CHAPTER 070.

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 possessively, causing her to halt.

Luciana's face contorted with a frown as the tension between them escalated. She thought of ways to get past this and when she finally found a solution, she began softly, her tone laced with feigned confusion.

"What?" She stuttered, her eyes flickering between his. "I don't understand you, baby. I shouldn't lie to you? I shouldn't lie to you about what?" She questioned.

Henry's jaws clenched as he reciprocated her gaze. "I asked you a question, Luciana. Where were you today? Who did you visit?"

Luciana's frown deepened as she responded with annoyance. "I told you... I have a bedridden friend at the hospital..."

"Which hospital?" He cut her off tersely.

Luciana was stunned and she struggled to utter another word for a moment.

Finally regaining her composure, she shot back. "Where the hell is this coming from? Why are you asking me these questions? Don't you trust me or what?"

"Tell me, Luciana, don't try to twist this. I want to know which hospital you were at today, is that too hard for you to tell?" He corked his thick brow at her.

Luciana licked her lips as she regarded him with frustration. "Yes," she hissed irritably. "With the way you're talking to me like that, it's as if you're interrogating me. I feel like a suspect right now... The fuck," she added, her tone filled with disappointment as she averted her eyes from his.

Henry looked at her hesitantly, his expression still filled with fury. "Are you lying to me, Luciana?" He asked abruptly, causing Luciana to dart her gaze at him again.

"What?" She muttered.

"Are you lying to me, Luciana? Is there something you're not telling me?" Henry asked again, his gaze fixated on her intently.

Luciana swallowed nervously as she contemplated her thoughts. Though her exterior remained confident and unwavering, deep down, her heart pounded in her chest heavily. She couldn't fathom the reasons behind Henry's sudden interrogation. She hadn't realized how much he was suspecting her until now. It seemed he already knew something was amiss but he wasn't certain what was.

Upon this realization, Luciana thought to use this moment to her advantage. She could simply just manipulate him into believing he wasn't thinking straight and he was wrong about his suspicions regarding her. However, it still plagued to know that Henry was beginning to lose trust in her. That wasn't what she needed at the moment. If she were to help Jordan sabotage the upcoming election, she needed Henry wrapped around her finger. Luciana knew she wouldn't be able to achieve that if Henry truly suspected she had something up her sleeves.

Snapping back to reality, Luciana's expression softened as she made to reply to him. She stared at him with manipulative eyes as she began.

"Baby..."

Henry looked between her eyes searchingly.

"Do you trust me?" Luciana asked as they locked eyes.

Henry regarded her skeptically. "Right now, I'm not sure about the answer to that." He replied.

Luciana's heart pricked her painfully but she maintained he composure. She offered a polite smile as she continued. "Why's that?"

Without hesitation, he answered. "I feel like you're lying to me. I feel like you're keeping things from me, Luciana."

"What could that be, If I may ask?"

"That's the problem, if I knew, I wouldn't be here asking you right now, would I?" He retorted. Unknowingly, he had just affirmed Luciana's initial assumptions about him not knowing anything. He was merely suspicious of her, but he didn't really have evidence to prove his suspicion.

Luciana's insides coursed with relief, prompting her to exhale exasperatedly.

She chuckled softly before adding as she reached for Henry's face. "Baby, you can trust me, I promise. Nothing's changed. I'm telling you the truth." She stated.

"Are you sure about that, Luciana?" Henry asked. "You know I have a thing for liars."

She nodded. "I know and I'm reassuring you that you can trust me. I'm still your woman and forever will be," she winked at him as she grazed his face with her thumb softly. Her eyes bore into his seductively as she reached her second hand for his sturdy chest.

"Then how come you're refusing to accept my proposal to make the world know that you're truly mine?" Henry asked skeptically as he regarded her.

Luciana sighed softly. "Baby, I told you, I can't do that. At least not now..."

"Then when exactly, Luciana?" He asked sharply. "Are you still in love with him?"

Though her heart thumped nervously, Luciana's brows furrowed with confusion. "Who are you talking about?"

"Are you still in love with my brother? Jordan." He asked, his gaze holding hers.

Luciana's expression was unwavering as she shook her head. "No. No, I'm not. You're the only man I have eyes for at the moment."

Her words caused a reaction from him and he managed a smile for the first time.

"Are you sure? Is this your way of confessing your feelings for me?" He asked huskily, his hand reaching for her hair.

Seeing the effects her words had on him, Luciana thought to play along.

She shrugged and replied. "Um, maybe. What if?"

"Hmmm," Henry raised his brows enthusiastically, his smile broadening to a boyish grin. He cupped her cheeks and stared at her lovingly before confessing the words.

"I love you, Luciana. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

Luciana smiled coyly, her insides fluttering with delight at his confession. "I love you too, Mr. Salvador." She replied and just like that, she had succeeded in keeping him.

Henry reached for her lips, claiming them with his. Shutting their eyes, their tongues teased one another as they deepened the passionate kiss.

Henry's hand roamed her naked body, gliding downward to cup Luciana's lush ass. She gasped out as he grabbed her roughly.

"I'm going to fuck you really hard tonight. That's what you get for causing me to panic over nothing." He whispered in her ears huskily as his hand reached between her thighs.

"I can't wait." Luciana moaned breathlessly as Henry trailed kisses down her neck. In one swift movement, he lifted her by her ass before pushing her to the wall gently. There, he fell to his knees before her, throwing one of her legs on his shoulder as he prepared to eat her out.

    "Mommy, are you going to be seeing Daddy soon?" Blair asked her mother as they began heading towards the airport terminal. They had just landed a few minutes ago and they were currently strutting towards the terminal, where Alexa knew Elena would be waiting for her. She texted her a few minutes ago of their arrival and Elena had reassured her that she was already at the airport terminal.Alexa looked down at her child, who was holding her hand firmly. She offered Blair a soft smile and nodded curtly, although unsure if they would really be seeing Jordan today. "Sure, baby, you'll be seeing Daddy soon,""I can't wait, Mommy," Blair grinned, displaying a small set of teeth that caused Alexa's heart to melt at her cuteness.Atlas also chimed in, grinning from ear to ear. "Me too, Mommy! I missed Daddy so much and I can't wait to tell him about my girlfriend in school."Alexa chuckled with amusement at her son's antics. It was true; even Atlas had found love in some girl at the new schoo

    **ONE YEAR LATER**"Oh my goodness, Alexa, I'm so excited!" Elena's thrilled voice resonated through the phone as Alexa clutched the phone to her ear.A smile spread across her face as she absorbed Elena's excitement. Even though she couldn't see the woman closely, she could imagine the happiness that was currently radiating from her. Elena sounded so thrilled."I'll be at the airport, Alexa, I swear. I'll leave work. I'll wait for you till you touch down. Gosh, I can't wait!" She screeched enthusiastically.Alexa couldn't help but chuckle as she absorbed Elena's promise. She couldn't blame her; she was also dying to see her just as much as Elena couldn't wait to see her. How much time has passed since they last saw each other? One whole year.That's right, the last time Alexa had seen Elena was when she had left the country a year ago after what happened with Tyler and Jordan. It had taken her six whole months to gather herself before she began even reaching out to Elena again.Elen

    Jordan was distraught as he rang Alexa for the second time and there was still no response. He checked his messages to see if she had replied to his texts but also there was no response. A frown crossed his face as he couldn't comprehend Alexa's sudden change.He was worried and he wished he was back in the city so he could visit her. However, he was currently out of town as he had gone on a business trip as the new head of JS Enterprises. He had merely concluded the meeting when he decided to call her again. However, all of his calls went straight to voicemail. Worry gnawed at Jordan as he thought something might have happened. His heart constricted painfully at the idea that Tyler must have returned to Alexa's home to confront her. What if that was the reason she wasn't taking any of his calls again? What if something had happened, and maybe Tyler had overreacted like before?These considerations had Jordan's heart racing frantically as worry consumed him. Checking his messages one

    'Baby, you haven't been taking my calls, I hope you're doing okay. I'll be coming later. I love you.' Alexa stared at Jordan's message for the umpteenth feeling a clog in her throat as she read it. It was true; she hadn't been taking his calls and had been completely avoidant since what happened with Tyler. Tyler still hadn't been taking her calls nor replying to any of her apology messages. Alexa was fazed and worried. Although she never wanted things to end like this, she felt this was best for everyone."Hey, are you good?" Elena's voice disrupted Alexa's thoughts as she asked her friend with concern laden in her tone. Alexa, who had been sitting down staring at her phone as she got prepared in the living room, looked up at her friend and nodded slowly. "Uhm, I am.""Are you sure?" Elena asked, holding Alexa's gaze. "Are you sure this is it, Alexa?" She asked further so Alexa could really comprehend the depth of her question.Alexa swallowed and nodded curtly, averting her eyes a

    "Jordan!" Alexa exclaimed with terror as Jordan seized Tyler up, ready to punch him across the face again but Alexa quickly tugged at his arm, halting him effectively. "Stop it, stop it, please," she cried out, gripping Jordan's arm tightly.Jordan seethed with rage as he glared at Tyler, whose nostrils were now trickling with blood. He could barely control his raging emotions as all he wanted at that moment was to teach Tyler a lesson for calling Alexa a 'whore.' How dare he?"Jordan, please, stop it. Let him go," Alexa's pleas sailed into his ears, causing his heart to ache. He reluctantly loosened his hold on Tyler's collar at Alexa's order. Jordan was pissed off. "He doesn't deserve you, Alexa,""I know, still let him go, Jordan. Let him go right now," she asserted firmly, her heart twisting with anguish. Gosh, she hated this. She had tried her best to avoid this drama but she guessed she failed in doing so. Acutely aware this wasn't the time to berate herself as she had two me

    An overwhelming feeling of shock and bewilderment coursed through Alexa as she met Tyler's furious gaze. Tyler had just barged into her office unannounced and his demeanor screamed of nothing but pure anger. "T-Ty," Alexa stuttered, prompting Jordan to turn to face the man who had just entered.The two men locked eyes in a heated gaze until Tyler started with a snap. "Really, Alexa?" He shook his head with disbelief. "Really?"Even though she couldn't comprehend what he meant by that, her heart raced wildly as she absorbed his indifference. He looked miffed and with the way he glared at Jordan, Alexa didn't need a soothsayer to tell her that Tyler must have found out the truth somehow. But how come? It wasn't supposed to be like this. She had planned to tell him herself. No, no, this was bad."Ty," She called out to him frantically as she pulled out of her thoughts. Her eyes held remorse as they met his gaze. "What is the matter?" She asked skeptically, trying not to believe he had
