EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 123
Alexa was swiping through the pages of the documents on her desk that Saturday morning when Elena entered her room with a tray of food. Her concentration was disrupted as she lifted her gaze to match Elena's, who was now approaching her after she gently closed the door behind her.Alexa heaved out a sigh, taking a momentary break as she let go of the paperwork and leaned back in her swivel chair, her eyes fixated on Elena who was now placing the tray on the desk."Hey," Alexa called out softly, stealing a glance at the cup of coffee and treats Elena had brought for her.It was past 11 am and she was yet to have breakfast as she was so busy that morning. She had refused to join Elena and the kids for breakfast that morning, citing she would do so soon enough. But seeing Alexa wasn't keeping to her words, Elena had resolved to bring her the food instead."You need to eat," Elena stated tersely as she took a seat from across Alexa's.Alexa sighed, massaging her temples. "I know. I will.

"... I want to know, Alexa, the reason behind your hesitation..." His words echoed in her ears, making her heartbeat quicken as she pondered her thoughts.Alexa didn't realize she had gone eerily silent until Tyler's voice called out to her again."Hey, are you there?" His words sailing into her ears, she swallowed, snapping back to reality. "Yeah, I am." "So... What's the reason?" He questioned once more.A surge of annoyance coursed through Alexa as she sensed Tyler was controlling over the issue. For crying out loud, he had already handed full authority to he before he went on his trip so why the hell was he questioning her procedures now? Alexa mused.Nonetheless, she reserved her thoughts as she focused more on uncovering which of Jordan's family had reached out to Tyler and how much they'd told him. Judging by his sedate reaction, they mustn't have revealed to him that Jordan was her ex, and that was the reason she was reluctant to set him free. Alexa heaved a sigh at the tho

"You can send whatever you've found out so far to my office tomorrow, Johnny, I'll be at the company." Ivy's voice trailed off as she spoke into the phone.She was interrupted as her room door pushed open. She turned to see it was her mother who had just stepped in.Still on the phone, she listened intently to what the receiver was saying before she replied once more. "I need it urgently. Gather everything you can get on her... It's Luciana. She's very sly but still dumb. This should be easy, now get the fuck out of my phone," she stated firmly before hanging up without waiting for the other person's response."Mom," Ivy heaved a sigh as she ran her hand through her hair, her mind spiralling with several thoughts. However, she dismissed them, choosing to focus on her mother who was staring at her with an inquisitive gaze."Who was that?" Catherine asked as she approached Ivy's side."Johnny, one of my aids. I just asked him to find out what he can on Luciana and Henry's relationship."

An overwhelming silence passed the table as everyone absorbed the revelation in shock. Everyone was surprised except for Catherine, who looked nonchalant as she continued eating her meal. She was already aware of Ivy's plans before now. "What?" Torrey retorted, prompting Ivy to nod in affirmation as their eyes met. "Yes, Father,""What nonsense!" Igris snapped, rising to her feet and pointing a finger at Ivy, her eyes burning with fury. "How dare you accuse my son like this?""Accuse?" Ivy scoffed derisively, shaking her head. "I'm accusing no one. He knows I'm telling the truth.""You're lying," Igris cut her off in annoyance."Hey, everybody calm down!" Torrey barked an order.Igris glared at Ivy hardly before resuming her seat, her annoyance palpable. She shook her head, obviously fuming as she turned her gaze from Ivy to Torrey.Meanwhile, Henry remained quiet as he contemplated his thoughts."Henry, Son," Torrey started calmly as he turned his face to Henry, who reciprocated hi

A wave of panic coursed through Luciana as she made her way towards the States Prison. She hadn't been able to keep her mind at rest as she recalled what had transpired two days prior; when Ivy had met her in Henry's office. She already knew by now that Ivy must have already informed Jordan about what she had witnessed. Luciana couldn't afford Jordan getting the wrong idea. She needed to convince him before he changed his mind towards her good.Luciana had tried reaching out to Henry after what happened at the office but Henry had stopped taking any of her calls after he seriously made it clear to her that he wanted nothing to do with her again. He had basically threatened her that the next time she'd show up at his office unannounced, he would react in a way she wouldn't like. Luciana was already aware of what was going on. She knew Ivy must have said something to the family about what she saw. Given the election was at any moment now, the need for Ivy to sabotage it had heightened.

Luciana swallowed hard as Jordan's inquiry resonated in her ears. Her heart pounded in her chest and she felt her breath hitch for a second. However, she quickly composed herself as she needed to make her facade more convincing."What?" She muttered, her expression faltering as she held Jordan's stoic gaze."I asked you a damn question. Don't make me repeat myself," his tone was gruff as he warned her tersely.Just as Luciana had presumed earlier, Ivy had really filled Jordan in on what had transpired in the office the other day. In that moment, Luciana regretted why she even chose to pay Henry a visit on that particular day. That single mistake was about to cost her the love of her life and she couldn't let that happen."N- No," she denied, though her heart raced wildly as she remained under his intense gaze. He was glaring at her with eyes that could kill. Luciana could observe the fury in his orbs, she could only see that he didn't believe her response. However, she added in feign

Alexa had just returned from a board meeting when she received a text from a strange number.Stepping into her office for privacy, her brows furrowed as she read the message on her phone.'I'll be at your office soon. Expect me.' Those were the context and Alexa couldn't help the frown that creased her features as she pondered who it was.Could it be Catherine or Ivy? But how had they obtained their number? Should that even be a question? She was acutely aware that they could have obtained her number by any means. But what did they want? And why come to her office after she already warned them against it the last time.Alexa was confused, nonetheless, she resolved to brush aside her concerns as she approached her desk. She still had so many tasks to carry on and couldn't afford to lazy around while she contemplated who had sent the strange message."Sapphire, any updates on Raven yet?" Alexa asked her assistant as she sank into the swivel chair, setting her phone away as she leaned cl

Alexa glanced up at him, her thoughts muddled in confusion. She had been wrestling with different concerns, but the most distressing was the news of her father's illness. Despite their strained relationship, it didn't lessen her concern; he was still her father, and she cared for him deeply. The revelation sent her heart racing with unease, as the idea of losing the one person who meant everything to her was unbearable. "Are you seriously considering this, Alexa? He is your father," Andy's voice broke through her thoughts. A frown marred his face as he stared at her.She shot him a sharp look, her brow knitting in frustration. "Could you give me a moment to process what you just told me? I'm still in shock, you know!" She raised an eyebrow at him. "Your father needs you, Alexa. I didn't expect you'd have to think it over before agreeing to come with me." "Go with you?" she scoffed Incredulously, shaking her head in disagreement. "I’m not going with you. I can get to our family home

"Mommy, are you going to be seeing Daddy soon?" Blair asked her mother as they began heading towards the airport terminal. They had just landed a few minutes ago and they were currently strutting towards the terminal, where Alexa knew Elena would be waiting for her. She texted her a few minutes ago of their arrival and Elena had reassured her that she was already at the airport terminal.Alexa looked down at her child, who was holding her hand firmly. She offered Blair a soft smile and nodded curtly, although unsure if they would really be seeing Jordan today. "Sure, baby, you'll be seeing Daddy soon,""I can't wait, Mommy," Blair grinned, displaying a small set of teeth that caused Alexa's heart to melt at her cuteness.Atlas also chimed in, grinning from ear to ear. "Me too, Mommy! I missed Daddy so much and I can't wait to tell him about my girlfriend in school."Alexa chuckled with amusement at her son's antics. It was true; even Atlas had found love in some girl at the new schoo

**ONE YEAR LATER**"Oh my goodness, Alexa, I'm so excited!" Elena's thrilled voice resonated through the phone as Alexa clutched the phone to her ear.A smile spread across her face as she absorbed Elena's excitement. Even though she couldn't see the woman closely, she could imagine the happiness that was currently radiating from her. Elena sounded so thrilled."I'll be at the airport, Alexa, I swear. I'll leave work. I'll wait for you till you touch down. Gosh, I can't wait!" She screeched enthusiastically.Alexa couldn't help but chuckle as she absorbed Elena's promise. She couldn't blame her; she was also dying to see her just as much as Elena couldn't wait to see her. How much time has passed since they last saw each other? One whole year.That's right, the last time Alexa had seen Elena was when she had left the country a year ago after what happened with Tyler and Jordan. It had taken her six whole months to gather herself before she began even reaching out to Elena again.Elen

Jordan was distraught as he rang Alexa for the second time and there was still no response. He checked his messages to see if she had replied to his texts but also there was no response. A frown crossed his face as he couldn't comprehend Alexa's sudden change.He was worried and he wished he was back in the city so he could visit her. However, he was currently out of town as he had gone on a business trip as the new head of JS Enterprises. He had merely concluded the meeting when he decided to call her again. However, all of his calls went straight to voicemail. Worry gnawed at Jordan as he thought something might have happened. His heart constricted painfully at the idea that Tyler must have returned to Alexa's home to confront her. What if that was the reason she wasn't taking any of his calls again? What if something had happened, and maybe Tyler had overreacted like before?These considerations had Jordan's heart racing frantically as worry consumed him. Checking his messages one

'Baby, you haven't been taking my calls, I hope you're doing okay. I'll be coming later. I love you.' Alexa stared at Jordan's message for the umpteenth feeling a clog in her throat as she read it. It was true; she hadn't been taking his calls and had been completely avoidant since what happened with Tyler. Tyler still hadn't been taking her calls nor replying to any of her apology messages. Alexa was fazed and worried. Although she never wanted things to end like this, she felt this was best for everyone."Hey, are you good?" Elena's voice disrupted Alexa's thoughts as she asked her friend with concern laden in her tone. Alexa, who had been sitting down staring at her phone as she got prepared in the living room, looked up at her friend and nodded slowly. "Uhm, I am.""Are you sure?" Elena asked, holding Alexa's gaze. "Are you sure this is it, Alexa?" She asked further so Alexa could really comprehend the depth of her question.Alexa swallowed and nodded curtly, averting her eyes a

"Jordan!" Alexa exclaimed with terror as Jordan seized Tyler up, ready to punch him across the face again but Alexa quickly tugged at his arm, halting him effectively. "Stop it, stop it, please," she cried out, gripping Jordan's arm tightly.Jordan seethed with rage as he glared at Tyler, whose nostrils were now trickling with blood. He could barely control his raging emotions as all he wanted at that moment was to teach Tyler a lesson for calling Alexa a 'whore.' How dare he?"Jordan, please, stop it. Let him go," Alexa's pleas sailed into his ears, causing his heart to ache. He reluctantly loosened his hold on Tyler's collar at Alexa's order. Jordan was pissed off. "He doesn't deserve you, Alexa,""I know, still let him go, Jordan. Let him go right now," she asserted firmly, her heart twisting with anguish. Gosh, she hated this. She had tried her best to avoid this drama but she guessed she failed in doing so. Acutely aware this wasn't the time to berate herself as she had two me

An overwhelming feeling of shock and bewilderment coursed through Alexa as she met Tyler's furious gaze. Tyler had just barged into her office unannounced and his demeanor screamed of nothing but pure anger. "T-Ty," Alexa stuttered, prompting Jordan to turn to face the man who had just entered.The two men locked eyes in a heated gaze until Tyler started with a snap. "Really, Alexa?" He shook his head with disbelief. "Really?"Even though she couldn't comprehend what he meant by that, her heart raced wildly as she absorbed his indifference. He looked miffed and with the way he glared at Jordan, Alexa didn't need a soothsayer to tell her that Tyler must have found out the truth somehow. But how come? It wasn't supposed to be like this. She had planned to tell him herself. No, no, this was bad."Ty," She called out to him frantically as she pulled out of her thoughts. Her eyes held remorse as they met his gaze. "What is the matter?" She asked skeptically, trying not to believe he had

Tyler Sterling recoiled from his desk as he watched the news of Luciana's arrest. His brows creased with a frown, seeing the offense Luciana had been apprehended of. He was familiar with the woman. He remembered she had paid him a visit just two days before her arrest, to inform him that Alexa was cheating on him with someone else. Tyler had brushed her off, registering her words as absurd. Even though he hadn't confronted Alexa yet as she had been very busy with work, Tyler still trusted her completely. He believed Alexa wasn't capable of doing that. And even though they weren't really in a real relationship yet, he knew the feelings Alexa harbored for him.As Jordan continued watching the news on TV concerning Luciana's arrest and her downfall, he couldn't help but notice the man with Alexa behind the scenes. He flinched as he recognized him to be Jordan Salvador, the same man he had been noticing with Alexa and also the one Luciana had cited Alexa was cheating on him with.Tyler's
EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 151
With Jordan as the new head of the company, he was able to apprehend Luciana on time with Alexa's help."Dear Miss Henderson, you're under arrest for the setup of Jordan Salvador. You have the right to remain silent, as anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney..." The police officers who had arrested Jordan before now, said to Luciana as they secured the cuffs around her wrists.Luciana's face was etched with horror as she looked from the officers to Jordan and Alexa who had led her arrest. Alexa smirked smugly, while Jordan shook his head in disappointment as he met Luciana's gaze."I will ensure you rot in prison for this, Luciana. That is a promise." Jordan said to her callously, his eyes darkening with rage. "Take her away and lock her up."Luciana was fazed. She hadn't expected they would arrest her. She believed they were still clueless that she was the one who had framed Jordan. It seemed she had thought wrong.Des

Luciana had just gotten off the phone with Raven and her eyes blazed with fury as she grappled with the reality of what had happened. Raven had just informed her about Alexa's visit to her office.Annoyance coursed through Luciana as she pondered her thoughts, unable to fathom what had led Alexa to restart the investigation. She thought everything had ended with Jordan's release, how come Alexa was still prying into her privacy and trying to look into matters that didn't concern her?Luciana's insides coursed with a bit of relief as she reflected on Raven's assurance. "I didn't tell her anything. But you need to do something about this."Luciana had reassured Raven that she was going to handle it but at that moment, she couldn't think of anything else. Well, maybe it was time to finally expose Alexa's secrets to the firm and get her fired? Luciana pondered. Only then will Alexa be able to back off from the investigation as it was no longer an official case? But why had she restarted
