Chapter 14 Fourteen
"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 her brow, waiting for his question.
"Jace and Jade..." Liam stared at her and her body stiffened, "are they mine?"
Alexandra felt her tongue go dry as she stared at Liam, without backing off, then suddenly she raised her left hand to his face.
"Are you crazy? Don't you see a ring on my finger? How dare you claim to be their father?" She eyed him.
Liam stared at the ring, a gulp rushing down his throat, "Then why do you still bear Alexandra Chapman? You are not married, are you?"
"I never said I was married. All I said was that they have a father, who put a ring in my finger already." She smirked, seeing his face drained of colour, "Goodbye, Mr Jordans." She said and got into her car, bringing it to life.
Within a minute, Alexandra was out of the place, leaving Liam standing there. He turned to look at her car as it sped out of the restaurant.
"I'm getting a DNA test, Alexandra. You won't keep my children away from me." He muttered and got into his car, driving off at the same speed.
He turned into the road leading to Royal High and parked when he got to the parking lot.
Taking fast strides to the classrooms, he waited for the kids where he had seen them yesterday.
"Uncle?" Avery's voice called out as she looked at Liam sitting down patiently.
"Are you here to pick me up or you are here to scold me like the yesterday?" She raised a brow.
"No, Avery. I'm not hear to do that. Where's Jace and Jade?" He asked urgently and she rolled her eyes.
"I knew it. This is why you and dad can never settle and become friends." She muttered.
"Jade didn't come to school today." She replied, "And someone else came to pick Jace already."
"Really?" Liam asked.
"Yes. My driver has arrived so I'll be leaving. Byee." Avery waved at him before rushing towards her driver, who was already waiting for her.

"Gosh, how proud of him!" Cassidy hit her hand on the table in annoyance as she frowned.
"Doesn't he even feel remorse for what he had done? You stood by him during those three years and what? He paid you back with divorce! Running back to the ex that destroyed his life in the first place? And now, forgive him. Of course, that would never happen." She snapped.
Alexandra smiled lightly as she poured a wine from a bottle into Cassidy's cup.
"Enough of Liam, Cassidy." She said calmly and took her seat, opposite Cassidy.
Cassidy's phone vibrated on the table and she stared at the screen, hissing before she turned it off.
"Who's that?" Alexandra peered.
"Just a random guy I got linked up with a month ago and ever since, he's been disturbing me crazily." She rolled her eyes.
"How the hell did he get your number?" Alexa raised her brow and Cassidy pursed her lips.
"I might have given it to him when I was drunk." She said and Alexa scoffed mockingly.
"You shouldn't be drinking in public any longer, Cassidy. It's very bad."
"Says the pot." Cassidy mocked and they chuckled lightly.
"Alexandra, " Cassidy called seriously as she stared at her, "Make sure these kids don't know that Liam is their father. It'll be hard for them." She said and Alexandra sighed.
"I'm torn in between letting them see their father and my own vengeance." She admitted.
"Don't be. " Cassidy held her hands, "Liam doesn't deserve kids like them. He abandoned you, their mother for a stupid lady, what makes you think he wouldn't abandon them if that sly lady also gets pregnant. And he has also been doing fine without you for five years. If he had really loved you, he would have searched for you also. Don't trust him at all." She shook her head.
"You are right, Cassidy." Alexandra agreed.
After the dinner date with Cassidy, she went home, only to find her children tucked into bed already.
Did Doreen put them to sleep? She wondered.
Jade and Jace had refused to separate their rooms until they have grown up. As a result, she let them sleep in one room bit prepared another room already incase one of them wanted to switch at any time.
"My babies." She muttered patting their heads, "Mom is really sorry to do this. But Liam doesn't deserve you. I don't want you to go through the pains I went through, dearies." She kissed their foreheads goodnight and went to sleep in her own room.
Doreen's call woke Alexandra up early the next morning and she immediately picked up as she got up from bed, walking into her kids room.
"Good morning, Doreen." She managed to speak in between the yawns.
"Good morning ma," Doreen's voice was laced with urgency, "There's a lady here causing a fuss. She says she must speak with you and all that."
"Who is she?" Alexandra asked, her interest piqued already.
"Stella Hills, ma'am."
