Upon answering the phone, Alexa started. "Hey, Elena... What's up?""Mommy, where are you?" The innocent wail of a toddler greeted Alexa, causing her heart to flutter with warmth and amusement as she recognized the voice of her son.Bringing the phone closer to her ear, she grinned as she answered. "Hey, baby, how are you?""I'm fine, Mommy. Are you coming now? We've been waiting for you ever since." He lamented, his voice filled with disappointment.Alexa quickly apologized, trying to pacify the toddler. "Oh, I'm sorry, honey, I'm on my way now, okay? Where is your sister?""She's here." He replied reassuringly. "Aunt's here too."Alexa nodded. "Okay, okay, that's alright. Let your aunt know I'm on my way now. Love you, baby,""Love you too, Mommy." The toddler replied before the line beeped, signaling the end of the phone call.Alexa couldn't help but chuckle with amusement as she slipped her phone back into her bag. The boy she had just spoken with was her son, one of the fraternal
Oh my gosh!" Elena grunted, waves of annoyance and frustration washing the excitement off her features. She rolled her eyes, shaking her head in disapproval as she turned to Alexa. "What? You promised! Are you being serious right now?""I know. I know, I'm sorry. I didn't expect it either. My assistant just informed me on my way out." Alexa apologized, softly grasping Elena's hand in an attempt to pacify her. She understood why she was upset. Heck, they'd been planning the trip since the twins clocked two, and up till now, they hadn't been able to embark on that journey as Alexa was always busy with work."Oh, no, no, I really wished we could go without you," Elena huffed, sighing heavily with frustration."Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, Elena. I promise. Right after this case, we'll go. Hmm?" Alexa tried to convince her but Elena knew that was another lie."That's what you always say... It never happens." Elena palmed her face and drew in a deep breath before exhaling. She shrugged eventua
They arrived at their home a few minutes later. Elena helped take the kids inside while Alexa carried the groceries they had bought on their way home.Alexa let out a heavy exhale of relief as she stepped into her home, a cozy apartment with three bedrooms. It was a bungalow house located on the outskirts of the City. Alexa had chosen to buy that particular house because it was away from the town, as she was intent on keeping a low profile. They've been living comfortably in that abode for the past three years since Alexa and Elena had acquired their jobs. They were happy there. It was a peaceful and safe environment.While Elena escorted the kids to their bedroom, Alexa headed toward the kitchen to unpack. They had a shared routine and she was mostly in charge of kitchen duties."Mommy," One of the toddlers called, causing Alexa, who had been busy unpacking the goods, to shift her gaze downward to meet Blair's sad orbs.Alexa felt a pang in her chest upon meeting her pitiful gaze and
Several distressing thoughts twirled in Alexa's mind as she faced her daughter's demand. How was she to explain things to her better understanding? She was still too young to comprehend any of it. What was she supposed to say in this situation?As if on cue, Elena walked into them in the kitchen and witnessed the scene unfolding. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she met Alexa's gaze which was directed at her from the toddler's shoulder.She mouthed in confusion. "What is happening?"Alexa made an I'm just as confused as you are' face before averting her gaze. She eventually extracted herself from the toddler's embrace and cupped her cheeks, staring into her pity-filled orbs. Gosh, she felt her heart twinge at the sight."Blair, baby, you need to understand, Mommy, okay?" Alexa started gently, her thumb grazing the toddler's puffy cheek. "Daddy is away for the time being and I have no idea when he'd be coming back. Do you want to know the truth? I haven't heard from your Dad in a whi
Alexa was struck dumb with disbelief for a moment, unable to believe her eyes. Her hands holding the paperwork, slightly trembled as she grappled with the situation. Jordan had been charged with embezzlement? And not just that, but his case had been assigned to her as well. What? Think about the twist of fate. How the heck had this happened? Alexa couldn't help but wonder.Her brows were furrowed in a deep frown, and her lips pressed to a thin line as she reeled back from shock. Her gaze fell on the photos once more, a stark reminder of the fact that her eyes weren't playing tricks with her. It was indeed her ex-husband, Jordan Salvador, who had been convicted and, as fate would've it, who had also fallen under her care.Alexa contemplated her thoughts for a moment, still bewildered by the whole revelation. She couldn't quite comprehend how Jordan's affairs had been placed under her care. Nonetheless, she was acutely aware that her colleagues did not know about her initial relationshi
"He's currently in custody. You should be there by noon. Is that alright, Lexa?" Tyler added sedately, his voice pulling Alexa from her thoughts. She blinked weakly and nodded like he could see her. "Yeah, yeah. That's alright. I got it." She replied despite her insides unraveling with nerves. She was feeling skeptical as she hadn't anticipated the interrogation with her ex-husband to be on this day. She contemplated asking Tyler for a postponement, but she quickly pushed aside those thoughts, reassuring herself that there was no need to feel daunted. It wasn't her first time interrogating a convict. Yes, that's what Jordan was now. Just a convict and the man, whose blood ran in her children's DNA. There wasn't more attached to it. Alexa mused.There was a brief pause on the other end before Tyler's voice came through again, this time laced with softness, in contrast to his earlier formal tone."Hey, Lexa." He called out to Alexa, prompting her to snap from her daze. She held the ph
Alexa felt a great surge of thrill course through her body as she stared at Jordan, who mirrored her gaze with astonishment. Despite the torrent of emotions flooding through her upon seeing him again, her facial expression gave nothing away. She remained inscrutable, her gaze directed at him in a cold, calculating glare. On the other hand, Jordan struggled to comprehend who he was actually staring at. For a fleeting moment, he had thought he might just be hallucinating Alexa to be the one, but the familiar, sweet scent of her perfume soon diffused into his nostrils, confirming that it was indeed his ex-wife, Alexa McKanne; the woman whom he had been searching for relentlessly all this while. Jordan reeled with disbelief as he locked eyes with her. Though her eyes were devoid of the usual warmth they held four years ago, he was elated to see her again regardless. "Alexa..." Jordan muttered once more, his lips parting with shock but she simply chose not to acknowledge him. Alexa was a
Alexa paused upon hearing his question. The sincerity and warmth in his voice penetrated her defenses, stirring a flutter in her heart, though her face remained impassive. She hesitated, biting her lower lip hard as she lost herself in thought for a few seconds, her gaze distant. Despite the unease it caused, she felt a shiver of excitement under Jordan's focused stare.Nonetheless, she maintained her composure, determined not to let him see that his words still affected her. With a steadying breath, she turned her frosty gaze back to him."I would appreciate it if you refrained from addressing me in such a casual manner, Mr. Salvador. We have no connection whatsoever. Please do not act as if we were ever acquainted. Is that clear?" she stated firmly.Jordan was momentarily rendered speechless by her words. Her cold demeanor and harsh tone shattered his heart into pieces. He opened his mouth to respond, but no words came out as he struggled to comprehend Alexa's reaction. How could sh
Luciana was stunned to silence once more as she absorbed Henry's confession. Her eyes flickered between his, wondering if she had just heard him right."W- what?" She eventually muttered with disbelief, her expression faltering as she locked eyes with Henry.In reassurance, Henry nodded his head affirmatively, wordlessly assuring her that she had heard him right. This was the very first time he was confessing his feelings to her and he wasn't surprised to see she was fazed.His lips broadened with a warm smile as he cupped Luciana's cheek his thump grazing her face softly in an attempt to pull her from her thoughts."So, what do you say, baby? Would you be my lady?" He asked again, his tone laced with optimism.Luciana swallowed as she blinked her way back to reality. She felt a twinge in her heart as she noted Henry's optimism. He looked at her so hopefully and it was a shame she only planned to break his heart at that moment. There was no way she could agree to a public relationship
Luciana was momentarily taken aback by Henry's inquiry. Disbelief coursed through her, causing her to blink weakly as she stared at him. She hadn't expected a day would come that he'd ask her that as one of the terms of their relationship was to remain in hiding till they finally called it quits. Luciana couldn't help but wonder why the change of heart. She was fazed, and for a minute, she lost her sense of speech."Baby, are you with me?" Henry's husky voice pulled Luciana from her thoughts, prompting her to snap back to reality.Averting her gaze, she shook her head lightly and swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat before returning her gaze to him.She forced a reassuring smile to break out on her face as she met his hopeful gaze directed at her. "Yeah, I'm here... I'm with you." She replied in a small voice, her tone laden with skepticism.Henry cupped her cheek and caressed it with his thumb as his eyes bore into hers. "So, what do you say about my proposal? Are you re
"Argh, argh, fuck," Luciana moaned breathlessly as she moved her hips against his dick. His strong arm caressed her back and held her in place as she moved upward and downward on his dick. Henry groaned, his hand roaming her body until he reached her breast. He fondled with it and took a nipple into his mouth as Luciana continued riding him. His tongue circled around her nipple as he licked, sucked, and bit her hard bud occasionally.Luciana moaned, stars of ecstasy flying above as she continued riding him at a slow yet passionate pace. Her eyes rolled into her head as she pictured it was Jordan she was currently on top of. She pictured it was his massive dick she was currently riding and her moans intensified as Henry caressed her back and trailed a finger to her clit. He rubbed on her hard bud, massaging it as she continued moving her hips against him.He was too big for her and he enjoyed the sight of seeing her struggle to take him all in. "You're doing great, baby, keep it up,
Tyler Sterling returned to his hotel room after the conclusion of his meeting with one of the significant clients he had gone to see in the other city. It had been successful and Tyler was glad to return with fulfillment. It was already past 5 pm when he arrived at the suite.He stripped off his suit jacket, exhaling heavily as he draped it on the chair nearby before heading over to hit the shower. He let the waters cascade down his body, offering him solace and relief as he remained beneath the shower for a brief moment.When he was done bathing, he returned to the living to get dressed in just a pair of boxer briefs and a singlet to clad his well-sculpted chest.He paced about the room, searching for his cellular device as he wanted to see the picture of Alexa on his phone. It served him great comfort each time he stared and admired her beauty. When he finally found the gadget, he retired to bed, taking the moment to scroll through his gallery until he found the picture of her he wa
Alexa momentarily froze, her heart racing with trepidation. Indeed, just as she had suspected before now, Jordan had already learned about the kids' existence. Anxiety tugged at her heartstrings as she contemplated her inner turmoil. She wondered how he had gotten to know. Perhaps, it was Catherine who had said something to him after her visit and seeing the way she had been protective about her children. So there was no need to confront Jordan on how he got to know about that information. Alexa mused. "Answer me, Alexa. I think I deserve to know that, don't I? That's the least you could do after keeping it a secret from me all this while." Jordan's voice resonated in her ears once more, breaking into her train of thought.Alexa struggled to regain her composure, but when she finally did, her anxiety transformed into anger as she stared up at him, registering his audacity."What?" She exclaimed, regarding him with disbelief. But Jordan's expression was inscrutable, his eyes observin
He was rendered speechless, his lips slightly parting with shock.Jordan swallowed hard as he absorbed Alexa's words. A wave of disbelief washed over him as he averted his gaze, struggling to grasp the reality that Luciana had actually confronted Alexa. What the fuck? He seethed inwardly. But he was still skeptical that Luciana would do such a thing.Jordan turned his gaze to Alexa. "Are you certain about this, baby?" Jordan finally asked, confusion evident in his voice.Alexa regarded and scoffed with irritation. "Why on earth would I fabricate that? Your stupid mistress barged into my office, threatening me to stay away from you as if I were even remotely interested. You need to keep your leech on that bitch, Jordan, because the next time she pulls a stunt like that, I won't hold back to retaliate, and I don't think you wouldn't suffer the consequences for her actions too." Her serious tone underscored her warning."What? But I didn't do anything." Jordan protested in disbelief.Ale
Jordan settled into the chair facing Alexa in the interrogation room, having just finished a meeting with his mother an hour prior. He had been looking forward to this session with Alexa while he waited in his cell, and now that he was in her presence, a wave of relief washed over him as he inhaled her sweet scent. This was his favorite moment.Although Alexa remained completely absorbed in her laptop, ignoring his arrival, Jordan didn’t mind her disregard. He leaned back in his seat, his heart fluttering inexplicably as he admired her. He noticed her hair cascading in radiant waves down her shoulders, her light makeup accentuating her sharp eyes that sparkled behind her glasses. Each glance filled him with admiration, intensifying his infatuation."I thought I warned you to stop staring at me like that?" Alexa's voice cut through his thoughts, startling him. He quickly composed himself and cleared his throat as he realized he had been caught.Speaking sincerely, he confessed, "You c
Jordan matched Catherine’s gaze as he sat across from her in the visitation room. She had just returned to see him the day after her visit with Alexa. She was obviously there to give him the update."How did it go?" Jordan inquired, breaking the silence. His eyes were fixed on her as he awaited her answer.He had just finished eating and Catherine had insisted she'd only tell him what happened after he was done with his lunch.Heaving a sigh, Catherine shook her head, a look of regret washing over her. "It was futile, Jordan. She rejected the gifts and stated she wanted nothing to do with our family... She’s furious, Jordan, and I fear it will take a long time to change her mind." She sighed, resting her palm against her face in frustration. Jordan absorbed her words, taking a moment to process the information. He fell silent, reflecting inwardly. Alexa’s rejection of the gifts came as no surprise; her hostility and indifference were clear indicators of her feelings. But he felt his
"...Are those my grandchildren?"Alexa paused, momentarily taken aback by Catherine's question. The two women locked eyes, an unspoken exchange of emotions passing between them. Alexa felt her insides spiraling with turmoil. Deep down, Alexa wondered why Catherine felt entitled to ask such a thing. Could it be she had uncovered the truth? She wondered. Was she the same woman who had attempted to touch Blair's hair at school? A flood of troubling thoughts raced through Alexa's mind, leaving her momentarily dazed and struggling to find clarity as she stared back at Catheine absentmindedly.On the other hand, Catherine grappled with what she had just witnessed. The resemblance she hadn't noticed before, especially from the female twin. She looked so much like Jordan, and it fazed Catherine; for a moment, she thought of believing. However, she was still reluctant to give Alexa the benefit of the doubt. She'd always hated Alexa and didn't trust her. She always perceived her as a cheat sinc
