Lillian's POV“What…” I stuttered , caught off guard by her question. Why would she ask me that? Was she truly convinced I was her daughter, or was this a test? If she had asked me any other question, I would have answered. But I knew nothing about this woman. Even if I had learned everything about Jessica, how was I supposed to know her mother's hobbies? I looked at Alexander, silently pleading for help, but he seemed just as shocked by her question. “Darling,” She grabbed my chin between her fingers, her tone icy. “Don't tell me that you don't know your mother's fun activity?”“Mom…” “When did you start calling me Mom?” She sneered, her grip tightening around my chin. I swallowed hard, my body starting to quiver.“You used to call me Ma" She spat, her gaze suddenly filled with disdain. “You're not my daughter, are you?”“Gianna, stop all this,” Jessica's father intervened. “You're scaring her, you don't know everything she's been through.”“I do not care!” She shouted, releasi
Lillian's POVWhat promise was she talking about?I felt utterly confused and out of place. It seemed like everyone else understood what was going on except me. Glancing at Alexander, I noticed his gaze fixed on Eva and his mother. Who was Eva? Was she a family friend? Or maybe an ex? Could it be that Alexander had dated someone before Jessica? Was it her? I exhaled sharply, realizing my thoughts were spiraling. They were starting to make no sense. “Alexander,” I called softly, and it took him a moment to shift his gaze to me. “Yes, freckles?”“Who is she?”I asked, my curiosity piqued.” Is she a family friend?”“No, she's not a family friend,” He replied slowly, as though carefully choosing his words. “Her family used to be against mine, but we eventually became closer and ended the feud.”“Wow,” I mouthed, glancing at them again. “I just wondered why you never mentioned her or her family before.”“We're not close…I mean personally…” He added, his tone uneasy. “Alright,” I nodd
Lillian's POVI couldn't believe she was demanding something like that. I knew she disliked Jessica, but this was going too far."Mom, nothing of that sort will happen," Alexander intervened, his voice stern. "I won't let Lillian be examined unnecessarily by anyone. Her past is no one's business.""It's our business when your health is at risk. You're too young to be facing more challenges," Mrs. McQueen spat back."Mom, my health isn't at risk. Lillian is a healthy young woman, and I'm not at any risk. Stop making insinuations." Alexander shot back, his tone unwavering. "How are you so sure that she's clean?" Mrs McQueen persisted, her voice laced with accusation.Her refusal to back down was infuriating. Why did she keep accusing me of something so horrible?"Mom...""Don't call me," She cut him off sharply. "I'm saying this for your benefit. How do you think she survived all those years? No job, no certificate, no memories...nothing!""Mrs. McQueen, I'm not a girl who sleeps aroun
Lillian's POVMy heart almost stopped at her words. She was planning to get Alexander married in three months?"What did you just say?" Gianna exclaimed, just as shocked as I was."What? Why are you surprised?" Mrs. McQueen glared at her. "How can you expect Alexander to stay alone for another year because of a stupid vow he made to your daughter.""I just had to find a suitable woman that could make him happy and erase the memories of your daughter away!" Mrs. McQueen said, her voice dripping with venom.Each word she spoke kept hurting me. The pain was unbearable, knowing how insignificant I was in their eyes. None of them even knew who I truly was or what I felt for Alexander. To them, I was no one."I couldn't allow my son to remain alone!" She added sharply."What happiness does he deserve after the hurt he caused my daughter? If it weren't for him, would she have gone missing for three years?""That's the only excuse you have for my son to remain unhappy? I couldn't allow that.
Lillian's POV"That was quick," Mrs. McQueen commented, a smile gracing her lips. "I thought you would be too scared or offended to accept.""I'm no longer offended by what you said earlier," I muttered sincerely. "You were only looking out for your son, which I understand very well. I care for the ones I love just like that."She stared at me for a while, before her lips curled again. This time, her smile seemed more genuine."I'm happy that you understand the lengths I'm willing to go for my son," She said, her voice firm."Mom, why do you want her to stay with you?" Alexander asked, his tone laced with displeasure. "I don't think it would be appropriate.""I just want to bond with my daughter-in-law, what's your problem?" She asked, letting out a chuckle."I'm just being protective of my wife," Alexander muttered, his tone defensive.I glanced at him with my eyes glinting with gratitude. It was wonderful to have a man that would stand up to his family."Don't worry, Alexander. We a
Lillian's POV"Yes," I replied without hesitation.Alexander quickly unhooked my bra and pulled off the straps. My breasts came into view as he tossed the bra into the water.He pressed his lips against my nipple, and a moan escaped my lips. When he parted his lips and took my nipple into his mouth, I released an even louder moan of pleasure.I tangled my fingers in his hair as his tongue swirled around my sensitive nipple. Closing my eyes in pleasure, I surrendered to the sensations, feeling his hand knead my other breast. "Oh!" I whimpered as his teeth grazed gently on my nipple. "Alexander," I moaned, savoring every swirl of his tongue and touch of his hand.My nipple grew more sensitive with every second that passed, moans spilling out of my lips quicker than I expected. As the throbbing in one nipple became almost unbearable, he shifted to the other. He sucked harder, his lips moving with more intensity, sending heat coursing through my body."Ahhh..." I whimpered, tightening
Lillian's POV"Oh," I let out a sigh of relief, my body finally still. I had never come that hard before. It was so intense and thrilling. I wanted to feel it again.His cock moved slowly inside me again, and soft cries escaped my lips."Gosh..."I trembled, my toes curling.His thrusts were slow, and addictive, making my body jerk with pleasure. With each movement, my pussy pulsed around his cock, my body threatening to lose control again."Alex..." I whimpered, a smile tugging at my lips.My body craved that searing hotness again, the overwhelming rush. My hands trailed over his muscular back, savoring every touch and moment."Mmm...mmm."The slowness of his thrusts was tortuous, yet captivating. I was floating on the cloud of desire, drowning in the haze of pleasure.But then, his pace quickened, each thrust driving deeper and harder. My breaths turned ragged, and my moans grew louder, filling the room.My nails dug into his back as his cock hit that perfect spot, again and again, m
Lillian's POVI was taken aback , what was Eva doing here?"Look who we have here..."Eva began, her tone taunting."The lost-and-found lover.""You mean wife?" I corrected her, my tone laced with irritation.Her face paled at my words, but she didn't look too surprised. She must have seen the news when Alexander called me his wife."The correction wasn't necessary," Eva spat, glaring at me. "But if it makes you feel better to be constantly called his wife, then fine. Just know, nothing remains forever."She just threatened me and I knew it."It's a marriage, it's meant to last forever until death do us part," I restorted quickly.Even though our marriage was technically a contract for three years, I had already given my body, heart and soul to Alexander. Would it be easy to part from him?"Bullshit," Eva sneered, clearly irritated. "I can't believe that Alexander still chose someone like you. I wish he could concentrate on the future, not cling to the past."She looked over me from hea
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
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
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
