" 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. **** Lillain's life is a delicate mess.

view moreZaydenMy breathing had doubled as we made our way inside the restroom. I was already salivating like an animal. I won't lie; I went to bed sometimes fantasizing about sex with Lillian. It got me hard and unbelievably horny. It's frustrating not being able to get a release, so most times, I suppress my desires, but right now, I'm letting it all out.We stopped in front of the mirror, and our eyes jammed; I saw the heated gaze in her eyes.She licked her lips and it ignited a fire that had slightly damped in me.I pulled her in immediately and we locked lips. She hummed as I dived deeper into her mouth. I ran my fingers into the locks of her hair, savouring the taste of her mouth.God! I missed this.My hands slide down to squeeze my favourite part of her body.I groaned at the feel of her breast; it had grown bigger, probably due to breastfeeding, and also softer."Damn, Lilly. I've daydreamed about this moment so many times." I hummed, picking her up and pushing her against th
Zayden The days passed so slowly. I had carried such a heavy weight on my shoulders till this very moment. How did I survive these last twelve months in solitude and without Lillian? I spent my time being on good behaviour and obeying every single instruction the officers gave. Don't get me wrong, life in prison isn't something you should wish for. And it also isn't for the weak. There had been about two to three suicide cases each month. What kept me going was the thought that I had a wife and daughter to go home to, unlike my roommate, who had no one outside these walls. I don't know how he managed to crack jokes each day and interact with other inmates but his outspokenness gave me some solace. At least I got the chance to get my mind off my predicament and enjoy some good company. I did learn a thing or two from the people here. Half the population of Inmantes claimed to have been wrongly accused. I believed it because the guilty ones bragged about their crimes every chance
Lillian Time flew by so slowly that I could count each wavering second. Every day felt like the wind; of course, I had Jade, Oliver and Noah, but I still felt that absence.That hollow feeling like there was a wormhole in my belly. Like a missing piece to a puzzle. Like I can't breathe yet air passes in and out of my nostrils.Laura had been discharged and she was a hefty baby. She Cries a lot and makes faces whenever she feels like it.It's been a year since Zayden's imprisonment, and he hasn't been granted bail, nor has he been granted any form of visitation.It wasn't until last week that he was finally allowed to get visits, and so, for the first time, I'm going to the Fox River Prison to pay my husband a visit.He would be surprised how much Laura had grown, and the striking resemblance they shared.She had grey eyes and a troublesome personality. Always clawing at my clothes or pulling at my hair. And then she would crawl on the floor, scattering her toys and a whole lot
Lillian Just when I thought we already had victory. Just when I thought we could finally be happy and be together. Now, it all came crashing back down. Ten years! I blinked rapidly. Maybe this was all a dream, and I'll wake up anytime soon. But it wasn't! Jade tapped my finger, interlacing her fingers with mine." They are kidding, right? I crooked, another tear escaping my eyelid. The judge stood to his feet, ready to take his leave. I looked over the crowd frantically. The cops were already moving to take Zayden away. He lost his freedom because of me, because he broke out of prison to save me. No ...it can't end like this. We have to do something. I looked over at Oliver who seemed to be in a daze, complete disbelief all over his face. The next moment, I stood to my feet; if no one was going to do anything, then I would. I don't care if I was obstructing justice or not; my husband can't spend 10 years in prison for coming to rescue me from kidnappers. " Wait! " M
Zayden The Present... Just a little longer, I'll allow that godforsaken lawyer to exhaust all accusations against me first. Oliver and I exchanged glances and a small smile appeared on my lips. He tapped my lawyer beside him and whispered something into his ears. I flexed my muscles relaxing further into the cushion. I have a confession to make! I know I made my story sound so sad, hopeless and all that shit, but it was all a ruse. Just hear me out ... Four days ago, Oliver had set up the camera and bugs in the manor at Brigantine. There was no telling where we would meet so he installed cameras in all corners of the house. How did I know he would take me to Brigantine? Well, it was pretty simple, and all thanks to my wife and Oliver. God! I don't know what I'll do without that woman. She told me almost a week back that one of the officers owed her a favour because she risked her life to get Tyrell arrested and so she struck a deal with him with the
Lillian Four days ago... I fidgeted with the hem of my sleeve as I waited for the officer to enter the office. Oliver patted my shoulders." Relax, if this doesn't work out then we will fall back to plan B." My head whipped around to look at him." Plan B of Zayden pleading guilty?" My head hurts; these last few days, I've had sleepless nights trying to find missing pieces to help Zayden, coupled with the fact that I have to go to the hospital and spend at least three hours with Laura. Oliver sighed." That's why it's a plan B, so chill. Innocent people always get justice." I crooked a brow, a scoff escaping my lips." Oh really? Walter Swift was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Ray Twoler too, and then there's Kirk Bloodsworth. They all got sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes they didn't commit." Oliver rolled his eyes." All three people you mentioned got exonerated and got the justice they deserved." I turned my chair to face him pro
Zayden Unfortunately, our intimacy had to be cut short because the trial was about to start. I only managed to tell her fragments of what I heard from my father, there wasn't enough time to tell her all of it. Lillian left first, her eyes brimming with another round of fresh tears. She was crying because of me again. I hate seeing her like this and it would only become worse if I was found guilty. She was suffering emotionally and I hated it. I want her to be happy always, but at this rate, I'm only going to continue causing her pain. Ten minutes later I was standing before a crowd of people, my left hand on the bible, reciting the oath. Funny how this many people came to see my downfall. I couldn't even recognize some of them. My father was seated among them, in the front row of seats, a relaxed expression on his face. Loren was right beside him, as always, staring at me with an amused expression on his face. After taking the oath, I was ordered to sit, and the trial beg
Lillian My eyes searched through the crowd of people till I finally caught sight of Officer Bellick. He was the one in charge of bringing Zayden to court. Looks like the whole world had come to witness how my husband would be sentenced to life imprisonment. People were pathetic. During the time he was just Zayden the eldest son of Malo Kent, everyone respected him. The richest and almighty Zayden Kent. They all bowed their heads if he stepped into a building. They all gave him that respect; some even feared him. But the moment everything crashed, they all turned their heads away. People of this age and time want influential people, and the moment you fall, they'll all disappear, no matter how much good you have done. I squeezed myself through the dozens of people to get to Officer Bellick; I needed to see Zayden before the trial began. " Officer Bellick," I called as soon as I got close to his hearing range. He turned swiftly to search over the crowd. I finally g
Zayden I wrapped my hands around his neck, squeezing the breath out of him. " Do you realize what you did!" He tapped his fingers on my hand."Let go of me Zayden. The cops are outside, you don't want to add to the charges already on your shoulders." I gritted my teeth in anger." I'm going to jail for a crime you committed. What kind of man are you?" He tapped my hands again this time violently." Let go of me this instant or I'll call the cops." " You can try...they won't hear you." I tightened my grip, that dark side of me whispering in my ears to strangle the life out of him slowly. His face was already turning red, his legs buckling underneath him. I stared at him in the eyes, letting him see the anger on my face. And then suddenly, I let go ; he bent forward, coughing and trying to catch his breath. He thought he was safe because I was handcuffed but he thought wrong. When he was done catching his breath, he sat upright." Don't you want to hear the rest of th
Lillian I walked into the massive building, careful not to let the mud on my shoes stain the sparkling white tiles. I received an email yesterday that I had passed the job interview so here I was on my first day as a secretary. Walking over to a lady behind the reception, I gave her a sweet smile. “ Umm, excuse me. I'm Lillian Ace." She grasped.“ Ohh, our new employee!” I nodded, still smiling even though my lips hurt. “Give me a minute,” she said then typed something on the computer before turning to face me again. She looked me up and down slowly with a smug smile on her face. I suddenly felt self-conscious. I was wearing a sunset yellow dress and a pair of white Stilettos. “ Is this how you dressed in your previous work?” She snarled. My previous work was at a café, I wore jeans every single day, but I wasn't going to blurt that out. “Well, it's decent enough."I retorted. She smacked her red painted lips shaking her head. “ Miss, we have a dress code here. All ...
