Zayden

The hands of the clock ticked very slowly. I didn't sleep, I stayed up and counted each second.

It kept ticking, each second felt like an hour.

Five...four....three...two...one!

Midnight.

I walked over to the bars, there was a camera right in front of my cell. It was in every cell in the precinct. My eyes were glued to it, waiting for the blinking red light to switch off.

I waited while glancing at the clock at intervals. The officers that went on patrol would be back by 2pm so I had two hours to break out of this place.

A minute passed and nothing happened.

I began pacing; it's just a minute, right? Maybe Blondie got jammed with something. He can't possibly back out, I'm giving him six hundred fucking dollars.

My hands were jerking uncontrollably. I glanced at the clock again; five minutes had passed, and I could still see that blinking red light from the cameras.

I tugged my hair, I'll wait a little longer. I don't want to have to resort to drastic measures.

    Zayden We spent half an hour trying to shake off the cops.They were very persistent and chased us around town. We managed to take down two of their cars, but no casualties were obtained. And then, finally, we lost them. " I think we should shift the rescue to tomorrow night." Oliver suggested." Hell, no! I'm getting my wife back today!" I countered.Oliver did the face slap." It's almost daybreak. The journey to Delaware would be a long one, and then it would be broadcast tomorrow morning that an inmate broke out of his cell." " Then we better start now," I added, walking over to the back of the van to change my bloodied clothes. Oliver had successfully removed the bullet manually and stitched me up. I had to force myself to think of Lillian's boobs so I wouldn't pass out from the pain.Oliver sighed but didn't say anything more. " Let's run over the plan then," I spoke up, gathering all the men together." The search starts from here," I said pointing at an old manor. "It's

    Zayden Oliver groaned, clutching his injured arm. I ran over to him, more gunshots firing through the air." Take whoever is shooting down, right now!" I yelled.I knelt beside him, trying to put pressure on the wound." Ahh...fuck! You didn't tell me it hurt this much." He groaned, his face turning beet red.I tore a piece from my jacket and wrapped it around the wound to stop the bleeding." What? Did you expect an orgasm?" I crooked a brow.He threw a glare my way or at least tried to. His face twisted in agony as I lifted him up.I can't carry him any more than this because my gunshot wound was still fresh. I did not want to reopen it, at least not yet." Stay here and call for help if you can't bear the pain," I told him.He shook his head "No way, I'm going in." " Can you handle it?" He stood on both feet, sweat pouring down his face." It's just my left arm, I can manage." I scrutinized him for a moment and then shook my head." You look like you are going to pass out. Go ba

  • The Devil's Secretary    Chapter 1.

    Lillian I walked into the massive building, careful not to let the mud on my shoes stain the sparkling white tiles. I received an email yesterday that I had passed the job interview so here I was on my first day as a secretary. Walking over to a lady behind the reception, I gave her a sweet smile. “ Umm, excuse me. I'm Lillian Ace." She grasped.“ Ohh, our new employee!” I nodded, still smiling even though my lips hurt. “Give me a minute,” she said then typed something on the computer before turning to face me again. She looked me up and down slowly with a smug smile on her face. I suddenly felt self-conscious. I was wearing a sunset yellow dress and a pair of white Stilettos. “ Is this how you dressed in your previous work?” She snarled. My previous work was at a café, I wore jeans every single day, but I wasn't going to blurt that out. “Well, it's decent enough."I retorted. She smacked her red painted lips shaking her head. “ Miss, we have a dress code here. All

    Lillian I followed them to the elevator looking like a puppy drenched in cold water. The receptionist whose name turned out to be Helena had been glaring daggers at me. I noticed that some buttons on her shirt had popped open. She had been arching her back, pushing up her already exposed boobs. Obviously, her squeaking like a church rat all the way to the elevator wasn't to annoy me but to impress her boss. Mr. Stone face hadn't even glanced at her the whole time. He had glanced at me once when I almost tripped and had to grab his hand for support. The look he gave me was enough to slit my throat. He was scary and cold and a jackass. We entered his office which was grand and bigger than the apartment I lived in. “Get me my work file and the sketchbook."He ordered. Helena stomped out of the office immediately leaving me and Stone face alone. He turned to face me, taking a step towards me. “ You will type out every single page until your fingers break, and then you'l

    Zayden I watched as she ran out of my office sobbing. Today has been one of the worst days of my life. My eyes fell on the stack of flies on her desk. She only managed to type 50 documents and didn't even print them. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. If I don't get this done before tomorrow, then I might lose the contract and then Aiden would be on cloud nine. My father made us compete, he always made us compete even if we were siblings. This time, whoever manages to get the contract with a neighboring tech company would get additional 5 percent shares from my father. Originally, I should remain the CEO, but Aiden had been creating a fuss about it. And now, that red-haired girl was about to sabotage my plan. I now regretted telling her she was laid off. That was much too easy, She should be punished for ruining my presentation. I picked up my phone to call Helena, those documents weren't going to sort themselves. “Don't go home yet, we have to finish up be

    Lillian I have been staring at the mail I received this morning for the past one-hour now. I cried my eyes out yesterday thinking I was now fired and had to continue my job as a dishwasher at the bar. Yesterday I managed to go to my shift after crying at my parent's grave. I had been so moody until I returned home by 3am this morning. My boss reduced my pay, saying I was late and there was no wine glass to serve the customers. But, at least I've got some extra dollars to spare. I came home looking like a ghost about to drown myself in self-pity then start another job hunt when I received the mail. For once, it seems like the earth was in my favor. “Are you not going to go ?” Jade asked as she got dressed for work. I sighed. “ If I don't I'll continue to be miserable”. “Exactly!” She exclaimed, making me chuckle. “ Girl, this is the highest paying job you've gotten in your lifetime. Yesterday was a mistake and that's that. Today is a new day”. I screamed Into my pillow. “

    Zayden I looked from the trunk of the minivan and back at my secretary. For the first time in my life I was dumbfounded. I had no words. I looked over to the driver. “ I swear on my grandma, sir, I have no hand in this.” He spoke. I looked over at Mr. Ace. She shifted uncomfortably on her feet, pouting her lips. I honestly did not know whether to be angry or not. She had just spent thousands of dollars on food stuffs that were enough to throw a party. The groceries ranged from all kinds of fruits to cereals, snacks,rice, pastries,fruit drinks and even wine. I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Maybe I should have just laid her off and saved myself the trouble. The only reason I gave her my credit card was to appease my conscience for yesterday. “Mrs. Ace, please tell me that you at least got yourself more than one dress”. I sighed. “I thought you said just one blazer for the conference”. She whined. I only stared at her. A mixture of unknown emotions swirling

    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

    Zayden Just like I predicted, Thomas was found dead the next morning. It was broadcast on the radio that he was brutally murdered in his home at 1 pm last night. The surviving wife and child were taken into police custody immediately, and a thorough search for Tyrell was set in motion. Once again Tyrell left his signature in the gory scene. The state was in an uproar. The police began night patrol but I knew that wouldn't stop him. The police needed extra forces, so the officers in the precinct were reduced by, half, which thankfully was to my advantage. At night, half the officers would go out for patrol to protect their citizens, and that's when I'd break out I have about eight hours before nightfall. I'd lie if I said I wasn't nervous butt at this point, I couldn't care less. The only problem I was faced with was getting the keys from Blondie. He would keep watch tonight, I planned on bribing him, but there's a fifty per cent chance that it would work. I'll just have to

    Zayden Aiden was soaring high. He was making a name for himself in my place. I was forced to listen because that stupid blondie refused to turn off the radio. I didn't complain after; at least I got to know what was happening in the outside world. Aiden launched a project, and it gained fame; he received praise here and there. The press was all over him, some releasing articles saying The company has doubled its assets since Aiden stepped in. Apart from that, the news was boring. I had sent another message to my dad through Oliver. He refused to see me and asked that I be patient till the day before my trial which was eleven days from now. I'm not a patient man.I had no choice but to fall back to breaking out of prison. Don't get me wrong, I haven't done this before, and I still have no idea how I am going to go about it. I've seen a few movies, so breaking out of prison shouldn't be that hard right?Wrong!It's as hard as hell, even with the blueprint at the back of my min

    Zayden I was kept in a cell. I would be transferred to Fox River prison if I was found guilty two weeks from now.It's not that I don't trust my lawyer, the worst that could happen would be me getting locked up but with a reduced sentence, Maybe forty years.I cringe at that thought, it wouldn't bother me so much if Lillian was coming to see me.But the fact that she still hadn't been found was eating me up from the inside.My plan failed; I couldn't get my father to talk, and I cursed myself for it.I still had another chance before my trial which was in two weeks. I sent a message to my father asking for us to meet privately.He at first refused but then sent in his response just yesterday. The only problem was that he would grace me with his presence a day before my trial. I can't wait that long.I can't wait two weeks before I get out of here, Lillian needs me. I paced my cell, tugging on my hair. I was slowly losing my mind. I pushed myself up against the bars, banging on th

    Lillian. I used my fingers to detangle my messed up hair while staring at my reflection through the water in the bowl Falco brought me a while ago.I bite down on my lower lip suppressing the sob that threatened to fall out. My hair was barely shoulder length and cut irregularly. I've never felt this much rage in my entire life. That painful urge to pick up a fork and stab it through that bitche's eye was eating at me.Yes, I was helpless but I knew I would get rescued and these fuckers would pay.I'll personally shave every single hair off her scalp with my bare hands.I wasn't too surprised when she walked in yesterday, at first she had a mask on her face but her swollen tummy gave her away.That look in her eyes was like she had already won. I didn't do anything stupid and just remained quiet till I was taken back to the basement.Now here I was preparing for the night.Falco came in placing the bowl of rice on the floor. It's the same old rice and eggs but thankfully no apple t

    Zayden Dressed in a black Armani three-piece suit, he stood before the podium, cameras flashing their lights in all directions." You're going to be in the newspaper tomorrow, Zay." Oliver chortled.I shrugged."I guess I'm getting famous." My father cleared his throat, and then a drained expression formed on his face. I've known him long enough to know when he was faking an act. Right now, he was faking it." It's with utmost sorrow that I stand before you here today. I should have addressed this issue sooner instead of letting it lie low till now." He began, his eyes looking over the crowd. " As a citizen of this great country, I must abide by the laws of our land, and an outlaw remains an outlaw regardless of whether he or she is a family member or not." He paused, using a napkin to wipe the sweat off his face."The news of my son's crimes must have circulated by now. Some of you have questioned my credibility and the credibility of my assets. The revelation has been a great blo

    ZaydenIt's been four days!Four fucking long days.I paced the room, my hand tugging my hair violently. I went back to where Oliver was tapping away at the keyboard. " Anything?" I asked for the tenth time now.I heard him sigh." Nope! There's no trace of the van." I clenched my fists tightly, I was going crazy every second. The van which abducted my wife was last seen at Bridgeton.The cops took two fucking days to find it, and then they couldn't do anything past there. If I owned a police station, I'd burn down the place, including those incompetent jerks in uniforms. I took matters into my own hands and began the search myself along with Oliver. So far, progress has been slow. There was no facial ID, not even a glimpse of the driver. The only lead we had was the van's plate number, which was last seen in Bridgeton. Whoever they were, it was either they dumped the vehicle at Bridgeton to lure us away from the initial location, or we were not just looking deep enough. My fir
