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

    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.

    "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

    Though his heart twisted with heartbreak, nonetheless, he grabbed a seat as she had ordered earlier. His ego was hurt but he tried to maintain his composure and managed the warm smile etched on his face. He was disappointed still. That wasn't the way he had expected her to act upon seeing him. How could she not flinch at seeing this handsome and charming man like him? The Alexa he used to know would've instantly complimented him whenever she noticed anything new about him. But this one, she acted so indifferently and it really plagued Jordan. He couldn't help but wonder if he'd ever be able to achieve his plans with this attitude of hers. It was daunting, for real.However, he reminded himself of what was at stake. Getting disowned by their grandfather and losing his company wasn't an option; he didn't care how he'd have to do it, but he knew something needed to be done. Alexa must fall for him again, whether she liked it or not. Pondering this, he drew in a deep breath and exhaled b

    Jordan remained quiet for a moment as he contemplated his inner thoughts. He was wracking his brain for a solution on how he could break past Alexa's barricades. He realized nothing seemed to be working on her, well, because he hadn't really attempted his real charm on her yet. He was still being sluggish with it, maybe it was finally time to do that.Jordan pressed a smile to his face, his emerald orbs directed at Alexa in a calculating stare. He paused for a few seconds, their eyes locked on each other's before he finally started as he uncrossed his arms across his torso."I'm sorry, baby." He apologized randomly, his voice thick with emotion.Alexa was undoubtedly caught off-guard by Jordan's abrupt apology.His tone filled with seriousness, Jordan persisted. "I'm sorry for all the shit I put you through. You didn't deserve that..."Alexa's jaws tightened and she barked at him as she felt he was only feigning to be concerned."Enough with that, it's too late to apologize. You had f

    He was rendered speechless, his lips slightly parting with shock.Jordan swallowed hard as he absorbed Alexa's words.

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.

    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

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.

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.

How the fuck is this possible?" She blurted out to herself, her gaze faltering with despair.She remained quiet for a moment, trying to absorb her thoughts. Eventually, when she couldn't accept the revelation, she decided to search Google for proof-- There was no way it could've been the same worthless wife of Jordan that had turned out to be his prosecutor.

    "What do you think they're going to say when they find out they're secretly fucking?" Henry asked huskily as he trailed his finger along the curves of Luciana's naked body."They will be shocked, that's one thing I know for sure," Luciana answered weakly.

    Luciana Henderson wiped away the tears from her eyes before heading over to her car outside. She settled in, grabbing the steering wheel as she forced herself to regain her composure. She drew in a deep breath, shutting her eyes for a moment as she allowed the air to cool her face.Eventually, she fluttered her eyes open, her expression inscrutable. She glanced over at the rearview mirror, staring at her reflection for a while. After that, she sighed again and raked her fingers through her hair, trying to gather her thoughts.She wasn't pleased with herself as she hadn't been able to accomplish the reason behind her visit.
