HIS DARK DESIRESChapter FourteenFinally, it was the day of the company's anniversary.Lilly who stood in front of the mirror all dolled up couldn't help but admire her own appearance.From the makeup to the outfit she wore, everything was set in ornate perfection."You look quite lovely ma'am" said the makeup artist she hired but no smile passed Lilly's lips and instead, she continued to gaze upon the mirror going back to the time of her wedding day.She had been dressed as a bride but no one acknowledged her.But now, it will be different because they will all be amazed at her presence.A sickly smile crept up her lips at this thought.From nearby, the sounds of little feet thudding the ground alerted their attention."Wow... Mummy you look lovely" stated Annabelle.The chocolate candy in her hand which could also be seen at the side of her lips made her look cute.With her image appearing on the silvery surface before her, she didn't need to turn to get a glance of her daughter, a
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter one(A wedding without a groom)In the full length mirror, Lilly stood, the makeup on her face radiated her beauty Making her look like an angel.But she was no angel, they didn't believe she was an angel instead they called her a murderer's daughter.They thought she deserved nothing but death.But behind the makeup done on her face, her sorrows were seen.Though she never cried when words were thrown her way but she couldn't deny the fact that it still hurt.But the first time she had let her guard down by letting her emotions run loose was at the death of her father.The incident played in her head every single day and night.Each time she walked the streets, she would tremble for it was on the street she lost an important person in her life. It was in the cold freezing night the accident occured, the screeching sound of a truck accompanied by a loud bang filled the air and in that moment, a body dropped along the wet streets with a loud thud."Dad!" She y
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter two But there was no groom.It wasn't a surprise to Lilly that he hadn't shown up.The corners of her lips curved up into a smile, she wasn't laughing at him.No, she was laughing at herself. She very well knew he was making her the laughing stock of the city but she still showed up.The once infamous daughter of William Smith now turned to a ridicule. "Where's the groom?" Asked the priest in front of her but no words left her lips.Her fingers dug into the piece of fabric, throat aching from trying resist the tears that threatened to form. "Young lady..." said the priest only to be interrupted when she spoke. "He isn't coming" She said for the priest to somewhat look surprised, a sigh leaving his lips as he shook his head at how pitiful the lady looked.Lilly could hear their laughter echoing round the hall, although her gaze was stationed in front of her, she could feel their stares and their fingers pointing at her.The mocking glint In their eyes.L
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter three "CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR PREGNANT" announced the doctor. In the dark night which was enveloped by a heavy rain, a flash of lightening split through the open sky illuminating a pale face.There, Lilly Donavon sat, her mind loss for words with eyes wide open in surprise. Although his words were loud and clear enough, Lilly couldn't help but ask as a dumb founded Expression mered her face. "What? How?" "I said you are pregnant. Two months to be precise" He said flashing her a smile but wasn't reciprocated by Lilly who could feel her heart pounding in her chest.She couldn't be pregnant.How?At first she had thought she was tired from work and all but looking at the test in her hand, it only confirmed the doctor's words were in deed true.This meant, she was pregnant for Cesar. It has been almost a year after her wedding which was quite a sensation in the city.Their mocking gazes and talks reduced by alot but the only thing that still remained the sam
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter four "I WANT A DIVORCE"At the words of Lilly, the atmosphere became a whole lot tensed as it triggered something deep in Cesar.Taking predatory steps towards her, he spoke. "I dare you to say it again" His words flowed, tone so calm but yet underneath was a terrifying aura to it.Lilly who noticed this shivered a bit. "I... I want a divor..." Right before Lilly could fully utter her words, she felt a dense pressure on her neck. "Who do you think you are asking for a divorce?You are no one, no body" he said not caring about the pressure he applied to her neck.His words enhanced Lilly's sad smile making her lips curve upwards. "Aren't you tired? Because I am.I'm tired of this hell called a marriage.Shouldn't you be happy you'll be free from me?Get to live your life the way you want to?" She asked, her words sounding a bit persuasive which only brought a scoff up Cesar's lips. "Tired? Who said I'm tired?Seeing you suffer everyday brings me joy.I p
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter five Now left all alone and drenched from the rain, she slowly made her way back to the house where she got her things.She knew she couldn't stay here.At least to give her mother time to process everything.With Cesar's action's, her hate towards him only increased. As she recked her brain on what to do, that's when she received a call from Sophie her friend.Her voice sounding in her ears when she picked up the call. "How are you doing Lilly?" She asked for silence to reign from her. "I'm not good. Please come pick me up" "Alright" That was all she said before she came rushing to her aid.In the car, silence reigned, Sofie who had arrived didn't say a word only looking at the disheveled state of her friend.Up on arrival back to her place, a glass of water was offered to Lilly. "Ready to talk now?" asked Sofie to receive a nod from her. "Is it Cesar? Did he do something this time?" A tinge of curiosity laced Sofie's voice but the words that left Li
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter six"SEDUCE MR Gu.MAKE HIM WANT YOU" The words were firm and audible making Lilly's eyes go wide in shock.She didn't believe she heard well or more like she didn't want to believe she heard him say that."What?!" She exclaimed, her breathing coming out in an uneven form."You heard me" his tone came out in a relaxed form as he crossed his leg over the other.The smirk dancing on his lips meeting her eyes.So he was indeed serious."You can't be serious. I'm not doing anything of such" Her affirmative voice made a frown to cross his forehead."You will do as I say""I won't do such a thing. Ask anything from me but not this" A cry of plea left her lips, her head now downcast as she hoped for him to make a change."You will do as I say or else you will have to bear the consequences. Now, start"He ordered averting his gaze to Mr Gu who seemed to be so focus on downing his alcohol.But the unmoved figure before Cesar made his frown deepen, the playful smirk
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter seven "I'M PREGNANT" She informed.She informed.Sheila's eyes looking at Cesar never left him and when she saw there wasn't a change in his reaction, a sudden sense of disappointment clouded her heart.He stood tall unbothered by her words and for long moments, silence reigned. "Who's the father? He questioned making her feel even more stupid. "You are. Who else?I just don't go around sleeping with anyone" she said.Once again, the ward fell silent but broke when Cesar spoke up. "I'll take responsibility"With these few words of his, she felt revived, a smile crossing her lips.Just when she raised her head to speak to him, she saw him making his way out the door which stunned her for a moment.Hesitantly she spoke halting his movements. "And Lilly?" She questioned. "What about her?"his bold voice sounded. "Since I'll bear your child, there's no need keeping her around.I mean... We'll become parents soon.What will people think of m..." "Why don't
