EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy." 036
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

A brief silence settled between them after Alexa's response. Catherine was dumbstruck, unable to believe what Alexa had told her to do. Glancing around herself and observing the distance between them, Catherine's face contorted with skepticism as she turned to face Alexa once more.Her brows scrunched up. "Are you being serious?" She questioned skeptically.Alexa shrugged and sighed heavily. "Did I laugh when I said that?""No, you didn't.""So, why the question?" She wiggled her brows at Catherine before prompting further. "Could you go straight to the point already? You're wasting the time I don't have."Catherine gulped, trying to swallow the lump that formed in her throat amidst trying to swallow down the humiliation from Alexa. She felt a wave of mortification wash over her as she grappled with Alexa's nonchalance and indifference. Nonetheless, she tried to remind herself of the main reason she was in her office; she was here on a mission. She couldn't let her emotions get in th

"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

An overwhelming silence passed the table as everyone absorbed the revelation in shock. Everyone was surprised except for Catherine, who looked nonchalant as she continued eating her meal. She was already aware of Ivy's plans before now. "What?" Torrey retorted, prompting Ivy to nod in affirmation as their eyes met. "Yes, Father,""What nonsense!" Igris snapped, rising to her feet and pointing a finger at Ivy, her eyes burning with fury. "How dare you accuse my son like this?""Accuse?" Ivy scoffed derisively, shaking her head. "I'm accusing no one. He knows I'm telling the truth.""You're lying," Igris cut her off in annoyance."Hey, everybody calm down!" Torrey barked an order.Igris glared at Ivy hardly before resuming her seat, her annoyance palpable. She shook her head, obviously fuming as she turned her gaze from Ivy to Torrey.Meanwhile, Henry remained quiet as he contemplated his thoughts."Henry, Son," Torrey started calmly as he turned his face to Henry, who reciprocated hi

"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."

"... I want to know, Alexa, the reason behind your hesitation..." His words echoed in her ears, making her heartbeat quicken as she pondered her thoughts.Alexa didn't realize she had gone eerily silent until Tyler's voice called out to her again."Hey, are you there?" His words sailing into her ears, she swallowed, snapping back to reality. "Yeah, I am." "So... What's the reason?" He questioned once more.A surge of annoyance coursed through Alexa as she sensed Tyler was controlling over the issue. For crying out loud, he had already handed full authority to he before he went on his trip so why the hell was he questioning her procedures now? Alexa mused.Nonetheless, she reserved her thoughts as she focused more on uncovering which of Jordan's family had reached out to Tyler and how much they'd told him. Judging by his sedate reaction, they mustn't have revealed to him that Jordan was her ex, and that was the reason she was reluctant to set him free. Alexa heaved a sigh at the tho

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.

After the conclusion of the meeting with Jordan, Ivy returned home that day. She had left behind a shocked Jordan. Although she wasn't certain of her accusations of Luciana, she was reluctant to give her the benefit of the doubt. During her years living with Jordan while he had been married to Luciana, she had to realize that Luciana was a cunning and manipulative woman, who could twist her way into and out of anything.Ivy had decided to look into the matter further. She would carry out a thorough investigation and find out what was really going on between Henry and Luciana. Jordan hadn't told her anything tangible regarding his relationship with Luciana or what mission he had sent her on that landed her in Henry's office. Ivy couldn't understand why he was withdrawing that information from her but one thing she knew for sure was that she was going to uncover Luciana's secrets. That bitch couldn't be trusted."You're back," Catherine's voice sailed into Ivy's ears as she stepped int

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

Luciana arrived at the Salvador's company a few minutes past eleven that morning. She was clad in a black slit skirt that perfectly accentuated her curves, matching it with a light blue blouse. Her hair was styled in soft waves and it flowed down her shoulders as she walked elegantly towards the gigantic building.She felt nervous about being seen despite putting on shades that partly concealed her face. She clutched her purse against her hip as she headed towards the elevator.She felt a pang of anxiety gripped her. She hadn't informed Henry she was coming to see him. She couldn't help but wonder how he was going to react to her abrupt visit. Luciana already knew how this was going to end. The thought of it had her heart racing with excitement.The elevator finally dinged after a few seconds since she entered, announcing her arrival at the top floor. Upon stepping out, Luciana glanced around to ensure either her mother-in-law or Grandfather Torrey wasn't around her. She felt very anx

Luciana yawned as she fluttered her eyes open that morning. Realizing what had transpired between her and Henry the previous night, her mind was on alert, and she quickly darted her gaze to check if he was asleep by her side on the bed. To her greatest disappointment, she was met with the vacant side of the bed.Her heart pricked her painfully and she hissed with irritation. She glanced at the room to grab a trace of him but there was none. He was gone. It was as though he never came by the previous night. It was as though Henry never came over to her house and made love to her when she least expected it. Though Luciana was hurt, reminiscing about their love-making the previous night, her heart fluttered with delight. At least that was a start at getting Henry back. She knew he couldn't resist her, she'd just have to try harder to win his attention.With this resolve in mind, Luciana hauled herself out of bed, heading towards the bathroom first to get a quick shower before going over

Jordan was flabbergasted, his mind reeling with confusion as he blinked back to reality. "What the hell are you talking about? Luciana is having what?" He snapped, his shock palpable.Ivy sighed and chuckled, shaking her head as she replied. "Well, I said Luciana might be having an affair with Henry, our brother. Are you aware of that?""Might or is? Which exactly?" Jordan's brows scrunched up with bewilderment as he couldn't comprehend her words. He hated the fact that she was beating about the bush. His mind was already spiraling with conflicting thoughts, and he needed her confirmation of what she had just said.Ivy heaved a sigh, a weary smile etching her face as she leaned back on the chair. She hesitated, staring at Jordan like she was contemplating her thoughts.Jordan's impatience wore thin as he noticed Ivy's silence. "Just speak up already? What are you talking about? How did you find out about this? Is this even true?"Ivy finally responded after a moment. "Well, I'm hundre
