"What are you reading...?"

The question echoed into Alexa's ears, causing her to pause as she thought she hadn't heard him right.

Skeptically, she redirected her gaze at him. "What?" She questioned instinctively, her phone clutched in her hand.

Jordan pointed at her phone and repeated. "I said, what are you reading?"

Alexa couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe his audacity.

She blinked weakly, a chuckle rumbling from her as she registered his seriousness.

She shook her head subtly as she regarded him for a moment before she lashed out.

"The fuck do you mean what am I reading? Who the fuck do you think you are to even ask me that? How dare you." Alexa snapped with annoyance, her orbs glistening with resentment.

Nonetheless, the billionaire shrugged nonchalantly and pointed out. "You came here to interrogate me, didn't you? I just think you should do that instead of getting carried away by anything that must have caught your attention earlier."

Alexa was stunned. She hesit

    Luciana Henderson was literally the last person Jordan had imagined would visit him while still in custody. Ever since they got divorced about a month ago, Luciana had left the country to who knows where. Jordan wasn't bothered about her and he never cared about where she had gone to. If anything, he still loathed her with every fiber of his being for all the heartache and mockery she had put him through. Luciana was a damn bitch, and if they hadn't been anywhere around the police, Jordan would have reciprocated her visitation with a harmful gesture; perhaps, snap her neck and send her to the hospital."The fuck are you doing here, Luciana?" He asked, his hard gaze lingering on her as he watched her approach his side. He was already upset. Luciana Henderson offered him a small smile, her cute dimples displaying on her rosy cheeks, complementing her fiery red hair that flowed down her shoulders in soft waves. She was dressed extravagantly in a furry white coat and she fidgeted her sun

    Upon the revelation, Jordan had been livid. He confronted Luciana about it, and when she attempted to deny the claims, he slammed the DNA paperwork alongside divorce papers to her face, ordering her to get out of his life immediately.Jordan had been genuinely hurt, considering he also needed an heir to acquire his inheritance. It completely devastated him to learn that he had been fooled by Luciana for four whole years. He had wanted to seek extreme measures to ensure she paid for what she did, but Luciana had begged for his mercy, also promising she would flee the country and never cross his path again. After several times of begging, Jordan had heeded her pleas for the sake of the innocent toddler. He made a pact with Luciana that as long as she kept out of his way, he would stay out of hers. Guess that was all jokes, seeing the same woman who had fooled him, was sitting comfortably before him with nice clothes and expensive jewelries while Jordan rot in his shabby prison uniform.

    "...Kids that look exactly like you,"Jordan was flabbergasted. "What?"Before now, Jordan had instructed Norman to carry out an investigation on Alexa. He had done that in attempts to access information he'd be able to use to manipulate while she interrogated him later on. Norman had been on it and had promised to get back to him as soon as he found something tangible. Surely, this was the last thing Jordan anticipated he'd find out; that Alexa had kids? The same Alexa who couldn't conceive for him and lost their baby in the hospital four years ago? And what the fuck did Norman mean by his last statement. 'Kids that look exactly like you.' What did that even mean? Jordan pondered.He could hardly believe his ears. If it hadn't been for his long-time friendship with Norman, he'd have concluded Norman was talking gibberish. But he knew that was unlike the man. He would never joke about anything, talk more of something that triggering, considering the hell Jordan had been through in L

    Jordan's thoughts were a raging mess by the time he returned to his cell that evening after his meeting with Norman. He was consumed with distressing thoughts and questions he didn't have answers to. He was overthinking a lot and it greatly disturbed him. Norman's earlier claims regarding Alexa's supposed children repeated in his head like a mantra. His brows were furrowed in a frown as he contemplated each thought that swirled within him.'Kids that look exactly like you'. How true was this statement? Was Norman talking gibberish, or did he actually mean it? Was he trying to pull his legs or something? But Jordan realized Norman wasn't the kind of man who'd joke about something so sensitive. Then what was all this? Jordan pondered.As he reclined in the chair in his cell, he gazed up at the ceiling like it had the answers he was searching for.After a moment of contemplation without any reasonable conclusion, Jordan heaved out heavily. He lowered his gaze to the floor, trying to pus

    "No. No damn way..." Catherine muttered absentmindedly as she shook her head. She was already registering Jordan's inquiry in her head and it frightened her to conclude with her suspicion."What is it, Mother? Did you recall something?" Jordan asked promptly, causing Catherine to pull off her thoughts.Though she was still fazed, she darted her eyes towards Jordan, regarding him with hesitation. Her lips were slightly parted in disbelief as she considered the possibilities of his claims. She found it hard to accept. How could that even be possible?"Talk to me, Mom, what's going on?" Jordan urged, seeing Catherine had suddenly gone mute.Catherine blinked weakly as her gaze faltered. Her frown only deepened when she locked eyes with Jordan's. In that instant, she caught a glimpse of a resemblance between the toddler she had seen with Alexa the other day and Jordan. Just as quickly as it had come, it also vanished like that. But Catherine noted it and this fazed her even more."Jordan?

    "Here are the additional files you requested, ma'am," Sapphire added as she placed down the workload of files in her hand on Alexa's desk. Alexa, who had been working tirelessly behind her computer, lifted her gaze to observe the workload and she couldn't help but exhale heavily, knowing she had a long day ahead of her. "Are these all of them?" She eventually asked, shifting her gaze to Sapphire, who nodded in affirmation in response to her inquiry.Alexa continued with a breathy response. "Okay, that's fine. I'll look into it alright? Thank you, Sapphire,""Always, Ma'am." She smiled genially. "If you need anything else, just let me know.""I sure will." Alexa managed a smile before urging her to return to her office, which was only a few feet away from hers since they shared the same space.Alexa resumed working after Sapphire had exited her presence. She engrossed herself in her work because she found it as a means to also escape her chaotic reality. Knowing each time she lost c

    Alexa's eyes darted to the entrance as she noticed someone walk past the door. But she wasn't prepared for the guest that stood beside Sapphire as Sapphire made her way to her."Hey, ma'am, you have a visitor," Sapphire told Alexa as she approached her desk. She added in a quiet voice so just Alexa could hear her. "I'm not really familiar with her but she claims she's your relative or something..." Alexa was still in a daze, trying to regain her composure. She hadn't realized she had gone silent for more than a minute until Tyler's voice on the other end pulled her from her reverie."Hey, baby, you there?" Tyler asked with concern, noticing Alexa's sudden silence. "What's going on?"Alexa blinked weakly as his voice resonated in her ears. Realization dawned on her that she was still on a call with him so she quickly returned her attention back to him.Reassuring him, she spoke. "Hey, I'm still here... Can I call you back? Something came up just now.""What's that? Are you going to be

    "Oh my goodness, Elena, I can't believe you would do that to me," Alexa said in annoyance as she swiftly pulled by the road.Her laughter subsiding, Elena asked with confusion. "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

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.
