The Devil's Secretary
" You're mine, little bird."
My blood thrummed loudly in my ears as I crawled away from him on the floor.
With long strides, he was already standing above me. He pulled me up and covered my mouth with his palm.
Panic set in, my limbs shaking in terror.
"You need a reminder of who you belong to." His mismatched eyes boring into mine.
I shook my head, violently, tears wetting his hand over my mouth.
He brought the knife to my face." Tell your lover, Zayden, not to get involved. I already graced you with the wedding. Marry him, but 7 days after the wedding, come back to Denver, where you belong."
I nodded desperately, hoping he wouldn't hurt me.
" I'll leave a souvenir." He chuckled and then dug the pocket knife into my side.

Chapter: Chapter 58Zayden She took a shaky breath, her skin pale."He would torture me while whispering that he loved me and no one else would. I believed him because the truth was the only people who ever loved me were my parents, and I barely remembered them." "In what way did he torture you?" I wanted to know how I'd kill him. I was going to inflict ten times the pain, he did on Lillian. I don't care if she's going to hate me for it, but I'm going to make him suffer. I'm going to get justice for her even if it gets me in jail. She swallowed, her voice cracking. It was hard for her. I could tell she was trying so hard not to break down. "Sometimes he'd use a knife, other times his belt, nail or his fist. He didn't fail to pay my tuition and cover my expenses and that was the only thing that kept me going." I squeezed her hand, thankfully she hadn't noticed the scratch on my knuckles. I made sure to clean them up and apply a concealer after punching the wall to relieve my frustration yesterday.

Chapter: Chapter 57Lillian My jaw hung open. I shifted uncomfortably on the couch." You what?" He chuckled." I'm kidding, I just wanted to see your reaction." I felt a little bit of relief but my stomach kept roiling. His eyes bore into mine." What? You don't believe me?" I sighed; I only partially believed him. Like who would believe him after seeing what he can do." After seeing what you can do? Nah, I don't think so." He shrugged and then opened his laptop. The office fell silent and I picked up a magazine, trying to distract myself from the uneasy feeling in my chest. This family was messed up. Father hates son, son hates brother. Brother enjoys violence and has serious anger issues. There's no relationship between them at all. And Aiden, I don't know what he's up to. I rarely see him at the office, sometimes, once a week. It was odd, given that he was always competing with Zayden, but now he just chilled out. I shook my head, thinking of something that would keep me busy. "

Chapter: Chapter 56Lillian This was odd. I stared at my screen, at the text I sent Zayden over four hours ago. He still hadn't replied and he wasn't answering my calls. Zayden doesn't stay out late. It was already 3 pm and he wasn't back. I called the office and the security said he hadn't returned to the office. A company dinner shouldn't last till overnight, right? What kind of dinner was that anyway? I sighed, I baked cake and some cookies to surprise him. I wanted him to try it, and that was why I stayed up late waiting for him. I tried calling again but still no answer. Finally giving up, I lay under the covers and went to sleep. The next morning i called him again but still no answer. Should I be worried? Maybe. He's a grown-ass man but also a married man,and knowing Zayden; he has never stayed out past 11. I got dressed and had breakfast while hoping I'll hear him drive in. The clock ticked, and it was already 10, but still no sign of him. I got tired and decided to g

Chapter: Chapter 55Zayden It took exactly five seconds for the door to open. And that five seconds for me to button up my shirt and shove Lillain under the desk. The manager of Hale, Wilder, walked in, His eyes widening as he looked me up and down. Sage scrutinized the environment, her face turning red from anger before she excused herself. I'm pretty sure I look like a complete mess. My shirt was buttoned unusually, my hair tossed to all corners, and my breathing unstable with sweat coating my skin. My dick hurt because I had to hold in the orgasm and Lillian's mouth still around my cock wasn't helping matters. " It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Kent." He stepped forward, extending his hands for a handshake. Fuck! I can't stand up. My pants were halfway down my legs. " Stay where you are!" It came out as a yell. Wilder paused in his tracks and I bite down on my lips. I cleared my throat awkwardly." It's nice to meet you." For the first time, I was disoriented. I reached down un

Chapter: Chapter 54Zayden Lillian walked into our office with an ice cream cup filled to the brim in her hand. She said she was craving ice cream all of a sudden so I ordered her favourite. There was a spoon in her mouth, with little cream smeared on her cheeks. She looked better. She had added weight. Her ass was bigger and rounder. Her boobs remained the same but her thighs were thicker and curvier. I drool every single time I stare at her body. Her skin was glowing and as white as snow, even her hair had gotten longer, almost touching underneath her ass. It's been three months and I could see the effect of my money on her. She's a big spender. I'm not complaining; as long as it makes her happy, then I'm spending every single penny I have on her. She spends a lot on food, unlike most women who'd rather have expensive jewellery and clothes. That's one thing I love about her. Plus, she's bad at choosing her clothes. I know her size, so I get the clothes for her myself, except when her b

Chapter: Chapter 53Lillian The air was heavy with smoke and burning flesh. My throat was sore from throwing up too much. Noah was alive but deeply injured. Only one of the four bodyguards had survived. I watched from high up in the window with a thick blanket wrapped over my shoulders.He was burning the bodies. He didn't call the cops, he carried the bodies to the backyard and burnt them. I don't know if he felt the gravity of the situation we were in like I did. I should tell the cops, killing people was wrong and illegal. But I wasn't stupid. We also could not call this self-defence. He waited for the bones to turn to ash before packing them into black plastic bags. He threw the bag in the trunk and then drove off to dispose of the bodies, taking Noah and the guards with him, Probably to the hospital.I went back into the bedroom and waited for him to return.Who should I be more afraid of?Tyrell, who could and would hurt me, but he was still far away, or Zayden, who killed three men
