Saved To Be A Substitute Strangeness
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 POVMaureen and I stared at each other with her giving me a wicked spooky smile. I felt chills down my spine but then I shook my head, determined not to let her get the last laugh. "Well, I don't think so," I said, curling my lips into a smirk. "Also, I'm not unhappy that you're alive. I want you to be alive, so you can watch everything in your life fall apart.""You may have escaped death, but I'll give you a worse and inescapable fate," I sneered, meaning every word I spoke.They were going to regret everything they had done to me and my father.Maureen suddenly burst into a dark laugh that attracted some attention to her."Oh, you're so funny," She chuckled. "How are you going to give me a fate worse than that, when you're here rotting in a wheelchair?"My hand twitched to give her a hard slap, but I held back. I wasn't going to create a scene in front of so many people, nor was I going to wash our dirty linen there."Don't worry, you'll find out soon," I replied with a

Lillian's POVHow could Alexander be partnered with Dustin? That made no sense. Alexander hated Dustin as much as I did, I could see the rage in his eyes anytime he talked about him."You're such a liar!" I yelled, my voice filled with a venom I'd never thought I possessed. "You're just jealous about my relationship with Alexander, and you're trying so hard to put a wedge between us.""I'm telling you the truth, stupid. He's just using you, like Dustin did!" She snapped."Shut up!" I shouted. "Alexander can't even stand the mention of Dustin, why would he do business with him? And the last time they met, Alexander broke almost every part of him!"Maureen rolled her eyes, scoffing, "That was just a first encounter. Looks like they realized they had common goals and decided to be partners."Every word that escaped her lips, made anger surge through me. I had never had such an urge to silence someone permanently as I did now."What you're saying makes no sense at all!" I retorted, glarin

Lilian's POV"Excuse you?" Alexander frowned, jerking Max's hand off his wrist.Max had heard enough to suspect that Alexander was a bad person. Well, I couldn't say otherwise anymore."If you don't want any trouble, you'll step away from her right now!" Alexander growled, his eyes blazing with anger."Why are you so insistent on taking her away? She doesn't seem uncomfortable with me. Does she?" Max fired back, leaning down to ask softly, "Lillian, have I done anything wrong?""Lillian, what's all this?" Alexander asked, his gaze unreadable, yet questioning."Max hasn't done anything wrong. He's just being nice..." I sniffed, sighing. "He's a member of the knitting group I joined. He's...not a bad person."Alexander's anger flared as he glared at the guards standing by the door. "One of the guards could have assisted you instead of this stranger!" He spat, his gaze cutting back to Max.Their stares locked, neither of them backing down. I could feel the tension growing, and it worried

Alexander's POVHer words stung me deep in my heart. For a moment, it felt like this was just a bad nightmare. I could never imagine her saying such things."What..." I trailed off, swallowing the hard lump in my throat. "Lillian, I don't understand what you're saying.""I know you understood every word. I don't want to stay married to you anymore. Let's end the contract," She insisted, her voice cold."Why are you suddenly asking this?" I asked, my heart wrenching. "Why do you want to break this off? Just this morning, you were happy to spend time with me.""That was this morning. Now, I don't even want to see you. You disgust me!" She spat, her harsh words tearing my heart apart."I...disgust you?" I gasped."Yes, you do." She asserted. "I can't keep pretending like everything is okay when it isn't. I don't want to continue this marital charade anymore." "What is that supposed to mean? Everything has been going well between us. Though we spend little time together these days, we've

Alexander's POVI stepped closer to her bed, and her eyes lingered on me with each move. She was staring at me with such intensity and shock as if I were some expensive candy."Alexander..." She gasped, sitting up. "What are you doing here?""I'm here to talk, and you better respond to whatever questions I have or you'll see the other side of me," I threatened, looking irritatedly at her."What questions do you want to ask? Is it about my presence here?" She asked, a smile etching on her lips. "Or do you want to speak with Dustin?""I thought he might be—""What did you tell Lillian?" I questioned, cutting her off. I didn't care about the nonsense she had to say. All I wanted to know was the lies she fed Lillian."Seriously?" She scoffed, lifting a brow. "You came all the way here to ask that?""I won't repeat myself, Maureen." I snapped."Alright, you don't have to wear such a nasty look and ruin your handsome...face," She smirked.I didn't find any amusement in her words. I just sta

Alexander's POV"Step up?""Yes." I nodded firmly. "You've got to show him that he can't control you or use you to satisfy his desires.""Desires?" She chuckled dryly. "I thought I was enough for him.""Well, clearly you aren't," I said casually, sitting on her bed. "If he truly loved you as he claims, he wouldn't be chasing after another woman, especially one he made you believe wasn't important to him.""So, you're trying to say that Dustin got a partnership with you, brought me to this hospital, and did everything else so he could have Lillian?" She asked, clearly in denial.Her face saddened as I nodded in agreement."Yes. He's done all of this because he's obsessed with Lillian. If you want him to stop using you, then you've got to become an obstacle in his path," I said, feigning a friendly tone.I stood from her bed, "The ball is in your court, Maureen. It truly is.""Either you get your priorities right, and leave Lillian alone, or fight the wrong person and lose the love of y

Lillian's POV.A month later. “How many times are you going to watch that?” Alexander laughed, sitting beside me. “As many times as possible,” I replied, bursting into laughter. I was watching a video of Jessica and her mother confessing everything they had done before disappearing. That was what they had to do, so Alexander wouldn't press charges against them. They knew they had no chance against especially since, Dad, as I called him now, wouldn't be able to help them. Dad had divorced Gianna, and left her with nothing, while he just left a bit of money for Jessica and disowned her. Since he found out that I was his real daughter, he had been more than sweet to me and our relationship had gotten so much better with time. Meanwhile Mrs. McQueen, though kept at arms length, has been so supportive through this pregnancy. She would call me sometimes and give me some tips on how to eat right and stay healthy. Her husband was also remorseful about his harsh judgment but was too bu

Author's POV. Days later, Jessica went to the same hospital that she had been going to for her check up. As she stepped into the building, she touched her face and winced a little in pain. “Fuck,” She cursed. She walked over to an office and slipped in without knocking. In a few hours, she slipped out as if nothing had happened. She touched her face again and there was no pain anymore. This discovery made a smile appear on her lips. As she headed to the parking lot, she pulled out her phone to call her mother. “Hello?” Sha muttered as her mother answered. “How was it?” Her mother asked. “Ma, everything went well,” Jessica smiled, getting into her car. “Are you sure? Is there any pain left? Do you want to go abroad again?’ Mrs Sinclair inquired, her voice tinged with worry.“Ma, I'm trying to get Alexander back and returning to Singapore isn't something I want to do. Why do you give the worse ideas?” Jessica gritted, closing her car door and turning on the engine. “I just gave

Author's POV. Lillian lifted her head from the sink and looked, really looked at Mrs McQueen. She could not understand how a loving gentleman like Alexander had been born by such a bitter mother."What? Why are you staring at me like that?" Mrs McQueen snarled, hands perched on her waist. "I don't know if you know this but Alexander really loves you. He respects you too as his mother but I don't think you love or respect anyone but yourself. You are trying to ruin his happiness with your own hands," Lillian said. "What happiness? Do you think life with someone like you is happiness? Alexander will be miserable if he gets married to you and he will regret choosing you over me," Mrs McQueen accused. Lillian leaned against the wall, suddenly realizing what the matter was all along."You are jealous. That's it, right? You don't even care about Jessica, not really. You are jealous of how much Alexander loves me and you get afraid everytime he considers my feelings before your own." Lil

He licked the chocolate stain, licking his way to a nipple and curled his tongue around it.My hands went high above my head, and he tossed the empty chocolate wrapper behind him, holding my hands in place. I arched my back, moaning when he sucked on me lavishly."Alex. . .the bed. . .I can't. . ." Even with him holding me up, my knees were beginning to shake. "I got you," he whispered, his hot breath sending chills all over me. He started walking backwards with me attached to him, scattering kisses all over my neck.When he got to the bed, he sat on it, lifting me and placed me across his hips. He didn't break concentration, continuing to tease me while dragging the rest of the teddy down to my waist."My baby is going to have a baby," he said, drawing the leftover chocolate on my chest down to my stomach.

Lillian's POV. In the taxi, I was still thinking about my near encounter with Jessica. She wouldn't know why I was in the hospital but I didn't want her suspecting anything. Too much was at stake for me to be careless."We are here, Miss," the driver informed me and I alighted his taxi after paying him on the app. I sent a text to Alexander to let him know I was home and stretched out on the couch in the living room. Doctor Malcolm said stretching was good for me anyways. He also told me to exercise more and eat more healthy.Alexander called instead of texting back and I was already smiling even before I heard his voice."Hello, darling. How did your appointment go?""It was okay. You really didn't have to call, Alex. I know you are very busy." Yet I was smiling so hard my cheeks were hurting."Don't say that. I can never too busy for my freckles. Have you had something to eat? If not, you can ask the chef to make you something."I glanced at the meal plan chart Doctor Malcolm had

He had been excited when he left the room before but now, he wasn't."Why was the lawyer calling, Alex?" I inquired. He suddenly remembered he was not alone in the room, forcing himself to smile. But I knew him well enough to know that it was not a real smile."It's good news actually but I'll tell you in the car. Let's finish up with Doctor Malcolm first," Alexander replied, keeping me in suspense. "Okay. Sit down then." I still kept my eyes on him, unable to relax when I knew he was hiding something from me."So, Doctor, how soon can she get registered for antenatal classes?" Alex asked and the good doctor laughed at his eagerness."You both just found out that you are expecting a child. Don't be in a hurry to get her registered for anything, Mr McQueen.

He summed it up as them being jealous of him."Dustin, you have a visitor," the warden said, looking down his nose at him. Dustin already knew it was his lawyer and his hope was alive again. He was updated on the official date of his court hearing and reminded to be of good behavior despite being brutalized by inmates.

She tried to stand and missed a step but fell into Alexander's arms."Jesus, Lillian!" He exclaimed, holding on to her tightly. "You are burning up. Come on, let's rinse your mouth."He flushed the toilet first and led her to the sink. She cupped her hands under the running water, rinsed out her mouth and washed her face. She regained some strength and could stand on her own without his help."Baby, you scared the shit out of me. Are you okay now? Do you need anything?""I need. . .I need to sit down." Her legs were weak and she didn't know how long she could keep standing.

She ran to her desk and pushed everything off, anger welling up within her.She flung a notebook at the wall, searching for a way to get rid of her anger."It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair," she kept repeating, tearing her room apart until something gave way within her. Anger turned into sadness, disappointment turned to despair and she fell on her knees, shedding tears into her hands."That used to be me. I used to be the only one Alexander had eyes for.
