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

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

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

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

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 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
