Lahat ng Kabanata ng Saved To Be A Substitute: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Lillian's POVI was surprised to see Vincent. He had appeared at the perfect moment, and I couldn't be more grateful. But what did Alexander think, seeing another man defending me so vehemently instead of him? I was about to shift my gaze to him, but Jessica interrupted. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" Jessica quipped, glaring at Vincent. Vincent released her hand before speaking. "My identity isn't your concern. I won't watch you harm any staff of this restaurant!" Vincent said, his voice low yet menacing. "Any staff?" She gasped as if he'd said something horrendous. "Can you see what she did to my dress? Or are you blind? This dress is a limited edition. Even if she worked her entire life, she wouldn't be able to afford it," Jessica thundered. "That doesn't give you the right to resort to violence. You could have waited for her to explain herself or offer an apology because she couldn't have possibly done this intentionally. "Are you so dumb that you think an apology

Alexander's POV.As I dashed into my room, I paced back and forth, trying to control myself. I wanted to head over to Lillian's apartment right now and ask why that chef was vehemently defending her. I wanted to do that for her, but he came out of nowhere, and the way he acted was angering. Their closeness was disturbing. I shouldn't feel this way because I trust that Lillian will never betray me, but I definitely do not trust that chef. What if he tried to take advantage of her emotional vulnerability? Lillian could be very strong and sometimes weak when she wants to be. I didn't want her to show her weak side to anyone apart from me. My heart broke each time I thought about the way he held her hand and how she didn't even attempt to take her hand out of his grip. I had so many unanswered questions in my head. First, who was the chef? Why was she so comfortable with him? Were they just friends? And more importantly, should I be worried? My mind just kept racing with different t

Author's POV.As Lillian slammed the door, her heart sank, but she tried to act like she wasn't shaken by their conversation. She just had to make herself believe she had made the right decision for her safety, sanity and life. Lillian walked over to her couch and curled up. Different thoughts ran through her mind as her eyes stayed glued at the blank television. She had desired for Alexander to suggest an escape long time ago, but now, she didn't want that anymore. Though Lillian hadn't established a stable life, she couldn't leave all this behind. Her new job, adventures and freedom were all important to her. Besides, she knew that if his parents pressured him to return, he would run to them in a heartbeat. Alexander was a good man, and that was one of his weaknesses. He had never cared only about his interests. He always put people's feelings above his. Lillian just had to accept that she had lost him forever and stick with this new life. "Oh God," She let out a sigh, closing

Author's POV. With a mischievous smirk, Jessica walked toward Alexander. Meanwhile, Alexander's eyes were fixed on her body. From her nude, fair breasts down to her curvy waist. Deep down, he wasn't interested and wanted to look away, but the urge that was writhing within him forced him to keep his eyes peered on her. Jessica was feeling so happy, because of how he focused on her. She never knew the drug could have such effect. If she did, she would have gotten it sooner instead of wasting her time by playing the perfect girlfriend "Finally, I'm getting what I want. We will sleep with each other and the pregnancy whether fake or not will come in. I'll finally have a strong hold over him and he will never return to that bitch again," she thought, moving forward. "Do you want this?" Jessica teased, twirling her finger around her nipple. She slipped her finger down to her pussy and swiped against it. Her seductive walks and moves were causing Alexander to get more aroused. He cou

Author's POV.Lillian wondered if this was the right moment to contemplate that, especially since she had been influenced by what happened earlier. If she was going to make any decision, it should be with a clear mind. Sighing, she covered Alexander properly and smiled softly, "Goodbye, Alex." She rose to her feet and stepped out of the house.Upon arriving at her workplace, ten minute before to her shift, she spotted someone unexpected. She saw Jessica sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant. She wanted to ignore her, but Jessica had already seen her. Jessica stood to her feet and hastily walked up to her.Before Lillian could ask why she was in the restaurant, Jessica interrupted with a question, "Where is Alexander?" Lillian was caught off guard by it. She stared blankly at Jessica for a few minutes but decided it was best to lie for her peace of mind. "I don't know," Lillian replied, acting nonchalantly. "You don't know?" Jessica huffed in disbelief. "I know he
