EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 016
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

Alexa took a seat across from hers after they had exchanged pleasantries. Though her demeanor remained neutral, the lady Alexa had come to visit could clearly notice that Alexa wasn't in a cheerful mood. The lady simply regarded her as she awaited Alexa to break the silence."So, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit, Attorney McKanne?" She inquired, a subtle smile gracing her lips as her blue eyes lingered on Alexa.Alexa lifted her gaze and studied her, examining her features; the lady was dressed in a sharp corporate outfit, and her blonde hair cascaded down her face in soft waves, complementing her ocean-blue orbs. Alexa's gaze gradually drifted from the woman's face down to the table where the small glass plate settled, with the bold inscriptions on it, 'Principal Cartersville.' It was clear the woman before her was no other person than her friend, Nina Cartersville, also the principal of the prestigious school Alexa's children attended.Following the troubling incident wi

Alexa reeled back from her shock with anger brewing through her as she locked eyes with Catherine's imploring ones.Alexa couldn't pinpoint the source of her annoyance; if it was the fake smile etched on Catherine's face currently or the fact that she had just called her 'my dear'; that was a term Alexa wasn't familiar with.Her annoyance bubbling with her, Alexa seethed and gritted through clenched teeth. "What the fuck are you doing here? What the hell do you want, Catherine?"Catherine attempted to maintain her smile, but the indifference radiating from Alexa caused it to falter almost immediately. She assessed Alexa, her eyes scanning her before she nodded. "You look good, my dear. Jordan was right about you," she offered, returning her gaze."Your dear? Who the hell are you referring to as that?" Alexa snapped, her eyes blazing with annoyance. Furthermore, she realized she had no idea how Catherine had found her home. "Why did you come here? How did you even know my place?"Cathe

The gentle brush of Atlas's body against her legs jolted Alexa from her reverie. Instinctively, she reached out and pulled him behind her, instinctively attempting to shield him from Catherine. Her nerves unraveled as her heartbeat intensified, the anxiety of Catherine potentially uncovering the truth about the twins gnawing at her. However, despite the turmoil within, Alexa's expression remained composed and indifferent as she faced Catherine.Meanwhile, Catherine's gaze shifted slowly from the boy to Alexa's eyes after she had tucked Atlas behind her. She scrutinized Alexa's features, comparing them to those of the toddler. There was no doubt that this was Alexa's child. Although surprised, Catherine couldn't help but feel a sense of fascination at how charming the little boy looked."He looks just like you, Alexa. What a beautiful boy," Catherine remarked, a small smile gracing her lips.In response, Alexa remained silent, her gaze locked onto Catherine's. It then dawned on her tha

The following day.Alexa set two plates of scrambled eggs and pancakes in front of the toddlers, affectionately patting their heads before moving to retrieve their water bottles. "Where's your Aunty, sweetheart?" she asked one of the twins, referring to Elena.At that moment, Elena entered the kitchen, her eyes still heavy with sleep as she yawned her way over to them. "Hey," she murmured softly, taking a seat at the counter. Before settling in, she bent down to plant gentle kisses on each toddler's temple. "Good morning, my angels. How did you sleep?" she inquired sweetly.Alexa watched their interaction with a warm smile, cherishing the way Elena expressed her affection for the twins. Elena loved them like they were hers. Many people often assumed Elena was their mother due to her attentive care. Rather than feeling envious, Alexa felt incredibly fortunate to have Elena in their lives, as she had alleviated much of her stress."Good morning," Alexa greeted softly, her gaze fixed o

"Elena," Alexa exclaimed in a panic, instinctively drawing her children close as the car slowly passed by them again. She gazed intently at the vehicle, hoping to catch a glimpse of its occupants, but the tinted windows of it thwarted her efforts. Despite this, Alexa's eyes remained fixed on the car as it exited the school grounds. "Hey, what's wrong?" Elena's worried voice snapped Alexa back to reality. "You called me," she added, searching Alexa's face for answers. The fear etched across Alexa's features was palpable, leaving Elena perplexed as she wondered what was wrong. Alexa blinked repeatedly, struggling to regain her composure before turning to face Elena. She opened her mouth to respond, but at first, no words came out as her mind continued racing with numerous thoughts. "Hey, are you okay? What's the matter?" Elena interrupted, snapping her fingers in front of Alexa's face. Nodding eagerly, Alexa replied, pulling out of her daze. "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. But did you se

Ivy entered the expansive building situated in the city's core after parking her car in the garage.Her strides were confident and resolute as she approached the company's entrance, her expression neutral. With her head held high, she walked past her colleagues, making her way to the elevator.Though Ivy was acutely aware of the curious glances directed at her, she remained unfazed. She understood that her presence often commanded attention. However, at that moment, she speculated that their astonished looks stemmed either from her striking appearance or their surprise at her return to the company.It was difficult for Ivy to recall how long it had been since her last visit. Nevertheless, she took a deep breath as she rode the elevator alone to her grandfather Torrey's office on the top floor.Upon her grandfather's response to her knocking, Ivy gently turned the doorknob and stepped into the spacious office.There, she found her grandfather engrossed in a stack of documents at his de

"Have you heard from Grandpa yet?" Jordan asked, breaking free from his thoughts and searching Ivy's eyes for answers.Ivy let out a weary sigh and shook her head. "Not yet, but I plan to visit him later today," she clarified."Please do. I don’t understand why he hasn’t come to see me. I’m starting to wonder if he really means what he said about disowning me. He intends to cut me off, Ivy," Jordan replied, his voice tinged with confusion. "At first, I thought he was just joking, but it doesn't feel that way anymore," he admitted, a wave of anxiety washing over him."Calm down; he won’t go through with it," Ivy reassured him, maintaining eye contact. "Not while I'm here.""You remember how he sent you to that terrible place when you messed up two years ago, right?" Jordan reminded her, hoping to convey his perspective.Ivy smiled warmly. "Yes, I remember, and I also remember who came to my rescue... It was you. You helped me.""I know that Ivy, but that’s not my point," he replied. "I

Ivy's irritation only intensified, recalling all that had transpired between her and Alexa just a few minutes ago. As she made a right turn on the road, heading in the direction of the state prison, she let out a spiteful hiss as she reabsorbed Alexa's rejection."That low life had the guts to reject my gifts?" She pondered, a wave of disbelief and annoyance coursing through her. She was furious. She hated Alexa's guts. She hated the way she had cast her out like she meant nothing. Oh if not for Jordan's sake, heaven knows Ivy would be dealing with Alexa brutally by now. But for Jordan's sake, she had to keep her emotions under control. Just like Catherine, she still harbored a deep-seated resentment towards Alexa.Ivy jolted from her reverie as her eyes caught the Prison signpost, indicating she had arrived at the station. She cautiously navigated the car into the parking lot before pulling by the curb.Heaving a sigh, she let out another sigh as she turned off her ignition. Ivy sto

A warm smile was etched across Ivy's features as she reciprocated Alexa's bewildered state."Hello, Alexa,""I- Ivy?" Alexa stuttered, unable to believe her eyes. She regarded Ivy with skepticism, her gaze scrutinizing as they lowered to observe her appearance. That was when Alexa noticed the bouquet of roses Ivy was holding. Her confusion deepened as she couldn't comprehend what was going on. It had been ages since she last saw Ivy, and seeing her on a random Saturday after four whole years fazed Alexa.However, she quickly regained her composure as she recalled Ivy wasn't one to be entertained in her home. They were enemies."What are you doing here?" Alexa demanded sharply as she redirected her gaze at Ivy."I come in peace," Ivy said calmly. "I don't care what you come in..." Alexa cut her off, "What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" She snapped, her annoyance resurfacing as she recalled how Ivy had badly treated her in the best. Of course, Alexa already knew the reason she was at her do

It was Saturday. Alexa and Elena already made plans to stay indoors throughout the day and spend quality time with the kids. Elena had strictly warned Alexa against working on this day because she wanted him to take a temporary break away from everything that had to do with Jordan and his case.It was past 10 in the morning, but Alexa and Elena were still very busy in the kitchen as they made arrangements for a successful and entertaining family day. While Alexa made the snacks, Elena assisted in baking them. The toddlers were still asleep as it was the weekend."So, how is work in general? And please I don't want to hear anything relating to Jordan." Elena stated as she gently placed one of the baking trays in the oven.Alexa, who was kneading dough, lifted her gaze and chuckled upon hearing Elena's words.She shrugged. "Well, work is fine. Nothing much has been happening if it doesn't have anything to do with Jordan." Alexa elaborated before lowering her gaze to the dough she was k

Nearly thirty minutes into Alexa's arrival, Raven had reluctantly answered all of her inquiries. Alexa had mostly asked about her financial records, how her company's accounting system worked, and if she was sure she didn't have an official connection with JS Enterprises. Raven was calm enough to answer all of her questions with caution, ensuring she didn't give Alexa the room to be more suspicious about her. "Well, that went well now, didn't it?" Alexa expelled a sigh as she prepared to leave.Raven shrugged, a feigned smile etched on her face. "Well, yes. I'm sorry for my hesitation earlier.""I completely understand, it's fine. You were worried and I get it." Alexa smiled warmly, their eyes locking onto each other's. "But you see how things turned out now? Everything went smoothly, didn't it?"Raven nodded curtly, pretending to be pleased with Alexa's reassurances. "It sure did."Alexa maintained her smile as she gazed at Raven briefly before finally rising to her heel. She added

Raven Hardin was returning to her office after a meeting when she got a call from her husband. She dismissed her assistant as prepared to answer the call. Upon answering, she asked about well-being, and he, in turn, did the same. They discussed a few things over the phone, with Luke Hardin, eventually informing her that he'd be back the following week or thereabout. "Oh, I miss you so much, darling. I can't wait for you to be back," Raven murmured over the phone as she stepped into her office."Missing you too, sweetheart and I'm proud of how you're perfectly handling things at the company even without my assistance." His remark sailed into Raven's ears as she closed the door behind her.Crossing the room to her desk, Raven replied. "That's only happening because I don't have you to distract me, baby. I miss you and it's pretty lonely over here without you." She lied blatantly."I miss you too. I'll come back home to you soon enough." "I'll be waiting." Raven settled into the swive

A blend of excitement and elation washed over Jordan upon the revelation that his sister had arrived to see him. He was momentarily taken aback as he hadn't been expecting it. Ivy had been away for quite some time now. The last time they spoke or got in contact was the day he had finalized his divorce from Luciana in court. After the legal signing off, Ivy had commended him for taking such a bold step to end things with Luciana. However, that was the last time they spoke as their grandfather had sent her to a country where cellular gadgets were barely used. She had gone there for training.By the time Jordan reeled back from disbelief, he was brimming with elation. "Ivy," He muttered to himself, the thought of seeing his only sister again after so many months, filling him with joy. Jordan darted his gaze at the warden, who had been awaiting him by the corner of the cell. Rising to his feet, a genuine smile marred Jordan's face as he regarded Antonio. "It's my sister..." He told h

As the days rolled into weeks, Jordan came to realize that the supposed feelings he thought he never had for Alexa were only intensifying with each passing minute. He found himself missing her presence more than usual. Sometimes, while resting in his cell after lunch or dinner, he would often reminisce about their last moments together. How he had flirted with her and how he had also made her pissed. Jordan would chuckle to himself each time he recalled how Alexa always cursed at him in annoyance.His heart fluttered with warmth as his mind solely revolved around the thoughts of her. Jordan was impressed by the way she tended to him fiercely. She had grown so bold and daring, and it excited him.Jordan didn't realize he was grinning from ear to ear until his cellmate called out to him abruptly."What's got you all giggling? Thinking about a woman, I see?" His cellmate chimed in, his voice breaking Jordan's reverie.Jordan's smile instantly dissipated, his expression faltering to a ne
