Lilian's POV.

What partnership was he talking about? Was he referring to the marriage contract? I thought Alexander agreed not to tell anyone about it.

"Err...this isn't Alexander," I revealed.

"Who is this? Where is Sir Alexander?" He asked, his voice shaky.

"He went to—" As I was about to reveal Alexander's whereabouts, he walked in.

His eyes widened upon seeing me with his phone.

"Someone named Mr. Crown called you," I said to him.

He rushed over to me and snatched the phone from me. I was so stunned at the force he used.

It seemed like he noticed my startled gaze because he gave an apologetic look almost immediately.

"I'm sorry," He whispered, rushing out of the room.

I was in disbelief at his reaction. I knew it wasn't right to pick up his calls, but I had no choice.

"Is he angry with me?" I asked, letting out a sigh.

I continued pondering his reaction until he walked back into the room. He seemed less agitated than before.

"I'm sorry, Lily," He apologized, walking to me.

    Lillian's POVMaureen and I stared at each other with her giving me a wicked spooky smile. I felt chills down my spine but then I shook my head, determined not to let her get the last laugh. "Well, I don't think so," I said, curling my lips into a smirk. "Also, I'm not unhappy that you're alive. I want you to be alive, so you can watch everything in your life fall apart.""You may have escaped death, but I'll give you a worse and inescapable fate," I sneered, meaning every word I spoke.They were going to regret everything they had done to me and my father.Maureen suddenly burst into a dark laugh that attracted some attention to her."Oh, you're so funny," She chuckled. "How are you going to give me a fate worse than that, when you're here rotting in a wheelchair?"My hand twitched to give her a hard slap, but I held back. I wasn't going to create a scene in front of so many people, nor was I going to wash our dirty linen there."Don't worry, you'll find out soon," I replied with a

    Lillian's POVHow could Alexander be partnered with Dustin? That made no sense. Alexander hated Dustin as much as I did, I could see the rage in his eyes anytime he talked about him."You're such a liar!" I yelled, my voice filled with a venom I'd never thought I possessed. "You're just jealous about my relationship with Alexander, and you're trying so hard to put a wedge between us.""I'm telling you the truth, stupid. He's just using you, like Dustin did!" She snapped."Shut up!" I shouted. "Alexander can't even stand the mention of Dustin, why would he do business with him? And the last time they met, Alexander broke almost every part of him!"Maureen rolled her eyes, scoffing, "That was just a first encounter. Looks like they realized they had common goals and decided to be partners."Every word that escaped her lips, made anger surge through me. I had never had such an urge to silence someone permanently as I did now."What you're saying makes no sense at all!" I retorted, glarin

Well, I couldn't say otherwise anymore."If you don't want any trouble, you'll step away from her right now!" Alexander growled, his eyes blazing with anger."Why are you so insistent on taking her away? She doesn't seem uncomfortable with me. Does she?" Max fired back, leaning down to ask softly, "Lillian, have I done anything wrong?""Lillian, what's all this?" Alexander asked, his gaze unreadable, yet questioning."Max hasn't done anything wrong. He's just being nice..." I sniffed, sighing. "He's a member of the knitting group I joined. He's...not a bad person."Alexander's anger flared as he glared at the guards standing by the door. "One of the guards could have assisted you instead of this stranger!" He spat, his gaze cutting back to Max.Their stares locked, neither of them backing down. I could feel the tension growing, and it worried

I trailed off, swallowing the hard lump in my throat. "Lillian, I don't understand what you're saying.""I know you understood every word. I don't want to stay married to you anymore. Let's end the contract," She insisted, her voice cold."Why are you suddenly asking this?" I asked, my heart wrenching. "Why do you want to break this off? Just this morning, you were happy to spend time with me.""That was this morning. Now, I don't even want to see you. You disgust me!" She spat, her harsh words tearing my heart apart."I...disgust you?" I gasped."Yes, you do." She asserted. "I can't keep pretending like everything is okay when it isn't. I don't want to continue this marital charade anymore." "What is that supposed to mean? Everything has been going well between us. Though we spend little time together these days, we've

She gasped, sitting up. "What are you doing here?""I'm here to talk, and you better respond to whatever questions I have or you'll see the other side of me," I threatened, looking irritatedly at her."What questions do you want to ask? Is it about my presence here?" She asked, a smile etching on her lips. "Or do you want to speak with Dustin?""I thought he might be—""What did you tell Lillian?" I questioned, cutting her off. I didn't care about the nonsense she had to say. All I wanted to know was the lies she fed Lillian."Seriously?" She scoffed, lifting a brow.

I snapped."Alright, you don't have to wear such a nasty look and ruin your handsome...face," She smirked.I didn't find any amusement in her words. I just sta

"I thought I was enough for him.""Well, clearly you aren't," I said casually, sitting on her bed. "If he truly loved you as he claims, he wouldn't be chasing after another woman, especially one he made you believe wasn't important to him.""So, you're trying to say that Dustin got a partnership with you, brought me to this hospital, and did everything else so he could have Lillian?" She asked, clearly in denial.Her face saddened as I nodded in agreement."Yes. He's done all of this because he's obsessed with Lillian. If you want him to stop using you, then you've got to become an obstacle in his path," I said, feigning a friendly tone.I stood from her bed, "The ball is in your court, Maureen. It truly is.""Either you get your priorities right, and leave Lillian alone, or fight the wrong person and lose the love of y

    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, please give me a chance to explain. I know this s

    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.

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.

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 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 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

  • 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.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"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 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
