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 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 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

    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

    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.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

    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

    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
