"Come here,sweetheart. " Alexa spread her hands wide and Jade rushed into her arms.

"It's been so long since you came to pick us up yourself, mum." Jace noticed almost immediately and Alexandra's frowned lightly as she thinned her eyes at him cutely.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked in a parrot's voice and Jade giggled.

"Where's Dad? Is he busy today?" Jace went straight to the point.

"What?!" Alexandra gasped, "so you don't like the fact that I came to pick you up today?" She asked.

"Well, dad gets us a lot of things when he comes to pick us up." Jace shrugged.

"He gets us sweets."

"Too much is sweets isn't good for kids. That is why I'm going to get you bitter lemon today." She said seriously and Jade's face immediately changed as horror washed over her face.

"What?" Jace looked up at his mother, "Don't get us that." He snapped.

"Alright then. Then let mommy take you home." She said and put them in the car before she turned to the other side.

    "They want us to go out for their birthday." She said, folding one of her hands against her chest as she rested her back on the window, her phone in her other hand."Together?""Of course. I don't make a family alone." She muttered."Are you fine with that or-""Even if I'm not fine with that, I want to do it for my kids." She furrowed her brows, "Are you looking for an opportunity to be absent?" She asked."No. Of course not." He paused, "I'm just so excited. I can't believe we are going on a full family date. ""Are you a kid or what?" She scoffed, "It's on a Friday anyway, so-""Why don't we go on a vacation? We can travel somewhere as a family and then-""Don't push your luck, Liam." She warned and he stopped."Alright, then. See you." She ended the call without replying back and she held the phone tight in her hands, releasing a breath. She was going crazy.Her phone rang again and it was Liam, she picked."Did you really agree to the fashion show?" He asked."I'm pretty sure you

    "Hey, so what did the kids agree on for their birthday? I've prepared the best style Jade could have on her hair. What about her dress?" Cassidy asked, collapsing onto the plush chair."You are overly talkative today. What's the occasion?" Alexandra narrowed her eyes as she stood up from her seat, walking to meet Cassidy. She sat on the chair and rested her back on Cassidy."I've always been overly talkative and you know it.""But you look so excited? What is it? " Alexandra turned her neck to look up at Cassidy and Cassidy smirked."I know who he is." She confessed. Alexandra pursed her lips."Who...is ..he? Who is that?" She asked."My one night stand." Cassidy muttered nonchalantly."The guy who had been stalking you!?" Alexandra sat up immediately in shock, "Did you catch him? When?" "I didn't catch him technically...." Cassidy fiddled with her fingers, "He revealed himself to me.""So? You reported him?" Alexa asked, looking at Cassidy who scratched the back of her neck. "You di

    "I thought you knew." Mr Hills said, confusion on his face. Liam scoffed, getting up as he unbuttoned his suit and pulled his collar slowly. His hands got to the edge of table, grabbing in tight."Tell your kids..." He gritted his teeth, his eyes dark, "...to watch their fvcking backs. Good day, Mr Hills." Liam pulled his off his suit before he got into his car, unable to contain the heat of his own anger. Madness raged in his eyes. He had been played by a bunch of crazy idiots. His fingers tightened on the steering, his teeth gritting hardly against each other so much that he could hear the sound in his ears."You all are fvcked." He muttered in anger and finally turned the steering on.***Alexandra looked at the time on her phone as she walked out of the company. It was really late already and the time was about 9 pm.She had stayed in the office working so long on the new clothes because she wanted to have enough time for the kids birthday by weekend. A sigh escaped from her li

    She laid on the bed, opposite him, her back turned to him as she did everything but sleep like she originally planned. It was the first time in five years being in the same room with him and while it felt good, it still felt foreign. The rain wasn't planning to stop soon and she wasn't also planning to watch it rain down the whole night, so she really needed to sleep."You need to sleep, Alexa. You are not yet strong enough." He said calmly and she turned her neck a little to see him staring at her. If he thought she was going to get into his arms like other times, he was going mental.The thunder roared on more time and she covered her mouth with her hands to stop the scream that might have escaped in the dead of the night. Her head hit a rock hard chest and she looked up, only to realize she'd rolled into his arms as a result of the screaming.Alexa, you are just so stupid. She mentally hit herself, about to roll away but he pinned her there by crossing his arm round her waist."Ju

    "Eat a lot. You said you'd be so busy today." He said, pushing some of the food closer to her."I'm not a glutton." She said in annoyance and her eyes fell on the food. Different foods that he knew she liked. So bad, she stopped eating most because they reminded her of him. He always bought her her favorite things when he knew she was mad because that easily pacified her.Did he still think she was still on that?"What are these?" She asked, her eyes going up to him. "Your favorite. That's why I said you should have your fill." He smiled and she scoffed lightly."I'll prefer just a cup of coffee. Thank you." She said and poured herself a cup of coffee which she took only a sip off, before getting up."Sorry you had to waste that amount of money, Liam." She patted his shoulder as she walked out of the restaurant.Liam gulped in suprise as he stared at the filled table. She hadn't even moved her spoon from the position yet. He stood up immediately, running after her,"I'll drop you -"

    "She'll be fine." Cassidy said, trying to calm Louisa down but the lady wasn't having it."I at least have to get some food to her." She said as she covered the three steps takeaway she had prepared."I'll take it to her. These kids need someone who can be with them, I don't think I can do the job. Please." Cassidy said and Louisa let out a deep breath."Just take care of my baby." She muttered resignatedly. Cassidy nodded as she left the house, Doreen had already called her with Alexandra's message for her mother. Don't let her come to the prison. Knowing how Louisa could be, it was easier to let her just stay at home and take care of the kids."Taxi!" She hailed down a cab which swiftly sped past her without waiting. Another car stooped in front of her, a black sleek Mercedes Benz.It was Sam."Hop in." He tilted his head and she released a sigh as she hopped into the car."I could have stayed there for forever." She muttered as she fixed her seatbelt."Where's your car?" Sam aske

    "Mr Jordans is-"The door opened, cutting the secretary short and Liam stepped in, standing in front of Mr Hills with his hands in his pockets."I didn't expect you'd come back to meet me as fast as this." Mr Hills replied calmly as he looked up at Liam.Liam smiled lightly as he placed his hands on the table, gripping it tightly. He released a breath, "Mr Hills, you should speak to your kids." He said."What is wrong?""Alexandra is in jail right now because your daughter sent tips to the police about a smuggling activity she orchestrated. I'll give Stella three hours to get her out. If she doesn't, your family would have to bank on something else than SH Apparels." He warned."It's not up to this, Liam." Mr Hills said but Liam straightened his back, adjusting his suit."I'm banking a lot to get the woman I love out of prison. You aren't the one who would tell me what it's gonna be up to." He smirked."And besides, it seems your kids have soiled their hands a lot, no?" He cocked his

    “It's just to help the dignity of Velvet Vixen. As the second highest shareholder, I would stand up and save the company.” Liam gritted his teeth hardly as he hit his hand on the glass table in his office, gripping it tight till his knuckles bled. Ryder was an idiot motherfvcker. How could he do this to Alexandra? A shareholder? When did that start? How would Alexa feel after watching this? She was loosing everything. It was so meticulously planned,….Liam gasped lightly, “It was you, Ryder. You and Stella” Had they always worked together? Or had it been recently? Would anyone have known about that? He needed to get to Alexa as soon as possible. When all of her things were crumbling he knew how easy she could be. She might cry if she sees the news.He walked downstairs and into the parking lot.

    "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.

    The dark glow of light in the hall made Alexa feel warm the moment she stepped in a stunning red. Her dress caught the attention of many, forcing them to spin their heads when they saw her. She smiled, knowing the impact she would make. Besides have fun right now, it could also be easier if she could get some connection. The reason for the party was to get connects actually and she was determined to make the best use of that.“We are the only one without dates.” Doreen whispered to her.“Yeah and that's what make heads spin more. The two beautiful ladies without dates tonight.” Alexa clinked her glass with Doreen, making the other lady give an amusing smile. Alexa was really in top of the cloud this time.Her eyes scanned through the crowd and suddenly, the spot light shined briefly on it, illuminating her better for everyone to see. Her eyes met Liam's. He was sitting down calmly, somewhere opposite her, a drink in his hand. He seemed to be shocked finding her here because he had no

    Her heels resounded as she walked into the bubbling hall and everyone turned as she got in, Doreen behind her. The girl had bags under her eyes which make-up had failed to cover while Alexa had feiry red lipstick on, something that warned everyone possible to stay clear of her. It was a warning, especially to the guy who came forward to check up on her in front of the press.“Alexandra…” he called softly as he pulled her into a tight hug, “I'm so sorry for what happened last night.” Alexandra smiled, softly as she hugged him tight, “Ryder, get your fvcking hands away from me.” She muttered in his eyes and he smiled, moving backwards politely.“I wanted to help her company from going under. Shares were plummeting, so I thought it would be wise to put it under my company and stabilize it.” He said and Alexandra smiled.“You thought you were doing a wonderful job, weren't you?” She asked, knowing the press was getting all of their conversations. Ryder nodded with a cocky smile and she g

  • HIS BROKEN PROMISE    Finding out

    Alexandra's eyes opened slowly, her head banging as it did. A duvet was laid over her, the soft material almost making her groan. Where was she? She looked around the house, it felt overly familiar. She blinked, it was her room. The room she shared with Liam few years back. Why was she here? She got up from the bed. Last thing she remembered, was falling in the prison when Liam confessed the truth to her. She blinked, he had been threatened with her life? By who? Who would want their divorce so bad? Stella? But she wasn't sure Stella could do all those threatening? Unless Ryder had been helping her at that moment too.She walked towards the drawer, her hands slightly touching the drawers, it was so clean. Evidence Liam lived here. She walked into the walk-in wardrobe, staring in shock. All of her things were intact. She was sure during those five years she left, Stella had been here. How had he kept all of her things safe? Something hit the ground lightly beside her and she turned t
