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.
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
Liam did the last button on his suit and stretched his hand for the mic which was to be attached to his cloth.Eugene with a last look had no idea of that as he stared at the window for a relatively long period.Liam hit his head lightly, "What is wrong with you?" He asked."How can you not be anxious? Everything in me is panicking right now." He came back to himself."If you are nervous, then just keep talking. I won't listen to you though but it's better than being silent and I think you are dead." Liam said and walked out of the office, Eugene trailing behind him. The time was 9:10 right now and he was sure the reporters were already available. Their noise resounded from the last floor and Liam scoffed lightly. The reporters tend to be the only set of people who took others businesses well than theirs. He did the hand button of his suit as he got into the elevator, only for him to get out and walk right into his parents."What are you guys doing here?" He asked, glancing between
"She's down with a cold. We've given her medication and since she's already on a drip, it won't take long before she wakes up." The doctor said and Liam nodded his head, before the doctor left the place.He sat in the hallway for some time, until the whispers of the nurses started and he couldn't take it anymore, so he went into the ward.The second after Liam walked in, Alexa's phone started ringing. It was Ryder."Hello?" He asked with a cold voice and a hard glare, like Ryder would see him. His fingers unconsciously tightened on the phone."Who is this? Liam?" Ryder asked and Liam scoffed."Are you in love with me? It's weird you know my voice." "Not funny." Ryder said plainly, "Where's Alexa? Give her the phone.""Alexa's sleeping.""Why would she be sleeping with you?" Ryder's voice hardened.Liam scoffed, "You really think low of her. You think she'd sleep with anyone.""She's done it once, she can do it again. I don't trust her with you.""You belittle her, Ryder and that's ge
"Why is this...." One of the camera men stuttered, the words unable to come out from his mouth."No.." Doreen shook her head off stage. Alexandra saw her but continued,"I know my kids want a father, but I've been there for them before, and I'll keep on being there for them, with or without Liam's help, so please, whatsoever fantasies you have about us in your head, let them stop now. It's all a joke and if Liam doesn't stop pestering, I swear I'll ruin him.""She already did." Eugene's eyes fell to the tab in front of him. The news was already all over the place and as expected, Liam was the bad guy.Yes. He was actually the bad guy. He did something really despicable five years ago and had really been trying to pay so hard for it. He had been trying to make it up. Would Alexandra ever know....that for a month after she left, Liam couldn't come to work? Would she ever know that he searched all over the earth but she was just too hidden? Would Alexandra ever know that someone was back
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
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..
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."
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
"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
"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.
