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 There was one thing I hated the most.Her silence. She just stared at me blankly as if trying to process what I just said. Then suddenly a smile appeared on her face but disappeared the next second.Slowly she picked up her clothes, got dressed, and then quietly left the office. I didn't go after her, I was too weak to do so. Even if I did, how was I supposed to defend myself? I just sat there drowning in frustration till Jade came to tell me they were both retiring for the day. " What happened to Lillian?" She asked me as she grabbed Lillian's purse from the table. I kept my mouth shut. She'll find out soon enough eventually.She furrowed her brows, glaring at me." Did you two have a fight?" " Kind of."My voice was strained, that didn't sound like me at all. " Better fix whatever issue you have with her, she shouldn't face any emotional stress at this point." She pointed a finger at me." She's at that sensitive stage of pregnancy, do not stress unnecessarily." I mana

    Zayden Lillian didn't say a word.Sage waved a hand in front of her face." Are you deaf or something? You should better start packing up, I need to fumigate this place soon." Slowly, Lillian lifted her eyes. They were dead, no colour in them. The usual bluish glow was gone." What did you say?" Her voice was icy, even I felt the chill.Sage huffed, flipping her hair over her shoulders." I said I'm moving in since I'm carrying the future heir to the company. Take your trash and move out before tomorrow!" Her voice came out as a yell.Suddenly, Lillian lifted the broken mop stick, and it landed directly on Sage's head. She let out a cry as she landed on her butt. Lillian raised the stick again and sent it crashing into her head again, and then she began hitting her on the leg, purposely avoiding her tummy, back and waist. Sage screeching cries reached my ears but I just stood there watching. She couldn't even defend herself; she was as weak and helpless as a church rat. If I wa

    Zayden She wasn't answering my calls, she wasn't replying to my text. Fuck! I don't even know where she was. The house was empty, all her things were gone. The only thing she left behind was her wedding ring which she left on top of the divorce papers attached to a copy of our contract on our matrimonial bed. I didn't sign it, I just tossed both papers into the fireplace and watched it burn. All this happened while I was battling with my father in the office the following day. It was like a part of me was paralyzed. I couldn't feel a thing apart from this heavyweight and void in my chest. It weighed me down to the point I couldn't even get out of bed. Remember how I said I couldn't imagine going to sleep without her and waking up every morning without her? Well, I couldn't sleep at all. I had to start taking pills after I temporarily broke down. My lacrimal glands had been leaking a lot. The weight of the divorce was crashing down on me like an anvil, making it h

    Lillian I glanced at the wall clock, it was 10:55 in the morning. Once again I'll be late for my appointment. I had been going to the hospital for antenatal care on my own. I had to monitor my health and my baby's health. I lost a few pounds which wasn't good news for a pregnant lady. I've had pains in my abdomen a few times and that's when I knew I had to see the doctor. I was told the pains were due to emotional stress, and I had to take my mind off anything that would stress me mentally. So what have I been doing since I divorced my husband? I would wake up in the morning, do some light stretches, eat a good breakfast then watch TV till noon. I then discovered that I was developing a liking for anime. I'll sleep once it clocks twelve, and then when the sun comes down, I'll take a walk to a private clinic not too far from where I live to have a chat with my fellow expectant mothers. Pathetic! They all smile at me, pretending to show kindness to a single mother l

    Zayden They were stupid enough to film the wedding and put it on TV. Cameras were everywhere, people were murmuring about how grand the wedding was. I had some people set up cams in the chapel, I don't want to miss out on all the fun. I sat with a bag of chips in my hand, watching through the cams how Sage was going to humiliate herself and our reputation on the television. The whole world was going to see it. I smiled, can't wait to see the look on her face when she realised what she put herself into. The event started, but at a point, they couldn't move on without the groom. My phone rang, and Dad was calling. He texted, threatening me that if I didn't show up, the consequences would be dire. I only just watched the phone ring. I'm not letting that old man control me anymore. He won't be able to find me; I'm a hundred miles away from New Jersey. It's only temporary till I find a way to get out of this mess. I miss Lillian. I miss her a lot. I still hoped she'd

    Lillian My eyelids were heavy, my whole body was aching all over. The floor felt strong and rough, where the hell was I? The first thing I thought of was Zayden and our baby. A piercing pain shot through my skull from where I was hit. I felt my body swerving from left to right like I was in a vehicle. I could hear voices but my head was still spinning to even make out what they were saying. " He said not to hurt her. She's pregnant! Why the fuck did you hit her on the head." I heard a man's voice. " Shut the fuck up, Falco. I didn't hit her belly, so there's no big deal." Another one roared. The first man who appeared to be called Falco scoffed." What if she loses the baby? What are you going to tell him, huh? I'm not taking your side if that happens." My stomach lurched and I remained as still as possible. I tried desperately to feel my tummy. I didn't feel any specific pain, and I thanked God Internally. That meant I was okay and the baby was okay. All I had to do I stay

    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

    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
