EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 036
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

Alexa's eyes darted to the entrance as she noticed someone walk past the door. But she wasn't prepared for the guest that stood beside Sapphire as Sapphire made her way to her."Hey, ma'am, you have a visitor," Sapphire told Alexa as she approached her desk. She added in a quiet voice so just Alexa could hear her. "I'm not really familiar with her but she claims she's your relative or something..." Alexa was still in a daze, trying to regain her composure. She hadn't realized she had gone silent for more than a minute until Tyler's voice on the other end pulled her from her reverie."Hey, baby, you there?" Tyler asked with concern, noticing Alexa's sudden silence. "What's going on?"Alexa blinked weakly as his voice resonated in her ears. Realization dawned on her that she was still on a call with him so she quickly returned her attention back to him.Reassuring him, she spoke. "Hey, I'm still here... Can I call you back? Something came up just now.""What's that? Are you going to be

A brief silence settled between them after Alexa's response. Catherine was dumbstruck, unable to believe what Alexa had told her to do. Glancing around herself and observing the distance between them, Catherine's face contorted with skepticism as she turned to face Alexa once more.Her brows scrunched up. "Are you being serious?" She questioned skeptically.Alexa shrugged and sighed heavily. "Did I laugh when I said that?""No, you didn't.""So, why the question?" She wiggled her brows at Catherine before prompting further. "Could you go straight to the point already? You're wasting the time I don't have."Catherine gulped, trying to swallow the lump that formed in her throat amidst trying to swallow down the humiliation from Alexa. She felt a wave of mortification wash over her as she grappled with Alexa's nonchalance and indifference. Nonetheless, she tried to remind herself of the main reason she was in her office; she was here on a mission. She couldn't let her emotions get in th

"So, do you mind sharing with me how you managed to navigate through all the chaos of the past four years?" Catherine inquired after she had gotten settled into her seat. They had already tackled a light conversation before she mustered the courage to ask Alexa this. A reassuring smile adorned Catherine's face as she reciprocated Alexa's gaze, awaiting her response.On the other hand, Alexa observed Catherine intently. She hadn't fully placed her trust in her yet but was simply just playing along to see where all this would lead. She was very certain Catherine was only putting on a front to appear innocent, but Alexa would not be fooled. She had been through this before.Maintaining her calmness, Alexa managed a smile and shrugged casually as she leaned back in her chair. "I worked hard." She stated, lifting her brows nonchalantly. "That's just it."Catherine nodded briskly with a sense of pride washing over her features. "Hmm, I'm impressed. I always knew you were resilient."When

Alexa hung up and started the ignition of her car before maneuvering her way out of the parking lot. Her face brimmed with amusement as she reflected on her earlier conversation with Catherine. She couldn't place it but something about their encounter just amused her so much. Unlike the last time, Alexa found herself less annoyed about meeting with her. Maybe it was because she noticed the old lady's puny efforts at trying to convince her that she was a changed person. I mean, who actually tries so hard to sell a facade like that?Alexa couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she dwelled in her thoughts. "What a fucking joke." She muttered as she shook her head pathetically, making a right turn onto the road.Twenty minutes later, Alexa arrived at the school, pulling up to the curb of the parking lot. She exited her car with two lunch packs in her hands."Mommy!" Atlas was the first to spot her and he let out an excited squeal as he broke free from Elena's grasp and dashed toward his

Alexa decided it would be best not to press the child further with questions until they returned home. She gently lifted Blair into her arms, placing soft kisses on her temples before making her way to the car, where Elena and Atlas were already waiting.As soon as she entered the vehicle, Elena's eyes reflected her concern. "What was that all about?" she inquired, confusion lacing her tone."You tell me," Alexa replied curtly, turning the ignition. "You're the one responsible for watching over them at school. How could you let this happen?" Her voice was clipped.Elena was taken aback. "What?" she exclaimed, her brows knitting together. "Are you really placing the blame on me right now?""I’d rather not discuss it," Alexa stated firmly, avoiding eye contact.Deep down, Alexa recognized that her frustration was manifesting in an unusual manner. It wasn’t her intention to lash out; but, she was bewildered and upset by the fact that a stranger had approached her daughter while Elena was

A wave of panic coursed through Luciana, prompting her to back away from Henry as her eyes locked with Ivy's shocked ones."What the fuck is going on here?" Ivy's instant demand caused her heart to race with trepidation as a gulp walked down her throat.Luciana's throat ran dry, her breath hitching as she tried to form a meaningful response. She stole a glance at Henry and noticed the shocked expression disappearing from his face and being replaced by a nonchalant one.Returning her gaze to Ivy, Luciana's heart hammered in her chest as she absorbed the glare Ivy directed at her."Hello, Ivy," Luciana spoke up after a moment, breaking the tension and trying her best to be as casual as possible.But Ivy wasn't buying any of that. Instead, she eyed Luciana suspiciously, her eyes roaming her body and registering the outfit she was putting on. Ivy shook her head in disapproval, a look of disgust marring her face as she redirected her gaze at Luciana. "I cannot believe this...""You cannot

Luciana arrived at the Salvador's company a few minutes past eleven that morning. She was clad in a black slit skirt that perfectly accentuated her curves, matching it with a light blue blouse. Her hair was styled in soft waves and it flowed down her shoulders as she walked elegantly towards the gigantic building.She felt nervous about being seen despite putting on shades that partly concealed her face. She clutched her purse against her hip as she headed towards the elevator.She felt a pang of anxiety gripped her. She hadn't informed Henry she was coming to see him. She couldn't help but wonder how he was going to react to her abrupt visit. Luciana already knew how this was going to end. The thought of it had her heart racing with excitement.The elevator finally dinged after a few seconds since she entered, announcing her arrival at the top floor. Upon stepping out, Luciana glanced around to ensure either her mother-in-law or Grandfather Torrey wasn't around her. She felt very anx

Luciana yawned as she fluttered her eyes open that morning. Realizing what had transpired between her and Henry the previous night, her mind was on alert, and she quickly darted her gaze to check if he was asleep by her side on the bed. To her greatest disappointment, she was met with the vacant side of the bed.Her heart pricked her painfully and she hissed with irritation. She glanced at the room to grab a trace of him but there was none. He was gone. It was as though he never came by the previous night. It was as though Henry never came over to her house and made love to her when she least expected it. Though Luciana was hurt, reminiscing about their love-making the previous night, her heart fluttered with delight. At least that was a start at getting Henry back. She knew he couldn't resist her, she'd just have to try harder to win his attention.With this resolve in mind, Luciana hauled herself out of bed, heading towards the bathroom first to get a quick shower before going over

Jordan was flabbergasted, his mind reeling with confusion as he blinked back to reality. "What the hell are you talking about? Luciana is having what?" He snapped, his shock palpable.Ivy sighed and chuckled, shaking her head as she replied. "Well, I said Luciana might be having an affair with Henry, our brother. Are you aware of that?""Might or is? Which exactly?" Jordan's brows scrunched up with bewilderment as he couldn't comprehend her words. He hated the fact that she was beating about the bush. His mind was already spiraling with conflicting thoughts, and he needed her confirmation of what she had just said.Ivy heaved a sigh, a weary smile etching her face as she leaned back on the chair. She hesitated, staring at Jordan like she was contemplating her thoughts.Jordan's impatience wore thin as he noticed Ivy's silence. "Just speak up already? What are you talking about? How did you find out about this? Is this even true?"Ivy finally responded after a moment. "Well, I'm hundre

Jordan returned to his cell after his meeting with Alexa ended. Several distressing thoughts gnawed at him as he took a seat on the bed, disregarding his inmate as he pondered his thoughts.Alexa's response to his request echoed in his mind, reminding him each time that Alexa had yet to forgive him and he wasn't making any progress like he thought he was. She had blatantly informed him that his request was on the waiting list; that was a whole new level of nonchalance and it surprised Jordan.Jordan's eyes flickered to the wall clock and he noted it was almost 2 PM. His heart surged with relief as he realized his sister would be here any moment. While he anticipated her arrival, he contemplated his thoughts, wondering if Alexa was going to ever agree to his proposal about the restitution. If she was ever going to agree someday for him to see his children. She had completely kept them away from him and it hurt him so much. If not for anything but the sake of the kids, he deserved to le

"Waiting list?" Jordan gasped, his heart clenching with bewilderment. "What does that even mean?" He asked, his panic-stricken orbs darting between Alexa's."I thought I just explained it to you." Alexa shot back. "I believe you're still a potential criminal and I'd like to get to the bottom of the matter before making a final decision!" She repeated, her voice laden with annoyance.Jordan shook his head, his brows knitting together in a frown. "Come on, baby, I thought we were making some progress here. You can't do that to me, come on, that ain't fair, you know that," He stated, disappointment lacing his tone.Alexa regarded him with a scoff before replying. "What do you know about fair and unfair things?"He was rendered speechless as his eyes bore into hers."You will let me handle this without any interruption..."Finding his sense of speech again, Jordan suggested. "Alexa, come on, you know you can still investigate this even when I'm out. I don't necessarily need to be here bef

It had already been a day since Mr. James's proposal regarding Jordan's release, yet his words still echoed in Alexa's mind like a mantra, causing her heart to twinge often as she struggled to navigate her thoughts.As she drove down the highway towards the States Prison, where she was holding a session with Jordan in a few minutes, Alexa took the moment to reflect on her thoughts and Mr. James's proposal as well. That suggestion had no doubt come as a surprise to her as she hadn't seen it coming. She had thought all matters would be resolved through the court process, whereby Jordan would likely face a sentence.A wave of heartbreak washed over Alexa, however, a part of her was glad that they had seen another method to resolve the issue. In as much as she hated Jordan and still wanted to make him pay, Alexa couldn't help but feel relieved that he wouldn't be punished unjustly. She had come to believe his claims about being innocent. Although she hadn't secured any backup or evidence

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
