"What are you doing?"Alexa grabbed onto the rearview mirror, directing it towards her face. "I'm trying to see for myself. I can't afford to humiliate myself in front of him..." She replied tersely as she observed her features in the mirror. She noticed the faint bags beneath her eyes and she cursed inwardly. "Well, it's really not that bad... I'll fix it when I get to the office." She heaved out a sigh as she repositioned the mirror before reclining back in her seat.Regaining her composure, she turned on the ignition and resumed driving again. "Hmm," Elena started, breaking the silence that had enveloped them."What?" Alexa asked, puzzled.Shrugging, she replied. "It's nothing... You just seem to be a little concerned about what Jordan has to say about your appearance."Alexa's brows scrunched up at her wor
"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

She noted his hardened expression. She could tell he was upset but judging by the way he looked at her optimistically, Luciana could guess he didn't know the full truth. Perhaps, he just had his suspicions and wanted her to clarify his thoughts. Yes, that may be it. Luciana thought to herself inwardly.Swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat as she met his glaring gaze, she heaved out wearily as she recoiled from him but Henry's grip around her waist tightened possessive

I love y'all.CHAPTER 069Later that evening.Luciana was seated behind the study desk in her room as she navigated her way through the computer. She was currently doing some findings on ways she could help Jordan out. After her prior proposal with Jordan, he eventually agreed to let her take matters into her own hands while he sought other ways to pass through the upcoming trial. Luciana had been elated at his agreement and she had promised she would get right into it immediately. Hence, the reason she was currently seated and her gaze fixed
Luciana's heart raced nervously as she glanced towards the entrance from time to time, anticipating bubbling within her as she waited for him to show up. She took off her sunglasses and rearranged strands of her neatly styled hair, her insides clenching and unclenching at nothing. She was nervous, not that this was even the first time she'd be seeing him in prison. She couldn't comprehend the pang of anxiety that gripped her heart each time she darted her gaze to the entrance. On this day, she was extra nervous and perplexed. Perhaps, it was because of Henry's accusations earlier. Luciana tried to shake off the thoughts of him and focus on the present, the main reason she was currently seated behind the counter in the visitor's room of the state prison.She glanced at the watch adorning her wrist for the umpteenth time and noted it had already been five minutes since she arrived, and he had yet to show up. Luciana couldn't comprehend the reason for his delay. She couldn't help but wo
Luciana sighed wearily upon his inquiry. Though her heart raced inexplicably, she forced herself to remain composed. She had anticipated this as she knew sooner or later he'd bring up the topic. She still couldn't comprehend why he wanted a serious relationship all of a sudden. Nonetheless, she wasn't bothered to know his true intentions as she wasn't interested, and she never will be. Her only problem was getting him to understand that. Pulling from her thoughts, Luciana pouted as she gazed at Henry, who observed her from the other side. "I thought we've already talked about this, Henry..."Henry cut her off by shaking his head. "No, we haven't. You simply told me the supposed consequences you'd face if you got involved with me publicly... You still haven't given me a response, baby," He wiggled his brows at her in a reminder.Luciana hesitated, words stuck in her throat. She then exhaled and shrugged as she rose to her feet. "Henry..." She started softly but a gesture from Henry c
The following morning saw Luciana in the kitchen brewing coffee as she settled by the kitchen counter. Her eyes were still dazed with sleep and she needed her usual morning dose of coffee to get her day started properly. As she remained seated on the chair waiting for the coffee machine to finish up, her mind couldn't help but travel to the events of the previous day with Henry. Recalling his proposal, a tight knot formed in her chest as she swallowed nervously. She felt a pang of gratitude for being able to have caused a temporary distraction last night. At least, she now had the moment to think things through once more. Luciana reached for the coffee mug and took a few sips from it before running her fingers through her hair. She yawned tiredly, reminiscing about the wild things they'd done last night and a coy smile graced her features. While she held a deep attraction towards Henry, she knew it wasn't enough for her to end what she had with Jordan. She was still in love with him
Luciana was stunned to silence once more as she absorbed Henry's confession. Her eyes flickered between his, wondering if she had just heard him right."W- what?" She eventually muttered with disbelief, her expression faltering as she locked eyes with Henry.In reassurance, Henry nodded his head affirmatively, wordlessly assuring her that she had heard him right. This was the very first time he was confessing his feelings to her and he wasn't surprised to see she was fazed.His lips broadened with a warm smile as he cupped Luciana's cheek his thump grazing her face softly in an attempt to pull her from her thoughts."So, what do you say, baby? Would you be my lady?" He asked again, his tone laced with optimism.Luciana swallowed as she blinked her way back to reality. She felt a twinge in her heart as she noted Henry's optimism. He looked at her so hopefully and it was a shame she only planned to break his heart at that moment. There was no way she could agree to a public relationship
Luciana was momentarily taken aback by Henry's inquiry. Disbelief coursed through her, causing her to blink weakly as she stared at him. She hadn't expected a day would come that he'd ask her that as one of the terms of their relationship was to remain in hiding till they finally called it quits. Luciana couldn't help but wonder why the change of heart. She was fazed, and for a minute, she lost her sense of speech."Baby, are you with me?" Henry's husky voice pulled Luciana from her thoughts, prompting her to snap back to reality.Averting her gaze, she shook her head lightly and swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat before returning her gaze to him.She forced a reassuring smile to break out on her face as she met his hopeful gaze directed at her. "Yeah, I'm here... I'm with you." She replied in a small voice, her tone laden with skepticism.Henry cupped her cheek and caressed it with his thumb as his eyes bore into hers. "So, what do you say about my proposal? Are you re
"Darling, when are you going to divorce her? Now that I'm here, I can't bear the thought of sharing you with any other woman, talk more of living under the same roof with her." Alexa halted in her tracks as she caught the sultry and familiar tone of a woman's voice echoing through the walls of her matrimonial bedroom. She remained fazed as she stood outside the door, questioning if she had truly heard what she thought she had. Her skepticism dissipated when the velvety voice of her beloved husband, filled with reassurance and tenderness, followed in response to the other woman."Come on, sweetheart, you know Alexa is still pregnant with my child. I've told you before that once she gives birth, I'll divorce her and send her away, I promise."And in that moment, it dawned on Alexa that she was truly the subject of their conversation. WTF!She remained momentarily frozen to the spot, her mind spinning with conflicting thoughts as she was struck dumb with disbelief and confusion. She cou...
