The Devil's Secretary Chapter 42
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

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

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

Lillian I couldn't bring myself to go to the office, instead I returned to the mansion. Another advantage of marrying your boss, you get to decide when to and when not to go to work. " Are you sure you'll be okay on your own, I could stay over. Nico wouldn't mind." I could see the genuine worry in her eyes. Jade had followed me to the mansion, but I was sceptical about letting her in. Zayden's father was a pain to deal with.I gave her a small smile." I'll be fine." She sighed." We should tell the cops." I shook my head, my blood still thrummed from the adrenaline rush." Prison can't hold him, he's been there before," I told her. She looked extremely worried and I did not want to burden her. " It's okay, Jade, I'll be fine. I have the whole mansion to myself and a couple of house help." She still didn't look convinced." I'll call to check up on you. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me."I nodded, hugging her." I will." She frowned." I mean it, Lilly. You're

Lillian I zipped up my bag, placing my headset over my ears. Despite my loud music, their grunts and moans still echoed throughout the air. I was used to this, I agreed to this. We had a deal, so it shouldn't bother me, yet here I was feeling every bit of miserable. I stood in front of the room, with my backpack on my shoulders, waiting for them to finish their rounds. That slapping sound and deep groans made my core quake. I wasn't jealous, I was angry. Angry that I had to endure this because I couldn't fend for myself, angry that I had to make a deal with the devil to survive.The door swung open, and I didn't notice until there was a bump on my head. " Move aside!" She pushed me away from the door, her naked body coming into view. Her golden hair was a mess, her makeup smudged with her juices pooling down her legs. She had no shame, prostitutes had no shame. She was disgusting and reeked of the aftermath of unholy sex. "Change the sheets before nightfall; it's gross."

Lillian Zayden hadn't woken up. It's been seven days, and each day, I was losing myself, guilt weighing heavily on me. My heart ached so badly that sometimes I lost my breath. Throughout this time, I had received two anonymous messages. I knew who they were from and his message clearly stated what he wanted. Zayden's father called off the cops and cancelled all investigations. He claimed that it was just an accident. But I knew better; I didn't complain, though. My only issue was that he openly showed no concern for his son. What kind of a father does that? I was more disappointed in Aiden; we hadn't spoken for days, and he hadn't come either. I already made my plans; I didn't tell Jade. I wouldn't drag her into my messed-up past. I'll give him what he wants, but that would be after I married Zayden. I stayed with him in the hospital every day, hoping that he would open his eyes. The only improvement I got was the movement of his left fingers, nothing more. During this ti

Lillian Jade was fixing my hair in front of the ceiling-to-floor mirror. Her hands expertly curled the thick strands. She had put it in thick curls, and now she was trying as much as possible to style it, but I was starting to feel the strain from sitting for too long." just put it in a ponytail." She grimaced." No way, it's your engagement-no ponytails." I finally gave up. Time was slipping away with just two hours to go before the engagement ceremony. The excitement, mixed with anxiety, was building inside me. Zayden and I had wanted an event centre, but his father had other plans. He had also tried to force us to live in his house till the wedding, but Zayden was against it. I wouldn't blame him, not after what they did to him. So here I was, getting ready at Zayden's place. " Do not lose sight of why you are doing this," Jade said, her hands gently gripping my cheeks playfully. I nodded." I know." " You can sleep with him but try not to get pregnant." She urged

Lillian He gagged my mouth with a cloth. All my screams of agony died down in the material. I was shaking violently, trying to ease the pain from where the knife stuck out of my flesh. He pulled out the knife, with blood dripping from it and then ran his tongue over the small blade, licking my blood. He tore off my clothes, leaving me half-naked. I couldn't do anything, I couldn't move my limbs. My limbs were paralyzed from fear. He cleaned the wound on the side of my stomach. It wasn't deep, not too wide either, just like a razor cut. He applied tissue glue and Bandaid to the cut skin." Take off the bandaid after your bath. If you're asked, say you cut yourself with a razor while shaving." Tears rolled down my cheeks as I sobbed. I didn't want to go through this again. I can't go through the pain again.He gently helped me put on a new dress, the same as the one I had on earlier. "Shush, don't cry. You know what happens when you go against me." He whispered in my ears.My

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
