Her marriage wasn't perfect. Infact, it wasn't anywhere close to being perfect. But she always had hope and tried to make things work. She had expected it to last forever, no matter how bad it was. But her hope came shattering down when he dropped the divorce papers on the table right in front of her. "Sign them." He had said coldly. That was five years ago. Now Alexandra was back, as the CEO of the fast rising clothing and apparels company, Velvet Vixen. This time, she came for revenge on the man who had broken her heart into several unmendable pieces. But she wasn't alone anymore. "Mommy, we saw a man who Jace looks like." She was back with two tiny accomplices in tow. Liam wanted to be the father of his kids and change back to the old times. Would he be able to accomplish his mission of making Alexandra fall in love with him again? Would Alexandra give in to this man who had once broken her heart and all the promises he made to her before? Would Jace and Jade accept their unknown father back?
View MoreThe car came to a stop in front of Alexa's house and she got down from it. Liam hopped down from the other side, the bag in his head as he walked to her."You forgot this." He muttered. She sighed slowly,"Thanks.....for the drive." She grudgingly said and collected the bag. "Can I ...see the kids for a moment?" He asked."You are making this awkward, Liam. Just go home." She said, walking away. Liam took two steps and covered the gap between them, as he held her hand, dragging her back to himself.Her chest heaved up and down in pure shock as her eyes widened, an emotion to show that she hadn't expected that move."I'm sorry I didn't clarify this right there." He muttered, his own chest heaving fast as well, "What is it?" Her voice came out as a whisper as her eyes locked in his heated focused eyes. She could see herself in his eyes, and a gulp went down her throat slowly."It's you I love. It's you I will ever love. It's you I will love till the day I take my last breath on earth.
"Thank you so much. Thank you." Grace cleaned her tears of joy and Alexa smiled."I'll have to take my leave now. Doreen would discuss everything with you tomorrow.""Actually," Grace stood up with her and looked at them both, "I'll like to go to court over this matter. She was the one who framed you for the incident. Why then can't she take the blame? Besides, she fired me unjustly." She added."And she also took the money meant for bribe." Alexa glanced at Doreen."I'll call you when it is time." She held Grace's hands admirably.Few minutes later, Alexa walked out of the house, Doreen accompanying her."I didn't expect that Grace would want to fight." Doreen said."Me neither." Alexa replied, "but it gets to a point where you get tired of it all and you just want to get over it, whether you win or not, you'll want to trample on those who trampled on you.""Are you at that point?" Doreen asked carefully and Alexa smirked."Yes. I'll like to teach a lot of people lessons and they bet
"Oh." Adele said, "You are the rising star of New York Fashion.""Velvet Vixen topped the charts of best companies, would you say we are still rising?" She asked. Adele kept the card in her bag as she glanced at Alexa cockingly."Well, your company is fluctuating a bit. Not many female CEOs go to prison, have a divorce story and still looses their company to a sly man." Adele said. Alexa ran her tongue over her teeth as she let out a scoff."You really did your search well, didn't you?" She asked."I deal with information on a norm. And back to Liam's attention, if he was seeking for your attention, why would he divorce you?" Alexa's hand tightened on the coffee cup when Liam walked in."Liam is here." Antonia said immediately trying to break the tightening awkwardness in the silence. "Well..." Alexandra stood up calmly, "I only came to see you, mother. I'll be on my way now." She said, getting up."She's your divorced husband's mother. Shouldn't you call her Mrs Jordans by now?" Ad
Mr Colt stood up to receive an handshake and they took their seat opposite each other calmly.Mr Colt's eyes went up to Doreen and she looked at Alexa, "Just...give us some time alone." She said and Doreen nodded, leaving the place."I'm really sorry for asking to meet you like this.""I'm gaining something from it too. " Alexa said, her face getting hard, "I didn't expect to be played dirty like this." She shook her head."I'm really sorry.""I met you at a fashion show in Australia three years ago, Mr Colt. You were one of those really captured with my work and you decided to invest in my company, to get some shares. Have you gotten enough of your money to sell the shares just like that?" She leaned closer, interlocking her fingers."No." He shook his head."Then what is it?" Alexa asked disappointedly."It was all a scam." Mr Colt said, shaking his head, "Mr Welland scammed us." He said trying to make her believe."Calm down and explain to me, what did he do?" She asked, secretly
"I also feel like he is into bribery and corruption. SH Apparels also have deals with smuggling." Alexa muttered."How did you find out all these?" Liam asked."He took the money from my account without a trace of where it went. He must have been into it for a very long time. As for the smuggling, it was Blue's mother, Grace. She'd been working with SH Apparels for a long time. I believe she was paid off a lot of money that would last her a long time.""Why would Grace do that? Stella fired her, didn't she?""She feels like the reason why Blue was sent to France is because I want to drop him." She said."Is she being a loving mother or she is dumb?" Liam muttered slowly."All parents love in their own way. I can't really blame her, all she wants is a better life for her son and that's what I plan to give Blue. So I want her name to be blotted out if things come to light." She announced. Liam sighed, "Why are you working so hard?" He asked."I don't want to be the way I was few years
Alexandra glanced at the time on her watch, it was time to pick her kids. She looked behind her and Ryder was no where to be seen. Maybe he'd gone out to take a smile after being unable to work for more than six hours of her screams and distractions. She walked out of the office, only to hear some murmuring in the adjoining room,"Nothing would go wrong. Just make sure all documents of the paper company are hidden properly. No one.... absolutely no one must find them." The call ended and the smell of cigarette got into Alexa's nose.She covered her mouth with her hand before she could sneeze and he caught her. When he turned, she quickly moved backwards to her office door, three steps and then she let out the sneeze"Who the h*ll is smoking in-" Her head hit his chest and she raised her head, feigning ignorance, "Are you blind? Didn't you see me coming out?" She missed arrogantly.Ryder narrowed his eyes at her, a small smirk on his face. Alexa bit her inner lips slowly, he hadn't se
"Alright. Thank you so much. I have been really stressed for the past few days and have not been paying attention to the kids. I'm really sorry." She apologized."I watched the news. You are passing through a lot. It's amazing how you still manage to keep everything together this way." The kids teacher responded and Alexa smiled."I guess that's what being a mom means." She muttered. After talking on the phone, Alexa was relieved. She had woken up late this morning, only to see that the kids had left. She had panicked, calling Doreen and Cassidy but the both of them hadn't picked the kids up.After thinking for a while, she called their teacher. Though the kids had been very late, they had still made it to school. Turns out, they left themselves.She'd have to talk about the meaning of danger with them, though she still had a fault by not properly paying attention to the kids.An hour later and Alexa walked into the company with her red heels. Doreen immediately met her by the door in
Alexandra took a deep breath as she got into her room, sitting on the bed. Stella's last words replayed in her brains. She knew she shouldn't think about it but it couldn't stop getting in. She couldn't handle someone else betraying her. She sighed deeply, as she curled on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.The next morning, Jade and Jace rushed into the room while Alexa still slept, looking very exhausted. She hadn't even changed from her wear last night. Jade pursed her lips, staring at Alexa carefully. She looked at Jace who nodded his head once and they hit each other's palms before walking out of the room.****Jade tapped her feet impatiently as she waited for Jace to pay off the cab man."Are you little kids sure that this is where you are going? Instead of school?" The driver asked and shook his hand, holding the cash in it."We come here everyday. We know our way." He replied in his small baby voice. The driver shook his head uncomfortably but still collected his payment an
“Hey, let go of me!” Alexa shot as she pulled her hand away from Liam's hand. He was gripping it tight.“I'm sorry.” He muttered, realizing that. She sighed, twitching her lips.“Thanks for that.” She said calmly. “I wouldn't have known what to do if you hadn't helped me.” She muttered.“Scream for help.” He said.“Who would come?” She scoffed loudly.“I will. I will come whenever you need help, no matter what.” He said and she pressed her lips tight together, staring at him blankly.“Why did you dance with Ryder when you hate him so much?” He asked and she shrugged lightly.“It was the best way to talk. Besides, I don't hate him so much.” She said and he raised his brow.“The level of how much hate depends on the level of how much love you've had for the person before.” She explained and he smirked.“You've hated me for five years.” He said and she blinked, biting her lower lips.“Why did you ask?” She changed the topic not wishing to dwell on her own emotions.“I hated it. Seeing yo
She had been sitting on the chair for about three hours now, while staring at the wall clock as it ticked away.The time was 12: 59. In one ten more seconds, it would clock one and Liam wasn't still home. She sighed, this wasn't the first time or the second, not even the fifth as she had lost count of how many times he had repeated this. She began to think about how the past few months had gone by and how she had survived it.When it clocked one, Alexandra stood up silently from her chair and went inside the room, leaving the sumptuous dinner she had prepared on the table. It was her 25th birthday and she had dared to hope Liam would be home to celebrate it with her, afterall he was her husband. But he had not come home and she was so sure he didn't even remember.She cried for a long time till she fell asleep. It was her routine to cry and cry all over again till she felt she couldn't breath and took it as her signal to sleep off. By the time she would wake up, it would be a new d...
