Saved To Be A Substitute Wicked Smile
Alexander's POV"You didn't tell me you were an expert in women's makeup," Lilian teased, glancing at herself on her phone screen.Earlier, I had helped her prepare for the drama that was about to unfold."Well, I'll do anything to make you happy," I replied with a smile."Thank you," She said warmly, leaning in to press her lips against my cheek. "You're the sweetest ever."She moved to kiss my cheek again, but I turned at the last second, and our lips met. Her face turned red as she pulled back."You're so naughty," She giggled, then leaned in again.As our lips met this time, I wrapped my hands around her waist, deepening the kiss. I couldn't resist tasting her sweetness, so I nibbled on her lower lip. Her lips parted slightly, inviting me to explore further. I slipped my tongue into her mouth, closing my eyes and savoring the moment. She tasted like chocolate, so sweet and perfect. With every second, I felt like I was intoxicated as if I were in paradise."You're so delicious," I

Alexander's POV"He's lying about me. I have never been involved in any fraudulent activity," Dustin spat, fury lacing his voice. "We are partners. I don't know why he's pulling this charade!" "I cannot defame anyone," I said into the microphone, my voice firm and calm. "I'm simply stating facts for others to be careful because I'm certain you'll target more victims." Murmurs filled the crowd as I glanced at Dustin with a smug smile. "And frankly, I think you're being delusional," I continue taunting him. "We've never been partners. I hope you aren't under the influence of any substances, Mr. Stone." "You scoundrel!!!" He growled, trying to rush forward."He's probably on drugs," someone whispered from the crowd"How did such a reputable company owner end up in this mess?""He must have been faking it all along," another murmured. Whispers filled the hall and I savored the confused and terrified looks that clouded Dustin's expression."None of this is true! Everyone, believe me.

Alexander's POV"Take him away!" I shouted, watching as the guards dragged him out of the parking lot."He just tried to kill us," Lillian said, her voice trembling. "Why was he still around the building? I thought he was kicked out.""Are you okay?" She asked, taking her hands around my body.She looked so agitated, her face pale and her lips quivering."Freckles, I'm fine," I whispered, holding her hands gently. "We are both fine. He didn't succeed in doing anything to us.""Okay," She sighed, but her bothered expression remained. "Are you sure you're alright?"The immense concern she was showing made me feel a rush of warmth."I'm fine," I asserted, smiling warmly. "Don't worry about me.""Alright, let's go to the hospital. I don't want to stay here any longer," Lillian said, her voice shaky."Let's go," I agreed, holding her wheelchair and wheeling her to the car.I helped her inside and went to keep the wheelchair in the trunk.

Alexander's POV"Mom!" I exclaimed in shock. I hadn't expected her to speak that way about Jessica."Mom, why would you say that?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly. "I don't mean to sound dismissive, but that girl could be dead. It's pointless holding onto something that's gone," Mom said, her tone softening. "I just want what's best for you. I love you very much, Alex, and you can't truly be happy if you keep hoping—""Mom, enough!" I snapped, sharper than I intended. "You shouldn't talk about Jessica like that. She's not dead. She'll always have a place in my heart.""Alex, you wouldn't feel this way, if you had listened to me from the start," Mom countered, her voice tinged with sadness. "I never liked her, and you knew that. She always tried to control you in one way or the other. She almost alienated you from us.""Mom, that's not true," I argued, shaking my head in frustration. "We were simply planning our future until that unfortunate incident occurred."I wasn't surprised

"Please help me with my walking aid.""Sure," He replied, grabbing it for me and helping me to my feet. "Are you alright?""Yes, thank you," I nodded, smiling softly.I had been avoiding him since his encounter with his mother, but knowing he was always here for me when I needed help made me feel more secure."Thank you very much," I whispered, tightening my grip on my walking aid. "You don't have to thank me," He replied, his voice sweet as ever. "I'll do anything for you..." Those words sounded so deep and sincere, that they spread warmth through my heart. But once again, I wished I was the one he meant those words for. "Enough of this romantic bullshit!" Maureen shouted, standing to her feet. "Both of you are nothing but disgusting.

Lillian's POV"Are you sure about that?" He asked, his voice laced with concern."Yes," I nodded, "Your mother seemed a bit upset, and I don't want you to keep making her worried. Although I know she doesn't like Jessica, I'll do my best to make her like me.""Mom doesn't hate..." He trailed off. "Mom doesn't hate Jessica. She was just glad that her only child was finally spending his life with someone else. I'm sure she didn't mean anything she said that day.""Besides, you've been through a lot already. I don't think it would be right to meet my mom now," He added, his voice soft with concern."I understand," I replied, nodding slightly. "But it wouldn't be right for us to delay our meeting. What if your mom suddenly comes and sees me? She might take things the wrong way.""That's true," Alexander admitted. "Alright, I'll take you to meet them.""How is your dad?" I inquired, curious. "You hardly talk about him.""Well, I don't have a close relationship with my father. He's always b

She questioned, stepping closer."That's none of your concern," I snapped, unable to contain my rage. "I don't owe you any explanation about where I got this card from. You can't just accuse me of stealing!""You are so upset because you know I'm right," the mall attendant raised her voice. "How can a homeless-looking person like you have a black card of all cards? This is absurd.""Maybe to you!" I snapped. "This card belongs to me, and I owe you no explanation on how I got it. Do you go about calling all of your customers with black card thieves? This is so unprofessional."She suddenly snatched the card away from me and glanced over it."It's not even your name on the card!" She gasped. "It belongs to Alexander McQueen. I think I've heard that name before, but from where...""Give it to me!" I stumbled forward, grabbing the

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.

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

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.

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.

He was updated on the official date of his court hearing and reminded to be of good behavior despite being brutalized by inmates.
