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

LillianMy life changed for the worse after we kissed. Zayden kissed me. Yes, he kissed me. And this was how it happened. I came to work that day in a good mood, Aiden had dropped me off that morning and zoomed off. We had a nice conversation, and I laughed a lot. I came into the office to meet a frowning boss.“He's dropping you off now? ” he had hissed at me as soon as I stepped in.“umm, well it was a kind gesture .” I don't even know why I was explaining myself. I don't need to.He got up and closed the distance between us.“He has been driving you home every day and dropping you off, is that what you call a kind gesture.”He seemed irritated, more like jealous.“well, yes.” I shrugged.He raised a brow, obviously not convinced.“what's your deal anyway? There's nothing wrong with your brother driving me home.” I furrowed my brows. Maybe if he had been nicer then he would be the one driving me home. He placed both hands on the wall behind me, our bodies merely inches apart

Lillian Helena didn't leave immediately, she stood behind the closed door.I was already at my desk, my face burning like Furnace. I was so embarrassed; what made me think office romance was romantic?“ I'm just here to tell you, Mr Kent, that the board members are requesting you submit the project today for review.” She yelled behind the door and then the clacking of her heels indicated she had just left.Zayden remained unfazed like we didn't just do something obscene. “you're done, right? Lillian.” He asked walking over to me.I shuddered as he said my name.“ yes, everything is ready.” I packed up the files we had been working on for almost a week now and handed them to him. “Good luck.” I gave him a small smile.For the first time, he smiled. That small gesture almost took my breath away. I never knew he was this handsome, coupled with that bubbling feeling in my belly.“if this works out, I might double your pay.” He spoke cooly.“Might?” I snorted.“ I deserve a trip to Pa

Lilian I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up, it was almost dark outside.I had missed calls and messages from Zayden, but I was too scared to open them. He was getting married, I should have known. It shouldn't hurt this much , I had zero feelings for him but I didn't understand why it felt like my chest was on fire. Like I was deceived and used. He called and kept calling and I just watched it ring. He texted asking where I was and why I left. I switched off my phone ,not being able to stare at the caller's ID.I felt numb, my eyes hurt. I didn't want to even think about where I go from here. It was as good as saying I was now jobless. The only thing that made me smile was when I received a credit alert. My first salary.I went to bed on an empty stomach and waited for sleep to drown me.A knock on the door caught my attention. At first, I panicked but then remembered that only Aiden knew where I lived."Mr Finn?” I felt my stomach roil. Why would my landlord come to

Zayden.Lillian was shaking violently. She rushed to the closest and put on a thick robe." We should call the cops." She said, picking up her phone, her fingers trembling on the screen.I almost opened my mouth to agree with her but thought better of it. I vowed to make Tyrell pay for making her suffer and the cops wouldn't do that. They would just lock him in prison, that's if they even managed to put him in cuffs. They couldn't even find him the last time so this time shouldn't be any different. " It would be too late before the cops get here." I moved over to the bedside table where I usually keep my gun in case of emergency. I opened it but it was empty." Where is the gun?" Lillian's eyes were beginning to water. She was scared of this man which only meant that he had Inflicted a lasting scar on her." I....i...don't know. What are we going to do?" I contemplated and then spoke." Call the cops." I told her. Just in case things get out of hand, we should have something to fall

Zayden The moment his eyelids closed the second time I collapsed on my knees. I clutched my hair tight, pain shooting through my scalp.No!No!No!No!I love Lilian more than anything and now I was faced with the very real possibility of losing her. The thought alone was suffocating, my heart was squeezing painfully in my chest every second.That one reckless mistake, that one time I let my guard down and now I'm faced with hell. I don't even know where to go from here. " I'm sorry about this man, but you have to think of a solution." Oliver urged his voice laced with pity." I know what my sister did was completely wrong but what's done is done." I gritted my teeth, my veins pumped with anger." What's done is done, huh?" I raised my blazing eyes to meet his." You know I could end your sister if I wanted to, right? Maybe I should because it's her damn fault I'm in this mess." I was breathing heavily now, that anger taking complete control of me. " She's been against my marriage

Zayden I stared into space, trying so hard to ignore the debit notification I was receiving. These women drink my money like it was some wine. I had my legs crossed, tapping on the wooden desk at my side while waiting patiently for Lillian and Jade to be done with their shopping spree. My thoughts wandered to recent events. I took a deep breath closing my eyes. At this point, I was beyond frustrated. I had both hands tied. I tried to hide it, but of course, Lillian would notice. I had to lie to her that I was worried I wouldn't be a good father. Of course, It was nerve-racking knowing I'd be a dad soon, but the problem I'm in right now was worse. The only thin thread I was holding on to was the DNA test from Sage. She still hasn't done it. She keeps giving excuses. Now she's saying the moment we get back to New Jersey ,she'll get it done. I'd expected Lillian to get pregnant but not this soon, not when I still haven't sorted out my issue with Sage. I jolted ou

Lillian He ran a hand through his hair, his eyes glued to me the entire time. He looked disoriented and flummoxed. " You're what?" He breathed, his voice a low whisper. My chest ached, he didn't sound happy." I'm....I'm pregnant." He stared at me long and hard, his expression unreadable. This wasn't how I visualised the outcome. It was supposed to be a happy news. He was supposed to receive the news with open arms." Are you ......are you sure about this?" His brows furrowed.I clenched my fists at my sides; the onesie, our baby's onesie, was still lying on the wooden floor.My lips curled." Yes, I am." He shook his head from side to side as if in denial.I scoffed." What?...you don't want a child?" He opened his mouth to say something but shut it right back. His jaw ticked, I could not understand why he was acting this way.When he didn't say anything in response, I chuckled." You don't want a child with me? Is that it ?" I bit down on my inner lip, waiting for him to say

Lillian I looked around, pretending to search for the laptop because I couldn't bring myself to tell him about it and ruin this blissful atmosphere.We just confessed to each other, for Christ's sake. I'm not ruining this mood with the laptop issue." Can the duty wait?...for a few days, maybe?" I batted my eyelashes up at him.His eyes fell to my lips and then a smile appeared on his face." Anything for you." I smiled back and we both went to bed. Two days later, I had morning sickness. We already planned our day with Jade tagging along, but with my current state, I wasn't so sure anymore.It felt like my organs were crashing against each other. Nevertheless, we went out.Zayden booked a hotel close to the beach and a high-class resort. It was Jade's idea that we try out the beach first before any other place on my extravagant list. We also planned to surprise Zayden with the news of my pregnancy at the beach. I was nervous but to hell with it.So here we were, sitting in one of t

Lillian I stared at the piece of paper on my palm. There was a huge lump in my throat that refused to disappear no matter how much I swallowed. I should have known this would happen. I was too careless. In fact, I knew this would happen but overlooked it."I think we should go to another hospital and take another test," Jade spoke, she was as confused as I was. We made the doctor do a pregnancy test again and the results came out the same. I was pregnant! I was pregnant for Zayden! " The results would be the same, you are only going to waste money for another test." The doctor countered. Jade looked at me, a confused expression on her face." Do you know what this means?" I swallowed for the hundredth time again, still unable to find my voice since the doctor made the announcement."How ....how long?" I managed to voice out."12 weeks old, still in your first trimester. I'll advise that now that you are aware, there are some do's and don'ts."The doctor continued. He reac

Zayden My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I drove along the streets, heading for the location on my GPS. Sweat droplets coated my skin, my breathing was erratic. My mind was in a state of extreme turmoil. What the fuck is she doing here! I saw Sage at the airport, I had no idea how she knew I was going to France. What I knew was that it was her I saw. She was hell-bent on making my life miserable and destroying my marriage. I can't lose Lillian, I can't lose her. Not after we've gone several steps in our relationship. Not after I was finally getting that happiness I so much wanted. She didn't say the words back when I told her how I felt but I saw it in her eyes. She was willing to give us a try. I ran my hand through my hair roughly, the text message Sage sent me kept replaying in my head over and over again. "Fuck!" I banged my knuckles on the wheel roughly, making the car swerve. I should tell Lillian. If I don't, Sage will and then I'd be doomed. I

Lillian The flight was.......we'll I can't say much because I slept most of it. I was tired, extremely tired because my dear husband made sure I used all my strength in keeping up with his high libido. It took seven hours to finally get to Paris and then another two hours to get to the villa Zayden owned. The place was extravagant. Jade kept running around, taking pictures to spam her social media account. I only smiled while watching her.Life was good if you were rich. I sighed, finding my way to the bedroom. I was still feeling air-sick. The butlers took out luggage and helped us unpack." Are you okay?" Zayden asked, feeling worried. I nodded." I'm finally on land, I'll be good in a bit." He squeezed my hand." I'll be gone for a few hours, I have to take care of something." I creased my brows." But we just landed!" " Exactly, that's why I have to do this now so I can spend all my time with you." Placing a kiss on my head, he ruffled my hair. I rolled my eyes. I wan

Lillian I bent over the sink with Zayden holding my hair up. This was the third time I was emptying my stomach through my mouth this morning. We haven't even gotten on the plane yet and I was already air sick. Zayden had to delay the flight despite my protest, we were now to depart by evening. "That's gross," Zayden said covering his mouth with a disgusted look on his face. I nudge his stomach with my free hand while glaring at him. He released a chuckle and helped me up. " Can we take a bus instead?" I batted my eyelashes at him. " Nope, planes are safer." He walked me back to our bedroom and I collapsed on the bed. " I don't feel good." I groaned. I felt tired, my bones felt stiff and just the thought of being thousands of feet in the air made me want to puke again. Why did I think this was exciting! " You'll be fine." He assured me. I sighed." I hope so." The next few hours were spent on the bed watching Zayden arrange a couple of files and his laptop int
