Saved To Be A Substitute Dustin, You’re Finished
Alexander's POV"Cost me?" I scoffed, shaking my head."Yes...""How delusional are you, Maureen?" I asked, glancing at Lillian. "I am the only one who can stop Dustin from leaving you high and dry. So you're in no position to ask for anything.""If you've decided to still demand something, I have other ways of carrying out my plans without you, Understood?" I sneered, irritation in my voice.I brushed the tip of my fingers over Lillian's hair, smiling softly. The sight of her brought such delight to my heart, distracting me from the stupidity unfolding on the call."Maureen...""Okay, I won't ask for anything. I'll do everything you've asked," She agreed without another word."Make sure he signs the document, I demanded. “He is so angry now, he will blindly trust what you say, as long as it is what he desires.” I planned this so well. Dustin was blinded by rage and if he got the opportunity to get back at me immediately, he would take it without batting an eyelid. His pride would cl

Lillian's POV.The moment I felt his soft lips, a heat spread through my body. It was an electrifying feeling I couldn't understand. It was intense, yet tender.I pressed my lips harder against his, and his hands slowly moved to cup my face. He kissed me back, softly tugging my bottom lip.His thumb caressed my cheek gently as he captured my lips again. I reached for his face as well, tightening my closed eyes as he tilted his head, deepening the kiss. The way he kissed me was rhythmical and hungry. Each moment was making my heart race.But as I opened my eyes to meet his gaze, the realization hit me like a lightning bolt.I quickly pulled away and my cheeks burned as guilt and panic filled me. "I'm sorry..." I murmured, lowering my gaze. My hands trembled slightly as I kept them by my sides. I didn't regret kissing him, but I knew I'd broken the clause. We weren't supposed to have any intimacy, not even a kiss. "I shouldn't have done that," I whispered, my voice shaky.Alexander

Lillian's POVMy breath caught in my throat. I didn't know what to say. His question was so sudden that it completely caught me off guard. "I mean, when we got a bit intimate, did you feel something...different for me?" Alexander asked, his intense gaze holding mine. "I know you said you don't love me, but...you must have felt something in that moment." My heart pounded so loudly in my chest that, for a moment, I feared he might hear it. Could that even be possible?"Lillian..." He whispered, gently holding my hand asking for an answer. "No," I blurted before I could stop myself. The instant hurt that flashed in his eyes made my chest tighten with regret. Seeing that pain across his face was unbearable. "Okay," He said quietly, releasing my hand. He stood up suddenly from the bed, avoiding my gaze as he turned towards the door. "Where are you going?" I asked, my voice shaky. "Just...to get some fresh air..." He muttered, attempting to smile but failed. Before I could reply,

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. Then, I entered the car."Where is Martin?" I asked,

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

Lillian's POVDr. Nathan looked stunned by my request. I was equally doubtful about the possibility, but I held onto the hope he could help me. After all, he was considered the best physiotherapist in the world. If anyone could achieve this, it was him. I was desperate to walk again. The faster I recovered, the sooner I could distance myself from Alexander. I might already like him, but I couldn't ignore what he said.His words of loving Jessica forever echoed in my mind. I understood that he was still grieving when we signed the marriage contract. But after everything that happened between us, from the kisses to the sweet confessions, I thought that he was beginning to feel something for me.The real me. Not just my face.I hated that I felt jealous of a dead person, but I did."Lillian, I admire your determination..." Dr. Nathan said hesitantly. "But I don't think it is possible for you to walk in just a week. It would be too exhausting, and you might relapse.""So, you can't get m

Saved To Be A Substitute A New Problem
Lillian's POV."I love you," I whispered against his lips before kissing him deeper.I had forgotten for a second that people were around until the attendant cleared her throat. I broke the kiss and turned to her with an apologetic smile."I'm sorry," I apologized."It's nothing. I'm happy for both of you," she replied with a genuine smile. "So, will you be taking the ring or do you still want to check for more?""No, I love this one," I said, smiling broadly. "It's exactly what I want. It's simple, elegant, and exquisite at the same time. It's my style and what I would be comfortable wearing.""I'm glad that you like it. I also see that it fits, so I guess we are settled," she muttered, extending her hand."Yes, thanks," I sighed, removing the ring and handing it over.She kept it back in the box and packaged it."We also want to purchase wedding rings," Alexander said with a wide smile."That's wonderful," the attendant laughed softly. "Let me keep this aside and show you a few mor

Lillian's POV. "What?" Alexander gasped, grabbing the note from me. "That's not what he told me."He glanced over the note and shook his head."He lied to me.""Are you sure he wasn't the sender?" I asked, fear gripping me."I don't know...I fucking let him inside," Alexander sneered, his voice thick with regret."That doesn't mean anything. Did you catch him looking around, or did he get close to any of your properties?" I asked."No, he didn't," Alexander sighed. "I guess I have been tricked. He might have just given the wrong description to confuse me.""Did you just let him go?" I asked, my heart racing."No, I had him followed. I also have some of his details including his picture, to trace him wherever he runs to," Alexander replied, exhaling sharply."Then I guess we've got nothing to worry about," I said, letting out a sigh.I might have read the most awful words ever, but I wasnt going to let it to ruin our plans. We had given enough time to our problems, it was time to enjo

Lillian's POV"What gift?" I asked, feeling a sudden wave of curiosity.Alexander looked up at me and gasped as if he hadn't meant for me to hear what he said."What is it?" I pressed, searching his face. "You look pale again," I added, reaching for him."Nothing," Alexander stuttered, shaking his head. "It's just a—""Alex, don't hide anything from me," I said, my tone pleading. "We've been having so many issues in our relationship because we've hidden things from each other. Let's not do that again, please..."I watched him swallow a lump in his throat, and lower his gaze."I didn't mean to hide anything from you," He said with a sigh. "It's just that I didn't want to bother you.""You aren't bothering me," I said with a soft smile. I held his face gently and whispered, "You're my husband, and you can share your troubles with me. I'll do the same too."His expression softened at my words."I received an envelope earlier," Alexander revealed."Envelope? You mean the one that was slip

Alexander's POV. "What did you just say?" I gasped, lifting my head. "A secret ad...admirer?"My mind instantly went to Dustin. I couldn't believe that the bastard refused to relent despite my warning to him, yesterday."Is it Dustin Stone?" I asked the delivery man."Sir, I'm not supposed to reveal the identity of the sender," he replied firmly. "Please sign, so I can leave.""Is the sender Dustin?" I repeated, unrelenting."I don't want to get fired—""How much do you want?" I asked, enticing him. "I'll give you enough to quit this job and live a better life."The delivery man swallowed hard, lowering his gaze for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about my offer."Okay," He agreed with a nod. "Come in," I said, letting him inside. I closed the door behind me and dropped the box on the floor. "Do you know what is inside?" I asked, squinting at the box. "It's a vase," he replied, glancing down at it. "He attached a message to it, stating how beautiful she was and she could put
Saved To Be A Substitute Gift Box
Alexander's POV."What is it?" Lillian asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Is it an invitation or something?"I swallowed the lump in my throat and let out a sharp sigh."It's not an invitation," I replied, trying to mask my nervousness. "It's just Martin telling me my partners were upset that I left the party abruptly and didn't return.""Since we weren't opening the door, he decided to write it out," I added, lying smoothly."I guess that must be my fault...I mean, you not returning to the party," Lillian muttered, her tone laced with guilt. "I'm sorry...""Don't apologize, Freckles," I said softly. "You did nothing wrong."I walked over to where our clothes were scattered and grabbed my pants, slipping the envelope and letter into the pocket discreetly, hoping she wouldn't notice."Are you sure it's just about your partners being upset?" Lillian asked, her voice tinged with concern."Yes." I nodded. "It's just that I have to pacify them, which requires some work. But it's noth
Saved To Be A Substitute Strange Message
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.
Saved To Be A Substitute Imperfect Couple
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
Saved To Be A Substitute Lillian, Please Listen…
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
Saved To Be A Substitute You Did What?
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
