Alexa sat at her desk, pen in hand, staring blankly at the paper in front of her. She knew what she wanted to say, but the words just wouldn’t come out right. Finally, after a long moment of silence, she began to write.
“Dear Anthony,
I don’t even know where to begin. I feel like such a fool for getting involved in all of this. I should have known better, I should have seen it coming. But I was blind, and now it’s too late. I’m sorry, Anthony. I’m sorry for everything.
I know you must hate me now, and I understand why. I lied to you about the pregnancy, and I’m sorry. I only did it to buy us some time to get out of that situation. I never meant to hurt you, but I know you must hate me now, and I understand why. I lied to you about the pregnancy, and I’m sorry. I only did it to buy us some time to get out of that situation. I never meant to hurt you, but I realize now that I did.
But there’s something else I need to tell you. Something that’s been weighing heavily on my conscience. I knew about the robbery, Anthony. I knew about it all along. Cody asked me to become a maid so he could use me and rob the house. I didn’t want to do it, but I was desperate for money. I didn’t know what else to do.
I’m so sorry, Anthony. I never meant for any of this to happen. I hope you can forgive me, even though I don’t deserve it. I realize now how naive you were, how close-minded you were towards Nolan. And I’m sorry for leading you on all this time. I should have been honest with you from the beginning.
But the truth is, Anthony, I choose to be with Nolan. I know it’s not what you wanted to hear, and I’m sorry for that too. But he needs me now, more than ever. He’s hurting, and I want to be there for him. I hope someday you can understand that.
I miss you, Anthony. I miss the way things used to be between us. But I know we can never go back to that. I hope you find happiness, and I hope someday you can forgive me.
With love and regret,
Alexa.”
Tears streamed down Alexa’s face as she finished the letter. She knew it was time to move on, to face the consequences of her actions. She folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and sealed it shut. She would mail it to Anthony in the morning, and then she would face whatever came next.
As Alexa dropped the necklace on top of the letter, she couldn’t help but feel the weight of her guilt pressing down on her. She knew she had to come clean to Anthony about everything that had happened, including her involvement in the robbery and her false pregnancy. She also had to apologize for leading him on and hurting him. It was the least she could do before leaving with Nolan.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Taking a deep breath, she placed the letter on his desk in his home office and walked out of the room. She knew it was time to face the consequences of her actions, no matter how difficult they may be.
As she made her way back to the mansion, her phone beeped with a message from Cody. Her heart sank as she read the words on the screen. He was going to rob the mansion, whether she liked it or not.
