Divorce

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 day and she would have strength to move on again.

She was so deep in her sleep and didn't wake up when Liam got into the bed beside her at 3am. Feeling tipsy from the alcohol, he found Alexandra so beautiful as she slept.

"Hey..." He whispered. Her lashes moved for a second and she snuggled more into the thick sheets that covered her.

"Alexa.." Liam's thick voice was heard again, followed by a tap and Alexandra opened her eyes.

"You're back?" She muttered sleepily as she slowly ran her fingers over her eyes.

"Happy birthday." She heard him say and her sleepiness immediately cleared off as she stared at him wide-eyed.

"What?" She gasped in shock.

"Happy birthday, Alexa." Liam said tipsily and she almost smiled, until she realized he was drunk.

"Are you drunk? You should go to..." Her words were interrupted by Liam as he placed his lips on hers, kissing her hungrily.

Alexandra felt shocked by his sudden actions and tried to push him off since she knew he was drunk, but on a second thought she gave up, deciding it wouldn't hurt to have a romantic night with her husband on her birthday.

She returned the kiss passionately, wrapping her hands round his neck as he made her lie down on the bed again.

His impatient hands quickly took off her nightgown and since she was wearing anything underneath, his hands moved towards her br**st immediately.

Alexandra could hear her brain screaming the word 'stop' to her but her body was already conquered by Liam's seductions. The moment he entered into her, her ears lost all connections to her brain.

*~*~*~

Liam woke up the next morning with a banging headache and suddenly started regretting why he drank last night.

He felt Alexa moved beside him and all the memories of last night rushed into his head in a very fast motion, aggravating the headache.

"Fvck!" He muttered, wondering why he had made that mistake of drinking last night and that led to him sleeping with Alexandra.

He got into the bath and took a cold shower bath to clear his head of the dizziness. Closing his eyes, he sighed and rested on the glass wall slowly, brushing his hair backwards with his hands as he remembered the discussion with his lawyer yesterday morning.

Alexandra would be so shocked to hear the news and she would hate him for this. Not that he cared anyway, she could go to h*ll or wherever she wanted.

He dressed up and left the house immediately after bathing, driving to his company.

"Good morning sir." His assistant, Eugene greeted him immediately he walked into the office.

"Did you receive any package from Eric?" Liam asked as he took his seat.

"Yes, sir." Eugene answered and dropped papers on the desk right in front of Liam.

Liam read the papers slowly as a smirk spread on his lips. He took a pen from the pack in his table and signed his name on it.

"I'll like you to get this to Alexandra immediately."

"Madam?" Eugene asked, his eyes caught the heading on the paper and that definitely spelt Divorce Agreement.

*~*~*~

Alexandra opened her eyes as the rays of the sun spread on her face sharply. She looked to her left and was a little bit shocked when she didn't see Liam there. Her body was half covered with the duvet as she got up and checked the bathroom, he wasn't there.

"What did I expect?" She muttered, hitting herself mentally for falling to his cheap tricks last night.

On the table next to the bed, she saw the oral contraceptive which Liam had dropped for her and she scoffed, angrily flushing the tablet into the toilet seat.

"Fvck you, Liam." She muttered angrily.

She heard the doorbell ring and she wore her nightgown immediately, rushing downstairs to open the door. Her expression changed the moment she saw it was Eugene.

"Good morning, Mrs Jordans." He greeted, very politely. She wasn't close to any of Liam's workers. Infact, Eugene was the only one she knew well, she only met the others on very important occasions where her presence was needed to make an impression. Other than that, Liam saw no reason to make her an acquaintance with any of his workers.

"What is it, Eugene?" Alexa asked curtly, she knew Eugene only came when there was something Liam forgot at home or when he needed something from her and couldn't just call her on the phone since he hated hearing her voice.

"The boss asked me to pass this on to you and he said you must sign it." Eugene said, making emphasis on the word 'must.'

"And what is that?" Alexa asjed as the collected the document from him, opening it without hesitation.

Her heart shattered into a million pieces the moment she saw what was inside.

"A divorce?" She asked, with shaky voice. Eugene bit his lips slowly as he had no courage to answer her questions. Thank God the words were boldly written on it, so she shouldn't think she was dreaming.

"Tell Liam I'm not signing this."

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.

    "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

    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

    "Don't tell her what happened. If you do, she'll kill you." Alexa muttered, right before Louisa walked in. "Why did you flop the gala?" She asked immediately. "Flop? I didn't flop it, mom. I just left the avenue." She replied, handing her mother a glass of wine. Louisa stared at her for a while and then dropped the glass on the table. "Exactly. Why'd you leave it? More than half of the people there were waiting to see the face behind Velvet Vixen and you just disappeared like that." She argued further. "I'm pretty sure they are just there for the dress." Alexa muttered as she sipped her wine, glancing at Cassidy with a knowing smile. "Yes. For you and the dress you made. I mean, Doreen did a good job and all that but no one could introduce your perfectly made work as well as you can." Louisa said further. "I agree with you, mom." Cassidy said and Alexa eyed her immediately. "I know, Cassy. You are way smarter than Alexa here." "Mom!!!" Alexa gasped and Cassy smirked at her.

    The next morning, Alexandra woke up with a banging headache. She turned slowly to see Cassidy all sprawled on the bed beside her. She sighed slowly as she got up from the bed, wondering how she and Cassidy got into the room. After washing her face, Alexandra walked to the counter to pick up her phone. "Oh my God. It's 10am." She gasped as she saw the time and rushed out of her room. Jade and Jace were already late for school since a long time."Jace!" She called as she rushed into their room, only to meet the bed empty."Jace?""Jade?" She called out but no response, then her eyes suddenly caught the note on the bed."We weren't late, mommy. We actually called aunt Doreen with your phone and she'll take us to school. So you can rest assured and go on a date with aunt Cassidy." She read out aloud and chuckled."Go on a date with Cassidy? Seriously?" She muttered as she smiled, arranging their bed slowly. She then remembered that they wouldn't have anything to eat at school and she si

    Liam couldn't wrap his fingers around Eugene's statement and he blinked several times as he stared at the photo right in front of him. Alexandra was bending down right beside the two kids with a smile on her face and Liam could tell with every thing in him that those were his kids. Jace looked exactly like him and he could see it."Boss, do you think those are your kids?" Eugene could also see the resemblance but he doubted Alexandra would give birth to those kids without telling him. "Eugene, how old are these kids?" Liam asked, blinking slowly as he ran his fingers over the photo, his eyes glued to them."They'll be five in two months." Eugene said and Liam sighed, fisting his hands slowly."How could Alexandra do this?" He muttered. He had no idea she was pregnant for him and he had divorced her that way without any emotions. How could she keep a secret as huge as this from him? These were his children, he had a right to know them but Alexandra had just taken that away from him.

She muttered."You look really enchanting in that green dress, Cassy." His voice came out think, hard and in a murmur.Cassidy's brows furrowed tightly as she turned around, looking for where he might be, "Aren't you in Greece right now?" She asked. He had told her he would be travelling after she'd invited him for Alexandra's wedding. He wasn't supposed to be here today and she knew it. It was all because his father and Stella had decided to move to Greece and leave New York, he had decided to escort them before coming back to reside here. So....Sam was not supposed to be here right now."I'm right behind you, Cassidy Miles." He said and she spun around, her hair brushing past his face. He ended the call, pocketing his hands as he stared at her."Cassy." He muttered. Her eyes brightened in a smile as she pulled herself rather th

    "We'd still be going to Disney." Alexa said at 9 pm when Jade and Jace were going upstairs to their rooms to sleep. Jade ran back down the stairs and Liam smiled, knowing she was totally excited. Alexandra had called him in the afternoon and had updated him on all the details. He was the one who suggested the travelling to Disney land and he wanted it to fall on their honeymoon. Well, good news was, Alexa simply agreed."Are you serious, mummy?" Jade asked, hands clasped in curiosity, placed underneath her chin. She stared at Alexa, all the believing faith packed in her eyes, hoping it wasn't just a dream."Yeah, Jade. We are going to Disney next two weeks. Your daddy and I are going to get married again.""Aarghghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jade screamed jumping up on her feet with an excited energy. Jace's eyes widened as he stepped down from the stairs and staggered backwards to look at his dad, a small smile on Liam's face."Daddy, is this true? You and mommy are going to get married

    Daisy's mom scoffed lightly and smirked as she got into her car, driving off. She wouldn't dare to exchange words with Alexandra not when that could easily jeopardize Daisy's future with her kids. The kids would sort each other out.Alexa smiled softly at Daisy and looked at the kids, "I didn't't believe you guys could stand up like that and defend your friend. It's really beautiful." She said and Jade smiled at her."Why did you come to school after daddy dropped us?" Jace asked immediately."Your daddy forgot to collect your results for the session. It's being shared to the parents today. Jade, let see how well you will perform." Alexa said. She didn't really have to worry about Jace for the time being because he was a smart head but Jade...."Mommy. You know a lot have been happening these past months. I have been really stressed before my exams so don't get too scared when you see my result. Don't get mad either or angry. Just smile and pat me on the head once if I really failed

    Jace sighed slowly as he walked into his classroom, his bag at his back as he walked in. The noises in the class stopped a little and he directly walked to his seat without even minding anyone beside him."Jace!!" Jade's voice rang in his ears when he'd barely had his seat and he sighed. She had been talking since they got into the car and even when they got to school, he had had to slip away from her so he would get into his class quickly, but here she was again."Jace?" Her face showed through the door as she peeped in. Her eyes brightened when she saw him and smirk curved her lips upwards."Guess what?" She asked loudly and he tilted his head to get a better look so he wouldn't have to get up from his seat."Daisy just transferred. She's not joining us for the new session.""What? How did you find out about that?""She told Alice this morning and Alice told me. She's actually leaving with her mom right now."

    Once at the hospital, they all walked to the doctor's office who ran a fast test on Jace and returned quickly with the results."Is he okay? A fever?" Alexandra was impatient but Liam squeezed her hand giving her comfort for a while, at least, until she heard,"It's more than that." The doctor said and sighed, licking his lips, "I don't know if I should tell you this right now.""Tell us." Liam said quickly, "At least, we have to know to do something quickly.""Jace needs a bone marrow transplant. He has high risk lymphoblastic leukemia." The doctor said and Alexa's hand fell down to her side in shock."Wh-what?" Liam's eyes went wide open."He's just a kid...how...how this is possible?""Sorry to say, but leukemia is usually found in children. We are glad it is a cancer we can fix, so all we need is a donor for the home marrow.""Use me." Liam quickly said."Mr Jordans, you are still healing. Your bones have not healed enough yet."

    The door opened and Alexa stepped in, quickly going to Liam's room first, her eyes going through the small open space in the door.She heard a groan and she almost went it, but she suddenly stopped, her eyes widening. He was taking steps, his hands so tight on the trainer, his face clenched in a tight agonizing frown. It was obvious he was in pain, but he had stood up. It was one thing she hadn't expected. Iren came once a week and when he comes this time, she'll have the best news to give to him.Her mouth released a happy gasp and she immediately placed her palm over it so he wouldn't here her.Liam's eyes moved towards the door but he didn't notice her there, so he kept on going, more groans escaping from his lips. But she saw it, a step and two, then three. He was healing up. Her chest heaved up and down as she moved away from the door, unable to contain her excitement. She quickly opened her door silently and stepped into her room, pushing her face on the pillow as she let out a

Do you think that the wheels are actually for the weak? Even those on wheels can command power!" Miller shot, the sound of his stick hitting the ground wafting into Liam's ears."I'm not one of them ,Dad!" Liam shot, anger evident in his voice. He didn't want to do anything right now till he got himself back. In the past three months, he'd been getting better because of the amount of work he had put in. It had not been easy. At first, he'd been weak on the bed at the hospital, being taken care of like a baby. For the first time since he could remember, Liam couldn't go to the toilet by himself. It was one of the things which made him the weakest the most, having people change him like a child. H
