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

    Zayden I got to the office with eye bags under my eyes. Every day was the same; I was losing sleep. It's been a week now, and we were going to spend a few days at my father's mansion. Because of that, we had to postpone the opening of her jewellery shop till the following week.Lillian was going to reveal the pregnancy to him there. I agreed because she would find it suspicious if I kept refusing. My mind kept racing with so many thoughts. In the end, I couldn't tell Lillian and I gave up. Whenever I open my mouth to confess, it's either a phone call disrupts me or Lillian suddenly has a new gossip to tell me and so I took it as the earth wanting me to keep my mouth shut.Let whatever wants to happen, happen. I had only seen Sage once at the office. She refused to resume work so I had to get another secretary. It was even better because Lillian comes to the office sometimes and I'd rather they don't bump into each other. I let Helena go. She wasn't hurt or anything, just a bit

    Lillian I just ended a call with Jade. She was supposed to accompany me to the opening ceremony of my jewellery shop next week, but she just informed me that she would be on her first business trip next week. So I'll have to move the date to this week. I already sent out flyers and posts on social media and it gained a lot of attention. Everything was set and I couldn't be happier. You should see the building, Zayden had great taste. I'm going to make sure to compensate him fully tonight, just the way he likes it. I'll have to postpone the visit to his father's mansion. I wanted to spread the news of my pregnancy; maybe that hot-headed old man would look at me with less Coldness in his eyes. It's been weeks since we got back from Paris and no one knows about my pregnancy, not even Claire. It's kind of odd. Zayden said he does not want to reveal it yet, but I'm tired of waiting. I went to the kitchen and met Zayden mixing god knows what in a bowl. He's a terrible cook. No m

    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
