This was odd. I stared at my screen, at the text I sent Zayden over four hours ago.

He still hadn't replied and he wasn't answering my calls.

Zayden doesn't stay out late. It was already 3 pm and he wasn't back. I called the office and the security said he hadn't returned to the office.

A company dinner shouldn't last till overnight, right? What kind of dinner was that anyway?

I sighed, I baked cake and some cookies to surprise him. I wanted him to try it, and that was why I stayed up late waiting for him.

I tried calling again but still no answer. Finally giving up, I lay under the covers and went to sleep.

The next morning i called him again but still no answer.

Should I be worried? Maybe.

He's a grown-ass man but also a married man,and knowing Zayden; he has never stayed out past 11.

I got dressed and had breakfast while hoping I'll hear him drive in.

The clock ticked, and it was already 10, but still no sign of him. I got tired and decided to g

    Lillian My jaw hung open. I shifted uncomfortably on the couch." You what?" He chuckled." I'm kidding, I just wanted to see your reaction." I felt a little bit of relief but my stomach kept roiling. His eyes bore into mine." What? You don't believe me?" I sighed; I only partially believed him. Like who would believe him after seeing what he can do." After seeing what you can do? Nah, I don't think so." He shrugged and then opened his laptop. The office fell silent and I picked up a magazine, trying to distract myself from the uneasy feeling in my chest. This family was messed up. Father hates son, son hates brother. Brother enjoys violence and has serious anger issues. There's no relationship between them at all. And Aiden, I don't know what he's up to. I rarely see him at the office, sometimes, once a week. It was odd, given that he was always competing with Zayden, but now he just chilled out. I shook my head, thinking of something that would keep me busy. "

    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.

    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

    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 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 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

    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 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

    Lillian He came! He came for me! The moment Zayden walked through that door, it felt like that hook that had been at the back of my throat finally came off. Like I could finally breathe, like my shoulders could finally feel less heavy. Like the void and darkness that engulfed my soul suddenly disappeared. At one point, I gave up, especially after seeing the news that he was in prison. I lost hope that he was searching for me. So seeing him right now made my eyes water. All the strength and courage I had lost suddenly came rushing through my body. The sudden urge to watch him murder these people while I applaud in the background was overwhelming. It would be our perfect victory. This was the only instance where I think shoving a knife through someone's heart was completely normal and legal.That someone being Jade. Call me insane, but I no longer care, not after what I've been through. For the past few days, Sage didn't hurt me past what I couldn't bear. It was always

    Zayden Oliver groaned, clutching his injured arm. I ran over to him, more gunshots firing through the air." Take whoever is shooting down, right now!" I yelled.I knelt beside him, trying to put pressure on the wound." Ahh...fuck! You didn't tell me it hurt this much." He groaned, his face turning beet red.I tore a piece from my jacket and wrapped it around the wound to stop the bleeding." What? Did you expect an orgasm?" I crooked a brow.He threw a glare my way or at least tried to. His face twisted in agony as I lifted him up.I can't carry him any more than this because my gunshot wound was still fresh. I did not want to reopen it, at least not yet." Stay here and call for help if you can't bear the pain," I told him.He shook his head "No way, I'm going in." " Can you handle it?" He stood on both feet, sweat pouring down his face." It's just my left arm, I can manage." I scrutinized him for a moment and then shook my head." You look like you are going to pass out. Go ba

    Zayden We spent half an hour trying to shake off the cops.They were very persistent and chased us around town. We managed to take down two of their cars, but no casualties were obtained. And then, finally, we lost them. " I think we should shift the rescue to tomorrow night." Oliver suggested." Hell, no! I'm getting my wife back today!" I countered.Oliver did the face slap." It's almost daybreak. The journey to Delaware would be a long one, and then it would be broadcast tomorrow morning that an inmate broke out of his cell." " Then we better start now," I added, walking over to the back of the van to change my bloodied clothes. Oliver had successfully removed the bullet manually and stitched me up. I had to force myself to think of Lillian's boobs so I wouldn't pass out from the pain.Oliver sighed but didn't say anything more. " Let's run over the plan then," I spoke up, gathering all the men together." The search starts from here," I said pointing at an old manor. "It's

    Zayden The hands of the clock ticked very slowly. I didn't sleep, I stayed up and counted each second. It kept ticking, each second felt like an hour. Five...four....three...two...one!Midnight.I walked over to the bars, there was a camera right in front of my cell. It was in every cell in the precinct. My eyes were glued to it, waiting for the blinking red light to switch off. I waited while glancing at the clock at intervals. The officers that went on patrol would be back by 2pm so I had two hours to break out of this place. A minute passed and nothing happened. I began pacing; it's just a minute, right? Maybe Blondie got jammed with something. He can't possibly back out, I'm giving him six hundred fucking dollars. My hands were jerking uncontrollably. I glanced at the clock again; five minutes had passed, and I could still see that blinking red light from the cameras. I tugged my hair, I'll wait a little longer. I don't want to have to resort to drastic measures.I double

    Zayden Just like I predicted, Thomas was found dead the next morning. It was broadcast on the radio that he was brutally murdered in his home at 1 pm last night. The surviving wife and child were taken into police custody immediately, and a thorough search for Tyrell was set in motion. Once again Tyrell left his signature in the gory scene. The state was in an uproar. The police began night patrol but I knew that wouldn't stop him. The police needed extra forces, so the officers in the precinct were reduced by, half, which thankfully was to my advantage. At night, half the officers would go out for patrol to protect their citizens, and that's when I'd break out I have about eight hours before nightfall. I'd lie if I said I wasn't nervous butt at this point, I couldn't care less. The only problem I was faced with was getting the keys from Blondie. He would keep watch tonight, I planned on bribing him, but there's a fifty per cent chance that it would work. I'll just have to

    Zayden Aiden was soaring high. He was making a name for himself in my place. I was forced to listen because that stupid blondie refused to turn off the radio. I didn't complain after; at least I got to know what was happening in the outside world. Aiden launched a project, and it gained fame; he received praise here and there. The press was all over him, some releasing articles saying The company has doubled its assets since Aiden stepped in. Apart from that, the news was boring. I had sent another message to my dad through Oliver. He refused to see me and asked that I be patient till the day before my trial which was eleven days from now. I'm not a patient man.I had no choice but to fall back to breaking out of prison. Don't get me wrong, I haven't done this before, and I still have no idea how I am going to go about it. I've seen a few movies, so breaking out of prison shouldn't be that hard right?Wrong!It's as hard as hell, even with the blueprint at the back of my min

    Zayden I was kept in a cell. I would be transferred to Fox River prison if I was found guilty two weeks from now.It's not that I don't trust my lawyer, the worst that could happen would be me getting locked up but with a reduced sentence, Maybe forty years.I cringe at that thought, it wouldn't bother me so much if Lillian was coming to see me.But the fact that she still hadn't been found was eating me up from the inside.My plan failed; I couldn't get my father to talk, and I cursed myself for it.I still had another chance before my trial which was in two weeks. I sent a message to my father asking for us to meet privately.He at first refused but then sent in his response just yesterday. The only problem was that he would grace me with his presence a day before my trial. I can't wait that long.I can't wait two weeks before I get out of here, Lillian needs me. I paced my cell, tugging on my hair. I was slowly losing my mind. I pushed myself up against the bars, banging on th

    Lillian. I used my fingers to detangle my messed up hair while staring at my reflection through the water in the bowl Falco brought me a while ago.I bite down on my lower lip suppressing the sob that threatened to fall out. My hair was barely shoulder length and cut irregularly. I've never felt this much rage in my entire life. That painful urge to pick up a fork and stab it through that bitche's eye was eating at me.Yes, I was helpless but I knew I would get rescued and these fuckers would pay.I'll personally shave every single hair off her scalp with my bare hands.I wasn't too surprised when she walked in yesterday, at first she had a mask on her face but her swollen tummy gave her away.That look in her eyes was like she had already won. I didn't do anything stupid and just remained quiet till I was taken back to the basement.Now here I was preparing for the night.Falco came in placing the bowl of rice on the floor. It's the same old rice and eggs but thankfully no apple t

    Zayden Dressed in a black Armani three-piece suit, he stood before the podium, cameras flashing their lights in all directions." You're going to be in the newspaper tomorrow, Zay." Oliver chortled.I shrugged."I guess I'm getting famous." My father cleared his throat, and then a drained expression formed on his face. I've known him long enough to know when he was faking an act. Right now, he was faking it." It's with utmost sorrow that I stand before you here today. I should have addressed this issue sooner instead of letting it lie low till now." He began, his eyes looking over the crowd. " As a citizen of this great country, I must abide by the laws of our land, and an outlaw remains an outlaw regardless of whether he or she is a family member or not." He paused, using a napkin to wipe the sweat off his face."The news of my son's crimes must have circulated by now. Some of you have questioned my credibility and the credibility of my assets.
