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

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 held my breath, trying to listen closely for footsteps before I made my move. I don't know how long it had been but I waited quite a while, just to make sure they were no longer on my tail.The wooden ceiling above me creaked and then I heard soft footsteps. After a while, it faded away, and the only sound I could hear was that of crickets.I looked over to where the piece of broken bottle lay. I just needed to move a few feet and I'll be able to reach for it. My heart was beating so loudly in my ears that I couldn't hear anything else.I was terrified.I shifted my body weight, and the chair scrapped along the wooden floor, creating a loud but disturbing symphony.I paused then took a deep breath and shifted my weight again. The chair creaked but it only moved a few inches. Sweat pooled down my face and onto my gagged mouth. I huffed and then shifted my weight to one side in the direction of the bottle, supporting the chair with my toe pressed hard on the floor. The ch

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
The Devil's Secretary Chapter 76
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
