Zayden

As I stepped into the boardroom, my father was tapping his fingers on the table impatiently, with Aiden beside him. There were two other board members in the room, and I hoped that the issue hadn't reached their ears. But,this was my Father. He spreads news like wild fire especially if it's about me.

"You called for me?" I asked directly, skipping all formalities.

My father slid a file over to me. "What's this nonsense, Zayden." He said with a tone of disapproval. It was the contract I signed with a neighbouring company just yesterday, and now they wanted to terminate it.

I tried maintaining a straight face, but I was taken aback. "This is not possible," I said.

"I received complaints, Zayden, and I didn't like what I heard . Since when did you become so incompetent? " He raised his voice, expressing disappointment in my work.

I gritted my teeth trying to stay calm. "Enlightenment me ".

" The presentation you made yesterday doesn't align with what's written here. Your model of device is the same as our outdated products, did you think someone in this modern age would want to use a device that'll take a minute to solve a problem?"

I squinted my brows. I had spent six months working on this, so there was not even the slightest chance that I made a mistake. I glanced over at Aiden, who seemed to be enjoying the show. It wouldn't be a surprise if Aiden had a hand in this after all; this wasn't the first time.

"Have I ever created a model that takes less than 10 seconds to solve a problem? " I asked him raising a brow.

It seems like he must have forgotten that all my models of phones have made ten times the sales than Aiden's.

" You tell me! I'm spending millions on this, Zayden. I'm giving you two weeks to come up with a new model, and if you don't start making sales within the first five days, then Aiden will take the lead in handling projects."

He got up, walking over to me." You better make yourself useful and seal the deal,zay ". And then he walked out.

Aiden came up to me next, still smiling." Looks like you're not that smart or creative after all ".

" Need I remind you that you've sealed only two contracts since you started working here four years ago ?"

His smile fell; I could see the clenching of his jaw ." Let's see if you can make a new Model in two weeks".

He patted my shoulder and walked out of the boardroom. I did the same and returned to my office, thoughts about how to go about this issue filled my mind.

It was next to impossible to get this done within two weeks, something that initially took me six months to finalize.

Anger was swirling inside me, Aiden was making things hard for me and tolerating him was becoming harder.

I got back to my office to meet Helena patiently waiting for me.

" Mr Kent, how did it go ?" She asked.

I ignored her looking over at Mrs ace. She wouldn't be going home tonight. If I wanted to get this done then I'll have to pick up the pace.

" We are doing the presentation again, so prepare everything I'll need ". I told her and heard her grasp.

"Oh my god, Over again?"

Right now, I was pissed, and her high-pitched voice was making it worse. " Get out and do what I asked ". I finally snapped.

She scurried out of the office immediately. As soon as she left, I walked over to Mrs Ace. I watched as she stiffened behind her desk.

" You'll have to work overnight today, Mrs Ace ". I told her.

She forced her head up to look at me. Her blue eyes widen into saucers. "Overnight?" She shrieked.

I only nodded. Waiting for her to make objections.

She stared at me for a while with her mouth open." Mrs Ace, close your mouth or I'll put a pen in it ".

She snapped her mouth shut immediately giving me a frown." But...but I need to go home ".

I sighed." Well, you can't because we have a project to finish, and I don't have time to waste."

She looked around contemplating. Seriously, what was her problem? I've made most of my employees stay overnight.

"But, what about my ....." She looked at me and swallowed ." My foodstuffs ".

" You can take it home tomorrow ". I gritted my teeth on remembering what she spent my money on.

"Oh, okay. Umm ...I'll think about " She whispered.

I scoffed. "I wasn't asking, that was an order ". I told her stressing the last word.

"You can either go home and freshen up, then be back before 10, or simply stay till we are done," I explained, turning on my heels, not wanting to hear any more of her questions.

She followed me to my desk. I waited for her to speak but she kept fidgeting with the hem of her dress.

"What!"

" Umm, do you have a bathroom?"

I stared at her for a moment and pointed in the direction of the door. Her eyes widened, probably the first time she noticed the extra door.

"Any more questions?"

She shook her head and hopped back to her desk. She returned seconds later and went in the direction of the bathroom to do whatever women do in bathrooms.

Five minutes later, she still hadn't come out. Helena came back with all the things I needed and retired for the day.

I was becoming impatient; it had been almost thirty minutes, and she still hadn't come out.

I began pacing the office, time was something I didn't have. We have to start now or I wouldn't be able to get this done.

I checked the time; it had been almost forty-five minutes now!

Finally, I lost it. I strode over to the door; I was about to find out why the hell women spend more time in the bathroom than men.

  • The Devil's Secretary    Chapter 122

    Zayden Five months later I was going through the documents for our project, the expansion of our jewellery shop. I had built another branch in California, and now I'm constructing another in New York. The jewellery shop was making waves; It got to the point that I now had to start shipping in new jewellery every two days. Oliver was still the CEO of Kent Tech. Lillian had tried convincing me to take it back; it was rightly mine anyway, but I refused. Besides, Oliver was handling it pretty well. For me, going back there felt suffocating, like I was offering myself over to my father's clutches again. I preferred running the jewellery shop with Lillian, and I have big plans for our business. I'll leave the company to Oliver and Jade. Speaking of which, they were getting married because Jade got pregnant. I knew she would get pregnant eventually from the start because, obviously, they weren't careful enough, and Oliver was also a horny freak like Me. Now, I'm the one giving

    Zayden There on the notice board was my name written in bold. I could not hold back my joy. I'm now a freeman. I can finally go back home and be with my wife.I'll make it to Laura's first one-year birthday. Unfortunately, my roommate didn't make it, and he didn't seem bothered about it." Congratulations, man, your efforts have finally paid off. I'm going to miss you a little." He spoke patting my shoulders.I was still in disbelief, my chest was heaving up and down. I can't wait to surprise Lillian. She would probably break down in tears once I told her the news. We were taken back to our cells and ordered to pack our stuff which was nothing much.The next morning, my release papers were being finalised, and I was told that it would take three days for everything to be processed. The wait was worth it, and while I waited, I shaved my beards off, and I bid my cellmates goodbye. Most of them were jealous while others were happy for me. I was put under surveillance on the day of

    Lillian Aiden had rejected my visit twice, he was making it hard for me to keep my promise to Zayden.I don't know if he was overly weighed down with guilt or if he simply still hates my existence. Anyway, today was another day to try again.This would be the last time that I would come here, and if he still refuses to see me, then I'm giving up on him. To my surprise, he accepted, and I was led to the visitation room that had a glass wall dividing my box from his. I guess that's how chronic criminals were kept. Aiden was brought in a minute later and the first thing I did was take in his features. He looked the same only that he had grown thick beards and had a few scars on his face.Why do prisoners even grow beards? It must have been tough there for him. He sat on the other side and picked up the telephone.I spoke first." It's been a while Aiden." He raised his eyes to meet mine, and for once, I saw the friend I had in him. The friend I thought I could confide in when things

    Zayden I went back to my cell with a smile on my face and a satisfied dick. Now I had even more zeal to push harder and get that parole. I'm going to get it at all costs. I did every single task I was instructed to. I avoided fights, a lot of them and bore insults from some proud bastard inmates. I just want to leave this place soon or I might lose my sanity. The days rolled by again, and finally, news got out that the selection had been made, and we would either go in batches to the front yard because, according to my roommate, they paste the list of people who had been chosen on a wide notice board in the front yard. But other times, they call them out of their cells to prevent a stampede because, eventually, everyone wants freedom. This time around, the names were pasted in the front yard, and our warden announced that we would go in batches to check. My blood thrummed in anticipation and agony. If my name appears there then I'm finally a free man. I kept fidgeti

    Lillian I don't think I can even remember my name. He had turned me into a hot, shuddering, and slippery mess.He pounded Into me harder than before and a loud moan escaped my lips. Drool slipped down my open mouth as my breast bounced up and down.Zayden groaned harder." Fuck....that's it. Milk my cock baby." I arched my back further and spread my legs out as far as they could go.I wanted to feel him deep in my cunt, so deep that I would feel it in my throat.He pushed his hard length into me again and I nearly lost myself." Harder...fuck me harder." I cried, the pleasure so thick and heavy that it made my legs quiver underneath me.A deep growl emanated from his throat as he flipped me around to face him." On your knees." He commanded, his eyes spitting a fiery fire.I looked up at him confused." What are you....." I didn't get to finish my sentence when he shoved my shoulders down and I landed on my knees.His cock stood outright on my face, inches away from my lips. I then un

    ZaydenMy breathing had doubled as we made our way inside the restroom. I was already salivating like an animal. I won't lie; I went to bed sometimes fantasizing about sex with Lillian. It got me hard and unbelievably horny. It's frustrating not being able to get a release, so most times, I suppress my desires, but right now, I'm letting it all out.We stopped in front of the mirror, and our eyes jammed; I saw the heated gaze in her eyes.She licked her lips and it ignited a fire that had slightly damped in me.I pulled her in immediately and we locked lips. She hummed as I dived deeper into her mouth. I ran my fingers into the locks of her hair, savouring the taste of her mouth.God! I missed this.My hands slide down to squeeze my favourite part of her body.I groaned at the feel of her breast; it had grown bigger, probably due to breastfeeding, and also softer."Damn, Lilly. I've daydreamed about this moment so many times." I hummed, picking her up and pushing her against th
