"They are married?" Someone asked in the crowd and suddenly cameras started flashing from.the background. This was a good day to get a perfect news to water the mouths of the citizens.Liam held Alexa's hand and tried to pull her out with the kids but she pulled her hand away, "Say something.""If you think I'm going to deny the fact that I'm the father of the kids, then get that thought out of your mind.""So should I deny them? Should I?!""Alexandra, how can you think like this, those kids are ours. No matter what the public say about us, I'm not fazed. I will never deny them." He said and Alexandra pursed her lips, with an angry expression on her face."Jace, Jade. Let's go." Alexandra said and the twins nodded as they followed her off the stage. Liam walked behind them."Her...her trophy." The MC said to the lady behind him and she nodded immediately as they rushed after her with the gold trophy.The moment Alexandra and Liam walked out of the building, the paparazzi started full
"Thanks" Alexa said and he nodded, before getting into his car and driving off.Alexa walked into the house and was shocked to meet Louisa sitting in her living room."You should have admitted to the truth." Louisa said."Mom, not tonight.""Not tonight, then when? He might not be your husband but he is the father to the kids.""Liam admitted it,okay? Liam said yes, they were his kids. What else do you want from me?" She shot."I knew this was going to happen when you said you wanted to divorce Liam five years ago.""Mom, what is your problem?!" Alexandra screamed her face reddening as she sniffed and cleaned a stray tear that escaped from her eyes. "It's my life." She suddenly said as calm as she could speak, "And I'm having the worst day as it is. The Liam you want me to get back with is still entangled with his girlfriend. Leave them, okay? I don't want anything to do with him, so...."Louisa scoffed a little and turned the TV off, before picking her bag and walked past Alexandra.
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 d
Her words came with finality and without waiting for a reply from Eugene, she threw the papers at him and banged the door close angrily.How could Liam do this to her? 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. She had acted according to every of his wishes. She didn't have any friends, didn't have any job, no one to talk to except her mother and his parents and yet he had the effrontery to do this to her? She wasn't going to accept this divorce no matter what. She was going to
"I won't sign it, Liam." She said."Are you dumb, Alexa? Don't you see there's nothing for us in this marriage? We just keep on tying ourselves in this shackles of misery we call a marriage, Alexa. If you are wise, you'll sign this papers immediately." He said."What's the reason?" She asked as she got up slowly, to face him. She was biting her lips inside to stop herself from shedding tears in front of him.Liam sighed slowly as he pocketed his hands in his suit trousers."I met Stella." He said and at that moment, her world broke down."What?" She gasped, blinking rapidly as tears rushed out of her eyes. Stella was his ex girlfriend who had cheated on him with another guy three years ago. She could remember clearly how Liam felt heartbroken and how she had helped him get over it which led to their relationship.She gasped again as she couldn't believe her ears, though she heard it clearly. The most painful part was that she wasn't asking him what brought about the divorce but he had
"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
Five Years Later It was the largest party of the year, the best among all parties ever.The crowd was massive, even when the party was the for the rich among the rich. The tickets were sold for very high amount but yet over 2000 were sold. A lot of people travelled across the country just to come for the show.The Vixens show was one of a kind to watch and as someone in the fashion industry or a model who wanted to be recognized, you had to be there to look at the lastest fashion of the year.Liam was among one of the many audience, beside him was Stella, now his fiancee."I can't wait to be one of the first persons to purchase the lavender gown." Stella squealed happily. She had almost of the collection of Velvet Vixen's products. Even Liam had a hard time have a collaboration with them. His company's request had been rejected so many times he wondered if the unknown CEO had a grudge against him.His company was one of the top five and a lot of people wou
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
"Thanks" Alexa said and he nodded, before getting into his car and driving off.Alexa walked into the house and was shocked to meet Louisa sitting in her living room."You should have admitted to the truth." Louisa said."Mom, not tonight.""Not tonight, then when? He might not be your husband but he is the father to the kids.""Liam admitted it,okay? Liam said yes, they were his kids.

Liam walked behind them."Her...her trophy." The MC said to the lady behind him and she nodded immediately as they rushed after her with the gold trophy.The moment Alexandra and Liam walked out of the building, the paparazzi started full
Her hands wrapped around his neck as she pressed closer to him. In that instant, the door opened and Liam pushed her away."What the hell is -" He stopped, his heart beat racing fast as he stepped away from her, turning towards the door.Alexandra stood there, looking at him. Her eyes? He couldn't explain the emotions that filled them as she stared at him and then at Stella."I heard Liam was coming to your place to talk to you about the issues." She said as she stepped towards them."Yeah. He was pleading for me to help you. Pathetic." Stella curled her hair in her eyes, staring at Alexa with a cunning smile."You don't have to do that for me, Stella. If you think I pirated your designs. Feel free to spread the word and also please showcase all of your designs on the screen." Alexa said."So you mean, you are ready to take the blame for stealing?" Stella raised a brow and Alexa shrugged."If there is any blame to take,then yes." She replied."You are going to lose awards and you know
THE AWARDS CEREMONY "The styles are going to be revealed before the dresses are being shown. SH Apparels is trying to restore their images and most of the best will be mine." The voice said at the other end of the phone and Blue sighed, worry occupying every available space on his face."But mom, I thought you said the styles weren't going to be shown again. What the hell is happening?" He asked, his voice higher than normal."Well, Stella thought she could change Mr Jordans mind but it seemed all contracts has been pulled off, compensation has even been made already." She replied, "Since she doesn't want to lose out, showing the new designs for the next section could be something else she could try.""This is fvcked." Blue muttered."What do you mean?" His mother asked."Why did you have to work with SH Apparels of all places." He closed his eyes as he pulled the phone from his ears and hung the call immediately. A shiver ran down his spine as he stared at himself in
Stella walked into his company, her heels clanking on the ground as she took every step."What are you doing here again?" Eugene stood up blocking her before she could get into Liam's office and she pushed him out of the way, immediately, and walked into the office."Hey." She folded her hands as she dropped her bag and stared at him right in the eye."Stella, what the hell are you doing here?" Liam closed the document he was reviewing as he stared at her."The fashion show is just some days away. How are you going to solve the fact that you don't have a designer yet?" She raised her brow."What do you want?""I'm not here as your ex girlfriend, okay? I'm here as the representative of SH Apparels!" She shot, desperation all over her face."I'm sorry, Stella. But whether you are here as a representative or as my ex, it doesn't matter. Point is, I'm not interested in having a conversation with you. I'm cutting all ties with both SH Apparels and you too." He said calmly."Do you know wha
"You tried to scare them?" Alexa raised her brow at Ryder."Of course not. I never even knew they were your kids at that time." Ryder said, "I think she was just being scared of my stature." He smiled."You had a mean look on your face." Jade retorted."No, I didn't. You didn't even give me the chance to talk to you." Ryder was about to pat her hair but she moved backwards immediately, shoving his hand away."Mom, it's late. Let's go in." She said and held Alexa's hand, dragging her into the house."Goodnight." Ryder said just before Alexa got into the house, Jace followed after them, casting a glare on Ryder before he went in."I think your kids hate me." Ryder shook his head."And they don't usually hate people. They are very nice, so if they hate you, it simply means something is wrong somewhere." Liam smirked. Ryder chuckled as he turned to look at Liam."Nothing can possibly be wrong anywhere.""Do you mean to say the kids hate you for no reason?" Liam raised a brow."Exactly wha
Alexa pulled her legs away from his hands and he looked up at her."I don't need your help. I wear whatever I want." She said."It's hurting you.""Aren't you embarrassed by what you are doing? You have a lot of reputation and there are many eyes here." She said and he paused at her words as he got up. He had said these exact words to her seven years ago when they went to a party. She remembered."I...""Leave." She said, fisting her hands.Liam sighed slowly as he turned and left the restaurant, a block hard in his chest. He grunted, dragging his tie from his neck to give him space to breathe. He got into his car and hit his head on the steering, his eyes closed and face tired.He was sorry, really sorry but Alexa was bent on making things hell for him. She had his kids and he wanted her back. He always wanted her back. God knows how many times he searched for her during their five years apart but she had been really good in keeping her identity hidden and now she wants to take his k
"We've gotten the ship, unfortunately, it seems there was a malfunction done by someone on purpose." Johnny said and Alexandra sighed as she closed her eyes. Jace and Jade were correct, something had happened. She felt it was connected to Stella but she couldn't prove it without evidence."Thank you for finding out, Mr Johnny." She said after a while of silence."I'm really sorry for this. This is a problem on our part and we'll love to refund, even if it's half of the payment.""Thank you, Mr Johnny, but both the money and time was the problem. I can see clearly that it is not your fault.""Ma, the goods have arrived." Doreen said and Alexandra nodded."Goodbye, Mr Johnny. Thank you so much for your time." She said and ended the call."Let's go. All hands are to be on deck for the designs, we have to get ready for the Fashion week. It's just a week and some days left." She said as the walked hurriedly to the design room."Blue, do you have the new designs you talked about ready?" She
She explained things to them and Jade nodded her head as she walked down the stairs to the living room. They turned on the lights and they all sat on the sofa."I think I've found another path, mom. I want to become a private investigator." Jade said and Alexa nodded, now she knew Jade wasn't serious.The young girl got down from the chair, her hands folded behind her back as she walked to and fro, before turning to look at Jace."What I you think, Jace? I feel like this sounds and smells fishy." She said."Don't tell me it's because the materials fell into the sea? So you think it smells fishy." Jace said and Jade looked at him, clicking her tongue as she shook her head."How did you become the smartest in you class?" She asked."I was just kidding okay." Jace shot and she shrugged indifferently, "Mom, I don't think there's anything weird in this. Businesses have risks and all that, let's just say this is one of the risks we didn't see coming. But you have to get other materials as
