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

    Alexa's session with Jordan had ended a few hours ago, and now she sat behind her desk in her home office, sifting through significant information related to the case. Meanwhile, Elena entertained the kids in the living room with a TV show and popcorn. It was already past 7 PM, and although they had all had dinner, Alexa had skipped hers to focus on work. She planned to eat later, before heading to bed. As her fingers danced across the keyboard, her mind wandered back to her earlier encounter with Jordan. She hesitated, recalling the shock on his face when she revealed that she now had full control over his case and that only she could decide whether he would have the option for bail. The fear that flickered in his eyes filled Alexa with a sense of satisfaction. That was precisely what she aimed for; to make him feel daunted, to ensure he understood she held the upper hand in this game now. Despite her lingering hatred for him, she found a certain amusement in his reaction. The ses

    "What do you think about this dress?" Alexa asked, showcasing the elegant red dress for her friend to see. Worry was etched across Alexa's face as she waited for Elena's response. Upon Alexa's inquiry, Elena stopped what she was doing and turned to face her. She regarded the dress carefully, contemplating for a moment before eventually nodding curtly. "It's perfect. I think you're going to look good in it..." "You think so?" Alexa asked worriedly as she glanced at the dress once more. "Yeah, Lex..." Elena encouraged. "Now, come on, let's get your makeup done. You don't have any time to waste..." "I know, I know," Alexa heaved out a sigh, draping the dress on a nearby chair before heading over to the dressing table. As she made to pick up her makeup brush, she asked Elena. "Do you think it's rude of me that I didn't honor our plans for tonight? I don't want Tyler to feel bad." Alexa sighed. Elena placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and encouraged her. "Girl, it's not the f

    Alexa momentarily froze, her heart racing with trepidation. Indeed, just as she had suspected before now, Jordan had already learned about the kids' existence. Anxiety tugged at her heartstrings as she contemplated her inner turmoil. She wondered how he had gotten to know. Perhaps, it was Catherine who had said something to him after her visit and seeing the way she had been protective about her children. So there was no need to confront Jordan on how he got to know about that information. Alexa mused. "Answer me, Alexa. I think I deserve to know that, don't I? That's the least you could do after keeping it a secret from me all this while." Jordan's voice resonated in her ears once more, breaking into her train of thought.Alexa struggled to regain her composure, but when she finally did, her anxiety transformed into anger as she stared up at him, registering his audacity."What?" She exclaimed, regarding him with disbelief. But Jordan's expression was inscrutable, his eyes observin

    He was rendered speechless, his lips slightly parting with shock.Jordan swallowed hard as he absorbed Alexa's words. A wave of disbelief washed over him as he averted his gaze, struggling to grasp the reality that Luciana had actually confronted Alexa. What the fuck? He seethed inwardly. But he was still skeptical that Luciana would do such a thing.Jordan turned his gaze to Alexa. "Are you certain about this, baby?" Jordan finally asked, confusion evident in his voice.Alexa regarded and scoffed with irritation. "Why on earth would I fabricate that? Your stupid mistress barged into my office, threatening me to stay away from you as if I were even remotely interested. You need to keep your leech on that bitch, Jordan, because the next time she pulls a stunt like that, I won't hold back to retaliate, and I don't think you wouldn't suffer the consequences for her actions too." Her serious tone underscored her warning."What? But I didn't do anything." Jordan protested in disbelief.Ale

    Jordan settled into the chair facing Alexa in the interrogation room, having just finished a meeting with his mother an hour prior. He had been looking forward to this session with Alexa while he waited in his cell, and now that he was in her presence, a wave of relief washed over him as he inhaled her sweet scent. This was his favorite moment.Although Alexa remained completely absorbed in her laptop, ignoring his arrival, Jordan didn’t mind her disregard. He leaned back in his seat, his heart fluttering inexplicably as he admired her. He noticed her hair cascading in radiant waves down her shoulders, her light makeup accentuating her sharp eyes that sparkled behind her glasses. Each glance filled him with admiration, intensifying his infatuation."I thought I warned you to stop staring at me like that?" Alexa's voice cut through his thoughts, startling him. He quickly composed himself and cleared his throat as he realized he had been caught.Speaking sincerely, he confessed, "You c

    Jordan matched Catherine’s gaze as he sat across from her in the visitation room. She had just returned to see him the day after her visit with Alexa. She was obviously there to give him the update."How did it go?" Jordan inquired, breaking the silence. His eyes were fixed on her as he awaited her answer.He had just finished eating and Catherine had insisted she'd only tell him what happened after he was done with his lunch.Heaving a sigh, Catherine shook her head, a look of regret washing over her. "It was futile, Jordan. She rejected the gifts and stated she wanted nothing to do with our family... She’s furious, Jordan, and I fear it will take a long time to change her mind." She sighed, resting her palm against her face in frustration. Jordan absorbed her words, taking a moment to process the information. He fell silent, reflecting inwardly. Alexa’s rejection of the gifts came as no surprise; her hostility and indifference were clear indicators of her feelings. But he felt his

    "...Are those my grandchildren?"Alexa paused, momentarily taken aback by Catherine's question. The two women locked eyes, an unspoken exchange of emotions passing between them. Alexa felt her insides spiraling with turmoil. Deep down, Alexa wondered why Catherine felt entitled to ask such a thing. Could it be she had uncovered the truth? She wondered. Was she the same woman who had attempted to touch Blair's hair at school? A flood of troubling thoughts raced through Alexa's mind, leaving her momentarily dazed and struggling to find clarity as she stared back at Catheine absentmindedly.On the other hand, Catherine grappled with what she had just witnessed. The resemblance she hadn't noticed before, especially from the female twin. She looked so much like Jordan, and it fazed Catherine; for a moment, she thought of believing. However, she was still reluctant to give Alexa the benefit of the doubt. She'd always hated Alexa and didn't trust her. She always perceived her as a cheat sinc

    That same morning when Luciana paid a visit to Alexa, Catherine was also visiting her son in prison. She had gone bearing food. She urged him to eat while he told her about the recent discovery.Astonishment washed over Catherine as she struggled to process Jordan's words. She blinked in confusion as she reciprocated his gaze."It's been confirmed, Mother. Alexa really has my children. Norman brought me the DNA results yesterday. I truly believe it now." Jordan revealed, his orbs glinting with determination and belief.Meanwhile, Catherine's heart clenched in shock, and she fell silent for a moment, allowing the revelation to sink in. Jordan patiently gave her the space to absorb the news. He already expected she would be shocked when he finally told her. I mean, who wouldn't?After a brief pause, Catherine stammered, disbelief lacing her words. "B-but how? How is that even possible? Didn't Alexa suffer a miscarriage then?" Her brows furrowed in a frown. The news didn't sit well with

    Alexa was still deeply absorbed in her work that morning when she began hearing noises coming from outside her office. Though she heard the noise, she was reluctant to lift her gaze as she was still tackling the workload and didn't want to entertain any distractions whatsoever. She tried to shake off her mind from feeling concerned, hoping Sapphire would attend to whatever thing was going on on her behalf. She had already instructed Sapphire that she was entertaining no visitors that morning as she had a lot on her plate. Sapphire understood and had already adjusted Alexa's schedule.Now, Alexa couldn't comprehend the noise going on outside.
