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
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
“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. Seeing yo
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
"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 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
"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
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
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
