EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 134
Jordan was overwhelmed with joy as he returned to his cell. His expression was filled with delight as he was barely able to keep himself from grinning boyish as he walked into the cell. His inmate caught his demeanor and couldn't help but ask what was up with him. Jordan merely shrugged him off as he lay down on his bed, his eyes gazing up at the ceiling.He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe Alexa had just approved of the Restitution. He had already lost hope initially, thinking she would never agree to it. But now she had, he couldn't comprehend her change of mind but he was glad she had.Finally, he would be getting out of this shithole. He could reclaim all that he had lost and that also included Alexa. He'd come to realize that he wanted her. Enough with the manipulation scheme, he wanted her again for real, and he was determined to get her back one way or the other, but first, his main concern was leaving this place.As Jordan remained in his thoughts, his mind strayed t

Alexa couldn't comprehend the reason Tyler had asked her that, but she knew she needed to respond swiftly if she didn't want to raise his suspicion.Making a right turn on the road, Alexa replied eventually without sparing him a glance. "Jordan Salvador. He is the convict who was apprehended and brought in to my custody, Ty. Why are you asking me that?""The one whose case you requested to take the sole charge of?" He inquired further, unknowingly causing Alexa's heartbeat to quicken.Alexa maintained her composure and replied. "Yeah, that's him. He was charged with embezzlement. But all that is getting resolved soon since he's been pleaded for the Restitution method." She clarified, silently praying he didn't press her for more after this.Tyler nodded curtly. "Mm, I see,"Alexa was quiet. He continued after a brief silence between them. "His mother reached out to me the other day, begging on his behalf. She told me you made the bail option unavailable, why is that?"Alexa was faze

Alexa had just finished her conversation with one of her colleagues when she decided to leave the courtroom. It was merely a few minutes past 2 PM and she knew she needed to go pick Elena and the kids from school.Already tardy, she quickly arranged her files into her bag and retrieved her car keys from the table. She stole a glance at Jordan and saw he was engrossed in a conversation with his family. She felt her heart twinge but she quickly dismissed those emotions. She let out an exasperated sigh, realizing this was the last time she was probably going to see Jordan. He was returning home as all compensation had been made. This day marked the end of their meeting. Alexa couldn't deny the way her heart felt heavy at the realization. A part of her wasn't ready to let him off the hook, but she knew there was nothing she could do now. Heaving out another sigh, she redirected her gaze as she prepared to head out of the room.On her way, she noticed he was staring at her and this made

Jordan had just taken his bath that evening when he stepped out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around his waist and his sturdy chest dripping with water.He exhaled heavily, feeling refreshed as he dried off his hair before heading over to his closet. There, fished out a singlet and sweatpants before cladding himself on them.He couldn't help the sense of relief that washed over him as he recognized he was home again. Gosh, how good it felt to be home. He had almost forgotten how good it felt to have a nice bath and eat good food.It had been two days since he got released from Prison. He hadn't resumed work yet but he was planning towards that. His grandfather had already reassured him that he could retake his rightful place in the company while the election was on hold. Now that Jordan was out, he was determined to ensure he took full control of the company as it was rightfully his.Alongside that, his main concern was chasing Alexa's forgiveness. The thought of her had his t

Alexa worked busily behind her desk that Monday afternoon. Even though she had presumed her workload would reduce since they had finalized the verdict of Jordan's case, she found herself working even more now. Sapphire kept bringing her the documents she had skipped while working on Jordan's case earlier. After several hours of working, Alexa felt drained but was still reluctant to give herself a break as she felt the need to finish these up before anything else. Or maybe she was just trying to distract herself from her consuming thoughts and just using all that as an excuse.Alexa had found herself thinking more of Jordan lately ever since the verdict. It had already been a week since he got released and also a week since she last saw him in person. She had only watched the news concerning his return to his company some days ago, and she recalled the way her heart had squeezed when she had absorbed his charming smile from the TV screen.Thoughts of him occasionally revolved around

Jordan had just finished a meeting with the board members and returned from his grandfather's office when he decided to go visit Alexa. He had been wanting to do that for some time now, but work made him keep deviating from his goal. On this day, he had already resolved that he would go visit her no matter what. It had already been a week since he last saw her and he couldn't shake off the hollow feeling in her chest that was evidence enough for him that he truly missed her. He wanted to see her again.He had barely been able to keep his concentration earlier while he presented his project idea to the board members. It wasn't easy but he had coerced himself to remain composed. With each passing day, he realized his feelings for Alexa were only getting stronger. He couldn't place it but he knew he wanted her. That was, after all, the reason he had been searching for her for three years before he got arrested. He recalled the day of his arrest when his aide had just broken the bad ne

It didn't take long before her response flowed through the walls to his ears, but Jordan couldn't help but catch the annoyance in her tone as she said something incoherent to his hearing.Nonetheless, he expelled a deep sigh, trying to calm his nerves before he twisted the doorknob, pushed the door gently, and entered.The first thing that caught his eye was Alexa, who was sitting at the other end of the room, her eyes dilating with surprise as they locked eyes. Jordan anticipated that. Of course, she'd be stunned to see him. That gave him a bit of confidence as he closed the door behind him and began approaching her side boldly.A taunting smile spread across his face as he greeted her teasingly, amused to witness her stunned expression. "Hello, baby,"Her expression faltered before she asked skeptically. "Jordan?" Her brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?"Wasn't it obvious? Jordan questioned himself, registering her inquiry as absurd. The flowers. The pet name he had just calle

EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 143
Three days had passed since Jordan's visit to Alexa's office, where he had encountered a strange man, whose thoughts had been swirling his mind for days now.Jordan still hadn't been able to fathom who the man who he had seen at Alexa's office the other day, was. His heart pricked him painfully each time he recalled the man had brought Alexa lunch. Jordan hadn't missed the way he had regarded him with skepticism and curiosity, and this plagued his heart even more. Who was he and why had he acted so possessive of Alexa? Was he Alexa's boyfriend? He pondered.He heaved a sigh as he reclined back in his chair at the office. His mind raced with conflicting thoughts and he struggled to make sense of anything for a moment. Sitting straighter on the chair due to unease, he reached for his phone on the desk, hoping a message from his aide would have popped on it by now. Plagued with the curiosity of who the strange man was, Jordan had instructed his aide to look into him and send him signif

The tension in the room escalated as an overwhelming silence settled between them. Alexa reeled with the shock of seeing Tyler abruptly barge into her office. Fuck, this was exactly what she had been trying to avoid. It had finally happened and the two men had met. How was she to explain this to Tyler? Bile rose to Alexa's throat as she looked between Tyler and Jordan. Her heart raced with trepidation as she noted the confusion in Tyler's face. Of course, he was surprised to find Jordan in her office. It was strange enough that the convict she had once apprehended had paid her a visit."Do I know you?" Tyler was the first to break the silence as he corked his brow at Jordan.Jordan huffed, "I don't know... Do you?" His response was curt, causing Alexa's heart to sink even further.Gosh, there he was again, acting all arrogant. She refrained from rolling her eyes as she knew she had bigger matters to tend to. She needed to intervene somehow before the whole thing escalated.Swallowing
