The Divorce

last update Last Updated: 2024-09-16 17:27:55

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 resist it to the end. This marriage was going to work, it had to work. He had promised her they were going to be together forever. What about the oaths he made on their wedding day? The numerous promises when they were dating? He told her he would never leave her? Then why was he doing this now.

Why was he asking her to divorce him when he knew how pained she would be? When he knew he was taking the only thing that mattered to her in the whole world? Her marriage.

It wasn't going to be easy, he couldn't take her out of the house against her own will. She can't be forced into signing the divorce papers and even when the matter is taken to the court, she would make sure she would win.

She felt hot, her eyes felt dizzy and she had a hard time getting up when she heard the door bell ring again.

"Good morning, Mrs Jordans or should I say Miss Chapman?"

Alexandra raised her brow, wondering who the intruder was and he smiled slowly as he stretched his hand forward for a shake.

"Hi. I'm Eric Willows, Mr Jordan's lawyer."

*~*~*~

"She refused to sign the papers?" Liam was mad when Eugene came back to the office. But he had expected it. He knew she wouldn't give in so easily to the divorce so he had made preparations incase things didn't work out easily.

"Eugene, call Eric and ask him to go to my place. Alexandra has to sign that paper at all costs. I don't care how he would get her to sign it. He just has to do it." He ordered and Eugene nodded, getting his phone immediately.

"Eugene." Liam called again as Eugene was about to call Eric.

"Yes, sir." He replied. He could see the hesitation on Liam's face as he said

"Ask Eric to give her everything she wants as a bonus. Any amount of money she wants to collect." He said. Eugene's eyes widened slowly and he hoped Liam wasn't out of his mind. What if he did that and Liam later said he doesn't remember asking him to say that? He had just gotten this job and had not even spent six months, he didn't want to lose it now.

"Are you sure, sir?" He asked again for clarification.

"Yes. Although she might not accept it." He said and sighed slowly. Eugene wondered why Liam was so down after sending the divorce papers, but he went ahead to call Eric and tell him everything.

*~*~*~

Alexandra walked down the stairs slowly. She had just had her bath and had changed into something better.

She walked towards the living room where Eric was sat patiently, waiting for her to be done with whatever she was doing.

"Would you like a drink, Mr Willows?" She asked just at the last step.

"Are you going to poison me?" The lawyer asked and Alexa smiled a little, taking her seat opposite him.

"I don't have any reason to poison you. The only person I could dream of poisoning right now is Liam, though I wonder if he's going to take it." She stated, her eyes looking blank. Eric assumed she was going to be fine with the divorce after he spoke with her.

"Miss Chapman..." He started.

"Mrs Jordans." Alexandra corrected and he sighed. She was proving to be very stubborn indeed.

"My client has agreed to give you whatever you want. You can ask for anything, all you need is to just sign the papers." He said, trying to convince her.

"Please tell Liam I'm not going to sign this. I'm not going to divorce him." She said adamantly.

"What exactly do you want? I'm sure you know you can't fight Mr Jordans. He has everything in his power to win against you in this." Eric continued.

"I don't care. Liam isn't going to force me to sign the divorce papers no matter what. If he wants that, then let him talk to me himself. If there is nothing else to discuss, please get out of my home." She said, ending the conversation. Eric opened his mouth to talk, but the look she gave him made him get up and walk out of the house calmly.

"She refused." He said on the call as he got into his car.

In less than five minutes, Liam angrily drove into the compound, holding the divorce papers in his hands.

Alexandra was still sitted as she knew he would come home immediately.

Dropping the papers on the table in front of her, he said coldly..

"Sign them!"

    "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

    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."

    "Don't tell her what happened. If you do, she'll kill you." Alexa muttered, right before Louisa walked in. "Why did you flop the gala?" She asked immediately. "Flop? I didn't flop it, mom. I just left the avenue." She replied, handing her mother a glass of wine. Louisa stared at her for a while and then dropped the glass on the table. "Exactly. Why'd you leave it? More than half of the people there were waiting to see the face behind Velvet Vixen and you just disappeared like that." She argued further. "I'm pretty sure they are just there for the dress." Alexa muttered as she sipped her wine, glancing at Cassidy with a knowing smile. "Yes. For you and the dress you made. I mean, Doreen did a good job and all that but no one could introduce your perfectly made work as well as you can." Louisa said further. "I agree with you, mom." Cassidy said and Alexa eyed her immediately. "I know, Cassy. You are way smarter than Alexa here." "Mom!!!" Alexa gasped and Cassy smirked at her.

    The next morning, Alexandra woke up with a banging headache. She turned slowly to see Cassidy all sprawled on the bed beside her. She sighed slowly as she got up from the bed, wondering how she and Cassidy got into the room. After washing her face, Alexandra walked to the counter to pick up her phone. "Oh my God. It's 10am." She gasped as she saw the time and rushed out of her room. Jade and Jace were already late for school since a long time."Jace!" She called as she rushed into their room, only to meet the bed empty."Jace?""Jade?" She called out but no response, then her eyes suddenly caught the note on the bed."We weren't late, mommy. We actually called aunt Doreen with your phone and she'll take us to school. So you can rest assured and go on a date with aunt Cassidy." She read out aloud and chuckled."Go on a date with Cassidy? Seriously?" She muttered as she smiled, arranging their bed slowly. She then remembered that they wouldn't have anything to eat at school and she si

    Liam couldn't wrap his fingers around Eugene's statement and he blinked several times as he stared at the photo right in front of him. Alexandra was bending down right beside the two kids with a smile on her face and Liam could tell with every thing in him that those were his kids. Jace looked exactly like him and he could see it."Boss, do you think those are your kids?" Eugene could also see the resemblance but he doubted Alexandra would give birth to those kids without telling him. "Eugene, how old are these kids?" Liam asked, blinking slowly as he ran his fingers over the photo, his eyes glued to them."They'll be five in two months." Eugene said and Liam sighed, fisting his hands slowly."How could Alexandra do this?" He muttered. He had no idea she was pregnant for him and he had divorced her that way without any emotions. How could she keep a secret as huge as this from him? These were his children, he had a right to know them but Alexandra had just taken that away from him.

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,

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.

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 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."

    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 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.

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
