Lillian

My 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 I watched as he pulled over and then opened the door for her like the perfect gentleman.Bloody bastard!My blood was boiling; I was itching to punch something, preferably his face.She smiled at him. She was wearing a blue body con dress. It hugged her figure perfectly. I knew she did this on purpose even after I told her not to let Aiden drop her off.From where I stood watching them on the second floor I could see Aiden run his eyes over her body, over my body.Mine, she was mine.I don't know how it started, but after I gave in to my cravings and kissed her, I started craving more of her.She smiled. She shouldn't smile if I wasn't the cause. The first thing I noticed was the light purple spot on her cheek and forehead.I watched the footage yesterday, and I saw what Sage and Oliver did to her. I made him bleed a little, I only broke his nose. That was the least of what I was going to do to him. As for sage,I sighed. My dad was furious that my secretary put her i

    Zayden Nothing was more frustrating than her silence. She had refused to talk to me for five days straight and just stared into space while I tried to get her attention. It was more frustrating to watch her leave with Aiden every single day and watch them come to work together. God! I felt like killing him.He always had this mocking scowl on his face. I had to control myself not to confront them both or I might make her more mad. I knew she was doing this on purpose but I didn't like my reaction. I shouldn't be jealous; it was just a ride; they wouldn't be doing anything else, right? Yes, I knew I fucked up, but here I was trying to make it right, but she won't stop giving me the cold shoulder.It was a lot easier to convince a client to sign a contract than to convince a woman to stop being mad at you. I haven't given her any workload, I made Helena do all of it. After all, it was her fault Sage got to hear of our make-out session. So basically, she only came to work

    Zayden Spank her.Finger fuck her.Eat her cunt like it was a desert.Choke her and take her from behind.And many more lewd suggestions from Google.As if she'd let me touch her. I'd gone no day without fantasizing about her underneath me in my bed. In the end, I had to call Oliver. He suddenly had difficulties making the muscles on his face stop extending his lips into a grin."Wipe that grin off your face or I'll do it for you." I breathed, irritation ticking my jaw.His grin only widened." From now on I'll be your love coach." "Fuck off! We are not on good terms." There was a dim in his expression for a moment but then his grin was back on."Now listen carefully and do exactly as I say if you want to win her back." He spoke with a hint of pride.And he told me what to do. I almost did the face slap. Why didn't I think of it earlier? Of course, women loved flowers and sweet little talks.I spent the next hour staring at the note Oliver had given me. He says to memorize the wor

    Lillian "Why do you live with him? Did he force you to do that?" He snapped at me and I flinched a little. Zayden had both hands on my shoulders, clutching them so hard I thought my scapula would snap. I grimaced." Why do you think so bad of your brother?" I asked Instead. I'm yet to understand the relationship between the duo. He finally released my shoulders. " He is not someone you should be staying with. What happened Lilly? Tell me this is some sort of joke and you are only staying with him for a few days." He spoke, his voice soft. He called me Lily, my name on his lips sounded surreal. " It's not a joke, I'm living with him. At least till I get a place to stay." I finally said, embarrassment tainting my cheeks. He squinted his brows." Until you get a place to stay? What happened to your apartment?" I bit down on my lips; my eyes were beginning to sting. He grabbed my hand gently, his touch making all the hairs on my neck erect. " Tell me what happened."

    Lillian Zayden said the house would be ready in two days. I had tried to make him tell me the terms of our agreement, but he had bluntly refused, saying I should move in first. I had the chance to refuse his offer and continue living with Aiden. But I was going to get my own space instead of living with a grown-ass man. I trust Aiden but I can never be too careful. So having a house to myself was the best option. I'll figure out how to repay Zayden later, but now I had to get on my feet first. My boss didn't let me leave with Aiden after work. He said he would punch him till he loses all his teeth if I dared set my butt on his brother's car. "I'll get you a hotel to stay for the next two days, but if you want his teeth wrapped in a box then that's fine by me," he had said rather calmly.From his earlier fight with his brother, I didn't doubt that he'd do what he said.I didn't want more attention to myself than I already have so I obediently accepted his offer."

    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

    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

    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

    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
