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 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 146ALEXA'S POVThree nights had passed and Cody was becoming more impatient. He paced around in anger, trying to think of what to do.In anger, he grabbed my weak and bruised body and brought his mouth close to my ears. “Can you see now that Nolan doesn't give a damn about you? He doesn't care about you, that's how these wealthy people behave. You left me just because of him and now, you can see the grave consequences playing before your eyes,” Cody said as he dropped me on the floor in frustration.I yelped in pain, and I was terrified of what else he could do in anger. Nolan can't possibly leave me, I know he loves me and can do anything to save me.“Nolan would come to save me, I knew that. And if he fails to come, I'll make sure I save myself from this mess and come back to hunt you down. You will beg at my feet for mercy, Cody,” I voiced out with all the strength left it in me.“Whoa, I love that boldness and certainty. If you really think you can get out of here and co

Chapter 148ALEXA'S POVAfter the shootout, the police had called the paramedics. One of them attended to me, to treat the wounds and bruises that Cody had inflicted me with. I observed my environment as other paramedics combed the area and picked up the dead bodies.I could see that they were the bodies of the men that inflicted pain on me. They had beaten me and made me see hell on earth. During those times, I had thought I was going to die but thankfully, I was strong until the end.I noticed a body bag that they were carrying with ease. It was Cody's dead body, I looked at him, gave him a spiteful look. If I had not withdrawn from these bad ways, this would have been my end too.Thank goodness that I left those sinful ways. I looked away as they carried his body into the vehicle. Then I began to worry about Nolan.Nolan wasn't able to save me, and he hasn't come to see me. I'm sure he knew that I was saved already, or could he be planning something?Not long after I thought about

CHAPTER 150He slowly moved his hands around her as he moved her closer to himself, she could see the hesitation in his eyes as he slowly moved his hands around her and it broke her slightly.She placed her hands slightly on his shoulders as she looked into his eyes.“Nolan?” She called slightly, like a woman playing the role of a seductress.“Alexa” he called back before finally speaking up. “Are sure about this?” He asked her and she sighed as she cupped his face with her hands, smiling slightly as she stared at him.“Yes, I am. There’s no need to worry” she told him.He smiled, it was all he ever wanted to hear and before she could speak again, he turned her over on the bed as he slowly started to caress her lips, slamming his lips right against hers as he thrusted his tongue right into her already open mouth.She let out a slight moan as he cupped her breasts with his hand, unhooking her bralet as he did so. She let out slight moans, turning him on. The night was so pleasurable
