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

    "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?

    "Here are the additional files you requested, ma'am," Sapphire added as she placed down the workload of files in her hand on Alexa's desk. Alexa, who had been working tirelessly behind her computer, lifted her gaze to observe the workload and she couldn't help but exhale heavily, knowing she had a long day ahead of her. "Are these all of them?" She eventually asked, shifting her gaze to Sapphire, who nodded in affirmation in response to her inquiry.Alexa continued with a breathy response. "Okay, that's fine. I'll look into it alright? Thank you, Sapphire,""Always, Ma'am." She smiled genially. "If you need anything else, just let me know.""I sure will." Alexa managed a smile before urging her to return to her office, which was only a few feet away from hers since they shared the same space.Alexa resumed working after Sapphire had exited her presence. She engrossed herself in her work because she found it as a means to also escape her chaotic reality. Knowing each time she lost c

    As Mr. James's words echoed throughout the room, the tension within grew. Alexa, whose heart had been pounding in her chest watched out for Sapphire's bewildered gaze. She expected her to have an outburst about what was going on as no one in their office ever knew Alexa was once married, talk more of being once married to the same client she was currently prosecuting.Alexa's heart leaped as she realized a big part of her secret had been revealed low-key by James. However, her expression remained neutral even though her heart was thumping with anxiousness as everyone in the room remained silent.She had lied to her colleagues, including Sapphire and Tyler, that she had no marriage to anyone before. Because her marriage to Jordan was now a thing of her past and she wanted it to remain that way, she had refused to reveal the truth to anyone that once asked about her children's father.Eventually, after a moment of eerie silence in the room, Alexa cleared her throat as Sapphire refused t

    As Alexa made a right turn on the road, the thought that had been gnawing at her for a while now caused her to sigh as she regained her composure."I still can't understand any of it," She muttered to Elena's hearing.Elena, who was looking out the window before as she mentally prepared her mind for another day in school, turned as Alexa's words sailed into her ears.She regarded Alexa's demeanor, her tense expression and she couldn't help but ask as she corked her brows at her."Can't understand any of what?"Alexa drew in a deep breath and exhaled before revealing. "Luciana came by my office yesterday, offering a helping hand on Jordan's case."Elena was fazed, her brows raising. "Huh?"Disregarding her reaction, Alexa continued. "She apologized, even brought me flowers as an attempt at reconciliation, which I obviously declined... But you needed to see how she genuinely apologized for every wrong she had caused. It's crazy for real.""Hold on, Alexa." Elena licked her lips, her fro

    He rammed into her unexpectedly, causing Luciana to scream as a mix of immense pain and pleasure coursed through her. Henry's cock was buried deep inside her channel but he paused, allowing her to adjust to his size as he had taken her unexpectedly. His dick pulsated inside of her as her walls clamped around him."Uh, uh, fuck," Luciana moaned, seeing stars of ecstasy flying above her head as her eyes rolled into her head. She yanked the bedsheet for support, unable to comprehend how he had gotten so big since the last time.Their bodies joined; Henry paused, watching her as she struggled to catch her breaths, her face twisting with pain. Henry lowered himself to calm her down, his lips latching onto hers as he made to reduce her discomfort. "Fuck me already, please," Luciana whimpered amidst the kiss as he began moving in and out of her in a slow yet deep thrust.Luciana caressed his head, brushing her lips against his as he began fucking her, his pace increasing slowly with each pa

    That evening, after tucking her son into bed, Luciana made her way to her bedroom. She removed her clothes and stepped into the shower.As the warm water cascaded over her, she reflected on the events of the day, particularly her meeting with Alexa. It struck her that after numerous pleas, Alexa had finally lent her an attentive ear. Luciana chuckled to herself, acknowledging that her manipulative tactics had once again proven effective.However, as she thought back on the outcome of their meeting, a sense of disappointment washed over her. Alexa offered no encouragement for Luciana's aspirations to join her team; instead, she had cautioned her to stay out of her business affairs and focus on her own.Luciana opened her eyes, releasing a frustrated huff as she collected her thoughts. "She's insufferable," she muttered under her breath while reaching for her body wash.Setting aside thoughts of Alexa, she poured the liquid onto her skin and began to cleanse herself, the water continuin

    A wave of relief coursed through Luciana, learning Alexa had agreed to give her listening ears. Even though Alexa had declined her from entering her office, Luciana felt grateful regardless.Shattering the silence that had descended upon them after Alexa's declaration earlier, Luciana finally spoke up. "Firstly, I'd like to apologize. I know I haven't really offered you an apology for everything that has happened and has been happening. I've confronted you twice now because of Jordan; regardless, you still gave me the chance to talk to you right now. I know I don't deserve that and I just want you to know how grateful I am to you."As Luciana's heartfelt apology streamed into Alexa's ears, Alexa couldn't help but wonder if it was the same Luciana she knew. It was very strange to see her apologizing like this. Nonetheless, Alexa remained quiet, allowing her to finish her big speech. She still had her doubts about Luciana and wasn't ready to give her any benefit of the doubt.Luciana's

    "Ma'am, you have an appointment in ten minutes," Sapphire announced politely, prompting Alexa to glance up from her computer, her brow furrowing in confusion."An appointment?" Alexa replied, bewildered. "Who is it with?"She had just asked about her daily schedule when Sapphire revealed the existence of an appointment she was completely unaware of.Sapphire narrowed her eyes at the file she held, reading aloud, "Maria Gonzalez."The name struck Alexa as somewhat peculiar, leading her to scoff, as she had no familiarity with it. "Maria what?""Gonzalez," Sapphire repeated, maintaining eye contact with Alexa.Alexa shook her head, leaning back in her chair. "I don't know who that is... Do you have any idea who she might be?" She asked Sapphire, struggling to comprehend the unfamiliar name. The thought of meeting with someone she had never encountered before unsettled her."No idea, ma'am, but she did mention that it was urgent," Sapphire replied, cutting through Alexa's thoughts and br

    "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
