"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. At that time, a car stopped at his front and Stella came out, flaunting her hair and her dress. She seemed to be superly excited but it won't be for long. Not until he crushed her and her fam
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
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
"Liam, what are you doing? He's someone I'm working with." She muttered and his legs halted as he turned to her."What?" At that time, Samantha walked back into the place and Alexa sighed, "That's his girlfriend." She muttered."I didn't know about that. I thought he was...." "We'll talk about this later." She glared at him and wrenched her hand out of his grip, going back to seat. A smile appeared on her face as she stared at Samantha and Liam bit his lips. He had fvcked up.Eugene waved at him to get back to the meeting he'd abruptly left and he did so quickly, pale in embarrassment. However, on getting there, he changed his composure to his perfect Liam Jordans manner.****"Disney world." Jade rushed into the living room with the remote in her hand."Common, Jade. Not that again." Jace groaned in annoyance. He'd been watching Disney for over an hour now and he was getting tired. He just didn't fancy cartoons as much as Jade did.His eyes moved to the dining table and he walked t
Alexa moved backwards to see the completed designs and she bit her lips, photographing it funnily with her hands."How does it look?" She asked."Perfect. You are always the best, Ms Chapman." Doreen gave her a thumbs up. "Other countries won't see this coming." She shook her head staring at the clothes passionately."Yeah." Alexa clapped her hands and turned to Doreen, taking the measurement tape away from her neck, "It took me longer enough to ask but Doreen, how did you get Adele's wedding dress?" She asked and Doreen bit her lips."Spill." Alexa ordered."Well, we didn't have enough time to get a new one and fortunately, Blue was working on a project. He created it.""I knew they were just from gifted hands. When it was reading Velvet Vixen, I was shocked not remembering any design like that." She said."Give the credit to Blue. It would be nice if he wanted to start his own business.""But it would be competitive with yours." Doreen said and Alexa smiled as she fixed the hand of
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Alexa raised her hands, folding it under her bursts as usual.Liam stared at her."You asked me questions, I answered. It was simple." He muttered, his eyes not leaving her, till she felt uncomfortable."Stop staring at me with those eyes." She said, glaring at him."What eyes?" He asked."The eyes you are using now." She raised her fingers to fake poke into his eyes, but he caught him, and she halted in her steps, her eyes widening with an inch."I don't think I could ever look at anyone that way. When they see you, it's hard to look away." He muttered, interlocking his fingers with hers."You....can't do this here. It is National Fashion Department." She muttered, gulping down."What can I do?" He smirked."Anything. Don't even dare to touch me." She hissed and pulled her away, walking away from him quickly."Alex....God, she spoiled this beautiful moment." He muttered."Alexandra!!" He rushed after her quickly. ******"You have nerves coming
Sam pulled over in front of her house and he stared at her. She noticed his engine wasn't turned off, it simply meant he wasn't ready to talk."Thanks." She said disappointedly and opened the door, getting out. She closed the door and walked into the gate of her apartment, closing the gate before she stopped. She heard the revving of his car and then, he was gone. Peeping through the gate, she saw the rear of the car dissappear down the road. He wasn't ready to settle things. Maybe, she could stop trying.*****"Hey." Alexa flopped on the chair in Cassidy's house while she walked around, looking like a ghost."Are you okay?" Alexa frowned."Where are the kids?" She ignored Alexa, taking a pack of popcorn and sitting beside her. She turned the TV."School. They'll be finishing their exams today. I can't wait. The moment the world fashion is over, we are all going to Hawaii." Alexa said excitedly."Are you for real? Hawaii?" Cassidy looked interested and Alexa smirked."I know you want
Blue's face turned to the side, his eyes filled with shock. It took a moment for his brain to register that he just got slapped."Are you crazy?" Alexandra asked, stepping into Stella's front."Get out of my way. He was the one who stole my designs, I should deal with him if you don't want this to get out in public." She raised a brow."You don't have any right," Alexandra said, "to come into my company and act like a mad dog." "A mad dog?" Stella's face got red."You slapped my employee, you should apologize to him." Alexandra demanded."Why would I do that? He stole my designs!" "You don't have any proof, Stella. Until you have a proof, don't walk in here." She said and turned to go to her seat. That was when the woman behind Stella came into view. Blue's eyes widened as he looked at her, "Mum?"Alexandra halted in her tracks, turning back to Stella."What's his mum doing here?" "We can't have two designers who would be having problems with their designs in different company." S
"What....Liam,....what have you done?" Antonia's eyes widened. THE NEXT MORNING Her hands were wrapped around the arm of her bag, her toes twitching in her shoes. Never had she faced a crowd like this. Or no, never had she had to face a crowd like this on the basis of such matters.As the car came to a stop, Alexandra's heartbeat tripled, beating rapidly against her ribcage. Goosebumps appeared all over her body, her head pounding hard."We've arrived." The driver said and Alexandra nodded, too much. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her eyes mentally calculating the number of people who were outside. She had rejected Ryder Welland yesterday, it simply meant she had to do this herself.She let out the breath and opened the door, stepping out. The reporters seemed in a hurry to capture her as cameras flashed without stopping illuminating her beautiful face."Ms Chapman, we found out that you have two children last night. Are they really your kids?" One aske
Cassidy sighed as she cleaned the desk slowly. It was getting really late and she checked her time. A little after 12 pm. She would still get home.She dropped the napkin and scrolled over her contact list, staring at his name. He'd changed it to Sam the other day. She sighed slowly.He hadn't even tried to contact her after that. She had made a mistake by trying to fall for him. Alexa was right. He'd been a stalker, what else couldn't he be? She released a breath. Just how could one family have the kids with the bad characters!?She hissed throwing her phone on the drawer as she stared at herself in the mirror. Why hadn't she gotten over him yet?Few minutes later and she walked out of the shop, closing the door behind her. It was dark out there and she hadn't brought her car. Infact, she'd left it where she drank last night and gotten into a cab. And this morning, she had been so busy to go pick it up.It was an unreasonable time to see a cab but she had to go home and she definitel
They pulled away from each other when it became hard to breathe easily. Their chests heaved up and down in sequence, their lips red and swollen. Liam placed his forehead on hers, his thumb rubbing the side of her face slowly while he stared at her."I love you, Alexa." He muttered.She gulped, nodding her head. He understood. No matter how long it took for her to repeat those words back to him. He would wait.Few minutes later, Liam pushed the wheelchair across the garden while she plucked flowers she loved."They form a beautiful chemistry together, don't you think?" She asked, smiling beautifully. Liam removed one from her fingers and placed it one her hair. "Yeah." He replied, staring at her face, "They form a perfect chemistry with you." He smiled."What was that?" She glared at him, "I'm not 22 anymore." She scoffed.Liam gulped as he looked at her, "But we'll be the same right, even if the ages change, we don't have to change." He muttered."Humans all changes. The ages literal
"She's going to be fine." Liam said, seeing Jade's lips tremble and her face darken. She was about to cry."Granny said she would soon be awake. Even grandpa asked to us to wait, that's she would soon wake up." She said, referring to Miller, Liam's father. He hadn't know his father had been in contact with the kids, but it definitely wasn't the right time to ask, not when they were about to cry."Is mommy going to wake up?" Jace looked at him with eyes filled of unspoken words and Liam knelt down in front of the two kids."I'm sorry for failing to protect Alexandra. But I promise you, kids, your mommy would be fine." He said, his eyes tearing up. He couldn't believe how many times he had cried in a month after saying he was resistant to emotions but h*ll, these three people brought out the truth in him.The kids came closer to him and hugged him tightly and soon after, he felt his shoulders get warm. Jade was crying.He patted her hair slowly while she cried and gave Jace a pat on th
