Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

CHAPTER 105

Alexa looked stunning as Anthony led her into the grand banquet hall. She wore a shimmering silver evening gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. The back of the dress was open, revealing her smooth, toned back. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her shoulders in loose waves, and she wore a pair of diamond earrings that sparkled with every move she made.

Anthony looked equally dashing in a tailored black suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and chiseled features. They made quite the power couple as they strode across the room, with all eyes on them.

Anthony made sure to introduce Alexa to all of his important investors, and she charmed them all with her quick wit and intelligence. Nolan watched from a far end of the banquet hall with his girlfriend, Kathy, who seemed to be jealous of the way he was looking at Alexa.

As the night wore on, Alexa and Anthony danced to the soft music that played in the background. He held her close, whispering sweet nothings into her ear, and she couldn’t help but be swept away by the romantic atmosphere.

Kathy’s eyes widened in shock, and she stormed off in a huff. Nolan watched the whole exchange with interest, but he didn’t say anything.

After a while, Anthony and Alexa retired to a quiet corner of the room, away from the hustle and bustle of the party. “I can’t believe how beautiful you look tonight,” he said, his eyes glinting with admiration.

Alexa blushed. “Thank you. You look pretty handsome yourself,” she replied, smiling.

As the night wore on, Alexa couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt when she caught Nolan’s eye. She knew that he still had feelings for her, and she didn’t want to hurt him. But at the same time, she couldn’t deny the attraction she felt towards Anthony. It was a complicated situation, and she didn’t know how to navigate it.

But for now, she was content to just enjoy the moment and let the rest sort itself out.

As Anthony left to grab drinks, Alexa stood alone, taking in the luxurious surroundings of the party. The ballroom was elegantly decorated with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the walls adorned with paintings and gold trimmings. She felt a little out of place among the wealthy and influential guests, but she stood confidently in her stunning dress.

Suddenly, she was approached by one of Anthony’s board of directors, a middle-aged man with a stern look on his face. “Excuse me, Miss,” he said, “may I ask what your relationship with Anthony is?”

Alexa was taken aback by the directness of the question. She hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. “We work together,” she finally managed to say, hoping it would suffice.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The man raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Is that all? Because it seems like there’s more going on between you two than just a professional relationship.”

Before Alexa could respond, Anthony appeared beside her, handing her a glass of champagne. “Is everything okay here?” he asked, eyeing the man suspiciously.

The board member quickly backed off, mumbling something about needing to check on another guest. Anthony put a reassuring arm around Alexa’s waist, pulling her close. “Don’t worry about him,” he whispered in her ear, “he’s just a nosy old man. Let’s go dance.”

Alexa smiled, grateful for his support. As they made their way to the dance floor, she couldn’t help but feel a rush of affection for him. He was kind, charming, and protective of her. She had never felt this way about anyone before.

As they danced, Anthony pulled her even closer, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. “You know, Alexa, I would do anything for you,” he said, his voice low and intimate. “I would die for you if need be. You mean everything to me.”

Alexa felt her heart skip a beat at his words. She had never had anyone talk to her like that before. It was both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. She was falling hard for Anthony, but she knew she had to be cautious. She didn’t want to end up hurt like she had in the past.

But for now, she pushed those thoughts aside and allowed herself to enjoy the moment. She looked up at Anthony and saw the genuine affection in his eyes. Maybe, just maybe, this time things would work out for her.
