Her marriage wasn't perfect. Infact, it wasn't anywhere close to being perfect. But she always had hope and tried to make things work. She had expected it to last forever, no matter how bad it was. But her hope came shattering down when he dropped the divorce papers on the table right in front of her. "Sign them." He had said coldly. That was five years ago. Now Alexandra was back, as the CEO of the fast rising clothing and apparels company, Velvet Vixen. This time, she came for revenge on the man who had broken her heart into several unmendable pieces. But she wasn't alone anymore. "Mommy, we saw a man who Jace looks like." She was back with two tiny accomplices in tow. Liam wanted to be the father of his kids and change back to the old times. Would he be able to accomplish his mission of making Alexandra fall in love with him again? Would Alexandra give in to this man who had once broken her heart and all the promises he made to her before? Would Jace and Jade accept their unknown father back?

Chapter 1 1

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 more second, 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 day and she would have strength to move on again.

She was so deep in her sleep and didn't wake up when Liam got into the bed beside her at 3am. Feeling tipsy from the alcohol, he found Alexandra so beautiful as she slept.

"Hey..." He whispered. Her lashes moved for a second and she snuggled more into the thick sheets that covered her.

"Alexa.." Liam's thick voice was heard again, followed by a tap and Alexandra opened her eyes.

"You're back?" She muttered sleepily as she slowly ran her fingers over her eyes.

"Happy birthday." She heard him say and her sleepiness immediately cleared off as she stared at him wide-eyed.

"What?" She gasped in shock.

"Happy birthday, Alexa." Liam said tipsily and she almost smiled, until she realized he was drunk.

"Are you drunk? You should go to..." Her words were interrupted by Liam as he placed his lips on hers, kissing her hungrily.

Alexandra felt shocked by his sudden actions and tried to push him off since she knew he was drunk, but on a second thought she gave up, deciding it wouldn't hurt to have a romantic night with her husband on her birthday.

She returned the kiss passionately, wrapping her hands round his neck as he made her lie down on the bed again.

His impatient hands quickly took off her nightgown and since she was wearing anything underneath, his hands moved towards her br**st immediately.

Alexandra could hear her brain screaming the word 'stop' to her but her body was already conquered by Liam's seductions. The moment he entered into her, her ears lost all connections to her brain.

*~*~*~

Liam woke up the next morning with a banging headache and suddenly started regretting why he drank last night.

He felt Alexa moved beside him and all the memories of last night rushed into his head in a very fast motion, aggravating the headache.

"Fvck!" He muttered, wondering why he had made that mistake of drinking last night and that led to him sleeping with Alexandra.

He got into the bath and took a cold shower bath to clear his head of the dizziness. Closing his eyes, he sighed and rested on the glass wall slowly, brushing his hair backwards with his hands as he remembered the discussion with his lawyer yesterday morning.

Alexandra would be so shocked to hear the news and she would hate him for this. Not that he cared anyway, she could go to h*ll or wherever she wanted.

He dressed up and left the house immediately after bathing, driving to his company.

"Good morning sir." His assistant, Eugene greeted him immediately he walked into the office.

"Did you receive any package from Eric?" Liam asked as he took his seat.

"Yes, sir." Eugene answered and dropped papers on the desk right in front of Liam.

Liam read the papers slowly as a smirk spread on his lips. He took a pen from the pack in his table and signed his name on it.

"I'll like you to get this to Alexandra immediately."

"Madam?" Eugene asked, his eyes caught the heading on the paper and that definitely spelt Divorce Agreement.

*~*~*~

Alexandra opened her eyes as the rays of the sun spread on her face sharply. She looked to her left and was a little bit shocked when she didn't see Liam there. Her body was half covered with the duvet as she got up and checked the bathroom, he wasn't there.

"What did I expect?" She muttered, hitting herself mentally for falling to his cheap tricks last night.

On the table next to the bed, she saw the oral contraceptive which Liam had dropped for her and she scoffed, angrily flushing the tablet into the toilet seat.

"Fvck you, Liam." She muttered angrily.

She heard the doorbell ring and she wore her nightgown immediately, rushing downstairs to open the door. Her expression changed the moment she saw it was Eugene.

"Good morning, Mrs Jordans." He greeted, very politely. She wasn't close to any of Liam's workers. Infact, Eugene was the only one she knew well, she only met the others on very important occasions where her presence was needed to make an impression. Other than that, Liam saw no reason to make her an acquaintance with any of his workers.

"What is it, Eugene?" Alexa asked curtly, she knew Eugene only came when there was something Liam forgot at home or when he needed something from her and couldn't just call her on the phone since he hated hearing her voice.

"The boss asked me to pass this on to you and he said you must sign it." Eugene said, making emphasis on the word 'must.'

"And what is that?" Alexa asjed as the collected the document from him, opening it without hesitation.

Her heart shattered into a million pieces the moment she saw what was inside.

"A divorce?" She asked, with shaky voice. Eugene bit his lips slowly as he had no courage to answer her questions. Thank God the words were boldly written on it, so she shouldn't think she was dreaming.

"Tell Liam I'm not signing this."

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What's worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn't thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect.

He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he's different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
