"What are you reading...?" The question echoed into Alexa's ears, causing her to pause as she thought she hadn't heard him right. Skeptically, she redirected her gaze at him. "What?" She questioned instinctively, her phone clutched in her hand. Jordan pointed at her phone and repeated. "I said, what are you reading?" Alexa couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe his audacity. She blinked weakly, a chuckle rumbling from her as she registered his seriousness. She shook her head subtly as she regarded him for a moment before she lashed out. "The fuck do you mean what am I reading? Who the fuck do you think you are to even ask me that? How dare you." Alexa snapped with annoyance, her orbs glistening with resentment. Nonetheless, the billionaire shrugged nonchalantly and pointed out. "You came here to interrogate me, didn't you? I just think you should do that instead of getting carried away by anything that must have caught your attention earlier." Alexa was stunned. She hesit
Luciana Henderson was literally the last person Jordan had imagined would visit him while still in custody. Ever since they got divorced about a month ago, Luciana had left the country to who knows where. Jordan wasn't bothered about her and he never cared about where she had gone to. If anything, he still loathed her with every fiber of his being for all the heartache and mockery she had put him through. Luciana was a damn bitch, and if they hadn't been anywhere around the police, Jordan would have reciprocated her visitation with a harmful gesture; perhaps, snap her neck and send her to the hospital."The fuck are you doing here, Luciana?" He asked, his hard gaze lingering on her as he watched her approach his side. He was already upset. Luciana Henderson offered him a small smile, her cute dimples displaying on her rosy cheeks, complementing her fiery red hair that flowed down her shoulders in soft waves. She was dressed extravagantly in a furry white coat and she fidgeted her sun
Upon the revelation, Jordan had been livid. He confronted Luciana about it, and when she attempted to deny the claims, he slammed the DNA paperwork alongside divorce papers to her face, ordering her to get out of his life immediately.Jordan had been genuinely hurt, considering he also needed an heir to acquire his inheritance. It completely devastated him to learn that he had been fooled by Luciana for four whole years. He had wanted to seek extreme measures to ensure she paid for what she did, but Luciana had begged for his mercy, also promising she would flee the country and never cross his path again. After several times of begging, Jordan had heeded her pleas for the sake of the innocent toddler. He made a pact with Luciana that as long as she kept out of his way, he would stay out of hers. Guess that was all jokes, seeing the same woman who had fooled him, was sitting comfortably before him with nice clothes and expensive jewelries while Jordan rot in his shabby prison uniform.
"...Kids that look exactly like you,"Jordan was flabbergasted. "What?"Before now, Jordan had instructed Norman to carry out an investigation on Alexa. He had done that in attempts to access information he'd be able to use to manipulate while she interrogated him later on. Norman had been on it and had promised to get back to him as soon as he found something tangible. Surely, this was the last thing Jordan anticipated he'd find out; that Alexa had kids? The same Alexa who couldn't conceive for him and lost their baby in the hospital four years ago? And what the fuck did Norman mean by his last statement. 'Kids that look exactly like you.' What did that even mean? Jordan pondered.He could hardly believe his ears. If it hadn't been for his long-time friendship with Norman, he'd have concluded Norman was talking gibberish. But he knew that was unlike the man. He would never joke about anything, talk more of something that triggering, considering the hell Jordan had been through in L

Jordan's thoughts were a raging mess by the time he returned to his cell that evening after his meeting with Norman. He was consumed with distressing thoughts and questions he didn't have answers to. He was overthinking a lot and it greatly disturbed him. Norman's earlier claims regarding Alexa's supposed children repeated in his head like a mantra. His brows were furrowed in a frown as he contemplated each thought that swirled within him.'Kids that look exactly like you'. How true was this statement? Was Norman talking gibberish, or did he actually mean it? Was he trying to pull his legs or something? But Jordan realized Norman wasn't the kind of man who'd joke about something so sensitive. Then what was all this? Jordan pondered.As he reclined in the chair in his cell, he gazed up at the ceiling like it had the answers he was searching for.After a moment of contemplation without any reasonable conclusion, Jordan heaved out heavily. He lowered his gaze to the floor, trying to pus
"No. No damn way..." Catherine muttered absentmindedly as she shook her head. She was already registering Jordan's inquiry in her head and it frightened her to conclude with her suspicion."What is it, Mother? Did you recall something?" Jordan asked promptly, causing Catherine to pull off her thoughts.Though she was still fazed, she darted her eyes towards Jordan, regarding him with hesitation. Her lips were slightly parted in disbelief as she considered the possibilities of his claims. She found it hard to accept. How could that even be possible?"Talk to me, Mom, what's going on?" Jordan urged, seeing Catherine had suddenly gone mute.Catherine blinked weakly as her gaze faltered. Her frown only deepened when she locked eyes with Jordan's. In that instant, she caught a glimpse of a resemblance between the toddler she had seen with Alexa the other day and Jordan. Just as quickly as it had come, it also vanished like that. But Catherine noted it and this fazed her even more."Jordan?
"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

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
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
