"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
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
"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.
"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.

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
Blue's face turned to the side, his eyes filled with shock. It took a moment for his brain to register that he just got slapped."Are you crazy?" Alexandra asked, stepping into Stella's front."Get out of my way. He was the one who stole my designs, I should deal with him if you don't want this to get out in public." She raised a brow."You don't have any right," Alexandra said, "to come into my company and act like a mad dog." "A mad dog?" Stella's face got red."You slapped my employee, you should apologize to him." Alexandra demanded."Why would I do that? He stole my designs!" "You don't have any proof, Stella. Until you have a proof, don't walk in here." She said and turned to go to her seat. That was when the woman behind Stella came into view. Blue's eyes widened as he looked at her, "Mum?"Alexandra halted in her tracks, turning back to Stella."What's his mum doing here?" "We can't have two designers who would be having problems with their designs in different company." S
"What....Liam,....what have you done?" Antonia's eyes widened. THE NEXT MORNING Her hands were wrapped around the arm of her bag, her toes twitching in her shoes. Never had she faced a crowd like this. Or no, never had she had to face a crowd like this on the basis of such matters.As the car came to a stop, Alexandra's heartbeat tripled, beating rapidly against her ribcage. Goosebumps appeared all over her body, her head pounding hard."We've arrived." The driver said and Alexandra nodded, too much. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her eyes mentally calculating the number of people who were outside. She had rejected Ryder Welland yesterday, it simply meant she had to do this herself.She let out the breath and opened the door, stepping out. The reporters seemed in a hurry to capture her as cameras flashed without stopping illuminating her beautiful face."Ms Chapman, we found out that you have two children last night. Are they really your kids?" One aske
Cassidy sighed as she cleaned the desk slowly. It was getting really late and she checked her time. A little after 12 pm. She would still get home.She dropped the napkin and scrolled over her contact list, staring at his name. He'd changed it to Sam the other day. She sighed slowly.He hadn't even tried to contact her after that. She had made a mistake by trying to fall for him. Alexa was right. He'd been a stalker, what else couldn't he be? She released a breath. Just how could one family have the kids with the bad characters!?She hissed throwing her phone on the drawer as she stared at herself in the mirror. Why hadn't she gotten over him yet?Few minutes later and she walked out of the shop, closing the door behind her. It was dark out there and she hadn't brought her car. Infact, she'd left it where she drank last night and gotten into a cab. And this morning, she had been so busy to go pick it up.It was an unreasonable time to see a cab but she had to go home and she definitel
They pulled away from each other when it became hard to breathe easily. Their chests heaved up and down in sequence, their lips red and swollen. Liam placed his forehead on hers, his thumb rubbing the side of her face slowly while he stared at her."I love you, Alexa." He muttered.She gulped, nodding her head. He understood. No matter how long it took for her to repeat those words back to him. He would wait.Few minutes later, Liam pushed the wheelchair across the garden while she plucked flowers she loved."They form a beautiful chemistry together, don't you think?" She asked, smiling beautifully. Liam removed one from her fingers and placed it one her hair. "Yeah." He replied, staring at her face, "They form a perfect chemistry with you." He smiled."What was that?" She glared at him, "I'm not 22 anymore." She scoffed.Liam gulped as he looked at her, "But we'll be the same right, even if the ages change, we don't have to change." He muttered."Humans all changes. The ages literal
"She's going to be fine." Liam said, seeing Jade's lips tremble and her face darken. She was about to cry."Granny said she would soon be awake. Even grandpa asked to us to wait, that's she would soon wake up." She said, referring to Miller, Liam's father. He hadn't know his father had been in contact with the kids, but it definitely wasn't the right time to ask, not when they were about to cry."Is mommy going to wake up?" Jace looked at him with eyes filled of unspoken words and Liam knelt down in front of the two kids."I'm sorry for failing to protect Alexandra. But I promise you, kids, your mommy would be fine." He said, his eyes tearing up. He couldn't believe how many times he had cried in a month after saying he was resistant to emotions but h*ll, these three people brought out the truth in him.The kids came closer to him and hugged him tightly and soon after, he felt his shoulders get warm. Jade was crying.He patted her hair slowly while she cried and gave Jace a pat on th
