EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 091
Raven reclined in her chair, her breath held in anxious anticipation as she awaited the arrival of Alexa, whom she had summoned through her assistant.As she sat there, her mind raced with curiosity about who Alexa might be. Despite her efforts to recall any familiarity with the name, nothing surfaced after thorough reflection.With an exasperated sigh, Raven's gaze drifted back to the entrance, pondering the delay in her visitor's arrival.Finally, the door to her office creaked open, revealing a woman clad in a striking sky-blue corporate outfit, her auburn hair impeccably styled.At first glance, Raven instinctively recognized this must be the individual she had been expecting—Alexander McKanne. Yet, she was still taken aback, staring at Alexa in bewilderment, unable to place her or recall any previous encounters.The sound of Alexa's heels clicking against the marble floor broke the silence as she approached Raven's desk, a warm smile illuminating her face as their eyes met.In co

Alexa made her way to the State Prison after her meeting with Raven came to an abrupt conclusion.As she drove along the highway, she reflected on her earlier conversation with Raven, during which she had asked her several questions about herself. There was something about Raven that struck Alexa as suspicious. Initially, she had been impressed by Raven's sophistication when she saw her, but now she sensed there was more to her than eyes meet. This intuition was encouraged by Raven’s obvious discomfort during their discussion.Curiosity about the source of Raven's anxiety gnawed at Alexa. However, she sighed and glanced at the work files resting on the passenger seat.Shifting her focus back to the road, she pushed her thoughts aside and decided to concentrate on more pressing matters ahead. She was on her way to meet Jordan and she contemplated whether she should inquire further about Raven from him. Her instincts hinted at something significant, and Alexa wanted to validate her sus

Snapping back to reality, Alexa blinked weakly as his greetings resonated into her ears. Her demeanor quickly shifted as she didn't want him to know she had just lost herself under his intense gaze.Moving away from the doorway, she closed the door behind her gently before sauntering over to the table. Jordan's eyes remained glued to her as he enthusiastically watched her grab a chair and settle into it. His excitement about seeing her was palpable, and upon noticing this, Alexa felt her heart twinge.She tried as much as she could to avoid eye contact with him as she began unpacking, bringing out the paperwork from her bag."Uhm, I'm guessing this means you're fine," Jordan remarked with a casual shrug.Alexa initially hadn't comprehended what he meant by that until she recalled he asked about her well-being a minute ago. This made her remain silent as she skimmed her eyes through the paperwork. An eerie silence enveloped them as Alexa engrossed herself in the paperwork while Jord

Rendered speechless, Alexa stared at him for a moment as she pondered her thoughts.Jordan maintained his intent gaze on her, awaiting her response to his inquiry. He sensed something was amiss, given the way Alexa had asked him that so randomly. Of course, he recalled who Raven Hardin was. She was the wife of his billionaire friend, more like a colleague since they didn't have a close relationship. Jordan had only encountered Raven once or twice and it was because of Luciana, who had introduced Raven to him some time ago as the secretary of her fancy club. Jordan hadn't really thought much about the lady since then, but he saw her on TV occasionally. He was aware she was a societal woman, but what he couldn't comprehend as several questions gnawed at him was the reason Alexa was asking about her.Judging by her countenance, He could tell she had uncovered something, but she was reluctant to share it with him. However, he remained calm as he didn't want to coerce her into quelling hi

"... I miss you," He confessed, his voice dripping with affection as he held her gaze.Absorbing his words, Alexa was stunned to silence for a minute. She stared at him, her gaze faltering due to her racing heart. She felt a lump in her throat as a whirlpool of emotions washed over her. That was the last thing she had expected he'd say to her out of the blue. She was both fazed and somewhat emotional.Regaining her composure, her demeanor shifted as she reminded herself about who she was dealing with. It was the same man, who had left her to a cruel fate... Who didn't even look for her after she got discharged from the hospital... Who had betrayed her and given his mistress everything she'd ever wanted. It was the same man, and his name was Jordan Salvador, the one who was currently sitting across from her.Absorbing these resolves, Alexa felt anger brew within her. How dare he lie to her? She huffed at him irritably, her orbs sparkling with annoyance. "You miss me? What the fuck mak

Alexa swung the door to her room open, heading straight to the dressing section at the other end upon entering. There, she sat on the chair in front of the mirror, observing her reflection while she reflected on the day's encounter. 'I miss you' Jordan's confession echoed in her mind as she remained seated, pondering her thoughts. Her heart plummeted, recalling the way he had said it to her... So boldly and undeterred. However, Alexa tried pushing aside the thoughts of him, not understanding why she was even thinking about him. She attempted to distract herself as she styled her hair into a bun. Nonetheless, he wouldn't get off her mind. The image of his charming smile was engraved in her memory and she found it difficult to ignore.Giving up on the distractions, Alexa sighed and reclined in her seat, knowing there was nothing else she could do about her feelings. She had been ignoring the pangs for too long and it was starting to get intense. However, Alexa struggled to comprehen

Luciana ruffled her disheveled hair as she headed towards the kitchen in her mansion that morning. It was merely six minutes past 6 am. She wasn't normally a morning person but she had gotten up so early this morning because she had battled with insomnia the night prior. She hadn't been able to sleep a wink as Raven's warnings kept pondering in her mind persistently, reminding her that a bitch was on the loose and she needed to take action. Of course, that bitch was no one else but Alexa. 'Why do you mean Alexa came by your office?' Luciana recalled her previous conversation with Raven on the phone as she awaited her mug to be filled up with coffee. 'What the hell do you think I mean by that? She came asking questions.' Luciana remembered how her heart had leaped after hearing that. 'What questions?' she had asked. 'Questions about Jordan! Questions about myself too!' Raven had barked in response. Pain still tugged at Luciana's heartstrings as she reabsorbed Raven's annoyed re

As the days rolled into weeks, Jordan came to realize that the supposed feelings he thought he never had for Alexa were only intensifying with each passing minute. He found himself missing her presence more than usual. Sometimes, while resting in his cell after lunch or dinner, he would often reminisce about their last moments together. How he had flirted with her and how he had also made her pissed. Jordan would chuckle to himself each time he recalled how Alexa always cursed at him in annoyance.His heart fluttered with warmth as his mind solely revolved around the thoughts of her. Jordan was impressed by the way she tended to him fiercely. She had grown so bold and daring, and it excited him.Jordan didn't realize he was grinning from ear to ear until his cellmate called out to him abruptly."What's got you all giggling? Thinking about a woman, I see?" His cellmate chimed in, his voice breaking Jordan's reverie.Jordan's smile instantly dissipated, his expression faltering to a ne

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

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
