Semua Bab EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy.": Bab 31 - Bab 40

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

"...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

"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

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
