Lillian I stroked the last item on my budget list, a three-carat diamond tennis bracelet gotten from Italy. This was the most expensive jewellery in my shop, and yeah, I'm selling it off to the highest bidder. The business has been great, and now I have to restock every Saturday due to the high demand for my exquisite jewellery. I employed Brenda as my personal assistant. So far, she's a bubbly fellow, hiding the sadness in her eyes every day with a smile. She goes to pick up Frederick by two and then he'll stay at my office till evening. He was no longer shy around me, always running around, scattering my documents or pulling at my dress when he wanted uppies. And today was not any different; he was sitting on my lap in my office, sipping on apple juice as we both watched the news. It's been three days since Aiden's arrest, and the media hasn't failed to broadcast it every single day. Kent Tech was now without an heir leaving the public with uncertainty on who was go
Zayden Silence. Silence and darkness lingered in my cell. The Silence enveloped me every single day to the point that It was suffocating. There was only one light bulb, dimly lit. I didn't bother counting how many days I had been here. It would only add to my frustration. These four walls and the deafening silence reminded me of nine-year-old me. How I would sit in my room till the Sun goes down with nothing to do. How I would stare out the window and wish I could go out or at least feel the wind on my face instead of the cold air conditioner. How I would get so bored and start smashing things or how I would punch the wall just to get myself to feel something even if it was pain. My father didn't even bother dropping at least a text message or phone call. He just dumped me in that house and left me there. The last thing he told me was that when it's time he'll let me out and that I needed to pay for what I did. It's sickening. It was like I was reliving my chil
Zayden I don't remember much but I knew he always fought with my mother. I was too young to understand what they were always quarrelling about. But now, I was beginning to get a clearer picture. "I had a vasectomy in my early twenties. Your mother doesn't know about it, and neither did I attempt to tell her until she broke the news of her pregnancy to me." He continued. " I was filled with rage because it only meant that she had cheated on me. I initially wanted a divorce, but she begged me not to because the Shame and degradation that would follow was too much. So I thought better of it." He stood up, picked up his golden cane, and strolled off to the window. "Laura was the heir to her family business, and as her husband, it's only customary that I take full control, especially if she was with child." He turned to face me, a sly smile on his lips. "So I had a deal with her. She would hand over her family business to me and I would take you in as mine." He stroll
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 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 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 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 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
Zayden Five months later I was going through the documents for our project, the expansion of our jewellery shop. I had built another branch in California, and now I'm constructing another in New York. The jewellery shop was making waves; It got to the point that I now had to start shipping in new jewellery every two days. Oliver was still the CEO of Kent Tech. Lillian had tried convincing me to take it back; it was rightly mine anyway, but I refused. Besides, Oliver was handling it pretty well. For me, going back there felt suffocating, like I was offering myself over to my father's clutches again. I preferred running the jewellery shop with Lillian, and I have big plans for our business. I'll leave the company to Oliver and Jade. Speaking of which, they were getting married because Jade got pregnant. I knew she would get pregnant eventually from the start because, obviously, they weren't careful enough, and Oliver was also a horny freak like Me. Now, I'm the one giving
Zayden There on the notice board was my name written in bold. I could not hold back my joy. I'm now a freeman. I can finally go back home and be with my wife.I'll make it to Laura's first one-year birthday. Unfortunately, my roommate didn't make it, and he didn't seem bothered about it." Congratulations, man, your efforts have finally paid off. I'm going to miss you a little." He spoke patting my shoulders.I was still in disbelief, my chest was heaving up and down. I can't wait to surprise Lillian. She would probably break down in tears once I told her the news. We were taken back to our cells and ordered to pack our stuff which was nothing much.The next morning, my release papers were being finalised, and I was told that it would take three days for everything to be processed. The wait was worth it, and while I waited, I shaved my beards off, and I bid my cellmates goodbye. Most of them were jealous while others were happy for me. I was put under surveillance on the day of
Lillian Aiden had rejected my visit twice, he was making it hard for me to keep my promise to Zayden.I don't know if he was overly weighed down with guilt or if he simply still hates my existence. Anyway, today was another day to try again.This would be the last time that I would come here, and if he still refuses to see me, then I'm giving up on him. To my surprise, he accepted, and I was led to the visitation room that had a glass wall dividing my box from his. I guess that's how chronic criminals were kept. Aiden was brought in a minute later and the first thing I did was take in his features. He looked the same only that he had grown thick beards and had a few scars on his face.Why do prisoners even grow beards? It must have been tough there for him. He sat on the other side and picked up the telephone.I spoke first." It's been a while Aiden." He raised his eyes to meet mine, and for once, I saw the friend I had in him. The friend I thought I could confide in when things
Zayden I went back to my cell with a smile on my face and a satisfied dick. Now I had even more zeal to push harder and get that parole. I'm going to get it at all costs. I did every single task I was instructed to. I avoided fights, a lot of them and bore insults from some proud bastard inmates. I just want to leave this place soon or I might lose my sanity. The days rolled by again, and finally, news got out that the selection had been made, and we would either go in batches to the front yard because, according to my roommate, they paste the list of people who had been chosen on a wide notice board in the front yard. But other times, they call them out of their cells to prevent a stampede because, eventually, everyone wants freedom. This time around, the names were pasted in the front yard, and our warden announced that we would go in batches to check. My blood thrummed in anticipation and agony. If my name appears there then I'm finally a free man. I kept fidgeti
Lillian I don't think I can even remember my name. He had turned me into a hot, shuddering, and slippery mess.He pounded Into me harder than before and a loud moan escaped my lips. Drool slipped down my open mouth as my breast bounced up and down.Zayden groaned harder." Fuck....that's it. Milk my cock baby." I arched my back further and spread my legs out as far as they could go.I wanted to feel him deep in my cunt, so deep that I would feel it in my throat.He pushed his hard length into me again and I nearly lost myself." Harder...fuck me harder." I cried, the pleasure so thick and heavy that it made my legs quiver underneath me.A deep growl emanated from his throat as he flipped me around to face him." On your knees." He commanded, his eyes spitting a fiery fire.I looked up at him confused." What are you....." I didn't get to finish my sentence when he shoved my shoulders down and I landed on my knees.His cock stood outright on my face, inches away from my lips. I then un
ZaydenMy 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
