Alexa's eyes darted between the computer on her work desk and the files beside it as she tried affirming a report she had gotten from Sapphire a day ago: A new report concerning Jordan's case.It was already 8 in the evening and she was currently seated in her bedroom, where her home office was also located. The kids were watching TV with Elena in the living room as she worked tirelessly in her own room.After several considerations about helping Jordan, Alexa eventually decided she would look into the matter more before making a final decision. Although she had been reluctant to stick with this resolve, given the stunt Luciana had pulled at her office the other day. However, knowing Jordan might be unaware of that conflict, Alexa thought it was best to exclude him from her wrath."Raven Hardin," Alexa muttered as her eyes caught the name on the screen. She paused, reclining back in her chair as she stared at the name thoughtfully, trying to recall if she was familiar with it and how
***FOUR YEARS AGO*** *A MONTH AFTER ALEXA'S DIVORCE*"I'll get it done, you just take some rest, okay?" Alexa reassured as she helped Elena settle on the couch.Elena was feeling very sickly that morning and Alexa just helped her lay down on the couch while she resolved to make breakfast for the two of them."Scrambled eggs and sausages, yeah?" Alexa inquired once more as she prepared to leave for the kitchen.Elena nodded weakly. "Yeah, I barely have an appetite though." She exhaled wearily, "I hate being sick,""Everything is going to be okay once you've taken your drugs, and you can only do that after you've eaten. You're going to be fine, my love." Alexa reassured her with a warm smile etched on her face.Elena shrugged. "Mmm, If you say so." They locked eyes and Elena managed a smile as she accessed Alexa's calm demeanor.In contrast to two weeks earlier, Alexa was looking so much better and healthier. It was as if she had completely moved on from the abrupt divorce from Jordan.
Alexa came rushing into the living room as soon as she got called by Elena. Her face was etched with worry as she walked to Elena, calmly demanding what was wrong."What is it?" Alexa asked, her voice carrying hints of confusion and worry. Elena, whose eyes were still glued to the TV screen, muttered in response as she gestured towards the Television. "Look at that... Isn't that Luciana?" She questioned. "What am I even saying? Of course, she's the one."At the mention of Luciana, Alexa felt her heart skip a beat and she immediately darted her gaze towards the TV screen. Her heart sank further when she locked eyes with the redhead on screen, who was smiling radiantly at the cameras as they kept taking several shots of her. The redhead was no other person than Luciana. Alexa felt a wave of jealousy wash over her as she accessed Luciana's features through the screen."This is crazy, Lex. She's just been elected as the new member of the ELITE MILLIONAIRE WOMEN's Club... She isn't eve
Applying more lip gloss on her red-stained lips, Luciana tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she looked at her reflection in the rearview mirror. A wave of fulfillment washed over her as she accessed her sultry features. She looked and felt sexy in the revealing dress she was clad in, and the light make-up on her face. Smirking sinisterly, she averted her gaze, finally turning off the car ignition.She was currently at the parking lot of the Prison where Jordan was being held. She had gone there to visit. Even after his warnings the last time about her persistent visits, Luciana just couldn't keep off. She missed him so much and she was dying mentally from the wild thoughts that consumed her mind.This fateful day, she had dressed up so revealingly because she had other plans. The black dinner gown she wore perfectly accentuated her curves. Her enthralling cleavages were exposed because of the small opening of the dress; Luciana had deliberately worn it.Grasping her purs
Luciana's face twisted with anguish as she absorbed Jordan's provocation. Nonetheless, she apologized to him."I'm sorry, I just thought...""You thought wrong!" He cut in sharply, "Leave, and I'd prefer it if you never come back here." He declared defiantly before turning to his heel and exiting the room, leaving Luciana all to herself.Jordan was enraged as he headed back to his cell. He couldn't believe he had fallen for her lies of wanting to see him because she had something important for her. How could he not realize that Luciana was nothing but a selfish whore? He berated himself for letting her think they were cool in the first place.Jordan pulled out of his reverie as he reached his cell, but just as he was about to sit, a warden approached him, calling for his attention.Jordan darted his gaze at him, wordlessly demanding what he wanted. The warden, understanding his frowned expression, replied. "You have another visitor, Mr. Salvador."Jordan scoffed, wondering who next h
Luciana was upset by the time she returned to her car after getting chased out by Jordan. She felt so humiliated. So mortified, and not just that, she couldn't comprehend the lustful emotions still raging through her even in her current state.She was so damn horny. For some reason, she found Jordan's arrogance and scoldings thrilling. It filled her with desires she couldn't understand, and right in that moment, she was fucking horny. She could feel her core clenching and unclenching at nothing.Luciana closed the car door after hopping in. She took a moment to calm herself down as she shut her eyes, allowing all the feelings of humiliation to wash away. This wasn't the outcome she had expected. She couldn't believe Jordan not only refused to have sex with her but also chased her out. The man of four years ago she knew would have never done such a thing. Jordan had completely changed and it scared her. She was perturbed she would never be able to feel his touch again. As bad as she w
"What the fuck was that, Luciana?" Henry inquired in annoyance as he gently pushed her off him. Luciana was still in a state of shock and she could barely regain her composure before she muttered. "Huh?""You just moaned my brother's name. What the fuck was that for? You're fucking me and you're moaning his name?" He fumed, his anger palpable. "Are you fucking serious right now?"Clutching her chest softly, Luciana's gaze faltered. "No, I did no such thing.""The fuck are you lying about? I heard you, bitch!" Henry growled, his jaws clenching with fury. "You moaned Jordan's name. Don't you dare try to twist this!" He warned furiously.Luciana's heart raced with trepidation as she stared at him. She was legit scared as this was the first time she was seeing Henry go ballistic. She wracked her brain for a quick solution to her problem. Luciana didn't recall moaning Jordan's name, but knowing she was only fucking Henry because she needed a substitute for Jordan, she realized his name
Before a dressing mirror, in a well-furnished and luxurious master's bedroom, sat a lady, who admired herself as she got dressed in her bedroom. As she brushed her long brown hair flowing down her shoulders that morning, she smirked, observing her reflection in the mirror. Her honeycomb eyes glinted with mischief as she tucked her strands of hair behind her ears, retrieving a lipstick from the dressing and elegantly applying it on her lips.She made a pop-up sound with her lips as she pleased with her beauty. Tossing the lipstick back on the table, she finally returned her gaze towards her bed, her expression hardening as her eyes met with that of the man, who lay on her bed with no clothes on. "It's about time you leave, don't you think?" The lady frowned at him as she questioned.The man, whose charm was ethereal with those piercing grey eyes, furrowed his brows at the lady."Come on, baby, don't tell me you're pushing me away this morning... After all our shenanigans last night?"
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
"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
