EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 023
"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

Tyler escorted Alexa out to the waiting car after they informed Elena they'd be on their way. He opened the car door for her and closed it gently before jogging around to settle behind the wheels. Before he started the ignition, he stole a glance at her and complimented her once again. Alexa couldn't suppress the blush that rose to her cheeks and she shyly averted her gaze as she felt her stomach curling butterflies. Tyler was pleased by her reaction and he chuckled enthusiastically before revving the car onto the road. The drive to the venue was a tranquil one, but they barely said a thing to each other as their eyes did the talking whenever they met. Alexa looked at the window, several thoughts racing through her mind as she anticipated what tonight held. Tyler pulled by the parking lot of the restaurant nearly twenty minutes later. Upon arriving at the five-star restaurant he had booked for their date, he graciously pulled out a chair for Alexa as they made their way to their

It took Alexa a minute or two to regain her composure as disbelief marred her face. She was silent as she contemplated her thoughts, regarding Tyler thoughtfully.As she stared at him, she wondered what was going through his mind. How was she to answer his numerous inquiries? She needed to be as discreet as she could as she was still unready to reveal to him that the big convict, Jordan Salvador, was a huge part of her past, in fact, the main reason she was the way she was. Alexa knew if something like this went out, Tyler would feel like he had a competition, and also, he wouldn't be happy with her, knowing she had kept this secret from him for so long and also used him as a means to seek retribution against Jordan.A pang of anxiety gripped Alexa but her composure remained maintained. Tyler didn't take his eyes off her until she finally parted her lips to drop a response."Uhm..." Alexa started skeptically, heaving a sigh as she made to continue. "Which do you need me to answer fir

Alexa was momentarily stunned as she heard his inquiry. She was fazed as her frown deepened. She hadn't seen that question coming, and she inwardly pondered the reason behind Tyler's inquiry. That was so unexpected."Huh?" Alexa finally blurted out after a moment of silence. Tyler's gaze was still fixated on her hopefully, patiently awaiting her response.Heaving out a deep sigh, Alexa shook her head gently, conveying her confusion. "I- I don't get it, why are you asking me that, if I may ask?"Tyler licked his lips and regarded her respectfully before starting. "I didn't mean to pry into your privacy, Lex, I just wanted to know...""I know, and I'm asking why?" Alexa interrupted him, impatience swirling within her.Tyler paused as he gazed at her. He then ran his fingers through his hair nervously and heaved out, trying to settle his unraveling nerves. "I really do like you, Alexa McKanne, and I want you to be my woman but I can't help but always think the reason behind your reluctan

The door to the dimly lit room creaked open, effectively causing Jordan Salvador to dart his gaze towards the entrance in expectation of the one whom he had been anticipating her arrival. A blend of relief and exhaustion coursed through him as he locked eyes with the ruthless female prosecutor, who approached his side with an expressionless face. Of course, this prosecutor was Alexa.Jordan leaned back in his chair, his eyes still fixated on her as he watched her grab the chair across his and settle into it without even sparing him a glance. Jordan felt his heart twist hurtfully but he pushed aside his pain."Hey, baby," he started, choosing to greet her first since she clearly had no intentions of doing that.Disregarding his pleasantries, Alexa placed her work files on the desk, getting right into business as she brought out the necessary files. She neatly arranged them as needed before finally lifting her gaze to meet Jordan's.A smile crossed Jordan's face but it shortly faltered

"Yeah, I'll take those," Luciana told the florist as she pointed at a peculiar bouquet of roses on the flower counter.The florist, a young lady, nodded briskly before making her way to retrieve the flowers from the counter. Thereafter, heading inside the shop to package them nicely for Luciana.Luciana's heart thudded in her chest as she glanced at her surroundings, her gaze occasionally traveling to observe the watch adorning her wrist as though she was late for a meeting. This was because she had booked an appointment in someone else's name in order to visit a special person on this day. Surprisingly, the person she intended to visit with the bouquet of roses she had just gotten from the flower shop, was Alexa. Funny, right?Luciana had resolved after she met with Raven the other day that the only way she would be able to keep Alexa off her tracks was by befriending her and using that means to uncover Alexa's secrets. They said to keep your enemies close, right? This was the strate

Ivy was delicately scrolling through some piles of documents that related to Jordan's case when her mother abruptly walked into her room. Her presence disrupted Ivy's focus as Catherine called for her attention."Hey," Catherine greeted as she covered the gap between them.Lifting her gaze to match hers, Ivy expelled a weary sigh as she lowered the paperwork in her hand. "Hey, Mom,""What are you doing?" Catherine asked, her gaze peering at the workload on Ivy's desk. She frowned as she accessed the piles of documents. "That seems like a lot."Glancing at the workload, Ivy couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Yeah, I'm so exhausted..." As she leaned back in her chair for a break, that was when she noticed the time on the wall clock hung in her room. "Damn, past 10?" Ivy noted sharply.Settling into the chair beside Ivy, Catherine chuckled at her bewilderment. "Yeah, how long have you been working here?" "Since I got back from Grandfather's office..." Ivy sighed and added. "Nearly six

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
