" 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 MoreZayden We spent half an hour trying to shake off the cops.They were very persistent and chased us around town. We managed to take down two of their cars, but no casualties were obtained. And then, finally, we lost them. " I think we should shift the rescue to tomorrow night." Oliver suggested." Hell, no! I'm getting my wife back today!" I countered.Oliver did the face slap." It's almost daybreak. The journey to Delaware would be a long one, and then it would be broadcast tomorrow morning that an inmate broke out of his cell." " Then we better start now," I added, walking over to the back of the van to change my bloodied clothes. Oliver had successfully removed the bullet manually and stitched me up. I had to force myself to think of Lillian's boobs so I wouldn't pass out from the pain.Oliver sighed but didn't say anything more. " Let's run over the plan then," I spoke up, gathering all the men together." The search starts from here," I said pointing at an old manor. "It's
Zayden The hands of the clock ticked very slowly. I didn't sleep, I stayed up and counted each second. It kept ticking, each second felt like an hour. Five...four....three...two...one!Midnight.I walked over to the bars, there was a camera right in front of my cell. It was in every cell in the precinct. My eyes were glued to it, waiting for the blinking red light to switch off. I waited while glancing at the clock at intervals. The officers that went on patrol would be back by 2pm so I had two hours to break out of this place. A minute passed and nothing happened. I began pacing; it's just a minute, right? Maybe Blondie got jammed with something. He can't possibly back out, I'm giving him six hundred fucking dollars. My hands were jerking uncontrollably. I glanced at the clock again; five minutes had passed, and I could still see that blinking red light from the cameras. I tugged my hair, I'll wait a little longer. I don't want to have to resort to drastic measures.I double
Zayden Just like I predicted, Thomas was found dead the next morning. It was broadcast on the radio that he was brutally murdered in his home at 1 pm last night. The surviving wife and child were taken into police custody immediately, and a thorough search for Tyrell was set in motion. Once again Tyrell left his signature in the gory scene. The state was in an uproar. The police began night patrol but I knew that wouldn't stop him. The police needed extra forces, so the officers in the precinct were reduced by, half, which thankfully was to my advantage. At night, half the officers would go out for patrol to protect their citizens, and that's when I'd break out I have about eight hours before nightfall. I'd lie if I said I wasn't nervous butt at this point, I couldn't care less. The only problem I was faced with was getting the keys from Blondie. He would keep watch tonight, I planned on bribing him, but there's a fifty per cent chance that it would work. I'll just have to
Zayden Aiden was soaring high. He was making a name for himself in my place. I was forced to listen because that stupid blondie refused to turn off the radio. I didn't complain after; at least I got to know what was happening in the outside world. Aiden launched a project, and it gained fame; he received praise here and there. The press was all over him, some releasing articles saying The company has doubled its assets since Aiden stepped in. Apart from that, the news was boring. I had sent another message to my dad through Oliver. He refused to see me and asked that I be patient till the day before my trial which was eleven days from now. I'm not a patient man.I had no choice but to fall back to breaking out of prison. Don't get me wrong, I haven't done this before, and I still have no idea how I am going to go about it. I've seen a few movies, so breaking out of prison shouldn't be that hard right?Wrong!It's as hard as hell, even with the blueprint at the back of my min
Zayden I was kept in a cell. I would be transferred to Fox River prison if I was found guilty two weeks from now.It's not that I don't trust my lawyer, the worst that could happen would be me getting locked up but with a reduced sentence, Maybe forty years.I cringe at that thought, it wouldn't bother me so much if Lillian was coming to see me.But the fact that she still hadn't been found was eating me up from the inside.My plan failed; I couldn't get my father to talk, and I cursed myself for it.I still had another chance before my trial which was in two weeks. I sent a message to my father asking for us to meet privately.He at first refused but then sent in his response just yesterday. The only problem was that he would grace me with his presence a day before my trial. I can't wait that long.I can't wait two weeks before I get out of here, Lillian needs me. I paced my cell, tugging on my hair. I was slowly losing my mind. I pushed myself up against the bars, banging on th
Lillian. I used my fingers to detangle my messed up hair while staring at my reflection through the water in the bowl Falco brought me a while ago.I bite down on my lower lip suppressing the sob that threatened to fall out. My hair was barely shoulder length and cut irregularly. I've never felt this much rage in my entire life. That painful urge to pick up a fork and stab it through that bitche's eye was eating at me.Yes, I was helpless but I knew I would get rescued and these fuckers would pay.I'll personally shave every single hair off her scalp with my bare hands.I wasn't too surprised when she walked in yesterday, at first she had a mask on her face but her swollen tummy gave her away.That look in her eyes was like she had already won. I didn't do anything stupid and just remained quiet till I was taken back to the basement.Now here I was preparing for the night.Falco came in placing the bowl of rice on the floor. It's the same old rice and eggs but thankfully no apple t
Zayden Dressed in a black Armani three-piece suit, he stood before the podium, cameras flashing their lights in all directions." You're going to be in the newspaper tomorrow, Zay." Oliver chortled.I shrugged."I guess I'm getting famous." My father cleared his throat, and then a drained expression formed on his face. I've known him long enough to know when he was faking an act. Right now, he was faking it." It's with utmost sorrow that I stand before you here today. I should have addressed this issue sooner instead of letting it lie low till now." He began, his eyes looking over the crowd. " As a citizen of this great country, I must abide by the laws of our land, and an outlaw remains an outlaw regardless of whether he or she is a family member or not." He paused, using a napkin to wipe the sweat off his face."The news of my son's crimes must have circulated by now. Some of you have questioned my credibility and the credibility of my assets. The revelation has been a great blo
ZaydenIt's been four days!Four fucking long days.I paced the room, my hand tugging my hair violently. I went back to where Oliver was tapping away at the keyboard. " Anything?" I asked for the tenth time now.I heard him sigh." Nope! There's no trace of the van." I clenched my fists tightly, I was going crazy every second. The van which abducted my wife was last seen at Bridgeton.The cops took two fucking days to find it, and then they couldn't do anything past there. If I owned a police station, I'd burn down the place, including those incompetent jerks in uniforms. I took matters into my own hands and began the search myself along with Oliver. So far, progress has been slow. There was no facial ID, not even a glimpse of the driver. The only lead we had was the van's plate number, which was last seen in Bridgeton. Whoever they were, it was either they dumped the vehicle at Bridgeton to lure us away from the initial location, or we were not just looking deep enough. My fir
Lillian The sound of something crashing softly on the dusty wooden floor woke me up. I yawned, I didn't even realize when I dozed off. I looked up to see Falco, tossing a blanket on the bed he just dropped." You should be thankful you're not sleeping on the floor." He gnarled, his eyes glaring at me. The bed wasn't big but it should fit my body. At least it was better than crouching on the floor. "Now, we are going to make a deal." He crouched down to my level. I nodded, I barely had the strength to move my limbs right now, and I needed rest. " Good. I won't tie you up and you'll behave. Do not try to escape, it's for your own good. Ryker wouldn't be as lenient next time." So that scard man was Ryker. Where the hell did they even get those weird names. Obviously, I won't name my child Blox or Krovak. I only nodded, and then he grabbed my hands, his stare pinning me in place." I'm serious. Think about your child before you do anything stupid." I swallowed and slowly n
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 ...
