Doreen walked towards Alexandra who was fixed on a piece of clothing for almost an hour, she had been creating different designs of dresses and her eyes and hands were hurting already. But she was doing it to take her mind off Liam, Doreen had told her that he wanted a dinner meeting and even though she refused, she couldn't deny that it was getting into her thoughts and disturbing her greatly. But Liam wasn't worth thinking about and she was going to channel all that energy for a new world breaking piece."Ma'am, its almost 3pm." Doreen said and Alexa turned."3pm?" She asked, her eyes widening as she immediately unrolled her sleeve, wearing her shoes. Her children would have closed about an hour ago and would be waiting for her. She wasn't paying attention to them lately and was beating herself mentally for that. Even though she knew she was tired and so stressed out, she wasn't ready to take a break."I'll see you tomorrow, Doreen." She said as she picked her handbag and her phone,
"What?" Liam blurted out shocked by his sudden outburst."Isn't Alice your niece? I heard her call you uncle very clearly. Aren't you here to pick her up?" Jace asked, his brown eyes piercing Liam's own as he folded his small hands, standing in front of his sister. Jade also looked at Liam as if supporting her brother's question."Actually, her driver's going to pick her up." Liam chuckled nervously as he rubbed his hands together."Why would her driver pick her up when her uncle's here? Is that how much you hate your niece? I'm suddenly glad I don't have an uncle, what about you, Jade?" Jace asked."Me too." Jade shrugged, supporting her brother's words."No, it's not that I hate my niece. She won't let me drive her home anyway. And I wasn't even here for to see her." Liam tried to explain."You weren't even here for her? She wouldn't let you drive her home?" Jace asked unbelievably."But you didn't even make an attempt." Jade pointed out."Right, Sally? If your uncle came to your sc
Liam drove into his compound directly and walked into his house, where Eric was seated calmly waiting for him. He was still Liam's lawyer even after a long time."Good evening, Mr Jordans." He greeted, still professionally."Eric, please." Liam said and Eric laughed slowly as Liam took his seat opposite him."There's something I need to confirm urgently, Eric." Liam said without wasting time and explained the whole scenario to Eric. Eric looked shocked for a long time after listening to every single word."Do you mean to say that Alexa has two kids for you?" He asked after everything."Yes, Eric. I can't believe she didn't let me know about my kids." Liam muttered slowly."So what are you planning to do right now?" Eric asked."What else? Of course, I want to be able take care of my children." Liam said quickly and Eric sighed."I'm afraid that might not be possible. Have you tried talking to Alexandra yet? If she agrees, then it's all good. If she doesn't, you can't take the children
After spending a lot of time with Antonia, Alexa remembered it was almost time for the meeting with Liam and she suddenly felt bad again. She was chatting so freely with his mother but was going to be so cold to him. He deserved it though, a jerk like him doesn't even have the right to talk to her. She took Jade to her office first and instructed Doreen to take her home after picking Jace from school, also promising to give her a little extra tip."Okay, are you ready to go meet Liam?" Cassidy asked on the phone as Alexa prepared to go downstairs."Yeah." Alexa muttered with a sigh."Alexa, make sure to make him feel a lot of regret for loosing you. You have to dress provocatively, okay?""Why do I have to put in effort because I'm going to see Liam?" Alexa asked as she applied her nude lipstick and smacked her lips together lightly."Why do I have to put in effort because I'm going to see Liam?" Cassidy mimicked funnily and laughed."Then why are you applying more lipstick?" She ask
"I'm done with the meeting, Doreen." Alexa said on the phone as she was about to get into the car."Did you sign the proposal?" Doreen asked excitedly on the other side."I didn't. So please don't force me to do anymore of these things. Also, stop getting in contact with Mr Jordans." She said."Okay ma." Doreen sighed slowly and Alexa ended the call. She knew Doreen felt sad about the fact that she wasn't going to accept the contract since it was a very large deal but truthfully, Alexa wanted to show Liam that she could be everything she wanted without his damn help and intervention.She opened the door and was about to get in when Liam suddenly held it tight, stopping her. "Alexandra, please....please listen to me." He begged and she scoffed, to look at him coldly."Mr Jordans, don't you think you are being disrespectful?" She shook her head, folding her arms."I know. I might be really getting on your nerves, Alexandra but I really have to know something." He breathed. She raised h
Alexandra blinked slowly, "Stella Hills?"That was her husband's....no, Liam's fiancee. She scoffed lightly as she held the phone tightly."What exactly does she wants?" She asked."She refuses to tell us and just demands for your attention." Doreen said, her voice laced with frustration and Alexandra took a deep breath."Tell her I'll be there.""Are you sure about that?" Doreen asked, unbelievably. Alexandra has always refused to show herself to others in the business world. Would she really break that rule for this frustrating woman?"Yes, Doreen. I'll be there." Alexandra replied before ending the call.She took another hour to get the children ready and take them to school, before going to her favorite coffee shop for a cup of coffee."Madam?" She heard the familiar voice and she turned. As expected, Eugene."Eugene?" She gave a small smile as Eugene gasped and covered his mouth to hide his shock and surprise. He didn't know he'll meet her as quick as this and definitely not here
Stella scoffed the moment the name Alexandra left his lips."Alexandra?" She muttered, rolling her eyes as she turned out of the office angrily."I'm really sorry about this," Liam apologized."Don't be sorry to me, Liam. Just make sure that stupid girlfriend of yours doesn't come to my office anymore," she shot."I'm really sorry about that ..""You can also leave," she directed her hand towards the door with a smile on her face and Liam sighed, before walking out."I'm sorry," he apologized again at the door and finally left."Ma'am," Doreen walked into the office and stood in front of Alexa's table, "I'm really sorry about this ma'am. I tried to make her leave but she wasn't listening to me," she apologized with a frustrated face."Don't worry about it, Doreen. Next time she comes, just call the securities," Alexandra smiled and she nodded."You are five minutes late for the meeting," Doreen informed and Alexandra gasped, "I totally forgot," she muttered and immediately picked her
Alexandra rushed out of the company, barely keeping her gaze straight as she got into her car with shaky hands. She was the problem, she was seriously the problem. She had paid no attention to the kids. If she had and she had gone earlier to wait for them even before they closed, no one would be able to steal her kids."Cassidy, Cassidy, please come meet me at Royal High." Her voice resonated in her own ears, mirroring the shaky one that had left her lips.She pressed on the accelerator, swerving out of the parking lot as she drove straight to the kids school."Doreen." She called the moment she got to where she was."Ma?" Doreen turned to look at her, she was currently talking with one of the teachers that worked at the school."Found them yet?" She asked and Doreen shook her head slowly, "I haven't, ma.""Come on, spread out, they have to be somewhere in the school. Let's look for them quickly." Alexandra said.**...**Jade walked out from her class again, with Sally beside her, gig
"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
