Lillian "Thanks for driving me !" I waved at Aiden. "I could wait till you're done getting ready and then drop you off ." He spoke, getting out of the car. "Oh...no, it's fine . You've done enough". He faked a frown. " You don't want to invite me in ?" "I don't want to take your time; it's still early . I'm sure you have other things to do ". If only he knew I wanted him gone because I was too ashamed of where I lived. I know I shouldn't be; some people were homeless, but still, this was my boss's brother. I didn't want him to think any less of me. He remained silent for a few seconds. " Alright, I'll take a ride and be back in an hour. How about that ?" I chuckled. At least I'll get to save money so why refuse the offer?" Alright then, see you in an hour". He nodded and drove off. I ran to my apartment hoping Jade hadn't gone to work yet. I missed her call yesterday because my phone was on silent. The door was open, indicating she was still in. I breathed in relief as

Lillian " Oh, it seems like your boss's brother is here ", Jade said, pulling us apart. My eyes darted to the clock on the wall. It wasn't even an hour yet, so why was he here so soon?" Oh shit, I haven't even had my bath yet!" Jade rolled her eyes "Relax, Lily, we are not even sure if it's him. It might be the neighbours or maybe someone else. I'll go check". She left the next second and was back in a jiffy. "It's Nico, he's here to pick me up. I'll see you later, Lily." She squealed.And just like that. She picked up her bag and exited the room. I didn't even get the chance to ask when she was moving out.Just then, my phone made a beep sound. I picked it up to see a text from the almighty Mr Stone's face. He was requesting that I dress properly for the conference at 3:00 p.m.I rolled my eyes; if the conference was at 3:00 p.m., then why did I have to go to work before 10. Considering that I had worked overnight. Sighing, I went into the bathroom to have a bath, after which I

Lillian."Mrs Ace, are you sure you have something suitable to wear?". He said taking a turn on 9th street. We were 10 minutes from where I lived." Well, yes ".He glanced at me and then back at the road ahead. " If this turns out to be a waste of time, I'm subtracting 20 dollars from your pay ". I swallowed." It's that black dress I wore on my second day ". The car immediately came to a halt and if I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, my head would have crashed on the glove box."Why did you stop so suddenly!". I shrieked in annoyance.He didn't even apologize; he just turned the car around and sped off."Where are you going now!" He remained silent. I finally snapped. " I hope you remain dumb forever". He finally turned in my direction, slowing down a little. His left brow was twitching indicating agitation."You are not dressing like a high school girl going clubbing to the conference !". I wanted to say something to counter his words, but I was at a loss. After a few minutes, we

Lillian" Mrs Ace ?" "Yes, Zayden ". I said wriggling my brows at him.You should see the expression on his face. I had to stifle my laughter, even his ears turned red. He cleared his throat. " What did you do with all that food? ". I wasn't expecting him to ask about that. "I've been munching on them little by little ". " All by yourself?" I nodded. " Yep, do you want some . I could get some for you, it's indirectly yours too ". He sighed. " We're here ". I then realized that we had arrived at the conference. I suddenly tensed. There were a lot of expensive-looking people and cameras and a long red carpet at the entrance. The flashlight was blinding "Umm, am I to wait here ?".He scoffed." Then why did you come in the first place ".I swallowed as I got out of the car. I was having cold feet. The air alone seemed intimidating. " Relax, all you have to do is nod and smile". He assured me. We began walking towards the entrance when we were stopped by a high-pitched voice.

Zayden Grabbing her hand, I dragged her forcefully away from that piece of trash. I despise her interactions with Aiden, it makes my blood boil. " Let go of me !" She tried freeing herself from my grip, but I wasn't going to stop till we were away from the crowd. I dragged her upstairs and onto the balcony of the hall.I finally let go of her hand, watching as she fumed."What is wrong with you !" She yelled freeing herself from my grip." I'm going to say this once ". I told her taking a step closer."Stay away from my brother !" She snorted." It's none of your business who I associate with ". I gritted my teeth." You are my secretary, not his; you are only allowed to spend nothing more than three minutes in his company". Crossing her hands over her chest, she flipped her hair over her shoulder." Care to explain why ?" "Because I said so !" She snickered, turning to leave." I'd rather keep company with someone who doesn't have anger issues"I grabbed her wrist, irritatio

Zayden I got up to take my leave, I had wasted enough time already. “Where did you think you're going, son?” “Anywhere but here,” I replied coldly. Aiden snorted.“let him go, Dad, no one is going to love a deranged psychopath.” I let the waves of anger coursing through my body take control of my reflexes and the next second. My fists were right on his face. I punched him so hard that my knuckles hurt. I was breathing heavily as I watched blood slip down his nose and lips. “Zayden!”My Father yelled, rushing over to his side just like he always does. I wanted to hit him again, but Sage had grabbed my hand.“Zay! Calm down.” I freed myself from her loose grip, turning on my heels to exit the room. “Zayden!”My father called making me pause in my tracks. “I should have sent you to therapy; you are becoming a monster. You just made your brother bleed!”He yelled. Aiden coughed, spitting blood on the black carpet.“It's okay dad, it's not the first and probably won't be the last.

ZaydenI stepped on the gas; the faster I got home, the better. I had turned the mirror away from her or I might end up running into a tree. Her white dress was lying on the passenger seat beside me, which only meant she was in nothing but her underwear. The thought of her half-naked made heat rise to my ears. From the first day, I laid my eyes on her when she bumped into me, her red hair and freckles caught my attention. I won't lie to myself, I'd been attracted to her since then, but I masked it every day with my usual cold and indifferent personality. I don't do love, but I sure as hell want her in my bed. Her little snores filled the silence as I drove down the highway. It took twenty minutes to finally arrive at my house and then I was faced with another problem - Getting her out of the car.She was half naked, assuming I was a gentleman, I should show her some respect and not sneak glances at her body. But I'm the complete opposite, every nerve in

Lillian The throbbing pain woke me up. I knew this pain all too well.Hangover.This was why I hated drinking. The only thing I remembered was sipping more glass of that delicious wine than an average person should and now it feels like my head was about to fall off. I sat up and took in my surroundings. This wasn't my room, my room was three times smaller than this. This place was screaming luxury. I don't know where I was or whose house this was.There was only one way to find out. Trudging towards the door, I came across a lobby. It was spacious and grey. The tile was pitch black. Whoever lived here loved dull colours. I kept walking till I found myself in the kitchen.“ you're finally awake ?” The hair on my back stood erect as the voice filled my eardrums.Slowly I turned to meet my boss. He was wearing a plain t-shirt and grey sweatpants. He looked different, he looked extra handsome. His muscles clung to the shirt like magnets. He raised a brow, a sly smile on his

Lillian This was a family dinner so I didn't understand why Sage and Oliver were here. The dining room was filled with silence, the atmosphere colder than the Arctic. The bond between father and sons was terrible. They barely acknowledged each other's existence. Sage was the one trying to make small talk but snapped her mouth shut after no one paid attention to her. I, on the other hand, was busy trying to be a good daughter-in-law. I set the table with the butlers and here I was filling my fiancé's plate. He was staring at me as I dished salad into his plate. Suspicious that I was acting sweet all of a sudden after giving him the cold shoulder just hours ago. " Don't worry, I didn't poison it. There are many ways to get back at you other than poison." I whispered and left his side. He stared at the salad before picking up his fork. A small smile crept on my face. Take note ladies, there are many ways to get back at a man. His expression changed as soon as

Lillian I've been standing here for over fifteen minutes now." If you don't give me the templates, then I'll just tell Zayden you refused orders." She hissed." Look at you being all sassy. Don't forget your place, Lillian." I hummed." My place is right above you." I pointed at her, a sly smile on my lips. It feels good to be superior. I know I'm being unreasonable right now. We were not even married yet, and here I was already giving orders, but I didn't care. " Look for the template yourself." She snarled. I shrugged." Have it your way then; I'll just simply tell Zayden that you refused his order." She hesitated before digging into her shelf."Here you go." She handed over the Files that Hale Corp rejected. I smirked." I'm going to be your boss soon, do show a little respect." She cursed at me." You should be ashamed. You're sleeping with your boss. You're a whore.” I chuckled." I'm sleeping with both brothers. That's why they're all over me. I won't be surprised if t

Lillian He immediately bucked, letting go of my neck to grab my hands that were tightly clutching his dick behind his pants. I coughed, trying desperately to catch my breath. Zayden just strangled me, he strangled me and slammed me on the desk. This only shows he had no regard for me at all. " I told you to walk away." I gritted my teeth, tightening my grip on his dick. He sucked in a huge breath, the anger slowly disappearing from his face." Let go right now!" I heard bending a man's cock in a certain way can cause pain especially if erect. He hurt me so I'll hurt him too. " I told you that whenever you feel angry, walk away! Walk the fuck away! Calm yourself then we'll talk rationally!" I blurted out. He raised his eyes to look at me, then down to my cheeks which were soaked with tears. Remorse written all over his face, he must have miraculously realized what he did. Oh, now he was back to the normal Zayden. " Lillian....." He breathed. I shook my head." Remo

Lillian I was jolted up by a loud bang. I put down my phone which I was using to watch a movie. Another one of the advantages of marrying your boss. You'll get to do next to nothing while his jealous bitch of a receptionist does all the work. I took pride in it, my ordering Helena around was satisfying, especially the look on her face. " Zayden?" I called, walking over to his desk. He was standing in front of the polished table, his hands clutching the desk tightly. He had his head bowed, so I could not see his face but I could see how he breathed heavily. How sweat tossed down his dark hair. How the muscles in his biceps flexed and how his jaw ticked. " Zayden, are you okay?” I stepped closer, adamant to know why he banged the door roughly like that. He raised his head, his gaze pinning me in place. His eyes had darkened and he stared at me with that same look he had when we first met. I suddenly tensed, the temperature dropping drastically. I sensed fury, I k

Zayden I opened the door for her, my eyes never leaving hers. It's not something I usually do but I just can't help it. Her cheeks turned pink." This is the first time you're opening the door for me. Did you perhaps hit your head on something?" I was shocked at what I did." I'm trying to be a gentleman,here." She chuckled." We both know you're not." I shrugged, getting into the driver's seat. We just left the registry. We were now married, I somehow found it hard to believe but she signed the papers. I had expected it would be difficult to convince her but here we were. There was this bubbly feeling that had been messing with my thinking since last night. She was yet to sign the contract, though. According to her, She would make the rules, and I was to oblige. " Wait, do not tell anyone we are married. No one can find out about this." She grasped, worry written all over her pretty face. I took a left turn, heading for the office." As long as my dad doesn't request a w

Lillian The first thing I noticed was how tall Zayden was, he had to bend to pass through the door. And then someone followed behind him, shorter but he occupied space. I stiffened, my fingers trembling slightly. Why was he here?He smiled at me." Lillian, it's been so long." I gritted my teeth; how could he be so jovial after everything he put me through? " I told Victoria it was you I saw being rushed into the ward but she wouldn't believe me." He chimed. "What do you want?" I said, cooly.Jade and Zayden were watching. Jade had only heard fragments of stories about my foster family, but Zayden knew nothing, and I wanted it to remain that way. He glanced around." If we could have some privacy." I nodded at Jade. She nodded back and left, but Zayden remained sitting. I saw the hesitation in his eyes. He didn't trust Thomas to be alone with me. I won't blame him, my father had the face of a criminal. " Come on, Zayden, I need to speak with my daughter," Thomas spoke with

Lillian I opened my eyes to darkness. My back hurt, my legs were numb and I couldn't move my hands. I groaned, my body felt extremely heavy. I tried taking in my surroundings; despite the darkness, it felt familiar. Where was I? A noise startled me; I turned in the direction of the sound. Footsteps started approaching. I attempted to stand then I realised I was tied to a chair. I tugged violently, hoping to loosen the rope a little, but it was no use; they were the size of my palm. I tried calming my breathing but they came out loudly. The lights were turned on, almost blinding me and causing my vision to blur a little. I couldn't make out the silhouette in front of me immediately. Slowly, my vision returned; there was a man. He stood tall and broad. I couldn't see his face because his head was almost touching the light bulb casting a bright light on his face. " Sweetheart I've missed you." He spoke. I froze. I recognised that voice. He raised my chin to l

ZaydenShe trembled, her knees jerking violently. "Hey, are you okay?" I reached for her but she stumbled backwards, knocking over the wine glass that was on the island and onto the floor. The first tear trickled down her cheeks as she grasped violently. She was losing balance, I did not understand what was happening. My first thought was that she might be asthmatic with the way she was grasping violently for air."Lillian, calm down. Breathe, breathe okay!"I held her shoulders but they were stiff and cold. Her whole body was stiff." Noah!" I had no idea what was happening but it was freaking me out. Her whole body started jerking erratically. She slipped out of my hold and stumbled on the floor right into the broken wine glass. "Fuck! Lillian calm down!" I ran to her side immediately, trying to lift her but she was shaking damn too hard. Her whole body was sweaty as tiny cries left her lips. I cursed "Lillian, look at me." I held her face, trying to get her attention b

Lillian "You are not supposed to be in the kitchen, Miss," Noah complained for the hundredth time. I glanced at him and continued making dinner. "I find more joy in eating the food I made." He mumbled something but remained silent. When I was done, I set the table and sat to eat. It was almost nine and Zayden hadn't come out of his room. I didn't even know he had left the office I only asked that he leave my space, not the damn building. Noah cleared his throat and I glanced at him." what?" He had been standing there and giving me the strangest look ever. He hesitated but eventually spoke." I don't know what's going on between you two but I think you should let it slide, that's if he had properly apologized." I sighed, reaching for my wrist that didn't hurt anymore. I knew I was dragging this out too long. How long has it been, four days? Five? I was angry that he thought so low of me, a part of me bitter that he only wanted my body, as for my wrist. It didn'
