EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 017
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

Jordan was already waiting for Alexa in the dimly lit interrogation room by the time she arrived. The sound of her stilettos clacking on the marble floor broke the silence, and as she approached, her sweet fragrance wafted into the air, prompting Jordan to sit up straighter as their eyes finally met. With a neutral expression, Alexa averted her gaze and walked toward the chair opposite Jordan, deliberately ignoring him as she settled into her seat. Nonetheless, Jordan’s gaze remained fixed on her. He watched her intently and enthusiastically, his eyes a mix of calculation and warmth. A flurry of distressing thoughts raced through his mind, but he chose to concentrate on the striking beauty before him. His ex-wife. Once again, he was stunned by Alexa's sharp corporate outfit, which exuded nothing but class and professionalism. The way she carried herself made his heart sink each time she caught him staring. "What are you looking at?" Alexa snapped when she caught him ogling her. A

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

Luciana arrived at the Salvador's company a few minutes past eleven that morning. She was clad in a black slit skirt that perfectly accentuated her curves, matching it with a light blue blouse. Her hair was styled in soft waves and it flowed down her shoulders as she walked elegantly towards the gigantic building.She felt nervous about being seen despite putting on shades that partly concealed her face. She clutched her purse against her hip as she headed towards the elevator.She felt a pang of anxiety gripped her. She hadn't informed Henry she was coming to see him. She couldn't help but wonder how he was going to react to her abrupt visit. Luciana already knew how this was going to end. The thought of it had her heart racing with excitement.The elevator finally dinged after a few seconds since she entered, announcing her arrival at the top floor. Upon stepping out, Luciana glanced around to ensure either her mother-in-law or Grandfather Torrey wasn't around her. She felt very anx

Luciana yawned as she fluttered her eyes open that morning. Realizing what had transpired between her and Henry the previous night, her mind was on alert, and she quickly darted her gaze to check if he was asleep by her side on the bed. To her greatest disappointment, she was met with the vacant side of the bed.Her heart pricked her painfully and she hissed with irritation. She glanced at the room to grab a trace of him but there was none. He was gone. It was as though he never came by the previous night. It was as though Henry never came over to her house and made love to her when she least expected it. Though Luciana was hurt, reminiscing about their love-making the previous night, her heart fluttered with delight. At least that was a start at getting Henry back. She knew he couldn't resist her, she'd just have to try harder to win his attention.With this resolve in mind, Luciana hauled herself out of bed, heading towards the bathroom first to get a quick shower before going over

Jordan was flabbergasted, his mind reeling with confusion as he blinked back to reality. "What the hell are you talking about? Luciana is having what?" He snapped, his shock palpable.Ivy sighed and chuckled, shaking her head as she replied. "Well, I said Luciana might be having an affair with Henry, our brother. Are you aware of that?""Might or is? Which exactly?" Jordan's brows scrunched up with bewilderment as he couldn't comprehend her words. He hated the fact that she was beating about the bush. His mind was already spiraling with conflicting thoughts, and he needed her confirmation of what she had just said.Ivy heaved a sigh, a weary smile etching her face as she leaned back on the chair. She hesitated, staring at Jordan like she was contemplating her thoughts.Jordan's impatience wore thin as he noticed Ivy's silence. "Just speak up already? What are you talking about? How did you find out about this? Is this even true?"Ivy finally responded after a moment. "Well, I'm hundre

Jordan returned to his cell after his meeting with Alexa ended. Several distressing thoughts gnawed at him as he took a seat on the bed, disregarding his inmate as he pondered his thoughts.Alexa's response to his request echoed in his mind, reminding him each time that Alexa had yet to forgive him and he wasn't making any progress like he thought he was. She had blatantly informed him that his request was on the waiting list; that was a whole new level of nonchalance and it surprised Jordan.Jordan's eyes flickered to the wall clock and he noted it was almost 2 PM. His heart surged with relief as he realized his sister would be here any moment. While he anticipated her arrival, he contemplated his thoughts, wondering if Alexa was going to ever agree to his proposal about the restitution. If she was ever going to agree someday for him to see his children. She had completely kept them away from him and it hurt him so much. If not for anything but the sake of the kids, he deserved to le

"Waiting list?" Jordan gasped, his heart clenching with bewilderment. "What does that even mean?" He asked, his panic-stricken orbs darting between Alexa's."I thought I just explained it to you." Alexa shot back. "I believe you're still a potential criminal and I'd like to get to the bottom of the matter before making a final decision!" She repeated, her voice laden with annoyance.Jordan shook his head, his brows knitting together in a frown. "Come on, baby, I thought we were making some progress here. You can't do that to me, come on, that ain't fair, you know that," He stated, disappointment lacing his tone.Alexa regarded him with a scoff before replying. "What do you know about fair and unfair things?"He was rendered speechless as his eyes bore into hers."You will let me handle this without any interruption..."Finding his sense of speech again, Jordan suggested. "Alexa, come on, you know you can still investigate this even when I'm out. I don't necessarily need to be here bef

It had already been a day since Mr. James's proposal regarding Jordan's release, yet his words still echoed in Alexa's mind like a mantra, causing her heart to twinge often as she struggled to navigate her thoughts.As she drove down the highway towards the States Prison, where she was holding a session with Jordan in a few minutes, Alexa took the moment to reflect on her thoughts and Mr. James's proposal as well. That suggestion had no doubt come as a surprise to her as she hadn't seen it coming. She had thought all matters would be resolved through the court process, whereby Jordan would likely face a sentence.A wave of heartbreak washed over Alexa, however, a part of her was glad that they had seen another method to resolve the issue. In as much as she hated Jordan and still wanted to make him pay, Alexa couldn't help but feel relieved that he wouldn't be punished unjustly. She had come to believe his claims about being innocent. Although she hadn't secured any backup or evidence

As Mr. James's words echoed throughout the room, the tension within grew. Alexa, whose heart had been pounding in her chest watched out for Sapphire's bewildered gaze. She expected her to have an outburst about what was going on as no one in their office ever knew Alexa was once married, talk more of being once married to the same client she was currently prosecuting.Alexa's heart leaped as she realized a big part of her secret had been revealed low-key by James. However, her expression remained neutral even though her heart was thumping with anxiousness as everyone in the room remained silent.She had lied to her colleagues, including Sapphire and Tyler, that she had no marriage to anyone before. Because her marriage to Jordan was now a thing of her past and she wanted it to remain that way, she had refused to reveal the truth to anyone that once asked about her children's father.Eventually, after a moment of eerie silence in the room, Alexa cleared her throat as Sapphire refused t

As Alexa made a right turn on the road, the thought that had been gnawing at her for a while now caused her to sigh as she regained her composure."I still can't understand any of it," She muttered to Elena's hearing.Elena, who was looking out the window before as she mentally prepared her mind for another day in school, turned as Alexa's words sailed into her ears.She regarded Alexa's demeanor, her tense expression and she couldn't help but ask as she corked her brows at her."Can't understand any of what?"Alexa drew in a deep breath and exhaled before revealing. "Luciana came by my office yesterday, offering a helping hand on Jordan's case."Elena was fazed, her brows raising. "Huh?"Disregarding her reaction, Alexa continued. "She apologized, even brought me flowers as an attempt at reconciliation, which I obviously declined... But you needed to see how she genuinely apologized for every wrong she had caused. It's crazy for real.""Hold on, Alexa." Elena licked her lips, her fro
