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 101Zayden I pulled the trigger as fast as I could, aiming at his hand holding the remote control. It flew out of his hand, a hole appearing on his palm. He grunted loudly, clutching the hand I just shot. If I had delayed for a second I'd probably be ashes by now. I trudged over to where the remote control was and picked it up, tucking it safely in my pocket. There's no way I'm letting him have it again. I stared at him on the floor, blood dripping down his hand and neck. I could end it right now and not be accountable for it. The cops had given me the go-ahead; I was doing this city a good if I shut him in the head right now, but what I didn't get was why the fuck I was holding back. I cursed silently, something was wrong. I could feel it, something was wrong with me. I placed my finger on the trigger and urged every fibre of muscle in my body to pull it, but I couldn't. He noticed my resistance." What's the matter? Don't want to get more blood on your hands." " Shut the

Chapter: Chapter 100 Zayden Ahh fuck! Fuck! I knew this was a bad idea from the start. I knew I was making a big mistake. We should have just waited for him to come to us, now we were stuck in the middle of nowhere with that bastard having the upper hand. Lillian stiffened; she didn't as much as moving a muscle. " I'm not going to repeat myself, Zayden. Disarm yourself." His voice echoed again. I scanned the room quickly as I reached for the revolver at the back of my pants. It was pretty dark here, and my best guess was that he was sitting in the hallway, which was directly opposite us. We can't see him but he can see us. I placed the revolver on the floor. He chuckled again."I know you're not dumb enough to come with just a revolver. If you don't want your pretty little wife swimming in a pool of her own blood, then take everything out!" I hesitated, and then my eyes fell on Lillian. He might actually shoot her so I brought out the knife I had in my pants and dropped it on the floor. " Th

Chapter: Chapter 99Lillian "I haven't told you my story, at least not all of it yet," Zayden spoke as we snuggled in bed. I ended up giving him a blow job after I got out of the bathroom. I only did that because, well he kind of seduced me. I didn't even realise I was already sucking his dick until I started choking. Sigh. That's what you get for marrying a perv and then that perv influenced you and corrupted your sweet little soul. " Are there still more stories to tell?" I pulled the covers so that we were both covered to our necks. " Not really but I might have left out a tiny detail." " What is it?" He turned to face me, his grey eyes boring into mine." My birth name is Reign, not Zayden." My pupils dilated. I remembered Aiden mentioned something of this sort." What? But Zayden is what everyone knows you as." He traced his fingers along my cheekbone." Yeah. My father changed the name on my birth certificate. It was around that time he locked me up. According to him, it would make it ea

Chapter: Chapter 98Lillian. I know, I know. I no longer have a flat tummy, and it was now filled with stretch marks coupled with a few scars that I had. " No, don't." Zayden breathed, walking over to me." Don't cover yourself up from me ever again." I couldn't meet his eyes. For a brief moment, I thought he would no longer find me attractive. I had stared at the mirror a couple of times; the pregnancy left a ton of stretch marks and my belly had only reduced in size a little. The doctor said it might not go away completely, but it would reduce to a considerable amount. As for the stretch marks, there are various essential oils I could use on them. " You are still the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes on. Those marks are a symbol of your strength; they are beautiful." He knelt down and placed a kiss on my belly. "And I don't mind if you never get a flat tummy back. Bitter truth? You won't" He raised an amused eyes to look up at me. I snarled." You were supposed to make me feel bette

Chapter: Chapter 97 Lillian. A few days later after Zayden was discharged and we went to visit Brenda again. This time she welcomed us warmly. I'm a woman so I know when a fellow woman is trying so hard to mask her emotions. I could see the eye bags under her eyes. I could sense the sorrow and grief she was trying so hard to hide. She probably had been thinking about how she was going to raise that little boy on her own. " What's his name?" I asked as I sat down on the couch with Zayden sitting beside me. The little boy was shy, as he kept hiding behind his mother. I got a good look at him once when Brenda pulled him to sit properly on the couch. He looked so much like Falco. " His name is Frederick." She replied a warm smile on her face. " Hi, Frederick." I gave the kid a playful smile. He lifted his small hand and waved at me. He didn't utter a word and just hid his face behind his mother's hand. " He's very shy around strangers," Brenda noted. It was cute though. "I came to thank you again.

Chapter: Chapter 96Lillian I pressed myself up against his chest so tightly that I heard him groan. " I know you missed me but You are going to reopen my wound." He breathed on my cheek. I shifted back immediately, my face wet from tears." Zayden!" I whimpered, my voice echoing in the room." I thought you were going to die, I thought you left me. You died!" He wrapped his hands around me." I did, but then I had a nightmare that ten years later, you remarried a blonde fucker and forgot about me. No way in hell am I letting that happen." I heard Oliver chuckle in the background, I couldn't help but laugh." Why did you do that again...you shouldn't have stepped in." He rolled his eyes." Are you seriously asking me that?" He placed both hands on my face, caressing my cheeks." I'll do anything for you even if it means dying." I burst into another round of tears as my heart warmed up. The relief I felt right now was so overwhelming. " You're weak, you wouldn't have survived it. And I have my child
