EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 001
"Darling, when are you going to divorce her? Now that I'm here, I can't bear the thought of sharing you with any other woman, talk more of living under the same roof with her." Alexa halted in her tracks as she caught the sultry and familiar tone of a woman's voice echoing through the walls of her matrimonial bedroom. She remained fazed as she stood outside the door, questioning if she had truly heard what she thought she had. Her skepticism dissipated when the velvety voice of her beloved husband, filled with reassurance and tenderness, followed in response to the other woman."Come on, sweetheart, you know Alexa is still pregnant with my child. I've told you before that once she gives birth, I'll divorce her and send her away, I promise."And in that moment, it dawned on Alexa that she was truly the subject of their conversation. WTF!She remained momentarily frozen to the spot, her mind spinning with conflicting thoughts as she was struck dumb with disbelief and confusion. She cou

Oh... you didn’t know." Ivy chimed in as she noticed Alexa's pale and bewildered expression. She snickered. "Clueless idiot."Catherine and Ivy erupted in laughter."You're just a naive fool now, aren’t you?" Ivy asked rhetorically, shaking her head.Alexa felt her heart shatter, a painful constriction tightening within her chest. How could she have been so oblivious? The realization stung, and she could no longer suppress the tears that welled in her eyes, leading her to sob uncontrollably. She couldn't believe any of this was truly happening to her. What had she done to deserve this?"You know what would be best for everyone now?" Ivy started coldly, ignoring Alexa's emotional state. "You should leave this house and never return. Nobody wants you here. You can go back to your wretched family abroad. Oh, wait... They disowned you, didn’t they? Ha!" Ivy chuckled mockingly, and Catherine smirked, her menacing eyes fixed on Alexa."My family is not wretched," Alexa defended amidst tears

This is unacceptable, Alexander. Your father and I do not support your decision! You cannot marry that man!" 'You are marrying Jordan Salvador? The cold-hearted son of the callous Salvador family? Oh my.''He will break your heart, Alexa. Please, don't do this.''Alexa, do not proceed with this marriage!''You're seriously quitting your job because of him too? You're a finished woman.''I, Gregory McKenna, hereby disown and reject you, Alexander, as the heir to the McKenna fortune and as my daughter.' 'And I, simply Alexander, accept your rejection.''The only reason I haven't divorced you yet is because of the child you're carrying inside of you.'...Alexa's eyes fluttered open slightly as the disjointed echoes of her past disrupted her sleep and gradually pulled her back to consciousness. She blinked weakly, remaining still on the bed as she struggled to gather her thoughts, squinting at the unfamiliar, pristine white ceiling above her. As memories of recent events replayed in h

Baby, now she's out of our lives for good, I am so elated. We can finally get married, Jordan." Luciana exclaimed, a radiant smile lighting up her face as she gently caressed Jordan's cheek, staring into his troubled emerald orbs. Despite Jordan's efforts to mask his unease, Luciana could see the worry behind the faint smile he wore. Nevertheless, she felt unconcerned; Jordan was sorely hers now. That was all she cared about. Jordan merely murmured a response to Luciana as his mind was consumed with several thoughts and emotions. For some reason, he couldn't comprehend the guilt pangs that tugged at his heartstrings each time he acknowledged that Alexa was truly gone. He didn't know where she had gone to or where she was, but it had been weeks since he last saw her. And that was the day she had left home and suffered a miscarriage in the hospital. He had wanted to..."Jordan!" Luciana's firm voice cut through his reverie, pulling his dazed gaze back to her. She frowned when their eye

>>FOUR YEARS LATERSeated comfortably in a plush swivel chair, a man exuded a cold aura as continued to gaze at the photo in his hand. His emerald orbs remained fixed on it as he felt his heart prick him painfully, taking in the features of the lady in the picture. She was a young woman with long auburn hair that perfectly complemented her hazel eyes. Her genuine smile radiating through the picture filled the man's heart with warmth. He missed her. He missed the woman in the photo terribly. This man was no other person than Jordan Salvador, and the woman in the picture was no other than his beautiful ex-wife, Alexander McKenna. Jordan continued gazing at the picture regretfully as he felt as though his heart was being stabbed with a sharp knife, replaying the wrong deeds he had done Alexa four years ago. He regretted everything. He wished he could turn back the hands of the clock and prevent it all from happening in the first place. Though he had been searching all over the country f

Throughout the drive to the police station, Jordan's mind swirled with distressing thoughts as he glanced out the window. His thick brows were furrowed in a deep frown and his heart was racing with trepidation. Despite his certainty in his innocence, an unsettling sensation lingered within him. "You are under arrest for the embezzlement of company funds," Those words reverberated in his mind, like a relentless mantra, stirring his heart and leaving him perplexed about the unfolding events. He struggled to grasp how he had been accused of embezzling funds from his own company. As the CEO of JS Enterprises, he held the highest position, overseeing a board of executives. How could this situation have arisen? He pondered for a moment, but ultimately dismissed his thoughts, attempting to reassure himself that the arrest was merely a huge misunderstanding. With that resolve, he took a deep breath, releasing it slowly as his gaze fell upon the police signpost marking the entrance to the i

"Your Honor, this indicates that the evidence presented is not admissible in court." She paused, her gaze fixed on the defendant before she continued. "For this reason, I find it mandatory that you see the confines of a prison, Mr. Edward. Your sentence will be five years…"“You bitch!” A voice from the audience, likely a family member of the defendant, attempted to rush at her, but an officer swiftly intervened, allowing Alexa to continue without hesitation after casting a glance at the woman who had just tried to assault her. Alexa was unfazed as such incidents were not new to her.With determination, she turned her attention back to the defendant, who met her gaze with a look of despair.She carried on undeterred. "You will be eligible for parole during this period. Your sentence is to be carried out immediately!" Alexa announced, then moved around the table to settle in her seat.As soon as Alexa made her pronouncement, gasps of disbelief and excitement filled the courtroom, echoi

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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 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

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

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
