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
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
"...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
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
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
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
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
Tyler Sterling returned to his hotel room after the conclusion of his meeting with one of the significant clients he had gone to see in the other city. 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
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
