Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Chapter 32 (1005)

ANTHONY’S POV

They begin to apply lotions and body treatments on Alexa and massage her shoulders before taking out her hair clips. The whole time they both chat away at each other, Alexa occasionally responding with a small response while nodding her head. As soon as the female spa worker finished applying the lotion to Alexa, she left.

“So you like the spa, Miss? We haven’t started yet!” The staff exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, it’s pretty nice. Thank you…” she replies as she stares at the door the spa staff had exited through, she was looking at the direction which the staff had exited through.

“Now for your massage, you have been complaining for quite awhile and I decided I needed to give you a massage since you are being so stiff during the massage. So relax! We’re not hurting you!” The lady said enthusiastically as she begins to apply moisturising oil onto Alexa’s hands before massaging them gently.

Alexa closes her eyes as her face relaxed. She seemed to enjoy the massage and enjoyed it a bit too much.

“Thank you,” she murmurs to the lady who smiles widely at her.

“Oh my god, this feels amazing!” She exclaims as the massage goes on.

“Yeah it does…” I agreed, watching them as they continue their massage.

After that session, I wasn’t expecting her to deal with me for far too long. I know she is hiding something from me, but I feel I have to come at her intamately to make her talk. I can’t lay a finger on what she is up to but I know there is something he is hiding.

“Alexa, you told me you have a brother right… How are you both related to each other?” I turn to her as I could sense her tense up.

“Why, we aren’t totally related to one another…” She stammers, looking at me confused.

“I had a closer look at your data with a friend, you were an only child.. Is that correct?”

I cannot stall any longer with this woman, it’s either I know whether to trust her inside my house or I don’t.

“I am , sir” She looks away from me and settles her drink on her lap.

“Then why did you tell me you have a brother, was that just to convince me?”

I wasn’t expecting her reacting that came next but as soon as I said those words, she looks at me disgustedly .

“Sir, I did not come from a valley-like start in life… Did you really I would lie to you with something so obvious?” I sat there amused at her defence.

I could be stepping on the wrong foot here but I know she is hiding something from me.

“I do have a brother, but not blood related. Is that why you’ve come all your way to invited me over for a spa day to interrogate me?”

I put my lips into a thin line as I couldn’t think of a response to tell her.

I don’t believe her, nor do I think she really is lying. But why do I suddenly feel like crap for manipulating her like this?

“What happened between you and your brother? How did you two meet, and how is he?” I ask curious to where exactly we’re going.

She stays silent, staring deep into my eyes as she continues.

“My brother was in a gang, a violent gang. I met him when his parents brought him down at the orphanage because they couldn’t control him any longer, I was the only person he could hang on to. From then on, things escalated… Things got escalated and then downhill after the orphanage ran down, we had no where else to go… I had to take up jobs while he had to make ends meet with his criminal acts, but do I have a choice when all we have is each other?” My eyebrows crease slightly, her story was strange but interesting.

“I’m sorry,”

“You should be…” She snaps at me before chugging the wine empty.

“Look I think we got off on the wrong end here, I’m sorry… It had just been on my mind for a while since I thought it was suspicious you had a brother even though it said you were an only child.” I looked over to her apologetically before sighing.

“It’s alright but I hope you wont keep asking questions about him whenever we meet, I’m afraid that my memories are hazy from everything but my first impression of him was that he was kind and friendly but very scary,” She shivers slightly as if talking about him still brings fear and dread, and that I understood her pain. “I know he can’t help it. His nature is that way, it always has been that way since birth.

He’s never hurt anybody unless he wanted to. The only time he ever did anything bad, was when he found out I came home late,” She explains.

I listen attentively to her explanation and nod, it seems like my guess of her relationship with her brother were right afterall.

Her eyes widen a bit as soon as she realized what I knew.

“Wait, you knew? Why didn’t you tell me that?” She questioned me.

She was mad I didnt tell her what I found out and that made me uncomfortable.

“Don’t worry, I’m not firing you for not telling me you aren’t related… I just hope the two of you figure out your relationship as siblings,” I responded, hoping that she won’t be angry.

She lets out a frustrated sigh and gets up, standing on her feet.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and a woman’s voice calls out.

Just before the door opened, she turned around towards me once more and gave me a small smile.

“I forgive you,” I nod my head at her as she finally opens the door to let the lady in.

“That’s our last session…” I say quietly before turning to face her.
