexa's lips and she fidgetted, body trembling. Her heart almost exploded as the briefly saw the lifeless body of the shop owner, a pool of blood around his head.Cody overpowered her, pulling her roughly into the van ahead, and Alexa's numb hand dropped the box that contained the pregnancy test kit. As soon as she was in the van, Cody tied her han
CHAPTER 143Nolan's POV It was a hectic work day for Nolan. He'd tried reaching Alexa that he would be coming late at night, but much to his surprise, she hadn't replied to his texts or calls. He'd been too busy to check on her again. Since it was already late at night, and he was heading home, he decided to see her at home instead. Nolan walked into his house and was surprised to meet an empty room. The bed wasn't made and Alexa's phone was lying right on it. He picked it up and saw that she hadn't used the phone since he texted and called her hours ago. "Alexa, Alexa." Nolan was quite aware that it was foolish of him to think that she was in the room, but he couldn't help calling her name. He marched to the second floor of his house, calling out her name. His face turned white, tendons stood out in his neck, and his muscles tightened. "Where is Alexa?" Nalon asked the old housekeeping staff whom he instructed to look after her."I-I-I don't know...She was in her room the last ti
CHAPTER 144Nolan made his way to the district officer's office, having confirmed the particular station handling the case. Filing a report and going through court processes would have been cumbersome and time-consuming for Nolan, who had no time. The district officer was initially a little reluctant to provide a copy of the CCTV footage in his custody, but after Nolan explained the situation of things, he immediately forgot about the usual due process of law. The officer slipped the disc into his laptop and Nolan subconsciously ran his hand down his pants legs, pupils dilating. About five minutes later, Nolah staggered, his lips parted, and he suddenly became dizzy. How could this be? It was Cody? The same man who killed his father? His lips suddenly went dry. Scared that he would slump down to the ground, the officer held him, pulling him down a chair. After some probable five minutes, Nolah regained composure, having quenched his thirst with a glass of water. Suddenly, his sens
CHAPTER 145“We will have to track down Cody but the only way we can do that is by waiting to get another call from him,” the police informed Cody. “Why should we have to wait to get his call?” Nolan asked, not sure of the terms.“We have a tracking device already, all we have to do is place it near the phone once he calls,” the police informed.Nolan nods his head as a sign to show that he now understood what they meant.“For now you have to get further evidence of the kidnapper and the relation of him with his father as it might give us a clue on why he continues to torment you,” the police demanded, giving Nolan the task of searching for more information. “Alright but why not commence a silent search and rescue them while we wait,” Nolan suggested to the police, they come to an agreement, after which Nolan goes back to the mansion to search for any clues of the hideaway or information.He goes into his father's home office for the first time since his father died. He rummages thr
