Lillian "I'm having a flow, the type that happens monthly." I said clearing my throat not to look awkward. He dipped his hands in his pockets, straightening his stance. " You'll have to use more words, Mrs Ace ." I swallowed ,wishing the ground would open up and swallow me. " And please get up from the floor!" He scolded. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't because I was a thousand per cent sure that the white towel was stained. From the pain in my lower abdomen, I could tell I was leaking like my kitchen sink ."I...I...can't ". " You can't?... Mrs ace, do I have to remind you that we have a lot of work to do ?" I looked up to meet his stare; our eyes locked for a moment until his eye trailed down to my chest. I did my best to assume that he didn't just look at my boobs." You don't understand, I really can't ". I told him, a worried expression plastered on my face. "Then make me understand and do it quickly!" His eyes were still on my boobs. How can he still keep a
Zayden I was beginning to think maybe I should just dismiss her. Dealing with women was more exhilarating than with men. If I hadn't knocked then she probably wouldn't have come out. Even now she still had spent almost 10mins in the bathroom. I sighed heavily and set myself to work. I'll just lay the groundwork today and then begin properly tomorrow. And that's why I need extra hands, editing the template wouldn't be easy. Just then, she finally came out of the bathroom. The image of her wrapped in my towel suddenly flashed before my eyes. I had to shake my head to clear my mind of those thoughts. Standing in front of me, fidgeting with her dress, she spoke, " Umm, Mr Kent, thank you for the umm....stuff". My eyes went to her chest, something I found hard to stop doing since I saw her cleavage. "Get to work, start with editing the files I sent to you !" I said coldly. She stood there for a while before turning to walk away but paused. "Umm, is it alright to ask
Lillian There was no way I'd back down. One thing I hate is being aware of something bad and doing nothing about it. And now this jerk of a boss was too hard-headed to listen to opinions from others. I had to hold my breath as he cornered me. "You're saying that I made a mistake?" His voice was hoarse. I had to turn my face sideways or I would feel his breath on my face. "You're not Jesus, Mr Kent. So, yes you made a mistake". I told him.I could feel the anger emanating from him." If you'll just hear me out maybe you'll understand why you'll get rejected." I watched him grit his teeth, struggling to make a decision. "Fine, but if this proves to be a waste of time then you're fired ".I raised my chin, confident of what I was doing, or at least I thought so.He finally stepped away, returning to his desk. I could finally breathe properly. I cleared my throat, placing the iPad right in front of his face. " Well, the issue is your product is directed at the wrong audience
Lillian "Thanks for driving me !" I waved at Aiden. "I could wait till you're done getting ready and then drop you off ." He spoke, getting out of the car. "Oh...no, it's fine . You've done enough". He faked a frown. " You don't want to invite me in ?" "I don't want to take your time; it's still early . I'm sure you have other things to do ". If only he knew I wanted him gone because I was too ashamed of where I lived. I know I shouldn't be; some people were homeless, but still, this was my boss's brother. I didn't want him to think any less of me. He remained silent for a few seconds. " Alright, I'll take a ride and be back in an hour. How about that ?" I chuckled. At least I'll get to save money so why refuse the offer?" Alright then, see you in an hour". He nodded and drove off. I ran to my apartment hoping Jade hadn't gone to work yet. I missed her call yesterday because my phone was on silent. The door was open, indicating she was still in. I breathed in relief as
Lillian " Oh, it seems like your boss's brother is here ", Jade said, pulling us apart. My eyes darted to the clock on the wall. It wasn't even an hour yet, so why was he here so soon?" Oh shit, I haven't even had my bath yet!" Jade rolled her eyes "Relax, Lily, we are not even sure if it's him. It might be the neighbours or maybe someone else. I'll go check". She left the next second and was back in a jiffy. "It's Nico, he's here to pick me up. I'll see you later, Lily." She squealed.And just like that. She picked up her bag and exited the room. I didn't even get the chance to ask when she was moving out.Just then, my phone made a beep sound. I picked it up to see a text from the almighty Mr Stone's face. He was requesting that I dress properly for the conference at 3:00 p.m.I rolled my eyes; if the conference was at 3:00 p.m., then why did I have to go to work before 10. Considering that I had worked overnight. Sighing, I went into the bathroom to have a bath, after which I
Lillian."Mrs Ace, are you sure you have something suitable to wear?". He said taking a turn on 9th street. We were 10 minutes from where I lived." Well, yes ".He glanced at me and then back at the road ahead. " If this turns out to be a waste of time, I'm subtracting 20 dollars from your pay ". I swallowed." It's that black dress I wore on my second day ". The car immediately came to a halt and if I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, my head would have crashed on the glove box."Why did you stop so suddenly!". I shrieked in annoyance.He didn't even apologize; he just turned the car around and sped off."Where are you going now!" He remained silent. I finally snapped. " I hope you remain dumb forever". He finally turned in my direction, slowing down a little. His left brow was twitching indicating agitation."You are not dressing like a high school girl going clubbing to the conference !". I wanted to say something to counter his words, but I was at a loss. After a few minutes, we
Lillian" Mrs Ace ?" "Yes, Zayden ". I said wriggling my brows at him.You should see the expression on his face. I had to stifle my laughter, even his ears turned red. He cleared his throat. " What did you do with all that food? ". I wasn't expecting him to ask about that. "I've been munching on them little by little ". " All by yourself?" I nodded. " Yep, do you want some . I could get some for you, it's indirectly yours too ". He sighed. " We're here ". I then realized that we had arrived at the conference. I suddenly tensed. There were a lot of expensive-looking people and cameras and a long red carpet at the entrance. The flashlight was blinding "Umm, am I to wait here ?".He scoffed." Then why did you come in the first place ".I swallowed as I got out of the car. I was having cold feet. The air alone seemed intimidating. " Relax, all you have to do is nod and smile". He assured me. We began walking towards the entrance when we were stopped by a high-pitched voice.
Zayden Grabbing her hand, I dragged her forcefully away from that piece of trash. I despise her interactions with Aiden, it makes my blood boil. " Let go of me !" She tried freeing herself from my grip, but I wasn't going to stop till we were away from the crowd. I dragged her upstairs and onto the balcony of the hall.I finally let go of her hand, watching as she fumed."What is wrong with you !" She yelled freeing herself from my grip." I'm going to say this once ". I told her taking a step closer."Stay away from my brother !" She snorted." It's none of your business who I associate with ". I gritted my teeth." You are my secretary, not his; you are only allowed to spend nothing more than three minutes in his company". Crossing her hands over her chest, she flipped her hair over her shoulder." Care to explain why ?" "Because I said so !" She snickered, turning to leave." I'd rather keep company with someone who doesn't have anger issues"I grabbed her wrist, irritatio
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
Zayden The days passed so slowly. I had carried such a heavy weight on my shoulders till this very moment. How did I survive these last twelve months in solitude and without Lillian? I spent my time being on good behaviour and obeying every single instruction the officers gave. Don't get me wrong, life in prison isn't something you should wish for. And it also isn't for the weak. There had been about two to three suicide cases each month. What kept me going was the thought that I had a wife and daughter to go home to, unlike my roommate, who had no one outside these walls. I don't know how he managed to crack jokes each day and interact with other inmates but his outspokenness gave me some solace. At least I got the chance to get my mind off my predicament and enjoy some good company. I did learn a thing or two from the people here. Half the population of Inmantes claimed to have been wrongly accused. I believed it because the guilty ones bragged about their crimes every chance
Lillian Time flew by so slowly that I could count each wavering second. Every day felt like the wind; of course, I had Jade, Oliver and Noah, but I still felt that absence.That hollow feeling like there was a wormhole in my belly. Like a missing piece to a puzzle. Like I can't breathe yet air passes in and out of my nostrils.Laura had been discharged and she was a hefty baby. She Cries a lot and makes faces whenever she feels like it.It's been a year since Zayden's imprisonment, and he hasn't been granted bail, nor has he been granted any form of visitation.It wasn't until last week that he was finally allowed to get visits, and so, for the first time, I'm going to the Fox River Prison to pay my husband a visit.He would be surprised how much Laura had grown, and the striking resemblance they shared.She had grey eyes and a troublesome personality. Always clawing at my clothes or pulling at my hair. And then she would crawl on the floor, scattering her toys and a whole lot
Lillian Just when I thought we already had victory. Just when I thought we could finally be happy and be together. Now, it all came crashing back down. Ten years! I blinked rapidly. Maybe this was all a dream, and I'll wake up anytime soon. But it wasn't! Jade tapped my finger, interlacing her fingers with mine." They are kidding, right? I crooked, another tear escaping my eyelid. The judge stood to his feet, ready to take his leave. I looked over the crowd frantically. The cops were already moving to take Zayden away. He lost his freedom because of me, because he broke out of prison to save me. No ...it can't end like this. We have to do something. I looked over at Oliver who seemed to be in a daze, complete disbelief all over his face. The next moment, I stood to my feet; if no one was going to do anything, then I would. I don't care if I was obstructing justice or not; my husband can't spend 10 years in prison for coming to rescue me from kidnappers. " Wait! " M
Zayden The Present... Just a little longer, I'll allow that godforsaken lawyer to exhaust all accusations against me first. Oliver and I exchanged glances and a small smile appeared on my lips. He tapped my lawyer beside him and whispered something into his ears. I flexed my muscles relaxing further into the cushion. I have a confession to make! I know I made my story sound so sad, hopeless and all that shit, but it was all a ruse. Just hear me out ... Four days ago, Oliver had set up the camera and bugs in the manor at Brigantine. There was no telling where we would meet so he installed cameras in all corners of the house. How did I know he would take me to Brigantine? Well, it was pretty simple, and all thanks to my wife and Oliver. God! I don't know what I'll do without that woman. She told me almost a week back that one of the officers owed her a favour because she risked her life to get Tyrell arrested and so she struck a deal with him with the
Lillian Four days ago... I fidgeted with the hem of my sleeve as I waited for the officer to enter the office. Oliver patted my shoulders." Relax, if this doesn't work out then we will fall back to plan B." My head whipped around to look at him." Plan B of Zayden pleading guilty?" My head hurts; these last few days, I've had sleepless nights trying to find missing pieces to help Zayden, coupled with the fact that I have to go to the hospital and spend at least three hours with Laura. Oliver sighed." That's why it's a plan B, so chill. Innocent people always get justice." I crooked a brow, a scoff escaping my lips." Oh really? Walter Swift was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Ray Twoler too, and then there's Kirk Bloodsworth. They all got sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes they didn't commit." Oliver rolled his eyes." All three people you mentioned got exonerated and got the justice they deserved." I turned my chair to face him pro
