All Chapters of The Alpha Heiress in Disguise: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Nico looked like a man preparing to confront the greatest enemy of his life.It wasn’t Kieran, Charles, or any student at the academy.It was much worse.A romance novel he had borrowed from the library several hours ago.He sat on the edge of his bed with a small pink and gold paperback held between his fingers as though the book might suddenly bite him. His brows were drawn together so tightly they nearly touched, and every few seconds, he narrowed his eyes at a sentence, trying to figure out what the author expected him to understand.His lips parted, his expression twisting with genuine horror.“Why is he staring at her ’like she hung the moon’” He muttered under his breath, “What the hell does that even - why would anyone stare at someone like that? Why are there so many feelings in this thing?”He sounded completely baffled as he reluctantly turned another page.“Isn’t he just supposed to say what he wants? What’s with all the confusion and overthinking a hug for three pages?”N

There had always been something strange about the feelings that came over Nico whenever Hellcat was around. He could trace the beginning back to the moment she had walked into the Greenhouse and hidden behind the overturned desk. Someone had disturbed his peace. At first, he had no idea what was happening to him. He only knew that every encounter with her seemed to leave something behind. Every argument, every irritating exchange, every morning when he woke up and found her looking back at him, his heart would give an unexpected leap. It had been easy to ignore at first. Then it became impossible. He had tried to push the feelings aside. He had tried to build more walls around himself, convince himself that Hellcat was nothing more than an annoying roommate, and get her out of his thoughts. Somehow, the more he tried, the more curious he became. Where was she? Who was she with? What was she doing? He wanted to know things he had never cared about before. Then came t

The woman drove away in horror, and Daniela continued glaring after her until the car disappeared down the road.When she finally turned around, Nico had finished pumping the gas. He stood beside the motorcycle with his arms crossed, wearing the most irritatingly satisfied smile she had ever seen.Daniela’s angry expression immediately melted into embarrassment.She lowered her face.“You’re jealous,” Nico stated.She refused to look at him.That lasted until he stepped closer, gently lifted her chin, and made her meet his eyes. He looked far too pleased with himself, and there was a strange sparkle in his eyes that she had never seen before.“You don’t have to be,” He continued softly, “I’m with you, and no one else, remember?”Heat spread across Daniela’s face.She gave a small nod.For one dangerous second, she wanted to lean forward and kiss him right there. She wanted everyone who had been staring at him to know that he was with her.She almost did.Perhaps Nico somehow knew exac

They arrived at a small cottage beside a narrow stream in the early evening. As soon as Daniela climbed off the motorcycle, she turned slowly to take in her surroundings.The cottage stood in the middle of a beautiful green field, with a wide stretch of land extending far behind it. The breeze was cool and fresh against her skin, carrying the clean scent of grass and flowing water. Everything about the place felt peaceful. It was simple, quiet, and somehow perfect.She had expected Nico to live in some enormous mansion, especially after everything she had learned about him. Instead, this was nothing like what she had imagined.“This is where you live?” She asked as she got down from the bike, gazing in awe.“Yeah,” He replied, watching her stare around.“This is so serene,” She said softly, “It’s wonderful,”A small smile appeared on his face before he led her toward the cottage and opened the door.The inside was just as modest as the outside, but there was something warm and comfort

The night sky was breathtaking. Daniela had never seen so many stars scattered across the darkness before, and their faint light seemed to reflect beautifully in Nico’s dark eyes. She found herself staring at him longer than she should have, quietly wishing she could stay like this forever.It was such a shame that they could never be together.“Can I ask you a deep question?” She broke the silence.Nico looked back at her, and Daniela gave him a small, gentle smile. He seemed to consider her question for a few seconds before finally nodding.“What do you think about Charles’s…new betrothal…?”He kept his eyes on her for a moment before reaching over and carefully tucking a loose strand of hair away from her face.“Daniela Blackthorn From the Crimson Vanguard,”Her pulse jumped the moment he said her name.For one ridiculous second, Daniela thought he was talking about her. Then she remembered that she had specifically asked about Charles’s new betrothal, and Nico was simply answering
