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 watched her through the rearview mirror. She seemed a bit quiet, too quiet for the Lillian I know. She seemed distant and too lost in her world. We were on the way to the house I had promised her. I had sent a driver to get her things from Aiden's place. She had insisted she went by herself but that part of me that hated the idea of her being with Aiden refused. I wanted to show concern. She had said the difference between me and my brother was that he cared more than I did. That was a huge blow to my ego but I wanted it to change. So here I was finding it hard to ask her if she was okay. I sighed in frustration. Caring for people was exhilarating. " Mrs Ace, are you okay?"I finally said. She remained silent, staring out the window. Her face was a bit pale. I slowed down and then honked. She jumped a little, eyes searching her surroundings. " I asked a question, Mrs Ace," I said again. Her eyes widened, they were dull. I didn't like it. She wasn't her

    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

    Zayden The moment his eyelids closed the second time I collapsed on my knees. I clutched my hair tight, pain shooting through my scalp.No!No!No!No!I love Lilian more than anything and now I was faced with the very real possibility of losing her. The thought alone was suffocating, my heart was squeezing painfully in my chest every second.That one reckless mistake, that one time I let my guard down and now I'm faced with hell. I don't even know where to go from here. " I'm sorry about this man, but you have to think of a solution." Oliver urged his voice laced with pity." I know what my sister did was completely wrong but what's done is done." I gritted my teeth, my veins pumped with anger." What's done is done, huh?" I raised my blazing eyes to meet his." You know I could end your sister if I wanted to, right? Maybe I should because it's her damn fault I'm in this mess." I was breathing heavily now, that anger taking complete control of me. " She's been against my marriage

    Zayden I stared into space, trying so hard to ignore the debit notification I was receiving. These women drink my money like it was some wine. I had my legs crossed, tapping on the wooden desk at my side while waiting patiently for Lillian and Jade to be done with their shopping spree. My thoughts wandered to recent events. I took a deep breath closing my eyes. At this point, I was beyond frustrated. I had both hands tied. I tried to hide it, but of course, Lillian would notice. I had to lie to her that I was worried I wouldn't be a good father. Of course, It was nerve-racking knowing I'd be a dad soon, but the problem I'm in right now was worse. The only thin thread I was holding on to was the DNA test from Sage. She still hasn't done it. She keeps giving excuses. Now she's saying the moment we get back to New Jersey ,she'll get it done. I'd expected Lillian to get pregnant but not this soon, not when I still haven't sorted out my issue with Sage. I jolted ou

    Lillian He ran a hand through his hair, his eyes glued to me the entire time. He looked disoriented and flummoxed. " You're what?" He breathed, his voice a low whisper. My chest ached, he didn't sound happy." I'm....I'm pregnant." He stared at me long and hard, his expression unreadable. This wasn't how I visualised the outcome. It was supposed to be a happy news. He was supposed to receive the news with open arms." Are you ......are you sure about this?" His brows furrowed.I clenched my fists at my sides; the onesie, our baby's onesie, was still lying on the wooden floor.My lips curled." Yes, I am." He shook his head from side to side as if in denial.I scoffed." What?...you don't want a child?" He opened his mouth to say something but shut it right back. His jaw ticked, I could not understand why he was acting this way.When he didn't say anything in response, I chuckled." You don't want a child with me? Is that it ?" I bit down on my inner lip, waiting for him to say

    Lillian I looked around, pretending to search for the laptop because I couldn't bring myself to tell him about it and ruin this blissful atmosphere.We just confessed to each other, for Christ's sake. I'm not ruining this mood with the laptop issue." Can the duty wait?...for a few days, maybe?" I batted my eyelashes up at him.His eyes fell to my lips and then a smile appeared on his face." Anything for you." I smiled back and we both went to bed. Two days later, I had morning sickness. We already planned our day with Jade tagging along, but with my current state, I wasn't so sure anymore.It felt like my organs were crashing against each other. Nevertheless, we went out.Zayden booked a hotel close to the beach and a high-class resort. It was Jade's idea that we try out the beach first before any other place on my extravagant list. We also planned to surprise Zayden with the news of my pregnancy at the beach. I was nervous but to hell with it.So here we were, sitting in one of t

    Lillian I stared at the piece of paper on my palm. There was a huge lump in my throat that refused to disappear no matter how much I swallowed. I should have known this would happen. I was too careless. In fact, I knew this would happen but overlooked it."I think we should go to another hospital and take another test," Jade spoke, she was as confused as I was. We made the doctor do a pregnancy test again and the results came out the same. I was pregnant! I was pregnant for Zayden! " The results would be the same, you are only going to waste money for another test." The doctor countered. Jade looked at me, a confused expression on her face." Do you know what this means?" I swallowed for the hundredth time again, still unable to find my voice since the doctor made the announcement."How ....how long?" I managed to voice out."12 weeks old, still in your first trimester. I'll advise that now that you are aware, there are some do's and don'ts."The doctor continued. He reac

    Zayden My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I drove along the streets, heading for the location on my GPS. Sweat droplets coated my skin, my breathing was erratic. My mind was in a state of extreme turmoil. What the fuck is she doing here! I saw Sage at the airport, I had no idea how she knew I was going to France. What I knew was that it was her I saw. She was hell-bent on making my life miserable and destroying my marriage. I can't lose Lillian, I can't lose her. Not after we've gone several steps in our relationship. Not after I was finally getting that happiness I so much wanted. She didn't say the words back when I told her how I felt but I saw it in her eyes. She was willing to give us a try. I ran my hand through my hair roughly, the text message Sage sent me kept replaying in my head over and over again. "Fuck!" I banged my knuckles on the wheel roughly, making the car swerve. I should tell Lillian. If I don't, Sage will and then I'd be doomed. I

    Lillian The flight was.......we'll I can't say much because I slept most of it. I was tired, extremely tired because my dear husband made sure I used all my strength in keeping up with his high libido. It took seven hours to finally get to Paris and then another two hours to get to the villa Zayden owned. The place was extravagant. Jade kept running around, taking pictures to spam her social media account. I only smiled while watching her.Life was good if you were rich. I sighed, finding my way to the bedroom. I was still feeling air-sick. The butlers took out luggage and helped us unpack." Are you okay?" Zayden asked, feeling worried. I nodded." I'm finally on land, I'll be good in a bit." He squeezed my hand." I'll be gone for a few hours, I have to take care of something." I creased my brows." But we just landed!" " Exactly, that's why I have to do this now so I can spend all my time with you." Placing a kiss on my head, he ruffled my hair. I rolled my eyes. I wan

    Lillian I bent over the sink with Zayden holding my hair up. This was the third time I was emptying my stomach through my mouth this morning. We haven't even gotten on the plane yet and I was already air sick. Zayden had to delay the flight despite my protest, we were now to depart by evening. "That's gross," Zayden said covering his mouth with a disgusted look on his face. I nudge his stomach with my free hand while glaring at him. He released a chuckle and helped me up. " Can we take a bus instead?" I batted my eyelashes at him. " Nope, planes are safer." He walked me back to our bedroom and I collapsed on the bed. " I don't feel good." I groaned. I felt tired, my bones felt stiff and just the thought of being thousands of feet in the air made me want to puke again. Why did I think this was exciting! " You'll be fine." He assured me. I sighed." I hope so." The next few hours were spent on the bed watching Zayden arrange a couple of files and his laptop int
