Drugs

Author's POV."I want to get rid of her as much as you do," Gianna said, her tone laced with frustration. "But I can't touch her for now." Jessica's face twisted in anger. Her mother was her only hope in getting rid of Lillian without a trace,but now she seemed hesitant?"What do you mean by that?" Jessica demanded, frowning deeply. "Your father is being suspicious," Gianna replied, her voice wary. "He asked if I knew Lillian or if she could be your twin." "What did you tell him?" Jessica's brows furrowed in concern. "I told him that I didn't understand what was happening, but promised to look into it," Gianna said, letting out a sigh. "I might just make up a lie that she was stolen at birth, but it might backfire and give her an advantage over us," Gianna said her voice laced with worry. Jessica also became worried at her father's curiosity about the situation. She just hoped he would back down and not have anything investigated. "But how am I going to handle her going after A

Investigation

Author's POV.Jessica inhaled sharply and walked to her room. Upon entering, she grabbed her phone from the bed before sinking into it.She swiped a pillow below her head, making herself comfortable as she searched for a good drug that could get Alexander under her control for a while until she achieved her aim.Although she had no desire to be a mother, Jessica was convinced that getting pregnant would mark a turning point in her relationship with Alexander. Alexander always had a soft spot for kids. She would be the center of attraction."Would it be wise to drug him with something that would make him unconscious or something that would make him aroused?" Jessica thought, biting her bottom lip mischievously. "There is no fun in fucking an unconscious body. I think giving him an aphrodisiac would be best."Jessica rubbed her thighs against each other, closing her eyes in imaginary pleasure."This is going to be more exciting than playing the supportive partner," Jessica smirked. "But

Struggles

Lillian's POV.I stared down at the money Martin had given me; Alexander had asked him to give it to me because it would take a while to unfreeze the accounts. Slowly, I recalled how Martin told me almost everything that had been happening in the mansion during my absence.His stories sounded a bit exaggerated, but based on what I experienced today, I was sure that they were true. He told me how crazy, manipulative, and controlling Jessica was. He said he felt sorry for Alexander because he was under so much pressure.I felt bad for him too. I couldn't imagine living with a nut job like that woman.Martin narrated, rather passionately, how torn apart Alexander was without me. I was also heartbroken by everything, but what could we do? We were both helpless in this situation.He was unwilling to leave with me, and his parents, along with Jessica's parents would only make our love difficult. Despite how inconvenient things were, we just had to keep living apart.I let out a sad sigh and

Wedding Time

Alexander's POV. I dreaded spending another day with her but I had no choice. Our contact was bearable yesterday only because I tried getting some information from her, but today, she annoyed me endlessly."Alex, would you like to watch a movie with me?" she asked, sitting on the couch beside me.As her skin brushed against mine, I instinctively pulled away. "I'm doing something on my phone. I'm not interested in watching a movie right now. Maybe later," I lied, not looking up. "Okay, I'll watch a movie on my own then," she said, letting out a dramatic sigh loud enough for me to hear.As she stood to leave, she suddenly turned back to face me. "I forgot to tell you that my parents and your mom will be coming tonight for dinner," she announced without any warning. "What?" I exclaimed, lifting my gaze in shock."Why are they coming to have dinner with us?" I questioned sharply, unable to hide my fury. "They want to discuss about the engagement and wedding. Since we've sorted out o

A New Job

Author's POVAlexander's face filled with shock."A month's time? is this a joke or something?" he exclaimed, springing up from his seat. The chair behind him fell to the floor with a loud thud."What's wrong with marrying in a month's time?" Mrs McQueen asked, surprised by his reaction. "We can hire one of the best and fastest wedding planners and—" Alexander's patience finally snapped, "I'm still trying to cope with the engagement and everything else happening in my life right now. How can you suddenly bring up a wedding date?" "Why are you being so angry and agitated? Three years ago, if we allowed you to marry Jessica a week after your engagement, you would have. What has changed?" "Everything has changed. I don't love her anymore, and I doubt that I could bear spending the rest of my life with her," Alexander couldn't say it out loud, though his heart screamed the truth. "Alexander, I understand that you're overwhelmed by the situation..." "I'm not just overwhelmed. I feel s

Mask

Lillian's POV. "Alex?" I gasped, utterly astounded.Did Alexander go as far as following me here? Why would he do something like this?"No," the voice was completely different from Alexander's. It wasn't him."Oh, I'm sorry," I apologized, my face reddening in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to bump into you.""There's no problem. It didn't seem like you did it on purpose," he muttered.I wondered about expression behind his mask."I'm one of the cooks here. I just resumed," he said, helping me stand straight. He withdrew his hand from my waist and kept it by his side."You're new here?" I asked, before I could stop myself."No, I came late," he clarified, lowering his gaze as if embarrassed. "I don't want to stall you. You can resume your duties.""Okay sir," I nodded, bowing slightly.As I was about to brush past him, he grabbed my arm, stopping me.I was surprised by his sudden grasp, but remained calm."Sorry," he apologized, releasing my arm. "I just wanted to ask your name.""It'

Love Interest

Lillian's POV. It seemed like he noticed how uncomfortable I was, so he fell silent.I gulped, holding onto my seat belt. Why was he so eager to see my face? What was his curiosity about me? It wasn't like I was some celebrity.I glanced at him, and his eyes were on me again. Oh goodness! Would he just focus on the road? I was still traumatized by what happened during the accident that day. I didn't want to experience that again.Why was he staring at me so much? Did he have any interest in me? But he hadn't even seen my face, I guessed he was just curious."If you ever find it difficult to catch a ride, please let me know," Vincent said, his voice soft."I don't think I want to inconvenience you again. I can't afford half of the gas used to keep this car running, and I can't afford your time either," I replied firmly. "You shouldn't see it that way. You might not be a chef, but you're my colleague," He said gently."I am, and that's what I want to remain. I don't want to inconvenie

Stalker

Lillian's POV."What is he doing here?" I whispered to myself, my heart pounding. I turned away and walked behind a tree, hiding. I touched my face and realized I wasn't wearing a mask. Quickly, I searched through my bag and pulled out a face mask. I wore it, still wondering what Vincent truly wanted from me. He said that he only helped people. Why was he here now? Did he lie last night? Was he a stalker or something? Slight fear crept into my heart but I shoved it off. Summoning courage, I walked over to him. As I reached him, he was still ringing the bell, not noticing me. "Vincent," I called him and he turned to face me. "Oh, Lillian, I have been knocking on your door for a while now," He stepped closer to me and smiled. "How was your night? I hope you didn't feel too cold. Sorry for not offering you a jacket last night. My chivalry slipped yesterday.""You don't have to apologize, but what are you doing at my apartment? I didn't recall you saying anything about visiting me,

Wrong Dinner Table

Lillian's POV. "Vincent, this is—"Before I could complete my sentence, he interrupted with a soft tone. "Can we have a cup of coffee now?" He asked, smiling broadly as if he hadn't just made me uncomfortable as hell. "Coffee?" I gasped in disbelief. "Alright, let's have some coffee," I said snarkily, walking away from the sitting room. I wasn't sure if leaving him alone in there was a good decision, but there wasn't much he could take, not even a picture. In the kitchen, I made a single cup of coffee. I wasn't willing to chat or show him my face yet. Once done, I walked to the dining room and placed it there, along with a small kettle.Returning to the sitting room, I found him trailing his fingers on some of the furniture. "Your coffee is ready," I said and disappeared before he could respond. Eventually, he followed me to the dining room, and upon reaching there, we sat down. "Oh, wow, this smells nice," he commented, bringing the cup close to his face. "Where is yours?" h

Unmasked

Lillian's POV. "I can't attend to that table," I refused, shaking my head.Even though I was wearing a mask, I couldn't be too sure that Alexander wouldn't recognize me. But why this restaurant, of all the places in the state? Did Alexander purposely bring them? I suspected that he occasionally had Martin check up on me. No! He couldn't have known that I worked here. He wouldn't want to humiliate me that way. This must be a pure coincidence. "What did you just say?" The waiter asked, snapping me back to reality. "I said that I can't attend to that table," I responded firmly. The expression of the waiter shifted, and he frowned deeply. "You are a waiter, Lillian. It's your job to attend to tables. You can't just decide not to because you don't feel like it," He retorted, his voice stiff. I was taken aback by his attitude. "I was heading to another table. You seem free, so why don't you attend to them?" I snapped. It wasn't my intention to come off rude, but he didn't have th
