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 MoreHer hands wrapped around his neck as she pressed closer to him. In that instant, the door opened and Liam pushed her away."What the hell is -" He stopped, his heart beat racing fast as he stepped away from her, turning towards the door.Alexandra stood there, looking at him. Her eyes? He couldn't explain the emotions that filled them as she stared at him and then at Stella."I heard Liam was coming to your place to talk to you about the issues." She said as she stepped towards them."Yeah. He was pleading for me to help you. Pathetic." Stella curled her hair in her eyes, staring at Alexa with a cunning smile."You don't have to do that for me, Stella. If you think I pirated your designs. Feel free to spread the word and also please showcase all of your designs on the screen." Alexa said."So you mean, you are ready to take the blame for stealing?" Stella raised a brow and Alexa shrugged."If there is any blame to take,then yes." She replied."You are going to lose awards and you know
THE AWARDS CEREMONY "The styles are going to be revealed before the dresses are being shown. SH Apparels is trying to restore their images and most of the best will be mine." The voice said at the other end of the phone and Blue sighed, worry occupying every available space on his face."But mom, I thought you said the styles weren't going to be shown again. What the hell is happening?" He asked, his voice higher than normal."Well, Stella thought she could change Mr Jordans mind but it seemed all contracts has been pulled off, compensation has even been made already." She replied, "Since she doesn't want to lose out, showing the new designs for the next section could be something else she could try.""This is fvcked." Blue muttered."What do you mean?" His mother asked."Why did you have to work with SH Apparels of all places." He closed his eyes as he pulled the phone from his ears and hung the call immediately. A shiver ran down his spine as he stared at himself in
Stella walked into his company, her heels clanking on the ground as she took every step."What are you doing here again?" Eugene stood up blocking her before she could get into Liam's office and she pushed him out of the way, immediately, and walked into the office."Hey." She folded her hands as she dropped her bag and stared at him right in the eye."Stella, what the hell are you doing here?" Liam closed the document he was reviewing as he stared at her."The fashion show is just some days away. How are you going to solve the fact that you don't have a designer yet?" She raised her brow."What do you want?""I'm not here as your ex girlfriend, okay? I'm here as the representative of SH Apparels!" She shot, desperation all over her face."I'm sorry, Stella. But whether you are here as a representative or as my ex, it doesn't matter. Point is, I'm not interested in having a conversation with you. I'm cutting all ties with both SH Apparels and you too." He said calmly."Do you know wha
"You tried to scare them?" Alexa raised her brow at Ryder."Of course not. I never even knew they were your kids at that time." Ryder said, "I think she was just being scared of my stature." He smiled."You had a mean look on your face." Jade retorted."No, I didn't. You didn't even give me the chance to talk to you." Ryder was about to pat her hair but she moved backwards immediately, shoving his hand away."Mom, it's late. Let's go in." She said and held Alexa's hand, dragging her into the house."Goodnight." Ryder said just before Alexa got into the house, Jace followed after them, casting a glare on Ryder before he went in."I think your kids hate me." Ryder shook his head."And they don't usually hate people. They are very nice, so if they hate you, it simply means something is wrong somewhere." Liam smirked. Ryder chuckled as he turned to look at Liam."Nothing can possibly be wrong anywhere.""Do you mean to say the kids hate you for no reason?" Liam raised a brow."Exactly wha
Alexa pulled her legs away from his hands and he looked up at her."I don't need your help. I wear whatever I want." She said."It's hurting you.""Aren't you embarrassed by what you are doing? You have a lot of reputation and there are many eyes here." She said and he paused at her words as he got up. He had said these exact words to her seven years ago when they went to a party. She remembered."I...""Leave." She said, fisting her hands.Liam sighed slowly as he turned and left the restaurant, a block hard in his chest. He grunted, dragging his tie from his neck to give him space to breathe. He got into his car and hit his head on the steering, his eyes closed and face tired.He was sorry, really sorry but Alexa was bent on making things hell for him. She had his kids and he wanted her back. He always wanted her back. God knows how many times he searched for her during their five years apart but she had been really good in keeping her identity hidden and now she wants to take his k
"We've gotten the ship, unfortunately, it seems there was a malfunction done by someone on purpose." Johnny said and Alexandra sighed as she closed her eyes. Jace and Jade were correct, something had happened. She felt it was connected to Stella but she couldn't prove it without evidence."Thank you for finding out, Mr Johnny." She said after a while of silence."I'm really sorry for this. This is a problem on our part and we'll love to refund, even if it's half of the payment.""Thank you, Mr Johnny, but both the money and time was the problem. I can see clearly that it is not your fault.""Ma, the goods have arrived." Doreen said and Alexandra nodded."Goodbye, Mr Johnny. Thank you so much for your time." She said and ended the call."Let's go. All hands are to be on deck for the designs, we have to get ready for the Fashion week. It's just a week and some days left." She said as the walked hurriedly to the design room."Blue, do you have the new designs you talked about ready?" She
She explained things to them and Jade nodded her head as she walked down the stairs to the living room. They turned on the lights and they all sat on the sofa."I think I've found another path, mom. I want to become a private investigator." Jade said and Alexa nodded, now she knew Jade wasn't serious.The young girl got down from the chair, her hands folded behind her back as she walked to and fro, before turning to look at Jace."What I you think, Jace? I feel like this sounds and smells fishy." She said."Don't tell me it's because the materials fell into the sea? So you think it smells fishy." Jace said and Jade looked at him, clicking her tongue as she shook her head."How did you become the smartest in you class?" She asked."I was just kidding okay." Jace shot and she shrugged indifferently, "Mom, I don't think there's anything weird in this. Businesses have risks and all that, let's just say this is one of the risks we didn't see coming. But you have to get other materials as
"Oh, I came to meet up with someone in the hospital. Definitely did not expect that I'll find you here with two little kids. When did you have them? The news didn't take that.""They are my kids. Whether I want them secret or public is my choice. If you will excuse me." Liam said, his jaw clenched tightly."Liam, who knows about these kids?" Ryder asked and Liam scoffed."My family and their mother's family. We are many enough,.don't you think?" He asked as he walked out of Ryder, leaving him in the hospital.Ryder pursed his lips for a moment, wondering who the mother of the kids were.~~~~"I think we have to get another goods. It is just few weeks left for the Fashion show. I can't imagine having to rush through those stress." Alexandra said as she opened her file, checking through them."We can get the materials from another shipping company. I'll contact them tonight." Doreen replied."Thank you, Doreen. You've been such a great help, what would I do without you?" Alexandra lo
Alexandra gasped as her phone fell down from her hands and she picked it back quickly."What did they say? Can we get it back?" She asked."No, ma'am. It's not even seen yet." Doreen replied."How can this happen at a critical moment? What the hell is this?" Alexandra fisted her hands as she ended the call and immediately called Cassidy,"Cassidy, please can you come the hospital and stay with the-""What do you need Cassidy for when I'm here?" Liam asked as he took the phone out of her hand and pressed the red button, ending the call."You don't have any right to end my call." She shot as she dragged the phone angrily, her eyes fierce."But I believe I can stay with my kids when you need that. What is wrong?" He asked, his demeanor calm as he stared at her worried face and she hissed, collapsing on the chair."I have to go to the office right now.""I can drive you there.""Stay with the kids and bring them home later." She said as she stood up, leaving the hospital and getting into
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...
