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
"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.
"I can't eat when my friend is uncomfortable." Cassidy eyed him while she picked her phone and started walking out, but he quickly wrapped his hand around hers tightly, making her halt to her feet."Let me take you there." He said and she twitched the corner of her lips, shrugging lightly,"Fine." She muttered.*****The news of Alexandra and Liam being parents to a certain beautiful twin made the headlines for the day. And suddenly, another nut-cracking news."What the hell is this about?" The remote flew from his hands in annoyance and crashed on the nearby table."Calm down, okay?" Antonia said, shocked by the news herself."Someone is trying to bring Alexandra down, just when she is at the top of her career. While this news about her and Liam is this way, why would another person post this?" Miller asked, as he groaned and sat down again, his left leg tapping the floor rhythmically."Call Liam here right now!" He ordered and stood up, walking to his room.****"Wake up." Cassidy
Alexandra blinked, clearing her throat before turning back, "I didn't ask.""Alexandra, please." He stepped closer to her and she instinctively took a step backwards. He halted in his tracks, his eyes noting they emotions embedded in hers. Her eyes were glassy, fixed on him and he could see how much she was trying to control herself. How much she was determined never to forgive him. Could he...still claw at her heart?"You don't have to explain anything to me. I don't care." She said."I belong to you." He suddenly said and her eyes drew closer to each other, her brows furrowing tight with attention. What was he saying?"Just know that, Alexandra. I admit I made a mistake in the past, but I'll do anything and everything to make you forgive me." He said determinedly."What makes you think I would forgive you?" She shot immediately."I don't know. But I'll never stop...even after doing my best. You...might have no other choice then." He said calmly and her eyes turned fierce immediate
Eugene rushed out of the office at that moment. If Liam kept pestering about the meaning, he might finally say it.He had unintentionally led that lady to buy carnations and give to his boss. A big mistake.That must be Doreen, the popular secretary of Alexandra. Why didn't he recognize her? She had been the face of Velvet Vixen for a long time before Alexandra revealed herself.*Why is that light so bright? I'm a little bit photophobic.* Her words replayed in his head with a slower tone and his lips pressed tight together. Her hand, raising to cover her face from the blinding light and her bright smile."Why are you playing that in slow mo?" He suddenly slapped himself back to reality and walked away from the corridor, shaking his head.***"Aarghghhhhhhhhh!!!" The items from the table landed on the floor with a devastating force. She was enraged. Her lashes blinked uncontrollably, her eyes reddening as she hit the wall many times.The door opened and someone rushed into her room."W
Alexandra opened the door and turned the lights on. Jade and Jace lay on the bed, covered with a really thick duvet, which they had successfully manged to kick away.She walked towards them and covered them properly, placing Jade's head on the pillow. She stirred and Alexandra thought she would wake up, but she didn't. She kissed them on their forehead and muttered sweet some-things before walking out of the room, only to see Cassidy at the other side, waiting for her.She closed the door quietly and walked towards her."We need to have a really good discussion. Come downstairs." Cassidy said and Alexandra pressed her lips against each other, following her to the dining."What did you say to your kids?" Cassidy asked, pouring a cup of wine for both of them and Alexandra sighed."I don't know. I was really mad and....""You shouldn't transfer your aggressions to my babies, Alexandra. That's wrong of you." She interrupted."I know. But Liam was there and all that stuff, plus the news...
Alexandra blinked."Why would you acquire a share of my company?" She asked, the moment she walked into her office, knowing fully well that Ryder would follow her."Why can't I?""This is my company, you can't just do things that way.""I believe shares can be bought and sold without the owner's permission. You are doing everything to keep me out of your life, Alexa." He said, his voice lower than it usually had. Alexandra took a deep breath."This is purely business and not because of personal relationships. You bought shares because you find this company good and not because you like me. That's it, right?" She asked and Ryder stepped closer to her. She didn't move back, her eyes stared into his, waiting for his affirmative response."I can't say that, Alexa. You are only saying that because you don't know what goes on in my mind.""Keep your thoughts to yourself." Alexandra responded and walked to her seat, sitting on it."Why did you let Liam help you while you rejected my help?" H
“What are you doing?” Antonia hit Liam on the head and he stirred, his eyes opening slowly. She scoffed loudly, shaking her head as she counted the bottles of drinks on the table where he had slept off. “Six bottles. Do you plan to be drunk when you go for your children's birthday!?” She shot and his eyes widened.“Shit!” He gasped, turning on his phone. There were three missed calls each from his mother and then Cassidy. Alexa didn't call.“Mum, I have to get ready.” He muttered as he rushed up the stairs, hitting his leg on one of them. That didn't stop him till he got to his room.While he was under the shower, he noticed the banging headache that was crazily disturbing him. Shit. He shouldn't have drunk so much last night, but he couldn't hold it. He realized how harmful he'd have been if he didn't drown himself in the drinks.His hands went to his hair, moving it backwards as the water rushed down his body. His heart palpitated fast in his chest. He must find a way to solve this
Alexa's fingers tightened on the steering wheel as Stella's voice resounded in her ears. She had been pregnant. He had gotten her fvcking pregnant and still made her loose the baby just like that.He should have stayed with and made sure she was safe. No. No. He said he was threatened, so he shouldn't have gotten her pregnant in the first place. Liam….she took a deep breath, resting her head. She needed proof. Her phone rang at the side an she turned her head slowly. Talk of the devil.“How did it go?” He asked enthusiastically.“Where are you?” Her voice came out cold.“I'm…..at home.” He seemed to be shocked by the way she spoke. Alexa ended the call immediately and turned the car on, immediately driving towards Liam's house.She was about to ring the doorbell when her eyes went to the pin. It had always been their marriage anniversary date. She wanted to know if it was the same now. Alexa released a light breath and took the motion, punching the numbers in. A click. The door ope
The car came to a stop in front of Alexa's house and she got down from it. Liam hopped down from the other side, the bag in his head as he walked to her."You forgot this." He muttered. She sighed slowly,"Thanks.....for the drive." She grudgingly said and collected the bag. "Can I ...see the kids for a moment?" He asked."You are making this awkward, Liam. Just go home." She said, walking away. Liam took two steps and covered the gap between them, as he held her hand, dragging her back to himself.Her chest heaved up and down in pure shock as her eyes widened, an emotion to show that she hadn't expected that move."I'm sorry I didn't clarify this right there." He muttered, his own chest heaving fast as well, "What is it?" Her voice came out as a whisper as her eyes locked in his heated focused eyes. She could see herself in his eyes, and a gulp went down her throat slowly."It's you I love. It's you I will ever love. It's you I will love till the day I take my last breath on earth.
"Thank you so much. Thank you." Grace cleaned her tears of joy and Alexa smiled."I'll have to take my leave now. Doreen would discuss everything with you tomorrow.""Actually," Grace stood up with her and looked at them both, "I'll like to go to court over this matter. She was the one who framed you for the incident. Why then can't she take the blame? Besides, she fired me unjustly." She added."And she also took the money meant for bribe." Alexa glanced at Doreen."I'll call you when it is time." She held Grace's hands admirably.Few minutes later, Alexa walked out of the house, Doreen accompanying her."I didn't expect that Grace would want to fight." Doreen said."Me neither." Alexa replied, "but it gets to a point where you get tired of it all and you just want to get over it, whether you win or not, you'll want to trample on those who trampled on you.""Are you at that point?" Doreen asked carefully and Alexa smirked."Yes. I'll like to teach a lot of people lessons and they bet
"Oh." Adele said, "You are the rising star of New York Fashion.""Velvet Vixen topped the charts of best companies, would you say we are still rising?" She asked. Adele kept the card in her bag as she glanced at Alexa cockingly."Well, your company is fluctuating a bit. Not many female CEOs go to prison, have a divorce story and still looses their company to a sly man." Adele said. Alexa ran her tongue over her teeth as she let out a scoff."You really did your search well, didn't you?" She asked."I deal with information on a norm. And back to Liam's attention, if he was seeking for your attention, why would he divorce you?" Alexa's hand tightened on the coffee cup when Liam walked in."Liam is here." Antonia said immediately trying to break the tightening awkwardness in the silence. "Well..." Alexandra stood up calmly, "I only came to see you, mother. I'll be on my way now." She said, getting up."She's your divorced husband's mother. Shouldn't you call her Mrs Jordans by now?" Ad
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
"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
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
"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
