Alexa's fingers tightened on the steering wheel as Stella's voice resounded in her ears. She had been pregnant. He had gotten her fvcking pregnant and still made her loose the baby just like that.He should have stayed with and made sure she was safe. No. No. He said he was threatened, so he shouldn't have gotten her pregnant in the first place. Liam….she took a deep breath, resting her head. She needed proof. Her phone rang at the side an she turned her head slowly. Talk of the devil.“How did it go?” He asked enthusiastically.“Where are you?” Her voice came out cold.“I'm…..at home.” He seemed to be shocked by the way she spoke. Alexa ended the call immediately and turned the car on, immediately driving towards Liam's house.She was about to ring the doorbell when her eyes went to the pin. It had always been their marriage anniversary date. She wanted to know if it was the same now. Alexa released a light breath and took the motion, punching the numbers in. A click. The door ope
“What are you doing?” Antonia hit Liam on the head and he stirred, his eyes opening slowly. She scoffed loudly, shaking her head as she counted the bottles of drinks on the table where he had slept off. “Six bottles. Do you plan to be drunk when you go for your children's birthday!?” She shot and his eyes widened.“Shit!” He gasped, turning on his phone. There were three missed calls each from his mother and then Cassidy. Alexa didn't call.“Mum, I have to get ready.” He muttered as he rushed up the stairs, hitting his leg on one of them. That didn't stop him till he got to his room.While he was under the shower, he noticed the banging headache that was crazily disturbing him. Shit. He shouldn't have drunk so much last night, but he couldn't hold it. He realized how harmful he'd have been if he didn't drown himself in the drinks.His hands went to his hair, moving it backwards as the water rushed down his body. His heart palpitated fast in his chest. He must find a way to solve this
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
Her words came with finality and without waiting for a reply from Eugene, she threw the papers at him and banged the door close angrily.How could Liam do this to her? How could he?Tears rolled out of her eyes in fast motions as she slid down the door, sitting on the ground finally. She buried her head in her laps and cried painfully, her chest hurting as she did. She knew Liam, he always got whatever he wanted. He had asked for a divorce and she knew he would get it, no matter how she long she tried to resist. But she wasn't going to give up either, she had invested her time, her heart, everything she had into making this relationship work.She even left her business and became a full house wife as he had wanted. She had acted according to every of his wishes. She didn't have any friends, didn't have any job, no one to talk to except her mother and his parents and yet he had the effrontery to do this to her? She wasn't going to accept this divorce no matter what. She was going to
"I won't sign it, Liam." She said."Are you dumb, Alexa? Don't you see there's nothing for us in this marriage? We just keep on tying ourselves in this shackles of misery we call a marriage, Alexa. If you are wise, you'll sign this papers immediately." He said."What's the reason?" She asked as she got up slowly, to face him. She was biting her lips inside to stop herself from shedding tears in front of him.Liam sighed slowly as he pocketed his hands in his suit trousers."I met Stella." He said and at that moment, her world broke down."What?" She gasped, blinking rapidly as tears rushed out of her eyes. Stella was his ex girlfriend who had cheated on him with another guy three years ago. She could remember clearly how Liam felt heartbroken and how she had helped him get over it which led to their relationship.She gasped again as she couldn't believe her ears, though she heard it clearly. The most painful part was that she wasn't asking him what brought about the divorce but he had
"Don't tell me you didn't know that? Didn't you get the symptoms?" Louisa asked and Alexa shook her head slowly, not being able to comprehend the words that flowed out of her mother's mouth.She seemed to forget all her pains and concentrated on this new revelation. It was only until five months ago that she stopped taking contraceptives if she and Liam had sex. When they first got married, they had agreed to not have a child too early, until they were ready. But two years later, Liam still insisted she had to take them. She pretended like she did, but then she didn't take any, instead she flushed them all down the drain without Liam noticing anything.And now...She was pregnant?"Can I see the test results mom?" She asked hurriedly.Louisa's face lit up in a smile as she handed over the test results to Alexa, which she opened and read hurriedly. The papers fell down from her hands as she got to the middle and she stared at her mother in shock."Two?" She muttered and Louisa nodded
Five Years Later It was the largest party of the year, the best among all parties ever.The crowd was massive, even when the party was the for the rich among the rich. The tickets were sold for very high amount but yet over 2000 were sold. A lot of people travelled across the country just to come for the show.The Vixens show was one of a kind to watch and as someone in the fashion industry or a model who wanted to be recognized, you had to be there to look at the lastest fashion of the year.Liam was among one of the many audience, beside him was Stella, now his fiancee."I can't wait to be one of the first persons to purchase the lavender gown." Stella squealed happily. She had almost of the collection of Velvet Vixen's products. Even Liam had a hard time have a collaboration with them. His company's request had been rejected so many times he wondered if the unknown CEO had a grudge against him.His company was one of the top five and a lot of people wou
Alexa felt a familiar scent as she placed her hands on the victim's shoulder."Are you okay?" She asked, looking at him curled up and acting so shocked. She felt him looking up and she bit her lips slowly, praying within her that he wasn't hurt, so she could just get out of here immediately."Alexa?" She heard Liam's familiar voice and she stared at him in shock. It was really him, it was really Liam, her ex husband. She had this gut feeling she would bump into him when she came into the country three days ago, but she didn't expect it would be so soon and definitely not at her gala."Liam." She muttered slowly and immediately retracted her hand, when she saw him getting up."Alexa, you....""I'm so sorry." She muttered as she reached for her purse and removed a card from it, passing it to Liam."You can contact my assistant at any time to pay for the damages." She said curtly."Alexa?" Liam muttered as she gave him the card."If you are not satisfied, you can take it to court. But t

The 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
