Lilian's POV

"Lily, please forgive me," Alexander's voice was more soothing than ever.

I kept wriggling in his grip, but he refused to let me go.

"I don't want to accept your stupid apology!" I snarled. "I'm not interested and never will."

"You're mad at me, and I get it. I'd be angry too, but whatever happened was out of my control," Alexander whispered, his hands on my waist, rubbing me tenderly.

"Out of your control?" I scoffed.

"Yes." He nodded, his chin brushing against my hair. "If you'd let me explain everything, you'd understand. You'll see how complicated and uncontrollable the situation was."

Uncontrollable? If he could find me in such a secluded place when I went missing, and do so much with his influence, how could he not avoid getting into a partnership with Dustin?

Was he saying Dustin, whom he almost killed, coerced him into signing the deal? Or tied him up and put him at gunpoint?

His words made no sense.

    Lillian's POVI was stunned by the sudden sharpness in his reply. His tone was almost harsh."I'm...sorry..." I stuttered. "I didn't mean to be nosy..."My hands slowly clutched to the sides of my dress, suddenly feeling uneasy. I didn't like the change in his tone."You weren't being nosy," He said, his voice calmer now. "I'm sorry for being so abrupt with you."He ended the call, setting his phone down in the cup holder."No, you were right. Your conversation with someone else isn't any of my concern. I think I was being too forward. I apologize," I replied, forcing a small smile.Silence fell between us until he spoke again."It was my mother that called," He revealed."You don't have to explain yourself," I said, more sharply than intended."But I want to, "He insisted. "I was talking to my mom, letting her know that I left the hospital for a while. She was planning to visit, so I didn't want her to waste her time.""Well, she began scolding me angrily," He muttered, lowering his

I almost fell off my wheelchair but managed to steady myself and move away."What...are you doing here?" I stuttered, my voice shaking. "Max, what are you doing with this man? What's going on?"“You want to know?” A smug smile appeared on Max's lips as he replied, "I was never sick. I was in the hospital because Dustin hired me to get close to you. The task was easier than I thought."I was stunned. I had been fooled so terribly. But...how could I have suspected that Max was working for Dustin?"No...this can't be true..." I swallowed, my body shivering. "Are you saying that the stories, everything about your mother, was all a lie?""Why do you keep asking stupid questions?" Max snapped.Dustin let out a chuckle, "Spare her, she's still in denial...""Everything was a lie, except my name," Max replied, releasing a dark chuckle.I

I whispered to myself, my heart shattering some more. "We've been through so much together. Isn't that enough for her to trust me?"I glanced down at the bed and trailed my fingers on it."Fuck..." I cursed, clutching the sheets angrily.I wasn't angry at her. I was angry at myself for letting her go. I just felt too hurt at that moment, I wanted to completely respect her wishes."I shouldn't have let her go. I fucked up!" I said, gritting my teeth. "Why did I do that?"I took my hands to my hair, ruffling it in exasperation. I shouldn't have allowed my disappointment to cloud my decision. Letting her go was a stupid move.A knock suddenly came on the door, and a frown appeared on my lips."I thought I already dismissed her," I said, referring to Jemimah, who was confused about Lillian's sudden disa

Without hesitation, I flung him away, and he flew over the couch, crashing into the old center table with a sickening thud. "Lillian," I muttered, turning to her.I knelt beside her and pulled her into my arms."Lillian, can you hear me?" I asked, my heart pounding rapidly.Her eyes fluttered open and closed, her lips quivering with incoherent mutterings. The state she was in sent a jolt of fear through my heart."Lillian," I called, tapping her cheek gently. "Please, keep your eyes open. Love, can you hear me?""Leave me alone..." She muttered, and my heart ached.I felt so angry at myself for not getting here sooner. She shouldn't be like this. She must be in so much pain. "Lillian, please wake up," I urged, needing to hear her speak, even if it was to tell me that she hated me. I wouldn't be at peace until I knew she was okay. "Help..." Her eyes slowly opened, moist

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

"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,

"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

"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.

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.

"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

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

    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

    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.

    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

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 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
