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

    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 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

    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 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 f

Luciana froze momentarily as Henry's inquiry resonated in her ears. Her heart began racing rapidly as her eyes darted between his annoyed orbs. 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 posses

    "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

    "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

    "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

    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
