HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty two : she's my wife"Looking for this?" Thundered a voice behind her for Lilly to make an abrupt turn in it's direction to see Cesar standing there with her phone in hand.Ever so Quickly, she reached for her phone grabbing it from his hand and also placing a good amount of distance between them.Cesar who had found the phone amongst the heap of clothing on the ground furrowed his brows at her, his head tilted to the side.Just then, the ringtone of her phone played indicating a call.With just a glance down, Lilly's heart skipped a beat up on seeing the caller's ID.It was her little darling Calling.Apologizing in her heart, she quickly went to cut the call and even when it rang again, she did the same.Soon after, the place fell silent drowning both of them in it."With your actions, one would think you are hiding something" his steps towards her echoed his movements which was calm with a stagnant gaze on her.His unnerving aura enveloped the place a
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty three : "EAT UP" His voice boomed in her ears, heart beat accelerated with fingers twitching at the weight of his words that felt like a heavy flow of force pushing her to the edge.The smile up her lips seemed to want to falter as they now looking faint."Can't eat?" Questioned Cesar up on noticing her hesitation.His eyes seemed to be noticing her every single details her face expressed.From her slightly wavering smile extended down to the lines that creased her brows.A sense of certainty now lingered in his eyes.Taking a deep breath in, Lilly's lips parted to speak."We I'm not a fan of sea food so I rather not have it" she politely declined earning herself a hard stare from him."It would be a shame to see such fine food go to waste besides Lilly never did like sea food. It's such a coincidence you don't like it as well" his words said to her were indirect but straight to the point.His chin rested on his hand.He was testing her.Knowing fully
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter one(A wedding without a groom)In the full length mirror, Lilly stood, the makeup on her face radiated her beauty Making her look like an angel.But she was no angel, they didn't believe she was an angel instead they called her a murderer's daughter.They thought she deserved nothing but death.But behind the makeup done on her face, her sorrows were seen.Though she never cried when words were thrown her way but she couldn't deny the fact that it still hurt.But the first time she had let her guard down by letting her emotions run loose was at the death of her father.The incident played in her head every single day and night.Each time she walked the streets, she would tremble for it was on the street she lost an important person in her life. It was in the cold freezing night the accident occured, the screeching sound of a truck accompanied by a loud bang filled the air and in that moment, a body dropped along the wet streets with a loud thud."Dad!" She y
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter two But there was no groom.It wasn't a surprise to Lilly that he hadn't shown up.The corners of her lips curved up into a smile, she wasn't laughing at him.No, she was laughing at herself. She very well knew he was making her the laughing stock of the city but she still showed up.The once infamous daughter of William Smith now turned to a ridicule. "Where's the groom?" Asked the priest in front of her but no words left her lips.Her fingers dug into the piece of fabric, throat aching from trying resist the tears that threatened to form. "Young lady..." said the priest only to be interrupted when she spoke. "He isn't coming" She said for the priest to somewhat look surprised, a sigh leaving his lips as he shook his head at how pitiful the lady looked.Lilly could hear their laughter echoing round the hall, although her gaze was stationed in front of her, she could feel their stares and their fingers pointing at her.The mocking glint In their eyes.L
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter three "CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR PREGNANT" announced the doctor. In the dark night which was enveloped by a heavy rain, a flash of lightening split through the open sky illuminating a pale face.There, Lilly Donavon sat, her mind loss for words with eyes wide open in surprise. Although his words were loud and clear enough, Lilly couldn't help but ask as a dumb founded Expression mered her face. "What? How?" "I said you are pregnant. Two months to be precise" He said flashing her a smile but wasn't reciprocated by Lilly who could feel her heart pounding in her chest.She couldn't be pregnant.How?At first she had thought she was tired from work and all but looking at the test in her hand, it only confirmed the doctor's words were in deed true.This meant, she was pregnant for Cesar. It has been almost a year after her wedding which was quite a sensation in the city.Their mocking gazes and talks reduced by alot but the only thing that still remained the sam
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter four "I WANT A DIVORCE"At the words of Lilly, the atmosphere became a whole lot tensed as it triggered something deep in Cesar.Taking predatory steps towards her, he spoke. "I dare you to say it again" His words flowed, tone so calm but yet underneath was a terrifying aura to it.Lilly who noticed this shivered a bit. "I... I want a divor..." Right before Lilly could fully utter her words, she felt a dense pressure on her neck. "Who do you think you are asking for a divorce?You are no one, no body" he said not caring about the pressure he applied to her neck.His words enhanced Lilly's sad smile making her lips curve upwards. "Aren't you tired? Because I am.I'm tired of this hell called a marriage.Shouldn't you be happy you'll be free from me?Get to live your life the way you want to?" She asked, her words sounding a bit persuasive which only brought a scoff up Cesar's lips. "Tired? Who said I'm tired?Seeing you suffer everyday brings me joy.I p
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter five Now left all alone and drenched from the rain, she slowly made her way back to the house where she got her things.She knew she couldn't stay here.At least to give her mother time to process everything.With Cesar's action's, her hate towards him only increased. As she recked her brain on what to do, that's when she received a call from Sophie her friend.Her voice sounding in her ears when she picked up the call. "How are you doing Lilly?" She asked for silence to reign from her. "I'm not good. Please come pick me up" "Alright" That was all she said before she came rushing to her aid.In the car, silence reigned, Sofie who had arrived didn't say a word only looking at the disheveled state of her friend.Up on arrival back to her place, a glass of water was offered to Lilly. "Ready to talk now?" asked Sofie to receive a nod from her. "Is it Cesar? Did he do something this time?" A tinge of curiosity laced Sofie's voice but the words that left Li

HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty "LILLY"She heard him speak.The sight of him was unexpected making her gaze tremble as she stared at him.Why him?Why was he here?Various emotions ran through her mind, all of which she could pin point.Was it the sense of shock she felt at the moment that made her look as though she had seen a ghost or the fear that lingered in her that made her tremble.No!She needs to be calm, she couldn't show her feet.She told herself trying to make it possible.It took her hell to regain her posture and straightening her back, she placed a smile to her lips, her head tilted a bit to the side."Mister knows me?" She asked, her melodious voice rang out but not a word left Cesar's lips. Cesar's body tensed slightly, his impending gaze focused on her.The smile on Lilly's lips didn't falter as she kept it up as long as she could.Felix who approached Cesar standing behind him gazed at the people but when his eyes fell on Lilly, he too was beyond shocked.Every
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter NineteenFinally, it was the day of the company's anniversary.Standing in front of a full length mirror was Lilly who was all dolled up looking dashing as ever.From the makeup to the outfit she wore, everything was set in ornate perfection.When the final touches of the makeup was added to her face, her eyes quickly caught on to her reflection in the mirror where her glistening skin could be seen.

With her eyes now glued to the mirror, she couldn't help but admire herself."You look quite lovely ma'am" said the makeup artist she hired for a smile to cross her lips.In her moment of admiration, her phone rang out and behold it was her little darling Calling.Picking the call which was a video call, a loud gasp left Anna's lips, her hand
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter EighteenSilence enveloped the air to the extent a pin drop could he heard.The silence came to a halt when Aria spoke."What's wrong?" Concern laced her words seeing the look on Lilly's face."It's nothing. Let's go" she said. Shortly after, the engines ignited letting the car roll into the distance.That night, they all retired for the day leaving Lilly to herself.Her gaze landed on the envelope in which its contents were still the same.Today, she had earlier asked the driver to gain some information about a woman named Mrs Cynthia, her mother.She had told she could be able to refrain her self from wanting to know how she was but she guessed wrong.When the driver brought news forward, she couldn't help but want to tear up in tears as the information she had gotten stated how critical her situation was.It turned out that she had gotten a relapse and was currently in the hospital."Mum..." She muttered.***Later the next morning, she woke up feeling weak

She questioned to hear a sigh leave his lips."Fine, I'll wipe out the footage"At his words, a smile lit up her lips."Thank you"Ever since her little ordeal at the restaurant, Lilly couldn't help but feel unease even after telling Aria to lie on her behalf.From Aria's words, she could tell Cesar didn't quite believe her and more so, she wanted to eliminate every trace of her when she thought of the CCTV footage.She had no idea in dealing with these kinds of things and could only ask for help.It was then Sammy came to mind.

HIS DARK DESIRESChapter SixteenAs Cesar walked in with his people, he looked graceful in the suite he wore.With each step he took in, people couldn't help but stare in admiration at him.Hearts skipped multiple beats as some of them couldn't help but secretly take pics of him.His eyes scanned the section they were in but when he couldn't see sight of Luther, he yelled out."Luther Donavon" his voice was loud and deep startling most people in there.With a motion from Felix, the men behind him spread out for them to return whispering words into Felix ear before he relayed it to Cesar."He's in the other section" said Felix and almost immediately, they headed towards the next section.At last, he came to a stop on sighting Luther who sat down with a woman next to him, her face tilting downward where she tried to have a conversation with Luther.A sigh left Felix's lips on finding Luther safe and sound now his boss could finally relax because it seemed like With each passing day, it

He uttered and upon hearing his voice, the call immediately got disconnected.Now this made his gaze to darken, a strange Aura filled him.One choking and terrifying to everyone in the room as they felt the tension in the air."Boss..."
