Darkness

Lillian's POV My heart began pounding rapidly in my chest and my grip on my phone tightened. The worst that I feared had happened. For a second, I wished that this was all a nightmare and I would wake up soon. I closed my eyes tightly, wishing that once my eyes opened, all this wouldn't be real. As I fluttered my eyes open, I slowly turned in the direction of the couch. A scream left my lips at the sight of Dustin. My eyes widened in fear and I shrunk backward, my breath hitching and sweat instantly forming on my skin. It felt like there was no oxygen in the room because I couldn't breathe. Dustin had his wounds treated with band-aids on his face, temple, and neck. He looked fit enough to harm me terribly. "You were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't want to wake you," He smirked, crossing one of his legs over the other. "How...how..." I stuttered, my breath shortened. "How did I get in here?" He said, guessing my question. "Well, the idiot that saved you didn't tell you to

Excited Painter

Alexander's POVBeing in the same bed that she would never occupy again, hurt me to the core. Her pretty vanilla scent still lingered in the sheets, and it made me miss her the more. I felt like going to that hotel and pulling her into my arms.I knew that she said she wasn't my Jessica, but I didn't believe that at all. She didn't just look like Jessica, she also acted like her. Jessica had always been kind-hearted from the moment I met her.I met her in a cafe when I was a teenager. Although no one knew her origins at that time, she meant the world to me. She looked so beautiful, fair, and innocent as she sat in that cafe quiet as an angel with a little romance book in her hand. She had always been a sucker for books.That day, I couldn't stop watching her. I had never beheld a perfect human, but she was one. After I met her in that restaurant, I sneaked out of school simply to watch her at that café until she noticed me. I still go to that Cafe to date. I just sit down there, lonel

We Found Her Location

Alexander's POV."What!" I exclaimed, anger and fear rippling through my veins. "What do you mean she's missing?""When I returned, I didn't check on her immediately, but after thirty minutes—""Cut to the chase and tell me exactly what happened!" I yelled, my heart pounding terribly in my chest."I don't know exactly what happened, I'm driving around searching for her. I don't know if she left on her own accord or..."Dread crept into my mind at the thought of her falling into an enemy's hand again.No! no! I couldn't lose her again."Sir, calm down. I'll find her—""Don't tell me that crap! This is exactly what happened when Jessica was first kidnapped. I was a fool to trust you with her care again!" I shouted, my eyes bloodshot with fury."Weren't there any security guards? Or did you leave her all alone to bring those records?" I asked, my breath hitching as the entire room began to spin.There was a moment of silence as he realized how much he had let me down."How could you do t

Survival Game

Alexander's POVI drove as fast as I could to the abandoned hospital where Jessica was.As I got there, I saw a few men standing outside the place. They looked hefty and had guns. Dustin had taken this much precaution! I knew he was bent on ending my lover’s life! Quickly, I pulled over the car and took my gun and as I stepped out, one of them spotted me."Stop right there!" He yelled, immediately and before I knew it, he shot at me.I gasped and swiftly dropped to the floor. More than a few bullets came, and I rushed to the back of the car for safety."He's behind the car," I heard a loud voice, followed by footsteps.I held my gun tightly and waited until they reached me.As the first person got to me, I sprang up and shot him in the shoulder and straight in the lege. Before he could recover, I grabbed his gun and used it to strike him and the other person in the head.They both dropped to the floor, immobilized. I darted my gaze to the ones at the gate, and they shot a few bullets

Patient’s Paralysis

Alexander’s POV"Turn back slowly and take her back to where you found her?" That voice didn't sound like Dustin’s. I scoffed and turned to face him. I thought it was Dustin, but it was the damned doctor who put my woman in this state.He pressed the gun against my forward and growled, "Go drop her back inside or I'll put a bullet in your head,"I smirked, taking slow strides back into the room. Gently, I placed Jessica back on the bed."Please hang in there," I whispered, stepping away from her.I faced the fool who was still pointing his gun at me and released a menacing smirk, "You just made the biggest mistake of your life..." I said, approaching him.His grip on the gun tightened, and he growled, "Take another step and I'll fucking shoot you!!!""You should've just escaped like that weakling, Dustin," I taunted.Just as I was about to disarm him, one of my men appeared, swiftly shooting the doctor.He let out a sharp groan before collapsing to the floor. It was fast, I liked it.

A Hopeful Feeling Of Hurt

Alexander’s POVI was shocked by what I'd just heard. How could her paralysis not be from the accident? Was Dustin poisoning her?"Doctor, could this be from a wrong drug or medication?" I inquired, feeling a sense of dread. "No. The substance is illegal to common citizens and can't be used in any pill or can only be used under supervision." The doctor responded. "I believe this was a case of poisoning."My fists clenched. He had paralyzed her to make her vulnerable to his abuse. That monster deserved to die. If I had met him in that abandoned hospital, I'd have made sure he suffered a fate worse than death. "It seems the accident was just a cover to hide the drug's effect. He is such a scoundrel," I growled, seething with anger."Who are you talking about?" The doctor inquired, eyeing me suspiciously."No one, Doctor," I sighed. "Is there any chance she might walk again?" He looked at me gravely, "Since the drug was still in her system, the odds are low." My heart sank. "What?"

Dustin’s Obsession

Lillian’s POV "I never thought I would walk again," I muttered, tears welling in my eyes. "I mean, with the lack of proper treatments, hope seemed impossible..." It was hard to believe, there was even a chance. I had always dreamed of walking again, but I would never dare to believe it could be real. "Well, I'll contact a specialist who can help you," The doctor said, smiling warmly. "You'll undergo a lot of therapy, and I'll also recommend seeing a therapist to help you through this mentally as well.” "Thank you," I whispered, a sob escaping. I shouldn't be crying, but the happiness was overwhelming. I never expected to hear such good news, let alone after the recent incident. Everything was happening so fast. "You'll be scheduled with a physiotherapist at the appropriate time," the doctor added. "You're going to walk again, Lily..." Alexander murmured, his eyes bright with happiness. I wished my father was here to finally see me get at least an ounce of happiness. "I want th

He Didn’t Want A Commitment

Lilian's POVHis face grew more shocked with each passing second. "You want to be with me?" His brows furrowed in disbelief. "Yes," I gripped his hands, my answer filled with desperation. "Lilian, what's wrong?" He asked, squinting at me. "You're acting strange." "You want me to be with you, right?" I asked, my teary eyes widened. "Of course. I have wished to be with you for years now," He smiled, squeezing my hands lightly."But I know you don't want to be with me. You even said you didn't...love me," Alexander replied, hurt evident in his voice. "I don't understand this sudden change. What happened?"He released my hands and gently cupped my face. "Are you afraid of something?" He asked, studying me in concern. I didn't know what to say at that moment. Should I tell him that I wanted this because of Dustin's harassment? Wouldn't he hate me for trying to take advantage of him? Wouldn't he see me as some liability, especially since I had already claimed not to be Jessica?"Lili

No Feelings, No Intimacy

Lillian's POVI felt an ominous feeling but with a few looks around, nothing seemed off. I continued laughing, trying to shake off the feeling, but I couldn't. It felt like I was being paranoid because of everything that had happened recently, but there was still this nagging feeling gnawing at me.Slowly, I glanced in the direction where I thought the stranger was hiding. I was certain I saw a man with a black suit, quickly ducking behind a tree."Alex!" I shouted, unintentionally letting go of the firefly and pointing at the tree."What is it?" He asked, darting his gaze to where I was pointing."There is someone there, watching us." I replied, my voice shaking as a new found fear filled me."There's no one there," He answered, still looking at the spot."Alexander, I'm not lying. I saw someone there," I insisted, still keeping my finger pointed at the tree. "I don't want to leave you here..." Alexander muttered, stepping behind me. "It might be a trap to lure me away from you. I

Marriage Contract

Alexander's POVHer request caught me off guard. While I hadn't planned on doing anything with her without approval, the demand for no affection seemed a bit extreme."What do you think?" She asked, a small smile forming on her lips.I didn't know what to say at that moment and had to stay silent for a bit. Was it possible for me to be with her without any attachment?"Alex," She called.I was about to respond when a knock came on the door. "Come in," I urged, standing to my feet. "Who is there?" Lilian asked a slight fear in her voice. "Don't panic, it might just be the doctor," I said to her. "By this time," She gasped. I glanced at my watch and it was midnight. The door creaked open, and the doctor walked. "Sorry for interrupting," He apologized, his head bowing slightly. "There's no problem. But do you need something?" I questioned, squinting at him. "No, but the physiotherapist has arrived," the doctor replied. "What? Why would the physiotherapist be here at this time?"
