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." Fin
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
Lillian Staring at the billion-dollar painting on the wall was becoming boring. I had unpacked, not that I had much to unpack, but I had arranged the little I owned. Noah, the butler, had helped me unpack and made breakfast, too. He said he would be here till evening. Sighing, I got up from my position with a new resolve. I'm not going to sit here and sulk over some shit that happen years ago and let it ruin my present. According to Jade, I'd better make good use of my today than brood over yesterday. I have a life to leave and my traumas wouldn't stop me from doing that. My life is finally falling into pieces. Even if it feels like I'm entering the lion's tummy, the adrenaline rush is pretty relaxing. I exited the room to take a tour around the house. Since this was now my house, I might as well do what I liked. I made a mental note of the changes I needed to make. First, the colours were beautiful but dull, reeks of loneliness and depression. The walls were devoid
Zayden I remained calm, my face devoid of any emotion, because that was what they wanted. Any flicker of emotion I let slip through would be their tool for manipulation. " You want me to step down?" I raised a brow, my teeth grinding against each other. My father kept his shoulders high." Yes, and we have valid reasons to do so." I snorted. "And they are?" The other members remained quiet, waiting for my father to speak. "We've thought this through and made a careful decision. You are no longer competent enough." He finished. I should have expected his vague reason. Why put me as CEO since I was eighteen, only to throw me out now? I didn't think this was all, there was more to it. " Did the deal with Hale Corporation fall through?" I asked Instead, trying so hard to maintain my cool demeanour. He retorted." They haven't given us feedback yet." I relaxed further into my seat, my eyes fixated on him. I stopped seeing him as a father a very long time ago. The on
Lillian I had never felt this relieved in my life on finding out that it was Zayden's house help that arrived. Aiden was already halfway through the back door when I called him back. " You should leave, I can't afford to have another heart attack." I chuckled as I collapsed on the couch. Aiden checked his watch." It's barely five, but I'll leave soon. Or my brother might have my head." We chatted some more with me nervously checking the wall clock every minute. He finally got up to leave."From now on, speak to me at the office." I walked him to the door. He pouted." You don't want anyone finding out about us ?" I rolled my eyes." Stop making it sound like we're doing something bad." He laughed, gently raising my hand to his lips." I'll see you soon, Lilian." I smiled at him and watched as he left. I could finally breathe like a human. Zayden returned when it was almost nightfall. I had prepared dinner myself despite Noah's objection, and I was stuffing m
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
Lillian Jade kept running around, packing everything she could lay her hands on that she thought we needed. She had been giddy the whole time after I told her we were going to Paris and that we were going to use Zayden's private jet. Nico was against her going but eventually agreed. I understood him; it's quite intimidating if your girlfriend's best friend has a rich husband and she's enjoying privileges indirectly from him.Nico wasn't poor; he had a stable job to live an average life, and I had suggested that he came to work in Zayden's company. All it took was for me to run my hands through Zayden's hair while kissing him, and he'd agree. But it was a big, no. He felt intimidated so we all chilled and let him do what he wanted. "We're going to Paris!" She kept repeating and I just sat at the edge of the bed, watching with a satisfied expression on my face. "My husband said we could go shopping when we arrive, so you don't have to pack too much," I told her, a wide sm
Lillian His words kept echoing in my head. The contract ends here! The contract ends here! The contract ends here! I knew the meaning behind it but I wasn't so sure if I wanted it, yet. Right now, him fucking me so damn hard is what I wanted. I wanted him to make me cum, to wreck my pussy till I was screaming at the top of my voice. Zayden is good; his sexual abilities are top-notch. He knows where to hit, what angle to hit and how to hit. But he is a greedy man, though. He doesn't want me to be in control, he always wants it his way. His hands tightened around my hips painfully. I placed my hand on his chest trying to push him away a little. I wasn't quite comfortable in this position, but knowing Zayden, he is far too gone to think rationally. " Wait, the couch." He slammed into me immediately, shutting Me up and making my bare back slide on the hardwood. " AHH!!" My hands flew to his chest again." Let's use the couch!" He didn't listen, I didn't even think
Zayden She took a shaky breath, her skin pale."He would torture me while whispering that he loved me and no one else would. I believed him because the truth was the only people who ever loved me were my parents, and I barely remembered them." "In what way did he torture you?" I wanted to know how I'd kill him. I was going to inflict ten times the pain, he did on Lillian. I don't care if she's going to hate me for it, but I'm going to make him suffer. I'm going to get justice for her even if it gets me in jail. She swallowed, her voice cracking. It was hard for her. I could tell she was trying so hard not to break down. "Sometimes he'd use a knife, other times his belt, nail or his fist. He didn't fail to pay my tuition and cover my expenses and that was the only thing that kept me going." I squeezed her hand, thankfully she hadn't noticed the scratch on my knuckles. I made sure to clean them up and apply a concealer after punching the wall to relieve my frustration yesterday.
