The Devil's Secretary Chapter 15
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

Lillian"Where have you been, Lillian? Why did you leave the office? What's going on?" Aiden yelled from the other end of the phone. As expected, the news that I was a whore had spread like wildfire.“ I'm at my house.” I couldn't help it, my voice broke.He must have sensed something was wrong." Are..are you okay?“ I sniffed, tears beginning to cloud my vision. " Are you crying? What's wrong?” I swallowed the lump in my throat." Can you come over to my place? Please.” There was a pause." Well, yeah. I'll be on my way.”I whispered a thank you before ending the call. He arrived sooner than expected and I was already with my luggage outside waiting for him. "What happened?" He yelled as soon as he saw my swollen eyes.I gave him a fake smile." I got kicked out." He looked from my luggage and back to me. He reached forward, placing his hands on my face."Your face, why is it red and your forehead? Did someone hurt you?” Great! I had completely forgotten that I had a br

Lillian My eyelids were heavy, my whole body was aching all over. The floor felt strong and rough, where the hell was I? The first thing I thought of was Zayden and our baby. A piercing pain shot through my skull from where I was hit. I felt my body swerving from left to right like I was in a vehicle. I could hear voices but my head was still spinning to even make out what they were saying." He said not to hurt her. She's pregnant! Why the fuck did you hit her on the head." I heard a man's voice. " Shut the fuck up, Falco. I didn't hit her belly, so there's no big deal." Another one roared.The first man who appeared to be called Falco scoffed." What if she loses the baby? What are you going to tell him, huh? I'm not taking your side if that happens." My stomach lurched and I remained as still as possible. I tried desperately to feel my tummy. I didn't feel any specific pain, and I thanked God Internally. That meant I was okay and the baby was okay. All I had to do I stay calm

Zayden They were stupid enough to film the wedding and put it on TV. Cameras were everywhere, people were murmuring about how grand the wedding was. I had some people set up cams in the chapel, I don't want to miss out on all the fun. I sat with a bag of chips in my hand, watching through the cams how Sage was going to humiliate herself and our reputation on the television. The whole world was going to see it. I smiled, can't wait to see the look on her face when she realised what she put herself into. The event started, but at a point, they couldn't move on without the groom. My phone rang, and Dad was calling. He texted, threatening me that if I didn't show up, the consequences would be dire. I only just watched the phone ring. I'm not letting that old man control me anymore. He won't be able to find me; I'm a hundred miles away from New Jersey. It's only temporary till I find a way to get out of this mess. I miss Lillian. I miss her a lot. I still hoped she'd

Lillian I glanced at the wall clock, it was 10:55 in the morning. Once again I'll be late for my appointment. I had been going to the hospital for antenatal care on my own. I had to monitor my health and my baby's health. I lost a few pounds which wasn't good news for a pregnant lady. I've had pains in my abdomen a few times and that's when I knew I had to see the doctor. I was told the pains were due to emotional stress, and I had to take my mind off anything that would stress me mentally. So what have I been doing since I divorced my husband? I would wake up in the morning, do some light stretches, eat a good breakfast then watch TV till noon. I then discovered that I was developing a liking for anime. I'll sleep once it clocks twelve, and then when the sun comes down, I'll take a walk to a private clinic not too far from where I live to have a chat with my fellow expectant mothers. Pathetic! They all smile at me, pretending to show kindness to a single mother l

Zayden She wasn't answering my calls, she wasn't replying to my text. Fuck! I don't even know where she was. The house was empty, all her things were gone. The only thing she left behind was her wedding ring which she left on top of the divorce papers attached to a copy of our contract on our matrimonial bed. I didn't sign it, I just tossed both papers into the fireplace and watched it burn. All this happened while I was battling with my father in the office the following day. It was like a part of me was paralyzed. I couldn't feel a thing apart from this heavyweight and void in my chest. It weighed me down to the point I couldn't even get out of bed. Remember how I said I couldn't imagine going to sleep without her and waking up every morning without her? Well, I couldn't sleep at all. I had to start taking pills after I temporarily broke down. My lacrimal glands had been leaking a lot. The weight of the divorce was crashing down on me like an anvil, making it h

Zayden Lillian didn't say a word.Sage waved a hand in front of her face." Are you deaf or something? You should better start packing up, I need to fumigate this place soon." Slowly, Lillian lifted her eyes. They were dead, no colour in them. The usual bluish glow was gone." What did you say?" Her voice was icy, even I felt the chill.Sage huffed, flipping her hair over her shoulders." I said I'm moving in since I'm carrying the future heir to the company. Take your trash and move out before tomorrow!" Her voice came out as a yell.Suddenly, Lillian lifted the broken mop stick, and it landed directly on Sage's head. She let out a cry as she landed on her butt. Lillian raised the stick again and sent it crashing into her head again, and then she began hitting her on the leg, purposely avoiding her tummy, back and waist. Sage screeching cries reached my ears but I just stood there watching. She couldn't even defend herself; she was as weak and helpless as a church rat. If I wa

Zayden There was one thing I hated the most.Her silence. She just stared at me blankly as if trying to process what I just said. Then suddenly a smile appeared on her face but disappeared the next second.Slowly she picked up her clothes, got dressed, and then quietly left the office. I didn't go after her, I was too weak to do so. Even if I did, how was I supposed to defend myself? I just sat there drowning in frustration till Jade came to tell me they were both retiring for the day. " What happened to Lillian?" She asked me as she grabbed Lillian's purse from the table. I kept my mouth shut. She'll find out soon enough eventually.She furrowed her brows, glaring at me." Did you two have a fight?" " Kind of."My voice was strained, that didn't sound like me at all. " Better fix whatever issue you have with her, she shouldn't face any emotional stress at this point." She pointed a finger at me." She's at that sensitive stage of pregnancy, do not stress unnecessarily." I mana
The Devil's Secretary Chapter 71
Lillian I just ended a call with Jade. She was supposed to accompany me to the opening ceremony of my jewellery shop next week, but she just informed me that she would be on her first business trip next week. So I'll have to move the date to this week. I already sent out flyers and posts on social media and it gained a lot of attention. Everything was set and I couldn't be happier. You should see the building, Zayden had great taste. I'm going to make sure to compensate him fully tonight, just the way he likes it. I'll have to postpone the visit to his father's mansion. I wanted to spread the news of my pregnancy; maybe that hot-headed old man would look at me with less Coldness in his eyes. It's been weeks since we got back from Paris and no one knows about my pregnancy, not even Claire. It's kind of odd. Zayden said he does not want to reveal it yet, but I'm tired of waiting. I went to the kitchen and met Zayden mixing god knows what in a bowl. He's a terrible cook. No m
The Devil's Secretary Chapter 70
Zayden I got to the office with eye bags under my eyes. Every day was the same; I was losing sleep. It's been a week now, and we were going to spend a few days at my father's mansion. Because of that, we had to postpone the opening of her jewellery shop till the following week.Lillian was going to reveal the pregnancy to him there. I agreed because she would find it suspicious if I kept refusing. My mind kept racing with so many thoughts. In the end, I couldn't tell Lillian and I gave up. Whenever I open my mouth to confess, it's either a phone call disrupts me or Lillian suddenly has a new gossip to tell me and so I took it as the earth wanting me to keep my mouth shut.Let whatever wants to happen, happen. I had only seen Sage once at the office. She refused to resume work so I had to get another secretary. It was even better because Lillian comes to the office sometimes and I'd rather they don't bump into each other. I let Helena go. She wasn't hurt or anything, just a bit
The Devil's Secretary Chapter 69
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
