Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

159

Alexa had been carrying the burden of not telling her son Anthony about his father for so long. She knew that Nolan hated her for what happened between them, but she still wanted Anthony to know the truth about his biological father. She had talked about it with her best friend Jade and decided to take matters into her own hands.

Days had passed since Alexa wrote the letter to Nolan, and she had been anxiously waiting for his reply. She kept checking her phone for any email or message from him, but there was nothing. She even checked her mailbox day and night, hoping to see a letter from him. But as the days went by, she slowly accepted the fact that Nolan might never respond.

Alexa felt heartbroken and disappointed, but she knew that it was what she had expected from him. She had made peace with the fact that Nolan hated her, and that she had to do what was right for her son. Instead of moping around her apartment, she decided to spend the weekend with her kids and Jade.

Alexa had saved up enough to take all four of them to an amusement park, and to treat the kids. Anthony and Dove played and had ridden the kiddie rides, while Jade won most of the gambling games to win prizes for the kids. Alexa attempted to win, but failed miserably.

It was by midnight when Alexa was surprised that the kids were allowed to ride the ferris wheel. She buys tickets for all four of them, and as they got inside, her son Anthony asks Alexa out of nowhere if his dad is up with the stars with Dove’s daddy.

Jade is surprised as well, and Dove looks at Alexa curiously. Alexa clears her throat and tells Anthony that his father is in fact with the stars. He is still too busy to be with them, and that she tried to contact him and let him know that he exists.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Anthony asks Alexa if he could meet his dad so that he could ask him to adopt Jade and Dove into the family. This made Jade cry, and Dove yells at Anthony for making her mom cry. Alexa wipes a tear and tells Anthony that she will try to contact his dad again so that he can have Dove and Aunt Jade be with him as long as he wants to.

As the kids fell asleep when the ferris wheel settled down, Alexa drives them back to the apartment.

As they approached the apartment building, Alexa saw a man sitting by the front doorstep, looking at her with tear-filled eyes. She didn’t recognize him at first, but as she got closer, she realized that it was Nolan. He looked at her and then looked at the small boy she held in her arms.

Nolan pulled out the photo of Anthony that Alexa had sent along with the letter and asked if that was him. Alexa began to cry and nod. Nolan looked at her and said, “I’m sorry, Alexa. I shouldn’t have left you like that. I’ve missed out on so much.”

Alexa was speechless, and she couldn’t believe what was happening. Nolan continued, “Can I meet him, Alexa? Can I meet my son?”

Alexa couldn’t believe her ears, and she felt a mix of emotions. She was happy that Nolan was finally taking responsibility, but she was also scared of what might happen. She didn’t know if Anthony was ready to meet his father, and she didn’t know how Nolan would react to seeing him after all these years.
