Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

CHAPTER 98

Cody quickly replied, “Great! I’m glad it went well. Listen, we need to meet up and go over the plan soon.”

Alexa sighed, feeling a sense of dread wash over her. She knew she couldn’t avoid Cody forever. “Sure, when do you want to meet?”

“How about tonight?” Cody replied. “We can go over the plan and make sure everything’s in place. Meet me at the usual spot at 8 PM.”

Alexa didn’t want to go, but she knew she had to. She didn’t want to let Cody down, but she also didn’t want to get caught up in something illegal. However, before she could respond, her phone rang. It was Anthony.

“Hey beautiful,” Anthony said on the other end. “How was shopping?”

Alexa felt guilty for thinking about selling the clothes Anthony had bought her. “It was good. I got everything I needed,” she lied.

“That’s great. Listen, I’m going to be busy with work for the next few days, so I won’t be able to see you. But I wanted to make sure you’re taken care of. Did you need anything else?”

Alexa felt a twinge of guilt again. “No, I’m good. Thanks, Anthony.”

“Okay, well, I’ll talk to you soon. Love you.”

“Love you too,” Alexa said before hanging up.

As the car pulled up to her house, Alexa couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt. She knew she had to make a decision about Cody’s plan. She didn’t want to disappoint him, but she also didn’t want to betray Anthony’s trust. It was a difficult position to be in, but she knew she had to choose one way or the other.

She entered the house and noticed a package lying on the table. It was from Nolan.

Alexa’s heart leapt with excitement as she opened the package.

Inside was a book from her favorite author, along with a note that read, “Thinking of you. Miss you.”

Alexa felt her heart skip a beat. Nolan’s simple gesture made her feel special in a way that no amount of fancy clothes or jewelry could.

She knew what she had to do. She had to tell Cody she was out of the plan and risk disappointing him, and she had to tell Anthony the truth about her feelings towards him. It was a risk, but it was one she was willing to take for the sake of her own happiness.

Later that night, Alexa met with Cody at the usual spot. “Listen, Cody,” she said, taking a deep breath. “I’m out. I can’t be a part of this. It’s too risky.”

Cody looked disappointed, but he understood. “Okay, I get it. Thanks for letting me know.”

As Alexa drove home, she thought about what she needed to do next.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she was determined to be honest with Anthony. She had to tell him about Nolan and the way she truly felt about him. It was scary, but it was also liberating.

The next day, Alexa met up with Anthony and told him the truth.
