Saved To Be A Substitute Rivalry
Lillian's POV. “You scoundrel!” I shouted, my heart pounding in fear. “So, you were the one who sent that damn vase and card?”I thought Alexander said the sender had green eyes. It seemed like that delivery person completely deceived him. “Isn't it obvious?” he replied, chuckling darkly. “Didn't you like it? It's quite a good space to keep your ashes when I finally get rid of you. I can't believe you've returned, you bitch!”“Lillian, what is it?” Alexander asked, stepping closer. “Is there a problem?”“Wait,” I whispered to him, gripping my phone tightly. “I have done nothing to you, but since you've decided not to leave me alone, just know that your life is at stake too. I will make sure that Alexander and my father-in-law get rid of you!” I thundered. Alexander reached for the phone and took it from me. “How did you get this number?” Alexander scowled. “Didn't I fucking tell you to leave her alone? Why don't you listen, you damn bastard?”“I think I've been too merciful to an

Lillian's POV. I exhaled sharply, and ignored the text message. We were going to deal with him later. I just had to concentrate on my relationship and the interview I would be having on Wednesday. “Is this good?” Alexander asked, hanging the painting. “I mean the position.” I looked at painting, and a smile brimmed on my lips. I walked over to him, and pressed my lips against his. “You did a good job,” I complimented, smiling softly against his lips. “Thank you for putting so much effort when doing things for me.”“It's my pleasure, love,” he whispered, and was about to kiss me again when my phone rang suddenly. “Who is it?” Alexander asked, his voice cautious. “It's Gianna,” I glanced down at the screen, responding. “Alright,” he replied, stepping back. I answered the call and her voice came through the speaker, “Dear, how are you doing? I hope that bastard hasn't contacted to you,”“I'm fine, Mom,”I replied calmly. “Did you sleep well, last night? You and dad left really lat

Lillian's POV.What was she doing here? Did she follow me, or was this an unfortunate coincidence?"You—" Maureen pressed forward to attack me, but my guards stepped in, blocking her off."Who is she? Do you know her?" Gianna asked, looking baffled."What are you going to say?" Maureen snarled, her voice rising. "Will you tell her more lies, like you've been doing for the past few weeks?""What lies is she talking about?" Gianna asked, glancing at me with visible curiosity. "Let me go!" Maureen snapped at one of the guards, wrenching herself free. "Why don't you tell her the truth, Lillian? Reveal to the poor woman that you are not her daughter."My face paled at her words. It felt as though my world crumbled in that moment."What?" Gianna stuttered, her gaze fixed on me. "Darling, what is she talking about?""She's—" I faltered, my words failing me.How was I supposed to tell this woman I wasn't her daughter? That there might be a possibility I was her daughter's stolen twin? Or so

Lillian's POV.Once we arrived at home, I went straight to the bedroom and locked myself in the restroom. I knew it wasn't the most mature ways to handle things, but I was hurt and angry.I wished I had declined having lunch with her or that she had picked a different place. Although I knew how selfish Gianna was, she still showed me love in her own way. It might have seemed vain, but I enjoyed it."Lillian," Alexander called, knocking on the door. "Don't worry about anything. I'll fabricate a story to my parents, telling them you had a past before you met me. I'll salvage the situation, I promise."There were just going to be more lies. How long was I going to continue this way? Maybe I had to endure everything until I got my revenge and became independent.I wasn't planning to leave Alexander or anything, I just needed to have something to fall back on in case we didn't end up together anymore.I dreaded the thought of being separated from man I loved, but it seemed like all odds w

Lillian's POV."What are you talking about?" I asked, staring at him in astonishment.I distinctly remembered signing those divorce papers. They already had his signature on them or didn't they?"This has to be a joke, right?" I raised my voice."This is not a joke, Miss Lillian," he replied, his expression unchanging. "You never went to a court to finalize the divorce, meaning that it never happened. But Dustin is willing to divorce you if you fulfill his conditions.""You're talking nonsense!" I spat, glaring at him. "Dustin signed those papers and I signed them too. If the divorce was truly null and void, then why didn't he say that when he started harassing me again?"Dustin's friend suddenly stepped closer but my guard warned him to stay where he was. "Lillian, Dustin is a calculating person. He doesn't use all his lifelines at once. He was simply waiting for the right moment to strike," he revealed, a sly smile forming on his lips. "I'm standing as his lawyer and friend, so if

Lillian's POV."Freckles, stop being so agitated," Alexander said softly, his tone soothing. "I understand your concerns, but I'm sure you've truly divorced Dustin.""He's just doing this because I warned him to stay away from you, and he knows the consequences if he doesn't," Alexander added, his words almost lolling me into calmness."Besides, he doesn't have the resources to employ people to kidnap or hurt you anymore. So, he decided to use another strategy that seems more legal and economical," Alexander said, chuckling lightly."This is just a strategy, baby," He burst into laughter. "I'm sure the divorce is invalid. But I guess he believed that we'll get scared and run to him.""You're right," I nodded in agreement. "However, if he wasn't so sure about what he was saying, I don't think he would've involved a lawyer. He might have just come here himself or contacted us directly."Alexander's expression turned thoughtful."You're kind of right," he replied with a sigh. "But, if w

Lillian's POV."Freckles, calm down," Alexander whispered, sensing my uneasiness.He called Dustin back, and the loser answered almost immediately."Yes? Do you want to hear what I need now?""I could care less about what you need," Alexander sneered. "We'll meet in court, and ensure that you sign the divorce papers."He ended the call immediately and set his phone aside. Then, he carefully arranged the documents we had before putting them back where they belonged.He was acting as if my worst fears hadn't just been confirmed."I'm still tied to him!" I spat, my voice sharp with frustration. "I can't believe he pulled such a trick on us.""Lily, everything will be settled soon. Don't fret," Alexander reassured me, walking back to me and pressing a kiss to my hair."Do you want to go out tonight?" Alexander asked, his lips curving into a smile. "The night is still young."I gasped at his words. Was he seriously proposing an outing at a time like this? Was I the only one who saw how ser

Lillian's POV. At that moment, It felt like the end for both of us. We were going to be crushed into our seats and take our last breath.My mind was fixed on the tragedy ahead, but for a split moment, I felt an odd sense of relief. At least we were going to die together. It was a sickening thought but comforting in its way.I closed my eyes tightly, bracing for death, but suddenly, I felt myself jerk upside down and then upright again. A loud splash jolted me, and my eyes snapped open.They widened in horror as I realized our car was sinking into a large, dark body of water. Alexander had managed to avert the crash, but not death.I turned to him in panic. He was unbuckling his seat belt, motioning for me to do the same."Unbuckle yourself!" he urged. I grabbed my seatbelt but for some reason, I was struggling with it. My hands were shaking as the car got more filled with water.I knew I couldn't swim well. I would die the moment I got out of this car.Alexander suddenly moved to me

Saved To Be A Substitute Stalker
Lillian's POV."What is he doing here?" I whispered to myself, my heart pounding. I turned away and walked behind a tree, hiding. I touched my face and realized I wasn't wearing a mask. Quickly, I searched through my bag and pulled out a face mask. I wore it, still wondering what Vincent truly wanted from me. He said that he only helped people. Why was he here now? Did he lie last night? Was he a stalker or something? Slight fear crept into my heart but I shoved it off. Summoning courage, I walked over to him. As I reached him, he was still ringing the bell, not noticing me. "Vincent," I called him and he turned to face me. "Oh, Lillian, I have been knocking on your door for a while now," He stepped closer to me and smiled. "How was your night? I hope you didn't feel too cold. Sorry for not offering you a jacket last night. My chivalry slipped yesterday.""You don't have to apologize, but what are you doing at my apartment? I didn't recall you saying anything about visiting me,
Saved To Be A Substitute Love Interest
Lillian's POV. It seemed like he noticed how uncomfortable I was, so he fell silent.I gulped, holding onto my seat belt. Why was he so eager to see my face? What was his curiosity about me? It wasn't like I was some celebrity.I glanced at him, and his eyes were on me again. Oh goodness! Would he just focus on the road? I was still traumatized by what happened during the accident that day. I didn't want to experience that again.Why was he staring at me so much? Did he have any interest in me? But he hadn't even seen my face, I guessed he was just curious."If you ever find it difficult to catch a ride, please let me know," Vincent said, his voice soft."I don't think I want to inconvenience you again. I can't afford half of the gas used to keep this car running, and I can't afford your time either," I replied firmly. "You shouldn't see it that way. You might not be a chef, but you're my colleague," He said gently."I am, and that's what I want to remain. I don't want to inconvenie
Saved To Be A Substitute Mask
Lillian's POV. "Alex?" I gasped, utterly astounded.Did Alexander go as far as following me here? Why would he do something like this?"No," the voice was completely different from Alexander's. It wasn't him."Oh, I'm sorry," I apologized, my face reddening in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to bump into you.""There's no problem. It didn't seem like you did it on purpose," he muttered.I wondered about expression behind his mask."I'm one of the cooks here. I just resumed," he said, helping me stand straight. He withdrew his hand from my waist and kept it by his side."You're new here?" I asked, before I could stop myself."No, I came late," he clarified, lowering his gaze as if embarrassed. "I don't want to stall you. You can resume your duties.""Okay sir," I nodded, bowing slightly.As I was about to brush past him, he grabbed my arm, stopping me.I was surprised by his sudden grasp, but remained calm."Sorry," he apologized, releasing my arm. "I just wanted to ask your name.""It'

Author's POVAlexander's face filled with shock."A month's time? is this a joke or something?" he exclaimed, springing up from his seat. The chair behind him fell to the floor with a loud thud."What's wrong with marrying in a month's time?" Mrs McQueen asked, surprised by his reaction. "We can hire one of the best and fastest wedding planners and—" Alexander's patience finally snapped, "I'm still trying to cope with the engagement and everything else happening in my life right now. How can you suddenly bring up a wedding date?" "Why are you being so angry and agitated? Three years ago, if we allowed you to marry Jessica a week after your engagement, you would have. What has changed?" "Everything has changed. I don't love her anymore, and I doubt that I could bear spending the rest of my life with her," Alexander couldn't say it out loud, though his heart screamed the truth. "Alexander, I understand that you're overwhelmed by the situation..." "I'm not just overwhelmed. I feel s
Saved To Be A Substitute Wedding Time
Alexander's POV. I dreaded spending another day with her but I had no choice. Our contact was bearable yesterday only because I tried getting some information from her, but today, she annoyed me endlessly."Alex, would you like to watch a movie with me?" she asked, sitting on the couch beside me.As her skin brushed against mine, I instinctively pulled away. "I'm doing something on my phone. I'm not interested in watching a movie right now. Maybe later," I lied, not looking up. "Okay, I'll watch a movie on my own then," she said, letting out a dramatic sigh loud enough for me to hear.As she stood to leave, she suddenly turned back to face me. "I forgot to tell you that my parents and your mom will be coming tonight for dinner," she announced without any warning. "What?" I exclaimed, lifting my gaze in shock."Why are they coming to have dinner with us?" I questioned sharply, unable to hide my fury. "They want to discuss about the engagement and wedding. Since we've sorted out o
Saved To Be A Substitute Struggles
Lillian's POV.I stared down at the money Martin had given me; Alexander had asked him to give it to me because it would take a while to unfreeze the accounts. Slowly, I recalled how Martin told me almost everything that had been happening in the mansion during my absence.His stories sounded a bit exaggerated, but based on what I experienced today, I was sure that they were true. He told me how crazy, manipulative, and controlling Jessica was. He said he felt sorry for Alexander because he was under so much pressure.I felt bad for him too. I couldn't imagine living with a nut job like that woman.Martin narrated, rather passionately, how torn apart Alexander was without me. I was also heartbroken by everything, but what could we do? We were both helpless in this situation.He was unwilling to leave with me, and his parents, along with Jessica's parents would only make our love difficult. Despite how inconvenient things were, we just had to keep living apart.I let out a sad sigh and
Saved To Be A Substitute Investigation
Author's POV.Jessica inhaled sharply and walked to her room. Upon entering, she grabbed her phone from the bed before sinking into it.She swiped a pillow below her head, making herself comfortable as she searched for a good drug that could get Alexander under her control for a while until she achieved her aim.Although she had no desire to be a mother, Jessica was convinced that getting pregnant would mark a turning point in her relationship with Alexander. Alexander always had a soft spot for kids. She would be the center of attraction."Would it be wise to drug him with something that would make him unconscious or something that would make him aroused?" Jessica thought, biting her bottom lip mischievously. "There is no fun in fucking an unconscious body. I think giving him an aphrodisiac would be best."Jessica rubbed her thighs against each other, closing her eyes in imaginary pleasure."This is going to be more exciting than playing the supportive partner," Jessica smirked. "But

Author's POV."I want to get rid of her as much as you do," Gianna said, her tone laced with frustration. "But I can't touch her for now." Jessica's face twisted in anger. Her mother was her only hope in getting rid of Lillian without a trace,but now she seemed hesitant?"What do you mean by that?" Jessica demanded, frowning deeply. "Your father is being suspicious," Gianna replied, her voice wary. "He asked if I knew Lillian or if she could be your twin." "What did you tell him?" Jessica's brows furrowed in concern. "I told him that I didn't understand what was happening, but promised to look into it," Gianna said, letting out a sigh. "I might just make up a lie that she was stolen at birth, but it might backfire and give her an advantage over us," Gianna said her voice laced with worry. Jessica also became worried at her father's curiosity about the situation. She just hoped he would back down and not have anything investigated. "But how am I going to handle her going after A
Saved To Be A Substitute Love Triangle
Author's POV. "How could you do this to her?" Alexander yelled, glancing at Lillian, who was on the couch. Alexander, upon his arrival, saw Lillian lying on the floor, unconscious and pale. He was stunned and baffled by the sight. He carried her into his car, then took her into the mansion. He suspected that it had something to do with Jessica. The current guilty look on her face confirmed his suspicion. "What did you do to her?" Alexander demanded, his rage evident. Jessica was a bit taken aback by how he kept yelling at her. This wasn't the Alexander she knew. This man was completely different, driven by another force, which was not the love for her. "Jessica!" She flinched, wondering the right words to say, in order not to upset him some more. "Jessica, how could you do this? There are bruises all over her body. What is wrong with you?" he queried, wondering how Jessica could be so awful.Jessica did not want to lose face so she yelled back, "How did you know that I did tha
