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."

    LillianI felt weak, my knees were wobbly. I only managed to get to Aiden's room before collapsing on the door. The door opened seconds later and I almost toppled over." Lillian? Why are you here?" He looked me up and down.I had only the white sheets around me and my night dress in my palm." I can't stay with him." His eyes softened, and he let me in. I know this was wrong. I was marrying Zayden, so sleeping in his brother's room was uncalled for. I sat at the edge of the bed, my mind racing with a million thoughts." What happened, why are you dressed like that." I swallowed, I wasn't sure myself. " I don't know." I gazed up at him, my eyes teary.Aiden sighed, running his hands through his hair." I knew you'd react this way after what you saw." I shook my head." That's not it. I slept completely clothed but woke up with nothing on." He creased his brows." What!" I sucked in my breath." I was lying on the edge of the bed, but when I woke up, I was on his lap in the middle o

    Zayden The door opened, and she came into view. She had her eyes on the floor, avoiding eye contact. I watched as she climbed on the bed and under the covers without saying a word. I expected her to Interrogate me, as other people would. But she just lay there pretending to be asleep. I clenched my fists; my first thought was that she would end the contract after all; no sane woman would want to marry someone like me.I overheard her conversation with Aiden. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I got tired of waiting for her to come to bed, so I went out to find her. He wasn't lying though. I did eighty per cent of what he told her, it was only left for her to believe it or not. I knew Aiden would do this, everything was in the past. He was supposed to keep his mouth shut.I sighed, closing my laptop and joining her in bed.I felt her stiffen. She was scared of me. I opened my mouth to speak but closed it right back. What the fuck was I supposed to say?...... I'm sorry I kill

    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 he fi

    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 surpri

    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 fu

    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
