Saved To Be A Substitute His Fiancee’s Mother
Alexander's POV"Alexander, Jessica may no longer be with us. But I expected you to keep that vow at least for a long time before running into the arms of another woman!" She added, her voice sharp."It's just been three years..." She reminded me. "That's a short time to move on from someone you claimed to dearly love."Her words stung me. She didn't know half of what I had been through. I understood that she was Jessica's mother and must feel hurt by her daughter's demise, but I held the blame for it."I love Jessica," I muttered, turning to her. "Not a day has passed without me longing for her. I still can't accept that she's gone. So don't talk like I have moved on because I haven't.""Oh really?" Her tone was sarcastic. "What about the woman you were with? You had never been seen with any woman until now. So don't pretend like you haven't moved on."I gasped at her words. They were laced with anger and bitterness."Do you expect me to wallow in sadness for the rest of my life?" I

Lillian's POVI let out a huff, feeling frustration boiling inside me as soon as Alexander left. "This was supposed to be a nice night for us, but here we are, sorting out issues!" I gritted my teeth. "It's been a rollercoaster of emotions since yesterday, we deserve some peace."I hadn't felt this irritated in a while. Alexander and I had been through so much these past days. Tonight should have ended on a good note, but those employees had to ruin it. I wondered how he was doing back there. Was he able to convince Jessica's mother to leave?"I hope she's not giving him a hard time," I muttered, feeling a mix of worry and anger. For a moment, I questioned whether my frustration stemmed from the stress we'd been under or the fact that a special moment with Alexander was ruined."Damn it," I sighed, leaning back in my wheelchair.I stayed silent, seething, waiting for Alexander's return. But suddenly, the door creaked open.My gaze snapped in that direction as the door slightly open

Alexander's POV."What?" I exclaimed in shock. "Did she ask you to take another picture of Lillian, or is this just an excuse to avoid accountability.""I'm not trying to avoid accountability," the employee replied, her voice shaky. "She offered me money, and I couldn't resist. She also promised to pay other employees, if I kept quiet about her identity and did the job right." I was stunned. I thought that Mrs. Sinclair had believed my words, but clearly, she hadn't. I couldn't believe she would go to such lengths to uncover Lillian's identity."This is insane," I mouthed, astounded."Why is she so desperate to know who I am?" Lillian asked, her voice laced with confusion. "If she were your mother then I would understand her curiosity, but she's just Jessica's mother. She doesn't have a right to interfere so much in your life."She was right. Yet, Mrs. Sinclair always felt entitled to meddle because she believed I indirectly caused the 'death' of Jessica."Unbelievable," I sighed, fe

Alexander's POV."How can Dustin be a partner of my company?" I spat, wondering if this was a prank."Wait...this must be a joke," I faked a laugh, still in disbelief."Boss, this isn't a joke," Mr Crown said, smiling broadly. "I know that you're shocked by it, but this partnership is real. We are going to gain so much from this."Anger surged through me at his words, and the smile on every one of their faces. It felt like the air conditioner had stopped working, the air growing heated."When did you sign the proposal?" I inquired, fixing my angry gaze on Mr Crown. "Yesterday, sir." Mr. Crown replied."Yesterday!" I exclaimed, incredulous. "When did this company start accepting proposals in such a short time?""Boss, we can explain," Another one of my delegates, Mr. Vincent, said. Rising to his feet, he began, "The proposal was too good to pass up. We couldn't risk losing it." "I'll show it to you," He said, gesturing to the large presentation screen opposite me. He signaled Gwen

Alexander's POV"Conditions?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him."Why do you look so surprised?" He questioned, his smirk grew more sinister. "Oh, I forgot. You weren't the one who signed the contract. You were busy acting as a caregiver... Poor, poor you."My fists clenched in my pockets. For a moment, a sinking feeling crept into my chest. "I'm sure, that these conditions..." I began, rolling my eyes to keep calm. "...aren't as complicated as you attempt to make them. I don't know why you try so hard to feel important."His jaw tightened at my words, and his smirk vanished."How about calling the one who signed our partnership deal...what's his fucking name...uh...Mr Crown.""He'll be here in a few minutes..." I replied, shooting deadly glares at him.He simply nodded, plastering a pompous smile on his face.My hands clenched in my pocket, and I gritted my teeth. I had never had such a strong and intense urge to kill someone as I did while staring at him. "You're lucky that I didn

Alexander's POVI could feel my pulse pounding hard in my ears as I listened to his words."You are out of your mind," I yelled through my clenched teeth. "Get the hell out of my office, you bastard!""Alexander," Dustin chuckled. "At this rate, you're going to have hypertension. Relax and let's talk business calmly.""Lillian isn't an object for exchange or transaction. She's my woman. Get that into your thick skull!" I snarled.I noticed the shift in his expression when I called her 'my woman'."Your woman?" He spat, sneering. "Why are you acting like she's some rare gem you can't let go of? I don't get what you see in her." His voice was irritatingly casual as he continued, "She's not even that beautiful, not talented either. There's nothing unique about her. So, save yourself the trouble and let her go." I let out a dark chuckle this time, “If she is not so talented as you claim, why do you want her back then? You let her go and now you want her back? You only see the worst in p

Lilian's POV. As my eyes fluttered open, I glanced around my room. Two guards stood at the door, and Martin was just stepping out of the restroom. "Good afternoon, Miss Lillian," Martin said, smiling. "Afternoon?" I gasped, surprised to realize that I had been asleep for so long. "Yes, you were sleeping so peacefully. I think the drugs made you sleep for a long time," Martin said, stepping closer to my bed. "Oh, that's true," I nodded, smiling back. "Where is Alexander? Did he go out?" "Yes, he went to the office. He had left some things pending and had to settle them," Martin replied. I felt a sudden pang of sadness, knowing he wouldn't be back for a while. "Oh, that's good," I muttered. "But don't worry, I'm here to keep you company. If you need anything, just let me know," Martin said, softly. "Thank you so much, Martin," I appreciated him. "I guess you want to freshen up. I'll call a nurse to assist—" "No!" I interrupted. "I'll take care of myself, just tak

Lilian's POV.What partnership was he talking about? Was he referring to the marriage contract? I thought Alexander agreed not to tell anyone about it."Err...this isn't Alexander," I revealed."Who is this? Where is Sir Alexander?" He asked, his voice shaky."He went to—" As I was about to reveal Alexander's whereabouts, he walked in.His eyes widened upon seeing me with his phone."Someone named Mr. Crown called you," I said to him.He rushed over to me and snatched the phone from me. I was so stunned at the force he used.It seemed like he noticed my startled gaze because he gave an apologetic look almost immediately."I'm sorry," He whispered, rushing out of the room.I was in disbelief at his reaction. I knew it wasn't right to pick up his calls, but I had no choice."Is he angry with me?" I asked, letting out a sigh.I continued pondering his reaction until he walked back into the room. He seemed less agitated than before."I'm sorry, Lily," He apologized, walking to me.He drop

Lillian's POV."I love you," I whispered against his lips before kissing him deeper.I had forgotten for a second that people were around until the attendant cleared her throat. I broke the kiss and turned to her with an apologetic smile."I'm sorry," I apologized."It's nothing. I'm happy for both of you," she replied with a genuine smile. "So, will you be taking the ring or do you still want to check for more?""No, I love this one," I said, smiling broadly. "It's exactly what I want. It's simple, elegant, and exquisite at the same time. It's my style and what I would be comfortable wearing.""I'm glad that you like it. I also see that it fits, so I guess we are settled," she muttered, extending her hand."Yes, thanks," I sighed, removing the ring and handing it over.She kept it back in the box and packaged it."We also want to purchase wedding rings," Alexander said with a wide smile."That's wonderful," the attendant laughed softly. "Let me keep this aside and show you a few mor

Lillian's POV. "What?" Alexander gasped, grabbing the note from me. "That's not what he told me."He glanced over the note and shook his head."He lied to me.""Are you sure he wasn't the sender?" I asked, fear gripping me."I don't know...I fucking let him inside," Alexander sneered, his voice thick with regret."That doesn't mean anything. Did you catch him looking around, or did he get close to any of your properties?" I asked."No, he didn't," Alexander sighed. "I guess I have been tricked. He might have just given the wrong description to confuse me.""Did you just let him go?" I asked, my heart racing."No, I had him followed. I also have some of his details including his picture, to trace him wherever he runs to," Alexander replied, exhaling sharply."Then I guess we've got nothing to worry about," I said, letting out a sigh.I might have read the most awful words ever, but I wasnt going to let it to ruin our plans. We had given enough time to our problems, it was time to enjo

I pressed, searching his face. "You look pale again," I added, reaching for him."Nothing," Alexander stuttered, shaking his head. "It's just a—""Alex, don't hide anything from me," I said, my tone pleading. "We've been having so many issues in our relationship because we've hidden things from each other. Let's not do that again, please..."I watched him swallow a lump in his throat, and lower his gaze."I didn't mean to hide anything from you," He said with a sigh. "It's just that I didn't want to bother you.""You aren't bothering me," I said with a soft smile. I held his face gently and whispered, "You're my husband, and you can share your troubles with me. I'll do the same too."His expression softened at my words."I received an envelope earlier," Alexander revealed."Envelope? You mean the one that was slip

Alexander's POV. "What did you just say?" I gasped, lifting my head. "A secret ad...admirer?"My mind instantly went to Dustin. I couldn't believe that the bastard refused to relent despite my warning to him, yesterday."Is it Dustin Stone?" I asked the delivery man."Sir, I'm not supposed to reveal the identity of the sender," he replied firmly. "Please sign, so I can leave.""Is the sender Dustin?" I repeated, unrelenting."I don't want to get fired—""How much do you want?" I asked, enticing him. "I'll give you enough to quit this job and live a better life."The delivery man swallowed hard, lowering his gaze for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about my offer."Okay," He agreed with a nod. "Come in," I said, letting him inside. I closed the door behind me and dropped the box on the floor. "Do you know what is inside?" I asked, squinting at the box. "It's a vase," he replied, glancing down at it. "He attached a message to it, stating how beautiful she was and she could put
Saved To Be A Substitute Gift Box
Alexander's POV."What is it?" Lillian asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Is it an invitation or something?"I swallowed the lump in my throat and let out a sharp sigh."It's not an invitation," I replied, trying to mask my nervousness. "It's just Martin telling me my partners were upset that I left the party abruptly and didn't return.""Since we weren't opening the door, he decided to write it out," I added, lying smoothly."I guess that must be my fault...I mean, you not returning to the party," Lillian muttered, her tone laced with guilt. "I'm sorry...""Don't apologize, Freckles," I said softly. "You did nothing wrong."I walked over to where our clothes were scattered and grabbed my pants, slipping the envelope and letter into the pocket discreetly, hoping she wouldn't notice."Are you sure it's just about your partners being upset?" Lillian asked, her voice tinged with concern."Yes." I nodded. "It's just that I have to pacify them, which requires some work. But it's noth
Saved To Be A Substitute Strange Message
Alexander's POV."Who could that be?" I frowned, glancing toward the door. "Don't answer it," she whispered, cupping my face and pulling me into a deep kiss. I kissed her back, my hands roaming her body. From her hips to her thighs and then to her curves, I took my time savoring her. My hands slid to her ass, and I teasingly trailed two of my fingers between her cheeks. She trembled beneath me, soft moans spilling from her lips. The knock on the door persisted, but I had no intention of answering it, not without giving her more pleasure first. Slowly, I slid my fingers into her warm cunt, causing her hips to grind against me.She broke the kiss, soft cries escaping her lips at the intrusion. Not wanting whoever was outside to hear her, I silenced her with another kiss, this time deeper and more possessive. My fingers moved inside her, matching the rhythm of her grinding hips. The slick heat around them made me throb with need, and my cock slowly thrust into her, teasing us both.
Saved To Be A Substitute Imperfect Couple
Alexander's POV.I knew at that moment, I had broken through her resolve. Her hands reached for my face, and she kissed me back with the same intensity. I began to wonder if I was taking the right path instead of just having a conversation.I didn't want to act like Dustin who would take advantage of her with every chance he got.I broke the kiss and held her hands on my face."Nothing is going on between Eva and me," I muttered, seizing the opportunity. "Dustin drugged her at the party, so she could help him with his company. I just couldn't leave her in that state."Her expression remained unreadable after my explanation, so I continued."I took to my Mom's house because she was unwilling to pick her up. I'm sorry if it seemed like we were having any interaction," I said with an apologetic tone. "Eva wasn't in her right state of mind.""Also, I forgot about the party, that's why I didn't tell you. Martin reminded me, but I thought you wanted some space, so I didn't call you," I expl

Alexander's POV"Why would you do that?" I asked, feeling a surge of worry and frustration."I'm sorry sir," Martin apologized, his tone dripping with guilt. "She was worried about you. She said you weren't answering her calls." I grunted in frustration, "I put my phone on 'do not disturb' for a few hours. I think she called during that time. Damn it!""My apologies again sir. She was persistent and I felt guilty to see her so worried," Martin explained.My heart hammered in my chest, feeling a pang of guilt. I shouldn't have shut her out like that. Maybe she had just wanted to talk or help me calm down. Now, it seemed like I'd ignored her."But...I didn't see her at the party," I said, trailing off as a horrifying realization struck me."Oh no!" Panic surged as I abruptly pulled over at the side of the road."What is it, sir?" Martin asked, nervously. "Did something happen to Mrs Jessica...I mean Lillian.""I think...she saw us," I muttered through my gritted teeth."Saw you and who
Saved To Be A Substitute You Did What?
Alexander's POVI was shocked to see him here. How did he get in? I never added his name to the list.My gaze remained fixed on both of them, but neither noticed me."Should I interfere or just walk away?" I muttered to myself, contemplating.I didn't feel like intervening in anything that involved Eva. I was already enjoying my evening since she left me alone. But, it wouldn't be fair to leave her with this bastard.I knew Dustin was never up to any good, and the way he was dragging her looked so forceful."Dustin!" I yelled, and he stopped for a moment.He looked at me, narrowing his eyes."Why are you always getting in my way?" He sneered. "Just move along. This isn't any of your business.""How is this not my business?" I snapped, walking hastily toward them. "Let her go now!"Before I could reach them, he released her and she almost fell to the floor. I caught her just in time, but that's when I realized she was drunk."Alexander," She whispered, reaching for my face. "My love, y
