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 My head was spinning faster than a car wheel. Why did I drink again? The last thing I remembered was sitting on the balcony while drowning myself in liquor. I opened my eyes sluggishly to find Lillain staring at me with a dazzling smile on her face. Gods! She's beautiful. Her hair was a mess, her pretty blue eyes could be the death of me. And those freckles added an extra cute look to her features. My eyes trailed down to her heart-shaped lips. " It's 10 am, Mr Kent." I sighed, moving over to my side. I then noticed that she was shirtless. She had the covers up to her waist. Instinctively I looked at my favourite part of her body. I licked my lips, blood rushing to my groin. She noticed me staring and pulled the covers over her chest. " It's too early." I chuckled and then sat up. Wincing as my head ached." Why am I shirtless?" I lifted the covers to find that we were both naked. I snapped in her direction immediately, my eyes asking obvious

    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

    Zayden Ahh fuck! Fuck! I knew this was a bad idea from the start. I knew I was making a big mistake. We should have just waited for him to come to us, now we were stuck in the middle of nowhere with that bastard having the upper hand. Lillian stiffened; she didn't as much as moving a muscle. " I'm not going to repeat myself, Zayden. Disarm yourself." His voice echoed again. I scanned the room quickly as I reached for the revolver at the back of my pants. It was pretty dark here, and my best guess was that he was sitting in the hallway, which was directly opposite us. We can't see him but he can see us. I placed the revolver on the floor. He chuckled again."I know you're not dumb enough to come with just a revolver. If you don't want your pretty little wife swimming in a pool of her own blood, then take everything out!" I hesitated, and then my eyes fell on Lillian. He might actually shoot her so I brought out the knife I had in my pants and dropped it on the floor. " Th

    Lillian "I haven't told you my story, at least not all of it yet," Zayden spoke as we snuggled in bed. I ended up giving him a blow job after I got out of the bathroom. I only did that because, well he kind of seduced me. I didn't even realise I was already sucking his dick until I started choking. Sigh. That's what you get for marrying a perv and then that perv influenced you and corrupted your sweet little soul. " Are there still more stories to tell?" I pulled the covers so that we were both covered to our necks. " Not really but I might have left out a tiny detail." " What is it?" He turned to face me, his grey eyes boring into mine." My birth name is Reign, not Zayden." My pupils dilated. I remembered Aiden mentioned something of this sort." What? But Zayden is what everyone knows you as." He traced his fingers along my cheekbone." Yeah. My father changed the name on my birth certificate. It was around that time he locked me up. According to him, it would make it ea

    Lillian. I know, I know. I no longer have a flat tummy, and it was now filled with stretch marks coupled with a few scars that I had. " No, don't." Zayden breathed, walking over to me." Don't cover yourself up from me ever again." I couldn't meet his eyes. For a brief moment, I thought he would no longer find me attractive. I had stared at the mirror a couple of times; the pregnancy left a ton of stretch marks and my belly had only reduced in size a little. The doctor said it might not go away completely, but it would reduce to a considerable amount. As for the stretch marks, there are various essential oils I could use on them. " You are still the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes on. Those marks are a symbol of your strength; they are beautiful." He knelt down and placed a kiss on my belly. "And I don't mind if you never get a flat tummy back. Bitter truth? You won't" He raised an amused eyes to look up at me. I snarled." You were supposed to make me feel bette

    Lillian. A few days later after Zayden was discharged and we went to visit Brenda again. This time she welcomed us warmly. I'm a woman so I know when a fellow woman is trying so hard to mask her emotions. I could see the eye bags under her eyes. I could sense the sorrow and grief she was trying so hard to hide. She probably had been thinking about how she was going to raise that little boy on her own. " What's his name?" I asked as I sat down on the couch with Zayden sitting beside me. The little boy was shy, as he kept hiding behind his mother. I got a good look at him once when Brenda pulled him to sit properly on the couch. He looked so much like Falco. " His name is Frederick." She replied a warm smile on her face. " Hi, Frederick." I gave the kid a playful smile. He lifted his small hand and waved at me. He didn't utter a word and just hid his face behind his mother's hand. " He's very shy around strangers," Brenda noted. It was cute though. "I came to thank you again.

    Lillian I pressed myself up against his chest so tightly that I heard him groan. " I know you missed me but You are going to reopen my wound." He breathed on my cheek. I shifted back immediately, my face wet from tears." Zayden!" I whimpered, my voice echoing in the room." I thought you were going to die, I thought you left me. You died!" He wrapped his hands around me." I did, but then I had a nightmare that ten years later, you remarried a blonde fucker and forgot about me. No way in hell am I letting that happen." I heard Oliver chuckle in the background, I couldn't help but laugh." Why did you do that again...you shouldn't have stepped in." He rolled his eyes." Are you seriously asking me that?" He placed both hands on my face, caressing my cheeks." I'll do anything for you even if it means dying." I burst into another round of tears as my heart warmed up. The relief I felt right now was so overwhelming. " You're weak, you wouldn't have survived it. And I have my child

    Lillian As soon as I got to the house, I contacted Oliver. He arrived sooner than expected then I handed him the recorder. I had secretly recorded my conversation with Aiden and now this was enough proof that he was responsible for my kidnapping. "Wow, I've got to hand it to you." Jade praised. I blushed." I just couldn't sit back and do nothing." " I'm still surprised he blurted it all out just like that." Oliver added." Maybe he is as dumb as sage after all." " This should be enough right?" I asked Oliver but he only sighed. " It should be but this was Aiden we were dealing with. For him to freely confess right in front of you, then it means he has backup. And then his father would also back him up. Bringing him down wouldn't be easy, especially with just this recording as our only evidence." Jade sighed heavily, collapsing on the couch in the living room." If only there was a witness then this would have been a lot easier." I crunched up my nose, my mind running over s

    Lillian Two weeks later... Zayden still hasn't woken up but the doctors said he was doing better. We should be expecting him to open his eyes any moment from now. Meanwhile Jade and I had done some research for baby girl names. She had suggested something rare and unique like Iris, Calisa and Salomi. But, honestly, I won't be picking a name without Zayden. Noah came to visit, and when I finally got discharged, he followed me to the new safe house Zayden bought before he went to prison. Oliver hired more bodyguards around the house, and I had at least two of them following me everywhere. Tyrell attempted to get close to me once, but once again he slipped away before the cops or my bodyguards could catch him. He finally sent me the location and time for our meeting. He requested I come meet him in Denver alone ten days from now and I was to come unarmed. He was stupid if he thought I would follow his orders. So right now, preparations were being made by the cops since I was t

    Lillian. For the first time, I prayed to God. This was beyond me now. Tyrell was giving me a very hard choice. At this point, I don't know if I should be scared or not. " What do you want with me!" I dared ask, while trying to stall hoping a nurse would walk in. "What do I want with you? I'm obsessed with you, Lily." He brushed a hand on my cheek. " I'm obsessed with the way you whimper when I hurt you. The way your face crinkles when I cut across your skin with my knife. The way you stare out the window hoping to get freedom. The way you tremble when I'm around you. You grew up with me, you should be obsessed with me by now. I saved you from death. I took you in when everyone abandoned you, you should be grateful." I stared at him in disbelief." Took me in?" I scoffed." I was no better than a prisoner. You took advantage of me when I was at my lowest." I raised my voice a little hoping that someone outside would send the distress in my voice. He's worse than a monster. How c
