Luciana sighed wearily upon his inquiry. Though her heart raced inexplicably, she forced herself to remain composed. She had anticipated this as she knew sooner or later he'd bring up the topic. She still couldn't comprehend why he wanted a serious relationship all of a sudden. Nonetheless, she wasn't bothered to know his true intentions as she wasn't interested, and she never will be. Her only problem was getting him to understand that.

Pulling from her thoughts, Luciana pouted as she gazed at Henry, who observed her from the other side.

"I thought we've already talked about this, Henry..."

Henry cut her off by shaking his head. "No, we haven't. You simply told me the supposed consequences you'd face if you got involved with me publicly... You still haven't given me a response, baby," He wiggled his brows at her in a reminder.

Luciana hesitated, words stuck in her throat. She then exhaled and shrugged as she rose to her feet. "Henry..." She started softly but a gesture from Henry c

    Luciana's heart raced nervously as she glanced towards the entrance from time to time, anticipating bubbling within her as she waited for him to show up. She took off her sunglasses and rearranged strands of her neatly styled hair, her insides clenching and unclenching at nothing. She was nervous, not that this was even the first time she'd be seeing him in prison. She couldn't comprehend the pang of anxiety that gripped her heart each time she darted her gaze to the entrance. On this day, she was extra nervous and perplexed. Perhaps, it was because of Henry's accusations earlier. Luciana tried to shake off the thoughts of him and focus on the present, the main reason she was currently seated behind the counter in the visitor's room of the state prison.She glanced at the watch adorning her wrist for the umpteenth time and noted it had already been five minutes since she arrived, and he had yet to show up. Luciana couldn't comprehend the reason for his delay. She couldn't help but wo

Luciana froze momentarily as Henry's inquiry resonated in her ears. Her heart began racing rapidly as her eyes darted between his annoyed orbs. She noted his hardened expression. She could tell he was upset but judging by the way he looked at her optimistically, Luciana could guess he didn't know the full truth. Perhaps, he just had his suspicions and wanted her to clarify his thoughts. Yes, that may be it. Luciana thought to herself inwardly. Swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat as she met his glaring gaze, she heaved out wearily as she recoiled from him but Henry's grip around her waist tightened posses

    "We're ready, Lex... Are you?" Elena's voice resonated through Alexa's room door, reaching Alexa, who was still lying on the bed tiredly.Alexa exhaled exasperatedly as she fluttered her eyes open. She stretched her tired limbs on the bed before glancing at the clock on the bedstand to see it was already past 8 AM. She instantly bolted to her feet, shocked to see she was waking up so late. How had this happened? She questioned inwardly as she hauled herself out of bed."Just a second, I'm coming." She shot back at Elena even though she couldn't see her. "Okay," Elena's voice came through, followed by the faint sound of footsteps walking down the hallway.Alexa exhaled heavily as she glanced around before she found the mirror. She stared at her reflection and saw she was a mess; her hair was disheveled and bags were beneath her eyes, making her look awkward.She scoffed Incredulously at herself as she observed her features. This is what happens when someone works overnight for an assh

    "Oh my goodness, Elena, I can't believe you would do that to me," Alexa said in annoyance as she swiftly pulled by the road.Her laughter subsiding, Elena asked with confusion. "What are you doing?"Alexa grabbed onto the rearview mirror, directing it towards her face. "I'm trying to see for myself. I can't afford to humiliate myself in front of him..." She replied tersely as she observed her features in the mirror. She noticed the faint bags beneath her eyes and she cursed inwardly. "Well, it's really not that bad... I'll fix it when I get to the office." She heaved out a sigh as she repositioned the mirror before reclining back in her seat.Regaining her composure, she turned on the ignition and resumed driving again. "Hmm," Elena started, breaking the silence that had enveloped them."What?" Alexa asked, puzzled.Shrugging, she replied. "It's nothing... You just seem to be a little concerned about what Jordan has to say about your appearance."Alexa's brows scrunched up at her wor

    "It's just a meeting, Alexa. It's not even the first time; you've got this." These words repeated in Alexa's mind like a mantra as she remained seated in the car, mentally preparing herself for her upcoming session with Jordan.She had already arrived at the Police department parking lot a few minutes ago but she was reluctant to step out as her nerves kept unraveling with anxiety. And yes, she had already fixed the eye bags with make-up. She was simply struggling to maintain her composure each time she recalled Jordan had attempted to kiss her the other day. What if he tried to do that again? And what the heck was that emotion she felt when he had pulled her to himself for a kiss? Alexa pondered as she berated herself in the car. She was reluctant to admit it to herself but she was aware of how her body had reacted to that simple act from Jordan. How her insides had pulsated with desires for a minute before she quickly reprimanded herself. With each passing realization, Alexa's insi

    "Sorry for yourself," She retorted, redirecting her gaze at the paperwork.Jordan felt his heart twinge with disappointment. He hated the emotional barricades Alexa had strongly built around herself. He realized the more he tried to make up for his mistakes by flirting with her and displaying some shows of concern, the harder it seemed for him to win her over. He couldn't fathom how she had turned out to be this cold-hearted and nonchalant woman."Have you spoken with an attorney yet?" Alexa's voice sliced through his thoughts, bringing him back to reality.Jordan licked his lips as he met her gaze. He shook his head slightly. "I will do that soon."Alexa's brows scrunched up with confusion. "I don't understand you... Isn't that what you were supposed to do since the moment you got arrested? How long has it been?"Running his fingers through his hair, Jordan exhaled exasperatedly, realizing she was right. "I honestly don't know but I'm working on it.""Are you sure you really want to

    It had already been several hours since the conclusion of her session with Jordan, and currently, Alexa was in the kitchen with Elena as they prepared dinner together. Alexa was consumed by her thoughts as she paced about the kitchen, trying so hard to distract herself from the cooking duties. But no matter how hard she tried to push aside her thoughts for a moment, Jordan's pleas kept echoing in her mind like a mantra. She was sick of it but there was nothing much she could do about it. The image of him kneeling before her earlier replayed in her mind, causing her heart to churn with anguish. Shaking her head gently, Alexa tried to concentrate on the ingredients she was chopping. But the harder she tried, the more difficult it seemed for her to stop thinking about him. About his situation, and his pleas for a second chance. No doubt, Alexa had pondered over his words for the last hours. She had considered helping him but dismissed that thought as she knew Jordan didn't deserve her h

    "Yeah, I'll take those," Luciana told the florist as she pointed at a peculiar bouquet of roses on the flower counter.The florist, a young lady, nodded briskly before making her way to retrieve the flowers from the counter. Thereafter, heading inside the shop to package them nicely for Luciana.Luciana's heart thudded in her chest as she glanced at her surroundings, her gaze occasionally traveling to observe the watch adorning her wrist as though she was late for a meeting. This was because she had booked an appointment in someone else's name in order to visit a special person on this day. Surprisingly, the person she intended to visit with the bouquet of roses she had just gotten from the flower shop, was Alexa. Funny, right?Luciana had resolved after she met with Raven the other day that the only way she would be able to keep Alexa off her tracks was by befriending her and using that means to uncover Alexa's secrets. They said to keep your enemies close, right? This was the strate

    Ivy was delicately scrolling through some piles of documents that related to Jordan's case when her mother abruptly walked into her room. Her presence disrupted Ivy's focus as Catherine called for her attention."Hey," Catherine greeted as she covered the gap between them.Lifting her gaze to match hers, Ivy expelled a weary sigh as she lowered the paperwork in her hand. "Hey, Mom,""What are you doing?" Catherine asked, her gaze peering at the workload on Ivy's desk. She frowned as she accessed the piles of documents. "That seems like a lot."Glancing at the workload, Ivy couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Yeah, I'm so exhausted..." As she leaned back in her chair for a break, that was when she noticed the time on the wall clock hung in her room. "Damn, past 10?" Ivy noted sharply.Settling into the chair beside Ivy, Catherine chuckled at her bewilderment. "Yeah, how long have you been working here?" "Since I got back from Grandfather's office..." Ivy sighed and added. "Nearly six

    Ivy entered the expansive building situated in the city's core after parking her car in the garage.Her strides were confident and resolute as she approached the company's entrance, her expression neutral. With her head held high, she walked past her colleagues, making her way to the elevator.Though Ivy was acutely aware of the curious glances directed at her, she remained unfazed. She understood that her presence often commanded attention. However, at that moment, she speculated that their astonished looks stemmed either from her striking appearance or their surprise at her return to the company.It was difficult for Ivy to recall how long it had been since her last visit. Nevertheless, she took a deep breath as she rode the elevator alone to her grandfather Torrey's office on the top floor.Upon her grandfather's response to her knocking, Ivy gently turned the doorknob and stepped into the spacious office.There, she found her grandfather engrossed in a stack of documents at his de

    "Have you heard from Grandpa yet?" Jordan asked, breaking free from his thoughts and searching Ivy's eyes for answers.Ivy let out a weary sigh and shook her head. "Not yet, but I plan to visit him later today," she clarified."Please do. I don’t understand why he hasn’t come to see me. I’m starting to wonder if he really means what he said about disowning me. He intends to cut me off, Ivy," Jordan replied, his voice tinged with confusion. "At first, I thought he was just joking, but it doesn't feel that way anymore," he admitted, a wave of anxiety washing over him."Calm down; he won’t go through with it," Ivy reassured him, maintaining eye contact. "Not while I'm here.""You remember how he sent you to that terrible place when you messed up two years ago, right?" Jordan reminded her, hoping to convey his perspective.Ivy smiled warmly. "Yes, I remember, and I also remember who came to my rescue... It was you. You helped me.""I know that Ivy, but that’s not my point," he replied. "I

    Ivy's irritation only intensified, recalling all that had transpired between her and Alexa just a few minutes ago. As she made a right turn on the road, heading in the direction of the state prison, she let out a spiteful hiss as she reabsorbed Alexa's rejection."That low life had the guts to reject my gifts?" She pondered, a wave of disbelief and annoyance coursing through her. She was furious. She hated Alexa's guts. She hated the way she had cast her out like she meant nothing. Oh if not for Jordan's sake, heaven knows Ivy would be dealing with Alexa brutally by now. But for Jordan's sake, she had to keep her emotions under control. Just like Catherine, she still harbored a deep-seated resentment towards Alexa.Ivy jolted from her reverie as her eyes caught the Prison signpost, indicating she had arrived at the station. She cautiously navigated the car into the parking lot before pulling by the curb.Heaving a sigh, she let out another sigh as she turned off her ignition. Ivy sto

    A warm smile was etched across Ivy's features as she reciprocated Alexa's bewildered state."Hello, Alexa,""I- Ivy?" Alexa stuttered, unable to believe her eyes. She regarded Ivy with skepticism, her gaze scrutinizing as they lowered to observe her appearance. That was when Alexa noticed the bouquet of roses Ivy was holding. Her confusion deepened as she couldn't comprehend what was going on. It had been ages since she last saw Ivy, and seeing her on a random Saturday after four whole years fazed Alexa.However, she quickly regained her composure as she recalled Ivy wasn't one to be entertained in her home. They were enemies."What are you doing here?" Alexa demanded sharply as she redirected her gaze at Ivy."I come in peace," Ivy said calmly. "I don't care what you come in..." Alexa cut her off, "What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" She snapped, her annoyance resurfacing as she recalled how Ivy had badly treated her in the best. Of course, Alexa already knew the reason she was at her do

    It was Saturday. Alexa and Elena already made plans to stay indoors throughout the day and spend quality time with the kids. Elena had strictly warned Alexa against working on this day because she wanted him to take a temporary break away from everything that had to do with Jordan and his case.It was past 10 in the morning, but Alexa and Elena were still very busy in the kitchen as they made arrangements for a successful and entertaining family day. While Alexa made the snacks, Elena assisted in baking them. The toddlers were still asleep as it was the weekend."So, how is work in general? And please I don't want to hear anything relating to Jordan." Elena stated as she gently placed one of the baking trays in the oven.Alexa, who was kneading dough, lifted her gaze and chuckled upon hearing Elena's words.She shrugged. "Well, work is fine. Nothing much has been happening if it doesn't have anything to do with Jordan." Alexa elaborated before lowering her gaze to the dough she was k

    Nearly thirty minutes into Alexa's arrival, Raven had reluctantly answered all of her inquiries. Alexa had mostly asked about her financial records, how her company's accounting system worked, and if she was sure she didn't have an official connection with JS Enterprises. Raven was calm enough to answer all of her questions with caution, ensuring she didn't give Alexa the room to be more suspicious about her. "Well, that went well now, didn't it?" Alexa expelled a sigh as she prepared to leave.Raven shrugged, a feigned smile etched on her face. "Well, yes. I'm sorry for my hesitation earlier.""I completely understand, it's fine. You were worried and I get it." Alexa smiled warmly, their eyes locking onto each other's. "But you see how things turned out now? Everything went smoothly, didn't it?"Raven nodded curtly, pretending to be pleased with Alexa's reassurances. "It sure did."Alexa maintained her smile as she gazed at Raven briefly before finally rising to her heel. She added

    Raven Hardin was returning to her office after a meeting when she got a call from her husband. She dismissed her assistant as prepared to answer the call. Upon answering, she asked about well-being, and he, in turn, did the same. They discussed a few things over the phone, with Luke Hardin, eventually informing her that he'd be back the following week or thereabout. "Oh, I miss you so much, darling. I can't wait for you to be back," Raven murmured over the phone as she stepped into her office."Missing you too, sweetheart and I'm proud of how you're perfectly handling things at the company even without my assistance." His remark sailed into Raven's ears as she closed the door behind her.Crossing the room to her desk, Raven replied. "That's only happening because I don't have you to distract me, baby. I miss you and it's pretty lonely over here without you." She lied blatantly."I miss you too. I'll come back home to you soon enough." "I'll be waiting." Raven settled into the swive
