Lillian's POVI watched as he drove off, his car disappearing in the distance. I thought we would come home and have a few discussions about it or even argue, but the way he left was disturbing. Alexander was never one to leave an issue unresolved. He always liked to talk things out. But this time he didn't just ignore the issue, he completely ignored me. Maybe, I should have spoken to him in the car. I shouldn't have taken his silence for granted. "He's angry with me," I muttered, feeling guilty. How was I going to solve this? Should I tell Martin to chase after his car? Damn! This situation didn't need a road rage. "I should just go inside, he might return later and talk with me," I muttered, letting out a sigh. Upon entering the mansion, I strolled tiredly to the couch, pulling my box with me. Getting to the couch, I sank into it. "Should I call him now?" I whispered to myself, my heart racing. I pulled my phone out of my bag, almost dialing his number. But then, I stoppe
Lillian's POV."What?" I gasped in shock, my heart hammering in my chest.What was Alexander doing with Eva? I wouldn't mind if she was at the party, but she was all over him.As they continued walking towards the car, I quickly slipped away to hide.I peeked, watching as they reached the car. They parted for a moment, and she held his face gently. Alexander didn't seem irritated like he was, in the mansion yesterday. He was calm.Why was he okay with another woman touching him?My heart twisted as she wrapped her hands around him, saying things I couldn't hear."He's not pushing her away," I muttered under my breath. "Why?"Was it because of her, he had been avoiding my calls? Or was it because of my lie that he decided to turn to Eva? She hugged him for minutes, and every moment was like a knife stabbing and twisting my heart.They looked intimate. His hands weren't even in his pockets from the angle I was staring from. He was probably hugging her back.Tears welled in my eyes as a
Lillian's POVMy eyes widened in shock. Did this animal just hug me?Without hesitation, I pushing him away and landed a thunderous slap against his cheek. His face flew sideways, my fingerprints instantly outlining on his face."Don't you ever lay your disgusting hands on me again!" I growled, my eyes blazing with anger.It felt as though a million ants were crawling over skin. I quickly opened my bag and slipped out a tissue to wipe my arms."Gross," I hissed in disdain."Did you just say my touch was gross?" He sneered, his bloodshot eyes staring at me."Yes I did," I yelled, my voice echoing in the parking lot. "And if you ever touch me again, you'll regret it."He suddenly threw his head backward, laughing dryly."Look at little Lily, threatening me because her tiny legs are back and she doesn't have to crawl away.""That's all you've got?" I said, tsking. "Your comeback is as lame as your life now."I stepped closer to him, looking straight in the eyes. He seemed a bit shocked b
Alexander's POVWhen Lillian texted me she that had arrived at my mother's house, I decided to check on her. She seemed fine in her message, but my instinct told me otherwise.Upon arriving at my parents' home, I was met with chaos. I had almost managed to get Lillian out of the situation peacefully until the birth control details were revealed.It wasn't the fact that she was taking preventive measures that upset me, it was the lie. We had talked about having kids and she agreed with me. She gave me false hope.Did she not love me enough to have kids with me? Had I been a bad husband to her or was her love for me not as deep as mine for her?Despite my feelings, I still defended her. I couldn't let Eva and my mother degrade her.As we left my parent's home, the journey back home was painfully silent. Many thoughts ran through my mind, but I didn't voice them since she didn't say anything. I didn't expect an apology, but I wanted an explanation.Realizing she wasn't ready to speak, I
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
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
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."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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
