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
"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
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
"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
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
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
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
"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
He led her to the bed, his hands guiding as they kiss deepened, his hands exploring her body. She squirmed under his touch, her breath coming in short gasps. Liam moved down her body, his tongue tracing a path from her neck to her navel. She moaned, her hands fisting the sheets.His mouth found her neck, his teeth nipping at her soft skin as he trailed kisses down to her collarbone.She moaned softly, her head falling back to grant him better access. He got rid of her bikini, freeing her breasts, his mouth capturing one nipple, his tongue flicking against it. She arched against him, her fingers tangling in his hair. It was just like before and she couldn't still get over his intoxication. His teeth grazed her nipple and she let out a groan, arching her back as the sharp pain mixed with pleasure resonated round her body."Fvck, Liam." She muttered, her had turning to the side, when he ran his tongue over it, easing her the name. His hand played with the other, tweaking and pressing it
The iron gate opened and a sigh escaped from his lips as he gave the gate man some cash, dusting his body afterwards.He ran a hand over his hair, exhaling deeply. It was just for a moment, but he was out. It was the thrill. Those folks had something coming for them.The small burner phone rang in his hand and he picked, "I'm out.""We have just three days," He added."The plane is ready." The man on the other end said and he smiled slightly."Hawaii, right?"****Liam's jaw fell open, a gulp involuntarily going down his throat as he stared at Alexandra, her straight hair blowing with the wind.The bikini held her so tight, leaving little of her butts to the public eyes of men who were staring at her. Liam scoffed lightly as he immediately walked to a bench and picked the folded robe he had prepared incase anything like this happened and he was fvcking right.He placed it over her body and she blinked, "What are you doing?" She asked."You can't keep walking around half naked. Can't y
His brows furrowed tightly as he stared at the message again, trying to comprehend its meaning. Who would have sent such?Alexa stirred and he quickly turned off the phone, dropping it as he closed his eyes. Her eyes opened briefly and she raised her head, stretching her hands. She glanced at Liam and smiled a little before picking up her laptop and creating some designs she'd imagined while sleeping.*****"Argh! My leg." Jade screamed as she got down from the plane."What's wrong?" Liam rushed towards her as he swooped her in his arms, making her giggle."They hurt so bad." She muttered."It's jet lag." He told her as he also carried Jace in his arms and started walking to the cars with the both of them.The journey was fast as they got to the destination quickly but it was already so late, so they just quickly had a light dinner and slept off in the large beach house Alexa had rented for a week.Liam's phone beeped at 6am in the morning and he groaned as he turned to check the mes
The light were all turned off when Alexa stepped onto the walkway. Then suddenly, they all came on at once."Arrghhhhhh!!!!!!!" Someone screamed, jumping up. "Alexandra Chapman!!" Another person screamed in excitement, seeing her for the first time in reality. They definitely never expected the CEO of Velvet to mount the walkway herself.Alexa gave a small smile as she walked past them and blew kisses. Seeing her kids among the crowd with Cassidy, she waved and they waved her back.Turning around, the large butterfly dress seemed to wave in the air. The captures became violent. Cameras after cameras flashed lights at her, quickly capturing every of her small movements. Till she walked away, the flashlights accompanied her.****Flashes!News!!Magazines!!!!Alexandra Chapman, mother of two kids with still the perfectly best shape!The fashion designer breaks the world Fashion record with the most beautiful dress seen on screen!Sh should be a model for her dresses. Theh are perfect!
Alexandra walked out of the cafeteria, her bag in her hand as she left. "Oh my God." A gasp escaped from her lips as Liam appeared in front of her. "Didn't you leave?" She asked as she kept on walking."Do you want me to apologize to that guy?" He asked as he followed her pace."I did that already." She replied and he sighed."I'm sorry, I was just comfortable when you leaned towards hm and he leaned towards you....why would he do that?" He suddenly shot, his emotion changing faster than current.Alexa halted to a stop and he unconsciously did too, "Weren't you sorry just now?" She cocked her head, turning to him."I still am." "But you are jealous." She said."I guess you can say both." He nodded his head."And you are angry." She continued and he sighed, "Humans are a rollercoaster of emotions. Different things passes through our body at each times. Don't tell me you think I would smile at that guy?" He raised his hand as did his voice."Then why are you shouting?" She glared at
"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
