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   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.

    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

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

"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

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.

"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.

    Alexander's POV."What problem?" I asked, my tone icy. When Martin didn't respond immediately, I turned to my wife and said softly, "Stay inside Freckles. Let me check what the issue is." Before she could oppose, I came out of the car. A gasp left my lips when I saw Eva standing in between her obstructive car and mine."What is the meaning of all this?" I growled through clenched teeth."I can't believe that you left me at your mother's house all alone after I got drugged by your supposed rival!" Eva snapped, her voice rising. "You didn't even bother to take care of me. Instead, you rushed back to your party, and today, you went to a jewelry store to satisfy that bitch in your car!" Did just call my Freckles a bitch?"Eva, are you out of your mind?" I asked, my voice thick with anger. "What exactly is wrong with you? Don't tell me you were following us." "Yes, I followed you from a distance," she admitted. "I saw both of you leaving the jewelry store, laughing like nothing happene

    Alexander's POV."How can you just demand something like that from me?" I gasped, my voice laced with shock. "What you are even asking is absurd! Why would I divorce my wife to please your spoilt daughter?" I snapped. "You aren't even thinking of my wife's feelings or mine.""Your mother promised that my daughter would marry you!" He spat, his voice thick with anger. "She made us reject good suitors that would have made my daughter happy. She gave my daughter hope that you would be with her. Only for you to insult and degrade her!""I never degraded her!" I argued. "I just gave her a taste of her own medicine. She kept degrading my wife, and I refused to let that continue.""Moreover, I didn't say I was going to marry your daughter. My mother made that promise on her own, and you don't have to blame me because you foolishly went along with it," I argued further, unable to contain the rage within me."Don't you dare talk to me that way!" Mr Smith sneered. "You'll show me some respect!

    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.

    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

I arched my back, moaning when he sucked on me lavishly."Alex. . .the bed. . .I can't. . ." Even with him holding me up, my knees were beginning to shake.

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.

But I knew him well enough to know that it was not a real smile."It's good news actually but I'll tell you in the car.

Come on, let's rinse your mouth."He flushed the toilet first and led her to the sink. She cupped her hands under the running water, rinsed out her mouth and washed her face. She regained some strength and could stand on her own without his help."Baby, you scared the shit out of me. Are you okay now? Do you need anything?""I need. . .I need to sit down."
