"We're ready, Lex... Are you?" Elena's voice resonated through Alexa's room door, reaching Alexa, who was still lying on the bed tiredly.Alexa exhaled exasperatedly as she fluttered her eyes open. She stretched her tired limbs on the bed before glancing at the clock on the bedstand to see it was already past 8 AM. She instantly bolted to her feet, shocked to see she was waking up so late. How had this happened? She questioned inwardly as she hauled herself out of bed."Just a second, I'm coming." She shot back at Elena even though she couldn't see her. "Okay," Elena's voice came through, followed by the faint sound of footsteps walking down the hallway.Alexa exhaled heavily as she glanced around before she found the mirror. She stared at her reflection and saw she was a mess; her hair was disheveled and bags were beneath her eyes, making her look awkward.She scoffed Incredulously at herself as she observed her features. This is what happens when someone works overnight for an assh

"It's just a meeting, Alexa. It's not even the first time; you've got this." These words repeated in Alexa's mind like a mantra as she remained seated in the car, mentally preparing herself for her upcoming session with Jordan.She had already arrived at the Police department parking lot a few minutes ago but she was reluctant to step out as her nerves kept unraveling with anxiety. And yes, she had already fixed the eye bags with make-up. She was simply struggling to maintain her composure each time she recalled Jordan had attempted to kiss her the other day. What if he tried to do that again? And what the heck was that emotion she felt when he had pulled her to himself for a kiss? Alexa pondered as she berated herself in the car. She was reluctant to admit it to herself but she was aware of how her body had reacted to that simple act from Jordan. How her insides had pulsated with desires for a minute before she quickly reprimanded herself. With each passing realization, Alexa's insi

It had already been several hours since the conclusion of her session with Jordan, and currently, Alexa was in the kitchen with Elena as they prepared dinner together. Alexa was consumed by her thoughts as she paced about the kitchen, trying so hard to distract herself from the cooking duties. But no matter how hard she tried to push aside her thoughts for a moment, Jordan's pleas kept echoing in her mind like a mantra. She was sick of it but there was nothing much she could do about it. The image of him kneeling before her earlier replayed in her mind, causing her heart to churn with anguish. Shaking her head gently, Alexa tried to concentrate on the ingredients she was chopping. But the harder she tried, the more difficult it seemed for her to stop thinking about him. About his situation, and his pleas for a second chance. No doubt, Alexa had pondered over his words for the last hours. She had considered helping him but dismissed that thought as she knew Jordan didn't deserve her h

Rolling her eyes with annoyance, Luciana finally responded. "I just dropped my son off at school, and I'm about to return home." She lied.Henry replied. "Oh, alright then. Are you going somewhere else?""I just told you I'm returning home..." She bit out, annoyance swirling within her. "Oh, I'm sorry for asking again, baby, didn't catch you the first time..." He paused. "Well, I'm alone at the office. You could come visit me if you want."Despite the frustration bubbling within her, Luciana fought to maintain her composure. She replied politely. "Darling, you know that's a bad idea. I appreciate the invite but I'm sorry, I can't.""Grandfather isn't around if that's whom you're worried about." Henry tried to reassure but Luciana shook her head in refusal."He's not. I just can't... I'm sorry, but I hope you understand." There was a brief silence on the other end before his voice sailed into her ears again."Alright, then. I'd have loved to see you now, but since you can't make it t

Three women glanced between each other, silence enveloping them for a moment as they adapted to each other's presence.Alexa, on the other hand, was surprised to see them. Although she had been hearing some voices emanating from outside her office while she was working earlier, she never expected the owners of the voices to be Catherine and Luciana. She couldn't help but wonder what they were doing in her workplace. Even though her heart raced with anxiety, she maintained her composure as she glanced between the two of them, anticipating their responses.A minute had already passed since they all went silent upon seeing Alexa, fed up with the overwhelming tension, Alexa started."I asked a fucking question." She said, glancing between Luciana and Catherine. "What are you doing here?"Catherine replied, a warm smile gracing her features as she regarded Alexa politely. "My dear, I have come to see. But rest assured, I didn't come with her. I was also surprised to see her here too." She
