"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

    Seated somewhat uncomfortably behind the large table, Catherine Salvador found herself surrounded by the board of directors at JS Enterprises. Her lips formed a tight line, and her expression remained impassive as she focused intently on the young man currently presenting before the board.He was tall and strikingly handsome, with raven-black hair slicked back, giving him a fierce yet appealing demeanor. Sharply dressed in a tailored suit, he exuded an air of sophistication and confidence.

    By the time Catherine concluded her meeting with Torrey, she was seething with sheer annoyance. Despite his success in provoking her, she had managed to keep her composure in front of him as expressing her anger was not an option she dared to consider.Torrey's harsh words had left her stunned into silence, her heart racing in disbelief. She had stared at him for a moment, grappling with the weight of his statements, before finally excusing herself under the pretense of needing to visit Jordan. Torrey had permitted her to leave, but the damage was already done.Now, she stood outside his office, fury coursed through her veins. Her resentment for the older man had only intensified after their conversation. She just couldn't believe him. How could he say such cruel things about his own grandson, her only son?Like her day couldn't get any worse, her eyes caught sight of someone approaching her direction.

    "Hmm, nice work. You got your girl coming over today?" One of the inmates asked as they noticed Jordan's cautious activity in the restroom that morning.Jordan, who had been busy carefully shaving off the hair on his face, paused when he heard the man.He stole a glance at him and shrugged. "Yeah, something like that." Redirecting his gaze to the mirror before him, he stared at himself. He felt a pang of unfulfillment and his chest heaved in despair. He further exhaled before continuing what he had done earlier. When he was done he washed his face and tossed the shaving stick into the trash bin nearby. Jordan gazed at his reflection once more, and this time, he was a bit impressed by how he looked. He now had a clean-shaven, sharp jaw that complemented his charm. Releasing another sigh, his gaze shifted to his hair and he frowned, noticing how unkempt it looked. It didn't match his clean-shaven jaw and it made him look dirty. He didn't like that. He quickly contemplated how he could

It had been successful and Tyler was glad to return with fulfillment. It was already past 5 pm when he arrived at the suite.He stripped off his suit jacket, exhaling heavily as he draped it on the chair nearby before heading over to hit the shower. He let the waters cascade down his body, offering him solace and relief as he remained beneath the shower for a brief moment.When he was done bathing, he returned to the living to get dressed in just a pair of boxer briefs and a singlet to clad his well-sculpted chest.He paced about the room, searching for his cellular device as he wanted to see the picture of Alexa on his phone. It served him great comfort each time he stared and admired her beauty. When he finally found the gadget, he retired to bed, taking the moment to scroll through his gallery until he found the picture of her he wa

    Alexa momentarily froze, her heart racing with trepidation. Indeed, just as she had suspected before now, Jordan had already learned about the kids' existence. Anxiety tugged at her heartstrings as she contemplated her inner turmoil. She wondered how he had gotten to know. Perhaps, it was Catherine who had said something to him after her visit and seeing the way she had been protective about her children. So there was no need to confront Jordan on how he got to know about that information. Alexa mused. "Answer me, Alexa. I think I deserve to know that, don't I? That's the least you could do after keeping it a secret from me all this while." Jordan's voice resonated in her ears once more, breaking into her train of thought.Alexa struggled to regain her composure, but when she finally did, her anxiety transformed into anger as she stared up at him, registering his audacity."What?" She exclaimed, regarding him with disbelief. But Jordan's expression was inscrutable, his eyes observin

    He was rendered speechless, his lips slightly parting with shock.Jordan swallowed hard as he absorbed Alexa's words. A wave of disbelief washed over him as he averted his gaze, struggling to grasp the reality that Luciana had actually confronted Alexa. What the fuck? He seethed inwardly. But he was still skeptical that Luciana would do such a thing.Jordan turned his gaze to Alexa. "Are you certain about this, baby?" Jordan finally asked, confusion evident in his voice.Alexa regarded and scoffed with irritation. "Why on earth would I fabricate that? Your stupid mistress barged into my office, threatening me to stay away from you as if I were even remotely interested. You need to keep your leech on that bitch, Jordan, because the next time she pulls a stunt like that, I won't hold back to retaliate, and I don't think you wouldn't suffer the consequences for her actions too." Her serious tone underscored her warning."What? But I didn't do anything." Jordan protested in disbelief.Ale

    Jordan settled into the chair facing Alexa in the interrogation room, having just finished a meeting with his mother an hour prior. He had been looking forward to this session with Alexa while he waited in his cell, and now that he was in her presence, a wave of relief washed over him as he inhaled her sweet scent. This was his favorite moment.Although Alexa remained completely absorbed in her laptop, ignoring his arrival, Jordan didn’t mind her disregard. He leaned back in his seat, his heart fluttering inexplicably as he admired her. He noticed her hair cascading in radiant waves down her shoulders, her light makeup accentuating her sharp eyes that sparkled behind her glasses. Each glance filled him with admiration, intensifying his infatuation."I thought I warned you to stop staring at me like that?" Alexa's voice cut through his thoughts, startling him. He quickly composed himself and cleared his throat as he realized he had been caught.Speaking sincerely, he confessed, "You c

    Jordan matched Catherine’s gaze as he sat across from her in the visitation room. She had just returned to see him the day after her visit with Alexa. She was obviously there to give him the update."How did it go?" Jordan inquired, breaking the silence. His eyes were fixed on her as he awaited her answer.He had just finished eating and Catherine had insisted she'd only tell him what happened after he was done with his lunch.Heaving a sigh, Catherine shook her head, a look of regret washing over her. "It was futile, Jordan. She rejected the gifts and stated she wanted nothing to do with our family... She’s furious, Jordan, and I fear it will take a long time to change her mind." She sighed, resting her palm against her face in frustration. Jordan absorbed her words, taking a moment to process the information. He fell silent, reflecting inwardly. Alexa’s rejection of the gifts came as no surprise; her hostility and indifference were clear indicators of her feelings. But he felt his

    "...Are those my grandchildren?"Alexa paused, momentarily taken aback by Catherine's question. The two women locked eyes, an unspoken exchange of emotions passing between them. Alexa felt her insides spiraling with turmoil. Deep down, Alexa wondered why Catherine felt entitled to ask such a thing. Could it be she had uncovered the truth? She wondered. Was she the same woman who had attempted to touch Blair's hair at school? A flood of troubling thoughts raced through Alexa's mind, leaving her momentarily dazed and struggling to find clarity as she stared back at Catheine absentmindedly.On the other hand, Catherine grappled with what she had just witnessed. The resemblance she hadn't noticed before, especially from the female twin. She looked so much like Jordan, and it fazed Catherine; for a moment, she thought of believing. However, she was still reluctant to give Alexa the benefit of the doubt. She'd always hated Alexa and didn't trust her. She always perceived her as a cheat sinc

    That same morning when Luciana paid a visit to Alexa, Catherine was also visiting her son in prison. She had gone bearing food. She urged him to eat while he told her about the recent discovery.Astonishment washed over Catherine as she struggled to process Jordan's words. She blinked in confusion as she reciprocated his gaze."It's been confirmed, Mother. Alexa really has my children. Norman brought me the DNA results yesterday. I truly believe it now." Jordan revealed, his orbs glinting with determination and belief.Meanwhile, Catherine's heart clenched in shock, and she fell silent for a moment, allowing the revelation to sink in. Jordan patiently gave her the space to absorb the news. He already expected she would be shocked when he finally told her. I mean, who wouldn't?After a brief pause, Catherine stammered, disbelief lacing her words. "B-but how? How is that even possible? Didn't Alexa suffer a miscarriage then?" Her brows furrowed in a frown. The news didn't sit well with

    Alexa was still deeply absorbed in her work that morning when she began hearing noises coming from outside her office. Though she heard the noise, she was reluctant to lift her gaze as she was still tackling the workload and didn't want to entertain any distractions whatsoever. She tried to shake off her mind from feeling concerned, hoping Sapphire would attend to whatever thing was going on on her behalf. She had already instructed Sapphire that she was entertaining no visitors that morning as she had a lot on her plate. Sapphire understood and had already adjusted Alexa's schedule.Now, Alexa couldn't comprehend the noise going on outside. She ran a finger through her hair as she navigated her way to the computer, keeping her mind preoccupied. But eventually, it got to a point where she could no longer turn a deaf ear to what was going on. Her curiosity was piqued as she caught a tail of Sapphire's voice, informing someone herself was in but the visitor couldn't be allowed to pass i
