"Are you searching for Jace and Jade?" A young boy suddenly ran towards Alexandra and she nodded immediately."Yes, please. Do you know where they went?" She asked."Sally got injured and they followed her to the hospital," he said, tilting his head as he pointed, "a young tall guy took them. Jace said it was the stranger he told you about the other day. He asked me to tell you this if you came looking for them." "Child, did Jace tell you what hospital?""I reckon it's the nearest one because he said Sally was bleeding a lot." The young boy said and Alexandra nodded, getting up from her squatting position."Thank you, darling." She smiled at him and he nodded, rushing off into his class."Is this how you guys work here?" She turned to the teacher with a annoyed look on her face."You don't pay attention to the kids learning here? My kids just walked away with someone they don't even know." She shot as she walked out of the teacher."I had no idea they followed him out. I'm really sor
"I can't believe he took them for a DNA test, what got into him?" Alexandra shot as she downed another glass of whiskey. It burned in her throat and she groaned lightly."You have to stop drinking now, you've got to go to work tomorrow." Louisa said,. dragging the bottle of whiskey from her front. She sealed it and placed it on the kitchen cabinet, a little bit far from Alexandra's reach."Mom..." Alexandra groaned as she placed her head on the table lightly."Alexandra, Liam has a right to know about his kids. I know he hurt you, but he had to know about his children. They are not only yours but his too.""I can't give my children to him, mom, you don't understand. Liam is not worthy to be a father." Alexa replied."Let the children judge themselves. Did you see how happy Jade was when talking about their father? I understand he did something unreasonable but Alexandra, these children are the ones to decide whether they want their father in their life or not!" Louisa said firmly and
"Babies, I'm going to have dinner with someone. Stay calm, okay. Grandma is going to come later." Alexandra said to Jade and Jace as she walked down the stairs.They were in front of the TV watching a cartoon since it was weekends. Though Alexa and Louisa had fought heavily last night, she couldn't still leave only her children alone so she decided to call her to come stay with the kids.Louisa had answered grumpily and had ended the call. But Alexandra knew, she wouldn't miss a chance to stay with the kids. All she hoped for was that her mother wouldn't try to talk the kids into accepting their father."Mom, are you going to meet daddy?" Jade turned from her position on the chair and Jace followed too. "No, I-""If you are going to meet daddy, then that dress isn't beautiful at all. You look awful." Jade didn't bother to hide her thoughts as she took a handful of popcorn and forced it into her mouth."Jade, stop eating like that." Jace cautioned and she shrugged indifferently."You
"Jade, if you are done, let's go and play somewhere else." Jace said calmly and Jade climbed down from Liam's body and followed Jace."Do you want to eat something?" Liam asked slowly, staring at Alexandra."Are we here on a date? It's absurd seeing the way you rented the whole restaurant." She replied plainly and he pursed his lips."I did that so we'll be able to talk comfortably.""I'm more uncomfortable with only you, Liam." She said plainly and he sighed."That is-""I thought we were here to talk about the children." Alexandra interrupted, folding her hands and resting back on her chair."What are you going to do now that you found out that they are your kids?" She asked."I'm going to stay with them." "Just like that? Did you expect that I would give in to that?" She raised her brows."No, I didn't expect you would do that easily. But Alexandra, Jade and Jace have a father and that is me and I would not neglect my fatherly duties.""Says Liam." She muttered underneath her brea
"Are you okay?" Alexandra's bright face was quickly replaced by a scowl as the man looked at her. "I'm sorry." He seemed to recover himself quickly as he passed her a white hanky from his pocket."I really had no idea you were coming this way," He said, holding up his phone, "I was too engrossed in this.""Then I hope you stop pressing your phone when you are walking anymore." She retorted."Are you annoyed?" He asked calmly and she sighed."You apologized already, so it's fine." She replied in the same manner and he passed her a flashy smile."Anger shouldn't be on that pretty face of yours. I'm so captivated." He said and Alexandra bit her lips."Thanks for the compliment." She said."My name is Ryder...Ryder Welland." He stretched his hand out for a shake and Alexa hesitated for a bit, before stretching out her hand to accept it."I'm Alexa." She replied and he nodded slowly, not letting go of her hand until she dragged it away from his hold."Alexa." He repeated, unfazed by the w
"Oh my, Miss Alexa." Ryder walked in briskly as he engulfed Alexandra in a surprise hug which she quickly pulled away from."Mr Welland!" She called shockingly and Ryder opened his mouth in shock, quickly regaining his composure."I'm really sorry about that. By the way, how is your...." Ryder pointed to his chest area and Alexa quickly understood what he was asking."It's fine. Thankfully, it didn't peel off." She said embarrassingly.Doreen cleared her throat slowly to tell them that she was still in the office and Alexa raised her brow, turning her head towards the door."Go." She mouthed and Doreen nodded, walking outside immediately, she closed the door afterwards."So, have your seat please." She pointed towards the cushion chair as she sat opposite him.Doreen returned again with a two cups of coffee and she placed them in front of Alexandra and Ryder, before leaving them once again."Wow, I can say I really didn't expect this would happen, Miss Alexa. You are the president of
"Mom!" Alexa shot her mom and angry look but Louisa ignored her, going to sit opposite Liam."I'm not having dinner, " Alexandra said as she started going back upstairs."So you are not interested in my food, is that what you are trying to say, Alexa? I'm not that important to you anymore.""Emotional blackmail is not going to work this time. Either Liam leaves or I leave." She said and went upstairs, leaving Liam and her mom down."She hates you a lot," Louisa said as she dished her food and then she stared at Liam, "I don't like you either. You weren't supposed to cheat on my daughter, knowing how much effort she put into your marriage. You had the effrontery to go back to your ex girlfriend who broke your heart and you gave her the heart my daughter fixed. It's hard for you to win Alexa back. Even I don't want that, buy I would not deny you or the kids the opportunity of being together. I just hope you dong leave them like you did before.""I had no idea-""If you were kind to their
"This would look really great on you." Cassidy said as she helped Alexa pick the clothes for dinner. Alexa dragged it away from her hand, throwing it on the bed."I am a designer. I know what'll look good on me without me having to expose my body.""A little part wouldn't hurt." Cassidy shrugged and Alexa shot her a look,"Do you think this is a date?" She asked." A dinner...date!" Emphasis on date as Cassidy rolled her eyes, sitting on the bed, while allowing Alexa pick her cloth by herself. Alexa finally settled with a blue long gown that hugged her body from up to down, with singlet straps at the top and falling arms at the shoulders."This." Alexa said and Cassidy looked at it."It's cool," she said sarcastically and Alexa scoffed, dropping the cloth on the bed as she walked out."I'm helping you with your hair!" Cassidy screamed behind her and she smiled before getting into the kids room."Kids, I'm going out for dinner with a business partner. You have to stay good." She said a
Cassidy sighed as she walked out of the place, her phone ringing right in her hand. She got to a quiet place before she picked up, her voice cheerful,"Hey." 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." Before Jade's words landed completely, she felt the whoosh of air beside
THREE MONTHS LATER"Let's congratulate Alexandra Chapman, the owner of the new Fashion Brand, Nyxoria." The announcer said and Alexandra walked up to the podium, her face a smile as she stood in front of the mic. "Thank you so much." She muttered."I couldn't have done this without you all. My family, I love you all. My friends who have been with me for the past few years, I love you. Liam Jordans, thank you for being right there with me. Jace and Jade, my kids, I'm so glad we all made it through. I won't have made it through without you all." She said and looked at everyone for a while."Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to welcome you to the world of Nyxoria. As we stand here tonight, we walk in a new part of enchantment through jewelry designs. From the details of our necklaces to the intricate designs of even the small cuffs and rings, we would you show you what it means to look heavenly. Nyxoria is not just a brand to be made beautiful, it is something to be experi
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 doctor advised against it."What about me? You
"Congratulations, son. The inauguration would take place on Friday." Miller said with a smile. He laughed excitedly as he ended the call and everyone turned to Liam Jordans."Thank you for putting your trust in me." He said as she got up and gave a little bow in front of them before picking up his rod."You don't care to give us a little explanation or even apologize." "Thank you.....for waiting for me this long. I have made a lot of mistakes and I have really been out of it for a while, making me go crazy. One thing I can say clearly is that the past have been unmerciful but yet, here we are. If.... anyone of you, finds it uncomfortable to work with a man like me going forward, you have no choice but to quit because this time, Liam Jordans returns with full force."UPDATED NEWS!!!!!LIAM JORDANS RETURNS AT THE 97TH BOARD MEETING OF GLAMOUR HOLDINGS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT HE HAS RETURNED FROM THE LAND OF THE DEAD.HAVING OVERCOMED SOMETHING AS HARD AS A BULLET SHOT IN THE SPINE, LIAM
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
"There is chaos, Liam. You have to get back to work as soon as possible. The shareholders are gritty, trying to get the company out of our hands. Liam, you need to get over this quickly.""I'm not going anywhere till I can walk again." Liam said."You can almost do everything except walking. 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
