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
As soon as she closed the car door behind her after settling in, Alexa heaved out an exasperated sigh, her heart racing with trepidation. She tossed her bag on the passenger's seat and grabbed the steering wheel for support.She paused for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts. Her emotions were heightened and she couldn't comprehend the reason why. Well, she could. It all started when she had seen Jordan's new appearance earlier. She hadn't been anticipating him to walk into her like that, looking badboysihly handsome and leaving her favorite part of his body exposed to her eyes. She had merely been able to contain her emotions when she saw him. Gosh, he looked so fine.Alexa could feel her heart racing nervously as she reminisced about the moment. Though her reaction earlier had been indifferent, she couldn't deny the fact that liquid pooled at her core as she remained in his intoxicating presence. Perhaps, it was from the way he had spoken to her in his mesmerizing voice or the w
The truth from the paper glared at Jordan as his eyes remained fixated on the paperwork. Jordan froze instantly, his insides coursing with disbelief. He couldn't believe it. For some reason, his chest tightened with pain as he grappled with the revelation. His hands holding the paper trembled slightly as his insides spiraled with turmoil."Boss, are you okay?" Norman asked when he noticed his boss's reaction to the news. Norman's words pierced through Jordan's thoughts but they weren't enough to pull him back to reality as he was still reeling with shock and confusion. His mind spiraled with the thoughts of 'how'?'How was this possible'?'How true was this'?'How had he not known'?'How had Alexa kept such significant information from him'?The one that plagued him the most was 'How Alexa had been able to conceive his children, right after her miscarriage had been declared to him. Or was it all farce? Did she deliberately plan that so she could have an excuse to leave him? Jordan s
After his meeting with Norman, Jordan was returning to his cell when he was informed that he had another visitor who had just come in right after Norman departed.Jordan's confusion was palpable as he couldn't comprehend how he had managed to encounter several visitors on this day. Well, how bad could it get? Maybe it was his mother who had arrived. Or someone else he knew. He thought as he retraced his steps, trailing behind the officer who led him to the visitation room.His mind was soon consumed with thoughts of Alexa and he didn't even notice the smile that etched across his face as he walked along. He was still basking in the good news regarding their children.But his joy was short-lived as he finally lifted his gaze after they had arrived at the visitation room. He halted in his tracks, his dissolving into a frown as he locked eyes with his ex, Luciana Henderson."The fuck are you doing here?" He demanded sharply. "I thought we've already talked about this. I said I didn't wan
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. Jordan hadn't given her what she came for. If anything, he had shut her out. But something greatly plagued Luciana and that was the fact that Jordan had already realized he was being framed.Anxiety washed over her as she grappled with her thoughts. She couldn't let him find out who the real culprit was; it would end her because she knew she was the one behind it al
"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. She had just woken up from her slumber. Nonetheless, she cradled Henry's face and lowered him to herself before brushing her lips past his, kissing him passionately. Henry smiled into the kiss, and he caressed her body smoothly, his hand finding his ts way to her core. Luciana moaned breathlessly as he slipped his thick digit into her entrance, thrusting in and out of her while he kissed her passionately. She cradled his hair, moaning in encouragement as he increased his pace. Eventually, her second orgasm crashed into her, and she gasped out, whimpering uncontrollably. After reeling from her climax, Luciana exhaled exasperatedly as they broke out from the kiss. She stared up at the ceiling, pondering for a moment. Henry excuse
Luciana was stunned to silence for a moment as she stared at Alexa's business info glaring at her from the computer. She was in shock. She hadn't expected this turnout and it fazed her. "How? 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. Maybe it was someone else who just bears the same name as hers; she tried to reassure herself of this.With this resolve, she grabbed the mouse nearby and began navigating her way into the computer, clicking on the Google app and searching for what was on her mind.It didn't take a second before Alexa's pictures popped on her screen, causing Luciana's heart to clench with shock. So it was indeed true. Alexa was really Jordan's prosecutor. Ho
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
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
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
