Nearly thirty minutes into Alexa's arrival, Raven had reluctantly answered all of her inquiries. Alexa had mostly asked about her financial records, how her company's accounting system worked, and if she was sure she didn't have an official connection with JS Enterprises. Raven was calm enough to answer all of her questions with caution, ensuring she didn't give Alexa the room to be more suspicious about her. "Well, that went well now, didn't it?" Alexa expelled a sigh as she prepared to leave.Raven shrugged, a feigned smile etched on her face. "Well, yes. I'm sorry for my hesitation earlier.""I completely understand, it's fine. You were worried and I get it." Alexa smiled warmly, their eyes locking onto each other's. "But you see how things turned out now? Everything went smoothly, didn't it?"Raven nodded curtly, pretending to be pleased with Alexa's reassurances. "It sure did."Alexa maintained her smile as she gazed at Raven briefly before finally rising to her heel. She added

It was Saturday. Alexa and Elena already made plans to stay indoors throughout the day and spend quality time with the kids. Elena had strictly warned Alexa against working on this day because she wanted him to take a temporary break away from everything that had to do with Jordan and his case.It was past 10 in the morning, but Alexa and Elena were still very busy in the kitchen as they made arrangements for a successful and entertaining family day. While Alexa made the snacks, Elena assisted in baking them. The toddlers were still asleep as it was the weekend."So, how is work in general? And please I don't want to hear anything relating to Jordan." Elena stated as she gently placed one of the baking trays in the oven.Alexa, who was kneading dough, lifted her gaze and chuckled upon hearing Elena's words.She shrugged. "Well, work is fine. Nothing much has been happening if it doesn't have anything to do with Jordan." Alexa elaborated before lowering her gaze to the dough she was k

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

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

"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 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

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

"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

"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

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
