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

The Restitution method had just been finalized and deemed official. Jordan was free to go as his family had just paid an enormous sum of money to compensate for the losses. An unsettling feeling stirred within Alexa as she watched them from where she was seated. She observed how Jordan's sister, Ivy had scurried towards Jordan to embrace him.

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

"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
