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."

    Zayden I wrapped my hands around his neck, squeezing the breath out of him. " Do you realize what you did!" He tapped his fingers on my hand."Let go of me Zayden. The cops are outside, you don't want to add to the charges already on your shoulders." I gritted my teeth in anger." I'm going to jail for a crime you committed. What kind of man are you?" He tapped my hands again this time violently." Let go of me this instant or I'll call the cops." " You can try...they won't hear you." I tightened my grip, that dark side of me whispering in my ears to strangle the life out of him slowly. His face was already turning red, his legs buckling underneath him. I stared at him in the eyes, letting him see the anger on my face. And then suddenly, I let go ; he bent forward, coughing and trying to catch his breath. He thought he was safe because I was handcuffed but he thought wrong. When he was done catching his breath, he sat upright." Don't you want to hear the rest of th

    Zayden I don't remember much but I knew he always fought with my mother. I was too young to understand what they were always quarrelling about. But now, I was beginning to get a clearer picture. "I had a vasectomy in my early twenties. Your mother doesn't know about it, and neither did I attempt to tell her until she broke the news of her pregnancy to me." He continued. " I was filled with rage because it only meant that she had cheated on me. I initially wanted a divorce, but she begged me not to because the Shame and degradation that would follow was too much. So I thought better of it." He stood up, picked up his golden cane, and strolled off to the window. "Laura was the heir to her family business, and as her husband, it's only customary that I take full control, especially if she was with child." He turned to face me, a sly smile on his lips. "So I had a deal with her. She would hand over her family business to me and I would take you in as mine." He stroll

    Zayden Silence. Silence and darkness lingered in my cell. The Silence enveloped me every single day to the point that It was suffocating. There was only one light bulb, dimly lit. I didn't bother counting how many days I had been here. It would only add to my frustration. These four walls and the deafening silence reminded me of nine-year-old me. How I would sit in my room till the Sun goes down with nothing to do. How I would stare out the window and wish I could go out or at least feel the wind on my face instead of the cold air conditioner. How I would get so bored and start smashing things or how I would punch the wall just to get myself to feel something even if it was pain. My father didn't even bother dropping at least a text message or phone call. He just dumped me in that house and left me there. The last thing he told me was that when it's time he'll let me out and that I needed to pay for what I did. It's sickening. It was like I was reliving my chil

    Lillian I stroked the last item on my budget list, a three-carat diamond tennis bracelet gotten from Italy. This was the most expensive jewellery in my shop, and yeah, I'm selling it off to the highest bidder. The business has been great, and now I have to restock every Saturday due to the high demand for my exquisite jewellery. I employed Brenda as my personal assistant. So far, she's a bubbly fellow, hiding the sadness in her eyes every day with a smile. She goes to pick up Frederick by two and then he'll stay at my office till evening. He was no longer shy around me, always running around, scattering my documents or pulling at my dress when he wanted uppies. And today was not any different; he was sitting on my lap in my office, sipping on apple juice as we both watched the news. It's been three days since Aiden's arrest, and the media hasn't failed to broadcast it every single day. Kent Tech was now without an heir leaving the public with uncertainty on who was go

    Lillian Oliver rushed in, sweat dripping down his face as he panted. The courtroom fell quiet, all eyes on him. Sage appeared behind him, her eyes glued to the floor. My blood thrummed loudly as I looked back and forth. She stepped forward, tears streaming down her face. Oliver nodded at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. She walked back to the witness stand with the police officers following behind. "I...I...I have a confession to make." She spoke, her voice cracking. She looked and sounded hysterical, I could even see how her hands trembled. " You already confessed Mrs Smith, is that correct." The judge noted. She nodded." I left out some parts ." She sniffed, wiping her tear-stricken face. The courtroom fell quiet again with low whispers here and there. Aiden's lawyer rushed to his feet. Honestly, I find him annoying; he was so desperate to obstruct justice for a pile of cash thrown at him. " Objection my lord. The verdict has already been served. Besides, she su

    Lillian I took my seat in between Jade and Oliver. " What took you so long?" She whispered at my side as we all stood up to honour the judge's presence. " I had a pee break," I whispered back. I felt selfish, like I just made a very grave mistake. Closing my eyes, I sat back down; I could have ended this five minutes ago. I wouldn't have to sit here and listen to men in wigs talk if I hadn't refused his offer. I refused to drop the case, and now, Zayden's father vowed never to let Zayden out of prison bars if, by any chance, we win this case. I can't degrade myself by apologising publicly for a crime I know too well Aiden committed. And I have a very strong feeling that Zayden would approve of my decision. Zayden's father walked in a minute later and sat at the other rows of chairs along with Loren. It seems Oliver was having a heated dispute with his father for taking sides with me and Zayden. They barely looked at each other, and I had noticed how Loren t

    Lillian I had been running around every day putting pieces of evidence together along with Oliver to help Zayden's case. It's been four days since he was put behind bars and I had gone to see him twice. At this rate, I was losing hope because his dad was bent on making our lives hell. The trial would begin in two weeks but we still had no evidence for Laura's death. That was the major issue, but all evidence still points to him, and we still have not been able to counter it. Tyrell was sentenced to death by the electric chair. He committed too many murders to even be granted the gift of life imprisonment. It was even risky as he might break out again and go on another killing spree. His execution was to take place next month, I won't be going to watch because I've got better things to do. Unfortunately, he had no family members, so he was going to face death alone. Aside from that, I had another issue. I had reported Aiden to the cops and requested an arrest. The recording

    Lillian At that moment I so much wanted to pick up a rock and smash it on this jerk in uniform's face. " Excuse me? What the hell are you trying to do." I snarled, stepping in between Zayden and the officer. He cleared his throat." The operation is over so..." I cut him off abruptly." So get the fuck out of here and go back to your precinct." He remained standing, staring at me like I just disrespected his entire lineage. " Excuse me ma'am, but I have to do my job. He needs to return to his cell today without fail." He explained, his brows twitching. Zayden was about to speak but I waved a hand, mentioning for him to let me do the talking." My husband just fought a man who had been terrorising the entire city for weeks and that you and your incompetent cronies have never been able to bring to justice. But now, you have him behind bars courtesy of me and my husband, who risked our lives for the sake of this city." I stepped up to the officer, maintaining eye conta

    Zayden I pulled the trigger as fast as I could, aiming at his hand holding the remote control. It flew out of his hand, a hole appearing on his palm. He grunted loudly, clutching the hand I just shot. If I had delayed for a second I'd probably be ashes by now. I trudged over to where the remote control was and picked it up, tucking it safely in my pocket. There's no way I'm letting him have it again. I stared at him on the floor, blood dripping down his hand and neck. I could end it right now and not be accountable for it. The cops had given me the go-ahead; I was doing this city a good if I shut him in the head right now, but what I didn't get was why the fuck I was holding back. I cursed silently, something was wrong. I could feel it, something was wrong with me. I placed my finger on the trigger and urged every fibre of muscle in my body to pull it, but I couldn't. He noticed my resistance." What's the matter? Don't want to get more blood on your hands." " Shut the
