ALEXA’S POV
It’s been over thirty minutes now since an angry Nolan kicked me out of the room. What should I do? Call Mr. Brown and inform him about the situation? How can I tell him that his stubborn son has refused to acknowledge his call? Should I go back to the room to call him again? Perhaps a second try might work.
I turned around to take a step towards his room when the door opened, Nolan was dressed in a jean trouser and a white T-shirt which made me raise a brow.
“Took you long enough” I muttered and he glared at me. Oops! I guess he must have heard me.
“So she’s the bitch who got herself invited into your room huh?” The snarky voice of the lady who I assumed was his girlfriend met my ears and I rolled my eyes the moment I turned away from them.
“I will be right back babe” Nolan said and went back into the room.
“Listen and listen carefully” the lady without a name yet, who I would call Nolan’s girlfriend, said pulling my hair slightly which made me yelp out in pain.
“Nolan is mine. Mine! Mine alone. I could clearly see you eyeing him up but just so you know, a lowlife like you wouldn’t attract him”
“He goes for ladies with class and that is why he is with me, so I would advise you to keep your strength and focus on the thrash you can attract '' she finally left my hair and I glared at her. If looks could kill, I guess we both would have been dead by now.
“Nolan is a pig and way below my standards, don’t worry, he is yours and I don’t attract his type of thrash” I said and I walked away from her.
I was fuming, who does she think she is to say such words to me? The only reason I am tolerating her is because I promised Cody, I will wait to get this over and done with.
“Miss. Martin,” a man in a black suit called out and when I saw him standing close to a car, I knew he might be the driver Mr. Anthony had spoken about.
“I would just wait for Nolan… Mr. Nolan to arrive” I said and waited, patiently tapping my foot on the floor.
Soon later, Nolan and his Barbie girlfriend decided to grace us with their presence.
Nolan opened the door and the moment I saw Barbie stepping into the car, I couldn’t help to control my mouth as I voiced out.
“Why is she coming along? I don’t think there was a time your father mentioned she was coming” I said.
“And I am not seeking for your permission or that of my father’s to bring her along with me” he glared.
“Whatever, that ain't my business anyways” I scoffed and turned to take the front seat when he pulled me back.
“And Alexa, the next time you barge into my room again then trust me, you wouldn’t like the outcome” he warned.
“Am I understood?” He questioned in a bold tone that got goosebumps on my arm.
“Yes,” I muttered silently.
“Good” he said then got into the car, I stood for some seconds before I finally got into the car.

The arrival to the Brown’s construction inc. made me open my mouth as I stared in awe. Just how rich were these people? I glanced at the rear view mirror at the arrogant pompous ass who doesn’t know what it means to work rather than to insult people.
I caught his gaze and I instantly returned my gaze back to the buildings.
I don’t know what was making me act like this, the moment I caught his gaze the image of him naked and his hardened length came to mind.
The door opened and for the millionth time today I have been lost in my thoughts.
I quickly got out of the car and Mr. Rude and Barbie came out of the car.
Mr. Rude took up the lead and I guess he already knew where we were going so I just followed him while I admired the building at the same time.
We arrived at the front of a door which had a boldly written Mr. Brown on the golden template that was at the top.
“Oh welcome, Alexa” Mr. Anthony said and threw a nod to his son and Barbie, since he didn’t say anything about her being present I got rested.
“I can see you and your Nanny are having a good relationship” Mr. Brown said and Nolan scoffed which made me roll my eyes.
“She is intruding on my privacy, father,” he said.
“Does she go to the bathroom with you?” He asked in which Nolan replied no.
“Does she stay in the same room with you?” He asked.
“No father”
“So then how is she intruding if I may ask?” He asked.
“In a lot of ways you wouldn’t think, first she came into my room without my permission…”
“With reasons okay, I knocked countless times but you weren’t answering the door which left me no choice than to go in” I defended, he was making it sound as if I got into the room on purpose.
“Oh will you cut the crap! That wasn’t your intention!” He yelled at me.
“Oh really? Pray tell me what it is then?” I scoffed.
“That is enough you two!” Mr. Anthony yelled, grabbing our attention.
“It’s okay babe, she’s just an attention seeking whore” Barbie said and I glanced at Mr. Anthony who shot me a pleading look.
“I have come up with a decision, in order for her to do her work efficiently and effectively, she would have to reside in the house with us,” he said.
“Wha?!”
“Hell no!”
ALEXA'S POV Mr. Brown holds up his hand to stop Nolan and his girlfriend's protest, clearing his throat as he stands up from his seat. I could sense Barbie girl snarling beside me before Mr. Brown could speak."Nolan, how many times do I have to dictate to you Alexa's responsibility as your nanny?" Mr. Brown's tone ran cold, evidently losing his patience as he stared at Nolan intently."Father, how many times do I have to make myself clear to you? I don't need this bitch!" Nolan yells, loud enough to be heard by a few employees outside Mr. Brown's office."Calm down babe, it's alright. Let me handle this," His obnoxious Barbie girl cooed to him as she rubbed his heaving chest. I look up at her in amusement after hearing her words and see her turning towards Mr. Brown to speak, Nolan had already sat down behind her noticeably gritting his teeth."Err, Dad-""No one calls me that, Dear, stick with Mr. Brown" Mr. Brown cuts her off, his stone remaining cold as well as his look."Alrig
Chapter 7'And that's it then,' I thought to myself as I put my luggage at the back of the car.Cody waved goodbye to me as I turned my gaze at him, hoping he would make a step toward me to stop me from leaving. "I'll miss you!" Cody yelled before the car door slammed closed by the driver. "Sure you would"The drive back to the mansion took a lot more time than I had expected but it wasn't eventful. The sun had already begun to hide and the night flew in slowly, following the transition from city to suburban. Looking out of the window beside me, I couldn't help myself from thinking back at how hot Nolan was. His body had a firm build that I was surprised he was hiding, especially his huge plaything. Wait, what- you have a boyfriend...Shaking my head to think clearly, I noticed the driver is already starting to park the car at the garage. I see a glimpse of Mr. Brown standing at the garage entrance and waiting patiently. Making my way out of the car, the driver made his way to ge
ALEXA'S POV "Oh! Oh god- I am so sorry, sir" I covered my eyes immediately as I realized I've been caught staring."No, no- It's alright," I hear him chuckle as I turn around embarrassed.As I was about to take my leave, I felt his hand touch my shoulder and he stopped me from leaving.“What were you doing out of your room?” His voice was calm with a hint of curiosity in them. “I couldn’t sleep, sir, I just thought it would be alright to wander around in your house- I mean, mansion,” I still couldn't take up the courage to turn around and face him, but his hold was forcing me to do so. His gaze met mine and I was trying hard not to panic under his hold. "Hey, why are you so tense? It's alright wandering around for the first time. You just startled me with your presence," He smiles as he pats my shoulder and walks to the side.He grabs a towel from the tanning bench and makes his way to the bar at the furthest side from the pool, but before he could go any farther from me he turn
For a while, my suspicions about this woman had me discover I was wrong about her. Maybe my doubts had led me to realize that I and her are alike.She's someone who lost her life to building someone else's. I lost mine when I lost the one person who built mine."What makes you say that, sir?" I turn away from her as I try not to remind myself of the past.She has such a close resemblance to her, even just her voice ties in hauntingly."You and I are more alike than you could imagine," I chuckle under my breath as the memories I've pushed down slowly crept back up from the surface of my mind."That's why I hired you, you took the job wholeheartedly and I knew then that my son needed a mother figure from how you brought yourself into the room until you left…" But deep down, I knew I felt her in you. "But, if an opportunity comes during your job here… I hope you don't hesitate to take it, because you have the potential to be somewhere else," I remember her saying that to me, my wife wh
As I cut between the sandwiches I had prepared for Mr. Rude, I place them neatly on their plate by a tray. Thanking Cassey for her assistance, I toom the tray with me on my way to Nolan's room where he had called me earlier.His room was as I had last seen it, the after he had a nice arrangement with his girlfriend. God, if only he wasn't so arrogant and bitchy, he could preferably be my type. Spotting him by his balcony, I see him engrossed with his work on a floorplan. His hand is extraordinarily skilled with such detail, I wonder it's the reason why he holds himself at arms length with people. Artist and their non-sociable affairs. "What are you staring for?" Nolan says, not even taking a glance to turn to me. "Nothing, just admiring your work from behind" As I replied, I hear him scoffs at my word as if it were an insult to him."What's that for?" I asked as I set the tray by an empy spot on another table, not to have it hit and ruin his work."Architecture project, I couldn't
ALEXA’S POVStartled by the sudden appearance of Nolan’s father and the drama ready to play out in the mansion, I hid myself behind the door to witness what was going on. The atmosphere in there was hot, I could feel it. Nolan set aside his work for floor plan of a home which he was working on, ready to give his dad the floor.”We need to talk”, Anthony said. Without second guesses, Nolan knew his father has come to have the usual “talk” ready to try to make him understand for the millionth times that his business isn’t his business, he reluctantly said “yes, we can talk”“Freedom will lead you to your end. Nolan, you can’t lead a life full of carelessness if you cannot find a way to control yourself, you’ll be an aimless kite with no one to guide you” Anthony spoke with rage. He never holds a peaceful conversation with his son; it always ends in fights and arguments. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if he truly loves his son like he always says and claims. Nolan amazed by what his fat
ALEXA’S POVI shut my eyes so tight ready to take the abuse from my boss. I waited patiently for some seconds to get butchered but nothing occurred. Slightly, I opened my left eye only to sight his hand hung in the air.“Forget it” he sighed.I was relieved.He threw the ceramic on the floor, slowly smashing it into bits while in tears. I didn’t try to act the good character but instead I stayed calm and watched him stop sobbing. Nolan was the kind of man who does not hide his emotions. The stereotype of men who cries or shows emotions has nothing to do with him. He would always feel whatever whenever.“Alexa, I ask that you take me seriously this time” he spoke calmlyHe continued “have you ever felt like you’re being controlled like a puppet?” “I feel like I am being domineering at the moment”I wondered what brought about the question. The look on his face clearly showed that he was sincerely asking.“Not really” I said bluntly, looking into his eyes trying to appear convincing.My
"Things will turn out better soon; your father is only looking out for you. There's no fuss about it all. You should consider taking things bit by bit and watch everything work out positively" she saidShe might have said something worth hearing but I wasn't moved. I was still discouraged. I have been putting up with my father's cold acts towards me since the day I made it known to him that I'd rather pursue my passion for music than take over his company. I doubt if he'd ever be less uptight with me if eventually I end up not taking the path he took"Lies. Alexa, you're saying this simply because you're being paid to." I pointed outNo one would ever speak ill of their employer unless he's ready to loose his job. The Alexa I know to some extent isn't financially stable, she'd do anything to keep her job."This isn't lies. You can actually be both of the same worlds if you wish to"She watched me closely like she was putting me under a spell. Alexa would say anything to prove her poi
