"The only reason I haven't divorced you yet is because you still have my child inside of you, Alexa." > Jordan. Alexa's lips trembled and tears gathered in her eyes as she looked at her beloved husband in disbelief. "W-what?" * Three years of marriage with him was a big joke!

Lihat lebih banyakAlexa had just returned from a board meeting when she received a text from a strange number.Stepping into her office for privacy, her brows furrowed as she read the message on her phone.'I'll be at your office soon. Expect me.' Those were the context and Alexa couldn't help the frown that creased her features as she pondered who it was.Could it be Catherine or Ivy? But how had they obtained their number? Should that even be a question? She was acutely aware that they could have obtained her number by any means. But what did they want? And why come to her office after she already warned them against it the last time.Alexa was confused, nonetheless, she resolved to brush aside her concerns as she approached her desk. She still had so many tasks to carry on and couldn't afford to lazy around while she contemplated who had sent the strange message."Sapphire, any updates on Raven yet?" Alexa asked her assistant as she sank into the swivel chair, setting her phone away as she leaned cl
Luciana swallowed hard as Jordan's inquiry resonated in her ears. Her heart pounded in her chest and she felt her breath hitch for a second. However, she quickly composed herself as she needed to make her facade more convincing."What?" She muttered, her expression faltering as she held Jordan's stoic gaze."I asked you a damn question. Don't make me repeat myself," his tone was gruff as he warned her tersely.Just as Luciana had presumed earlier, Ivy had really filled Jordan in on what had transpired in the office the other day. In that moment, Luciana regretted why she even chose to pay Henry a visit on that particular day. That single mistake was about to cost her the love of her life and she couldn't let that happen."N- No," she denied, though her heart raced wildly as she remained under his intense gaze. He was glaring at her with eyes that could kill. Luciana could observe the fury in his orbs, she could only see that he didn't believe her response. However, she added in feign
A wave of panic coursed through Luciana as she made her way towards the States Prison. She hadn't been able to keep her mind at rest as she recalled what had transpired two days prior; when Ivy had met her in Henry's office. She already knew by now that Ivy must have already informed Jordan about what she had witnessed. Luciana couldn't afford Jordan getting the wrong idea. She needed to convince him before he changed his mind towards her good.Luciana had tried reaching out to Henry after what happened at the office but Henry had stopped taking any of her calls after he seriously made it clear to her that he wanted nothing to do with her again. He had basically threatened her that the next time she'd show up at his office unannounced, he would react in a way she wouldn't like. Luciana was already aware of what was going on. She knew Ivy must have said something to the family about what she saw. Given the election was at any moment now, the need for Ivy to sabotage it had heightened.
An overwhelming silence passed the table as everyone absorbed the revelation in shock. Everyone was surprised except for Catherine, who looked nonchalant as she continued eating her meal. She was already aware of Ivy's plans before now. "What?" Torrey retorted, prompting Ivy to nod in affirmation as their eyes met. "Yes, Father,""What nonsense!" Igris snapped, rising to her feet and pointing a finger at Ivy, her eyes burning with fury. "How dare you accuse my son like this?""Accuse?" Ivy scoffed derisively, shaking her head. "I'm accusing no one. He knows I'm telling the truth.""You're lying," Igris cut her off in annoyance."Hey, everybody calm down!" Torrey barked an order.Igris glared at Ivy hardly before resuming her seat, her annoyance palpable. She shook her head, obviously fuming as she turned her gaze from Ivy to Torrey.Meanwhile, Henry remained quiet as he contemplated his thoughts."Henry, Son," Torrey started calmly as he turned his face to Henry, who reciprocated hi
"You can send whatever you've found out so far to my office tomorrow, Johnny, I'll be at the company." Ivy's voice trailed off as she spoke into the phone.She was interrupted as her room door pushed open. She turned to see it was her mother who had just stepped in.Still on the phone, she listened intently to what the receiver was saying before she replied once more. "I need it urgently. Gather everything you can get on her... It's Luciana. She's very sly but still dumb. This should be easy, now get the fuck out of my phone," she stated firmly before hanging up without waiting for the other person's response."Mom," Ivy heaved a sigh as she ran her hand through her hair, her mind spiralling with several thoughts. However, she dismissed them, choosing to focus on her mother who was staring at her with an inquisitive gaze."Who was that?" Catherine asked as she approached Ivy's side."Johnny, one of my aids. I just asked him to find out what he can on Luciana and Henry's relationship."
"... I want to know, Alexa, the reason behind your hesitation..." His words echoed in her ears, making her heartbeat quicken as she pondered her thoughts.Alexa didn't realize she had gone eerily silent until Tyler's voice called out to her again."Hey, are you there?" His words sailing into her ears, she swallowed, snapping back to reality. "Yeah, I am." "So... What's the reason?" He questioned once more.A surge of annoyance coursed through Alexa as she sensed Tyler was controlling over the issue. For crying out loud, he had already handed full authority to he before he went on his trip so why the hell was he questioning her procedures now? Alexa mused.Nonetheless, she reserved her thoughts as she focused more on uncovering which of Jordan's family had reached out to Tyler and how much they'd told him. Judging by his sedate reaction, they mustn't have revealed to him that Jordan was her ex, and that was the reason she was reluctant to set him free. Alexa heaved a sigh at the tho
Alexa was swiping through the pages of the documents on her desk that Saturday morning when Elena entered her room with a tray of food. Her concentration was disrupted as she lifted her gaze to match Elena's, who was now approaching her after she gently closed the door behind her.Alexa heaved out a sigh, taking a momentary break as she let go of the paperwork and leaned back in her swivel chair, her eyes fixated on Elena who was now placing the tray on the desk."Hey," Alexa called out softly, stealing a glance at the cup of coffee and treats Elena had brought for her.It was past 11 am and she was yet to have breakfast as she was so busy that morning. She had refused to join Elena and the kids for breakfast that morning, citing she would do so soon enough. But seeing Alexa wasn't keeping to her words, Elena had resolved to bring her the food instead."You need to eat," Elena stated tersely as she took a seat from across Alexa's.Alexa sighed, massaging her temples. "I know. I will.
After the conclusion of the meeting with Jordan, Ivy returned home that day. She had left behind a shocked Jordan. Although she wasn't certain of her accusations of Luciana, she was reluctant to give her the benefit of the doubt. During her years living with Jordan while he had been married to Luciana, she had to realize that Luciana was a cunning and manipulative woman, who could twist her way into and out of anything.Ivy had decided to look into the matter further. She would carry out a thorough investigation and find out what was really going on between Henry and Luciana. Jordan hadn't told her anything tangible regarding his relationship with Luciana or what mission he had sent her on that landed her in Henry's office. Ivy couldn't understand why he was withdrawing that information from her but one thing she knew for sure was that she was going to uncover Luciana's secrets. That bitch couldn't be trusted."You're back," Catherine's voice sailed into Ivy's ears as she stepped int
A wave of panic coursed through Luciana, prompting her to back away from Henry as her eyes locked with Ivy's shocked ones."What the fuck is going on here?" Ivy's instant demand caused her heart to race with trepidation as a gulp walked down her throat.Luciana's throat ran dry, her breath hitching as she tried to form a meaningful response. She stole a glance at Henry and noticed the shocked expression disappearing from his face and being replaced by a nonchalant one.Returning her gaze to Ivy, Luciana's heart hammered in her chest as she absorbed the glare Ivy directed at her."Hello, Ivy," Luciana spoke up after a moment, breaking the tension and trying her best to be as casual as possible.But Ivy wasn't buying any of that. Instead, she eyed Luciana suspiciously, her eyes roaming her body and registering the outfit she was putting on. Ivy shook her head in disapproval, a look of disgust marring her face as she redirected her gaze at Luciana. "I cannot believe this...""You cannot
"Darling, when are you going to divorce her? Now that I'm here, I can't bear the thought of sharing you with any other woman, talk more of living under the same roof with her." Alexa halted in her tracks as she caught the sultry and familiar tone of a woman's voice echoing through the walls of her matrimonial bedroom. She remained fazed as she stood outside the door, questioning if she had truly heard what she thought she had. Her skepticism dissipated when the velvety voice of her beloved husband, filled with reassurance and tenderness, followed in response to the other woman."Come on, sweetheart, you know Alexa is still pregnant with my child. I've told you before that once she gives birth, I'll divorce her and send her away, I promise."And in that moment, it dawned on Alexa that she was truly the subject of their conversation. WTF!She remained momentarily frozen to the spot, her mind spinning with conflicting thoughts as she was struck dumb with disbelief and confusion. She cou...
