EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 010
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

Jordan remained lost in his thoughts for a moment until an unexpected voice interrupted his concentration."You have a visitor, Mr. Salvador," the officer's voice echoed in the quiet space.Feeling a surge of curiosity about the identity of the visitor, he reluctantly lifted his gaze towards the officer standing across the room. "Who is it?" Jordan inquired, his brows furrowing in confusion."Family. Your mother," The officer responded while unlocking the door.Initially, a wave of disappointment washed over Jordan as he had hoped for a different visitor. He let out a weary sigh, his thoughts spiraling into a mix of heartbreak and desire. He couldn't quite understand why he had expected Alexa to be the one visiting him, especially after her earlier assertion that they had no connection whatsoever. He inwardly scolded himself for harboring such delusions.Shaking off his disappointment, Jordan finally stood up and made his way across the room to join the officer, who then guided him t

Catherine was fazed for a moment, her mind spiraling with conflicting thoughts. From the expression on her face, Jordan could tell she was still reeling from the disbelief from the revelation. Like, who wouldn't? Alexa not just becoming a prosecutor but the one in charge of his case, had also struck him like a thunderbolt. He couldn't believe it. And he didn't expect his mother to believe the news so suddenly.Meanwhile, Catherine's brows furrowed in a frown as she regarded her son once more. His expression brimmed with nothing but seriousness, and it really troubled her. Recalling the past and what she had put Alexa through, Catherine felt a twinge in her heart. A blend of guilt and dread coursed through her veins as she grappled with the reality of the news.Eventually, she swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and turned her eyes to Jordan."So, it's true? You're serious? Are you sure you aren't mistaking her for someone else? I've considered all possibilities and it sti

"Mommy, are you going to be seeing Daddy soon?" Blair asked her mother as they began heading towards the airport terminal. They had just landed a few minutes ago and they were currently strutting towards the terminal, where Alexa knew Elena would be waiting for her. She texted her a few minutes ago of their arrival and Elena had reassured her that she was already at the airport terminal.Alexa looked down at her child, who was holding her hand firmly. She offered Blair a soft smile and nodded curtly, although unsure if they would really be seeing Jordan today. "Sure, baby, you'll be seeing Daddy soon,""I can't wait, Mommy," Blair grinned, displaying a small set of teeth that caused Alexa's heart to melt at her cuteness.Atlas also chimed in, grinning from ear to ear. "Me too, Mommy! I missed Daddy so much and I can't wait to tell him about my girlfriend in school."Alexa chuckled with amusement at her son's antics. It was true; even Atlas had found love in some girl at the new schoo

**ONE YEAR LATER**"Oh my goodness, Alexa, I'm so excited!" Elena's thrilled voice resonated through the phone as Alexa clutched the phone to her ear.A smile spread across her face as she absorbed Elena's excitement. Even though she couldn't see the woman closely, she could imagine the happiness that was currently radiating from her. Elena sounded so thrilled."I'll be at the airport, Alexa, I swear. I'll leave work. I'll wait for you till you touch down. Gosh, I can't wait!" She screeched enthusiastically.Alexa couldn't help but chuckle as she absorbed Elena's promise. She couldn't blame her; she was also dying to see her just as much as Elena couldn't wait to see her. How much time has passed since they last saw each other? One whole year.That's right, the last time Alexa had seen Elena was when she had left the country a year ago after what happened with Tyler and Jordan. It had taken her six whole months to gather herself before she began even reaching out to Elena again.Elen

Jordan was distraught as he rang Alexa for the second time and there was still no response. He checked his messages to see if she had replied to his texts but also there was no response. A frown crossed his face as he couldn't comprehend Alexa's sudden change.He was worried and he wished he was back in the city so he could visit her. However, he was currently out of town as he had gone on a business trip as the new head of JS Enterprises. He had merely concluded the meeting when he decided to call her again. However, all of his calls went straight to voicemail. Worry gnawed at Jordan as he thought something might have happened. His heart constricted painfully at the idea that Tyler must have returned to Alexa's home to confront her. What if that was the reason she wasn't taking any of his calls again? What if something had happened, and maybe Tyler had overreacted like before?These considerations had Jordan's heart racing frantically as worry consumed him. Checking his messages one

'Baby, you haven't been taking my calls, I hope you're doing okay. I'll be coming later. I love you.' Alexa stared at Jordan's message for the umpteenth feeling a clog in her throat as she read it. It was true; she hadn't been taking his calls and had been completely avoidant since what happened with Tyler. Tyler still hadn't been taking her calls nor replying to any of her apology messages. Alexa was fazed and worried. Although she never wanted things to end like this, she felt this was best for everyone."Hey, are you good?" Elena's voice disrupted Alexa's thoughts as she asked her friend with concern laden in her tone. Alexa, who had been sitting down staring at her phone as she got prepared in the living room, looked up at her friend and nodded slowly. "Uhm, I am.""Are you sure?" Elena asked, holding Alexa's gaze. "Are you sure this is it, Alexa?" She asked further so Alexa could really comprehend the depth of her question.Alexa swallowed and nodded curtly, averting her eyes a

"Jordan!" Alexa exclaimed with terror as Jordan seized Tyler up, ready to punch him across the face again but Alexa quickly tugged at his arm, halting him effectively. "Stop it, stop it, please," she cried out, gripping Jordan's arm tightly.Jordan seethed with rage as he glared at Tyler, whose nostrils were now trickling with blood. He could barely control his raging emotions as all he wanted at that moment was to teach Tyler a lesson for calling Alexa a 'whore.' How dare he?"Jordan, please, stop it. Let him go," Alexa's pleas sailed into his ears, causing his heart to ache. He reluctantly loosened his hold on Tyler's collar at Alexa's order. Jordan was pissed off. "He doesn't deserve you, Alexa,""I know, still let him go, Jordan. Let him go right now," she asserted firmly, her heart twisting with anguish. Gosh, she hated this. She had tried her best to avoid this drama but she guessed she failed in doing so. Acutely aware this wasn't the time to berate herself as she had two me

An overwhelming feeling of shock and bewilderment coursed through Alexa as she met Tyler's furious gaze. Tyler had just barged into her office unannounced and his demeanor screamed of nothing but pure anger. "T-Ty," Alexa stuttered, prompting Jordan to turn to face the man who had just entered.The two men locked eyes in a heated gaze until Tyler started with a snap. "Really, Alexa?" He shook his head with disbelief. "Really?"Even though she couldn't comprehend what he meant by that, her heart raced wildly as she absorbed his indifference. He looked miffed and with the way he glared at Jordan, Alexa didn't need a soothsayer to tell her that Tyler must have found out the truth somehow. But how come? It wasn't supposed to be like this. She had planned to tell him herself. No, no, this was bad."Ty," She called out to him frantically as she pulled out of her thoughts. Her eyes held remorse as they met his gaze. "What is the matter?" She asked skeptically, trying not to believe he had

Tyler Sterling recoiled from his desk as he watched the news of Luciana's arrest. His brows creased with a frown, seeing the offense Luciana had been apprehended of. He was familiar with the woman. He remembered she had paid him a visit just two days before her arrest, to inform him that Alexa was cheating on him with someone else. Tyler had brushed her off, registering her words as absurd. Even though he hadn't confronted Alexa yet as she had been very busy with work, Tyler still trusted her completely. He believed Alexa wasn't capable of doing that. And even though they weren't really in a real relationship yet, he knew the feelings Alexa harbored for him.As Jordan continued watching the news on TV concerning Luciana's arrest and her downfall, he couldn't help but notice the man with Alexa behind the scenes. He flinched as he recognized him to be Jordan Salvador, the same man he had been noticing with Alexa and also the one Luciana had cited Alexa was cheating on him with.Tyler's
EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 151
With Jordan as the new head of the company, he was able to apprehend Luciana on time with Alexa's help."Dear Miss Henderson, you're under arrest for the setup of Jordan Salvador. You have the right to remain silent, as anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney..." The police officers who had arrested Jordan before now, said to Luciana as they secured the cuffs around her wrists.Luciana's face was etched with horror as she looked from the officers to Jordan and Alexa who had led her arrest. Alexa smirked smugly, while Jordan shook his head in disappointment as he met Luciana's gaze."I will ensure you rot in prison for this, Luciana. That is a promise." Jordan said to her callously, his eyes darkening with rage. "Take her away and lock her up."Luciana was fazed. She hadn't expected they would arrest her. She believed they were still clueless that she was the one who had framed Jordan. It seemed she had thought wrong.Des

Luciana had just gotten off the phone with Raven and her eyes blazed with fury as she grappled with the reality of what had happened. Raven had just informed her about Alexa's visit to her office.Annoyance coursed through Luciana as she pondered her thoughts, unable to fathom what had led Alexa to restart the investigation. She thought everything had ended with Jordan's release, how come Alexa was still prying into her privacy and trying to look into matters that didn't concern her?Luciana's insides coursed with a bit of relief as she reflected on Raven's assurance. "I didn't tell her anything. But you need to do something about this."Luciana had reassured Raven that she was going to handle it but at that moment, she couldn't think of anything else. Well, maybe it was time to finally expose Alexa's secrets to the firm and get her fired? Luciana pondered. Only then will Alexa be able to back off from the investigation as it was no longer an official case? But why had she restarted
