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

Alexa stepped out of the police station and made her way to her car immediately after concluding her meeting with Jordan. As she settled into the driver's seat, she took a moment to calm her racing heart, gripping the steering wheel tightly. A flurry of thoughts raced through her mind, prompting her to draw in a deep breath to gather herself.The encounter with Jordan had left her reeling. Although she had mentally prepared for this moment after Tyler's call, the reality of facing him was still daunting.With a heavy sigh, she reflected on their earlier conversation, her heart pounding as conflicting emotions swirled within her, causing an ache in her chest. She despised this feeling. How could she still be affected by him after everything that had happened? Surely, it must be shock. She couldn't possibly still harbor feelings for Jordan. No.Shoving those thoughts aside, memories of Jordan's betrayal crept back into her mind, igniting a simmering anger. Her demeanor shifted, the desi
