Author's POV.

She didn't even know how to react at that moment. She just stood there in disbelief. After a few minutes of being lost in thought, she returned to the dining area.

When she noticed that Alexander and his family were gone, she resumed working , acting as if nothing had happened. Once her shift was over, she went to her locker room and changed.

As she left the restaurant, she stood by the roadside, waiting for a cab.

After a while, a car stopped in front of her and she recognized it to be Vincent's car. When the car's window rolled down, he flashed a smile at her.

"You can enter," He urged.

Lillian recalled what happened and didn't think it would be a good idea to be alone with him again.

"I will find my way. The rain is falling and there is nothing to be afraid of—"

"It's dangerous for a woman to be alone in the street. I know this environment is quite secure, but you shouldn't take unnecessary risk. Please, let me help you," He cut her off gently,

  • Saved To Be A Substitute   Together Again

    Alexander's POV.As I dashed into my room, I paced back and forth, trying to control myself. I wanted to head over to Lillian's apartment right now and ask why that chef was vehemently defending her. I wanted to do that for her, but he came out of nowhere, and the way he acted was angering. Their closeness was disturbing. I shouldn't feel this way because I trust that Lillian will never betray me, but I definitely do not trust that chef. What if he tried to take advantage of her emotional vulnerability? Lillian could be very strong and sometimes weak when she wants to be. I didn't want her to show her weak side to anyone apart from me. My heart broke each time I thought about the way he held her hand and how she didn't even attempt to take her hand out of his grip. I had so many unanswered questions in my head. First, who was the chef? Why was she so comfortable with him? Were they just friends? And more importantly, should I be worried? My mind just kept racing with different t

  • Saved To Be A Substitute   There’s No Us

    Alexander's POV. I took Martin's advice seriously and drove straight to Lillian's apartment. Upon getting there, I stepped out of the car and leaned against it for a while to practice the specific words I had drafted in my mind. I couldn't just go to her and tell her to leave with me without giving her a proper explanation and apology. As my lips mumbled and I memorized what I had to say, I walked to the main door. Reaching there, I rang the doorbell. My heart raced with every moment that passed and almost stopped as Lillian opened the door. At first, she had a smile on her lips, but it faded as if she expected someone else. Was she expecting the chef? Did he bring her home? Some strange thoughts ran through my mind at that moment, but I shook my head slowly as if to push them out. "Alex, what are you doing here?" She asked her expression unreadable. "I'm sorry for coming unannounced. I just want to talk to you—" "About what?" She cut in sharply. "About us,"

    Author's POV.As Lillian slammed the door, her heart sank, but she tried to act like she wasn't shaken by their conversation. She just had to make herself believe she had made the right decision for her safety, sanity and life. Lillian walked over to her couch and curled up. Different thoughts ran through her mind as her eyes stayed glued at the blank television. She had desired for Alexander to suggest an escape long time ago, but now, she didn't want that anymore. Though Lillian hadn't established a stable life, she couldn't leave all this behind. Her new job, adventures and freedom were all important to her. Besides, she knew that if his parents pressured him to return, he would run to them in a heartbeat. Alexander was a good man, and that was one of his weaknesses. He had never cared only about his interests. He always put people's feelings above his. Lillian just had to accept that she had lost him forever and stick with this new life. "Oh God," She let out a sigh, closing

    Author's POV. Alexander was in his room, downing glass upon glass of alcohol. He had been depressed since last night. He was supposed to be at work but the rejection he faced from Lillian yesterday had left him depressed and heartbroken. Things didn't turn out how he expected. Instead, they turned out worse. He wished he could turn back time and probably defend their love harder. But now, he had lost her and there was nothing he could do about it. "I can't believe this is happening to me," Alexander lamented, pouring himself another drink and gulping it down. The hotness that burned through his throat made more tears well in his eyes but he still poured himself more alcohol and drank. He wished that all his pain could go away or rather he could forget everything that was happening to him. As he downed that glass, he quickly reached for the bottle again, but it was empty. Without hesitation, he called one of the maids through the intercom to bring more alcohol for him.In a few m

    Author's POV. With a mischievous smirk, Jessica walked toward Alexander. Meanwhile, Alexander's eyes were fixed on her body. From her nude, fair breasts down to her curvy waist. Deep down, he wasn't interested and wanted to look away, but the urge that was writhing within him forced him to keep his eyes peered on her. Jessica was feeling so happy, because of how he focused on her. She never knew the drug could have such effect. If she did, she would have gotten it sooner instead of wasting her time by playing the perfect girlfriend "Finally, I'm getting what I want. We will sleep with each other and the pregnancy whether fake or not will come in. I'll finally have a strong hold over him and he will never return to that bitch again," she thought, moving forward. "Do you want this?" Jessica teased, twirling her finger around her nipple. She slipped her finger down to her pussy and swiped against it. Her seductive walks and moves were causing Alexander to get more aroused. He cou

    Author's POV. Lillian tried to push him away from her, but the harder she resisted him, the more he pressed his lips against her. It got to a point where she couldn't breathe. She tugged his shirt, trying to make him stop but he didn't. She had no choice but to part her lips for some air. Without hesitation, he seized the opportunity and slipped his tongue into her mouth. He roughly rolled his tongue inside, spreading the taste of alcohol in her mouth. Alexander had never kissed her that way before. She was extremely caught off guard, but found herself succumbing to this new passion. Alexander's hand slipped to her ass, and he kneaded her asscheek in his palm. It was so soft and inviting that it made his cock harder and throb painfully. Alexander trembled slightly at the pain as his body demanded more. He delved his tongue deeper, making Lillian moan in between their lips and relish the kiss, despite the confusion that surged through her. Unable to hold back anymore, he gently

"If I tell Mrs McQueen about what Jessica said, would she agree?" Lillian thought. "No, she wouldn't believe me. A single twisted lie from Jessica and Mrs McQueen would have another reason to hate me," She shook her head. Lillian continued thinking of how to move forward, but nothing came to her mind. Eventually, she gave up and decided to concentrate on work. As she grabbed her uniform and closed her locker, she headed to the dressing room and changed. Her busy night began, but it was more tedious than other days. There were much more customers than before. It felt like their reservations were unending.

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

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

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.
