"So, do you mind sharing with me how you managed to navigate through all the chaos of the past four years?" Catherine inquired after she had gotten settled into her seat. They had already tackled a light conversation before she mustered the courage to ask Alexa this. A reassuring smile adorned Catherine's face as she reciprocated Alexa's gaze, awaiting her response.On the other hand, Alexa observed Catherine intently. She hadn't fully placed her trust in her yet but was simply just playing along to see where all this would lead. She was very certain Catherine was only putting on a front to appear innocent, but Alexa would not be fooled. She had been through this before.Maintaining her calmness, Alexa managed a smile and shrugged casually as she leaned back in her chair. "I worked hard." She stated, lifting her brows nonchalantly. "That's just it."Catherine nodded briskly with a sense of pride washing over her features. "Hmm, I'm impressed. I always knew you were resilient."When

Alexa hung up and started the ignition of her car before maneuvering her way out of the parking lot. Her face brimmed with amusement as she reflected on her earlier conversation with Catherine. She couldn't place it but something about their encounter just amused her so much. Unlike the last time, Alexa found herself less annoyed about meeting with her. Maybe it was because she noticed the old lady's puny efforts at trying to convince her that she was a changed person. I mean, who actually tries so hard to sell a facade like that?Alexa couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she dwelled in her thoughts. "What a fucking joke." She muttered as she shook her head pathetically, making a right turn onto the road.Twenty minutes later, Alexa arrived at the school, pulling up to the curb of the parking lot. She exited her car with two lunch packs in her hands."Mommy!" Atlas was the first to spot her and he let out an excited squeal as he broke free from Elena's grasp and dashed toward his

Alexa decided it would be best not to press the child further with questions until they returned home. She gently lifted Blair into her arms, placing soft kisses on her temples before making her way to the car, where Elena and Atlas were already waiting.As soon as she entered the vehicle, Elena's eyes reflected her concern. "What was that all about?" she inquired, confusion lacing her tone."You tell me," Alexa replied curtly, turning the ignition. "You're the one responsible for watching over them at school. How could you let this happen?" Her voice was clipped.Elena was taken aback. "What?" she exclaimed, her brows knitting together. "Are you really placing the blame on me right now?""I’d rather not discuss it," Alexa stated firmly, avoiding eye contact.Deep down, Alexa recognized that her frustration was manifesting in an unusual manner. It wasn’t her intention to lash out; but, she was bewildered and upset by the fact that a stranger had approached her daughter while Elena was

Seated somewhat uncomfortably behind the large table, Catherine Salvador found herself surrounded by the board of directors at JS Enterprises. Her lips formed a tight line, and her expression remained impassive as she focused intently on the young man currently presenting before the board.He was tall and strikingly handsome, with raven-black hair slicked back, giving him a fierce yet appealing demeanor. Sharply dressed in a tailored suit, he exuded an air of sophistication and confidence. Captivating the attention of everyone in the room, his audience listened intently as he delivered his presentation. This man was none other than Henry Scofield Salvador, the company’s vice-chairman, and Jordan's stepbrother, potentially even his rival.Henry was outlining a project he had made aimed at developing the company and enhancing its services to society. Occasionally, his gaze shifted to the elderly man seated at the head of the table, who watched him with obvious pride as he absorbed his i

By the time Catherine concluded her meeting with Torrey, she was seething with sheer annoyance. Despite his success in provoking her, she had managed to keep her composure in front of him as expressing her anger was not an option she dared to consider.Torrey's harsh words had left her stunned into silence, her heart racing in disbelief. She had stared at him for a moment, grappling with the weight of his statements, before finally excusing herself under the pretense of needing to visit Jordan. Torrey had permitted her to leave, but the damage was already done.Now, she stood outside his office, fury coursed through her veins. Her resentment for the older man had only intensified after their conversation. She just couldn't believe him. How could he say such cruel things about his own grandson, her only son?Like her day couldn't get any worse, her eyes caught sight of someone approaching her direction. Upon turning her gaze, she saw it was Henry, walking toward Torrey's office with a

"Hmm, nice work. You got your girl coming over today?" One of the inmates asked as they noticed Jordan's cautious activity in the restroom that morning.Jordan, who had been busy carefully shaving off the hair on his face, paused when he heard the man.He stole a glance at him and shrugged. "Yeah, something like that." Redirecting his gaze to the mirror before him, he stared at himself. He felt a pang of unfulfillment and his chest heaved in despair. He further exhaled before continuing what he had done earlier. When he was done he washed his face and tossed the shaving stick into the trash bin nearby. Jordan gazed at his reflection once more, and this time, he was a bit impressed by how he looked. He now had a clean-shaven, sharp jaw that complemented his charm. Releasing another sigh, his gaze shifted to his hair and he frowned, noticing how unkempt it looked. It didn't match his clean-shaven jaw and it made him look dirty. He didn't like that. He quickly contemplated how he could

Though his heart twisted with heartbreak, nonetheless, he grabbed a seat as she had ordered earlier. His ego was hurt but he tried to maintain his composure and managed the warm smile etched on his face. He was disappointed still. That wasn't the way he had expected her to act upon seeing him. How could she not flinch at seeing this handsome and charming man like him? The Alexa he used to know would've instantly complimented him whenever she noticed anything new about him. But this one, she acted so indifferently and it really plagued Jordan. He couldn't help but wonder if he'd ever be able to achieve his plans with this attitude of hers. It was daunting, for real.However, he reminded himself of what was at stake. Getting disowned by their grandfather and losing his company wasn't an option; he didn't care how he'd have to do it, but he knew something needed to be done. Alexa must fall for him again, whether she liked it or not. Pondering this, he drew in a deep breath and exhaled b

Jordan remained quiet for a moment as he contemplated his inner thoughts. He was wracking his brain for a solution on how he could break past Alexa's barricades. He realized nothing seemed to be working on her, well, because he hadn't really attempted his real charm on her yet. He was still being sluggish with it, maybe it was finally time to do that.Jordan pressed a smile to his face, his emerald orbs directed at Alexa in a calculating stare. He paused for a few seconds, their eyes locked on each other's before he finally started as he uncrossed his arms across his torso."I'm sorry, baby." He apologized randomly, his voice thick with emotion.Alexa was undoubtedly caught off-guard by Jordan's abrupt apology.His tone filled with seriousness, Jordan persisted. "I'm sorry for all the shit I put you through. You didn't deserve that..."Alexa's jaws tightened and she barked at him as she felt he was only feigning to be concerned."Enough with that, it's too late to apologize. You had f

As soon as she closed the car door behind her after settling in, Alexa heaved out an exasperated sigh, her heart racing with trepidation. She tossed her bag on the passenger's seat and grabbed the steering wheel for support.She paused for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts. Her emotions were heightened and she couldn't comprehend the reason why. Well, she could. It all started when she had seen Jordan's new appearance earlier. She hadn't been anticipating him to walk into her like that, looking badboysihly handsome and leaving her favorite part of his body exposed to her eyes. She had merely been able to contain her emotions when she saw him. Gosh, he looked so fine.Alexa could feel her heart racing nervously as she reminisced about the moment. Though her reaction earlier had been indifferent, she couldn't deny the fact that liquid pooled at her core as she remained in his intoxicating presence. Perhaps, it was from the way he had spoken to her in his mesmerizing voice or the w

The truth from the paper glared at Jordan as his eyes remained fixated on the paperwork. Jordan froze instantly, his insides coursing with disbelief. He couldn't believe it. For some reason, his chest tightened with pain as he grappled with the revelation. His hands holding the paper trembled slightly as his insides spiraled with turmoil."Boss, are you okay?" Norman asked when he noticed his boss's reaction to the news. Norman's words pierced through Jordan's thoughts but they weren't enough to pull him back to reality as he was still reeling with shock and confusion. His mind spiraled with the thoughts of 'how'?'How was this possible'?'How true was this'?'How had he not known'?'How had Alexa kept such significant information from him'?The one that plagued him the most was 'How Alexa had been able to conceive his children, right after her miscarriage had been declared to him. Or was it all farce? Did she deliberately plan that so she could have an excuse to leave him? Jordan s
