Semua Bab EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy.": Bab 121 - Bab 130

A wave of panic coursed through Luciana, prompting her to back away from Henry as her eyes locked with Ivy's shocked ones."What the fuck is going on here?" Ivy's instant demand caused her heart to race with trepidation as a gulp walked down her throat.Luciana's throat ran dry, her breath hitching as she tried to form a meaningful response. She stole a glance at Henry and noticed the shocked expression disappearing from his face and being replaced by a nonchalant one.Returning her gaze to Ivy, Luciana's heart hammered in her chest as she absorbed the glare Ivy directed at her."Hello, Ivy," Luciana spoke up after a moment, breaking the tension and trying her best to be as casual as possible.But Ivy wasn't buying any of that. Instead, she eyed Luciana suspiciously, her eyes roaming her body and registering the outfit she was putting on. Ivy shook her head in disapproval, a look of disgust marring her face as she redirected her gaze at Luciana. "I cannot believe this...""You cannot

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.

"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."

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.

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
