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 Lilly's lips left her in awe."I asked for a divorce"
"What?!" She exclaimed, eyes wide open.
"I... I mean that's good but what did he say?"
At this, Lilly narrated the entire ordeal, pity filled Sofie's eyes as her hands reached out to embrace her friend."It's fine"
"Doesn't seem like it. I'm scared Sofie, what will he ask of me?"
"Hey now, don't think about it.
That wouldn't do you or the baby any good. Why don't you take a shower first then eat something.You should think of your unborn child too" A gentle smile spread across her lips on hearing Sofie speak, her mind that raced about what Cesar could do to her finally eased up.With a sigh leaving her lips and her shoulders straightened up she figured there was no need to think about what he'll do to her. He could do a million and one things to her but he would never break her.That night, her sleep wasn't peaceful as she dreamt of Cesar chasing her with a knife, a killing intent evident in his eyes as well as his entire being.Just when he was about to deliver a fatal blow with the weapon in his hand, she jerked up, her eyes wide awake.What a terrible dream it was.It wasn't far from reality.Her days rolled on, and like every normal day, she got ready leaving for work.Lilly worked at a jewelry design company.Although it wasn't a big company as they were still growing, they were the only ones that accepted to hire her even after the news of her supposed father's scandal.For this, she was grateful.Over the days that went by, Lilly's mind was at peace as there neither a word or sight of Cesar.But unfortunately, her peaceful days were cut short when she received a message from Cesar.'IT'S TIME'The words she read tensed all her muscles making them rigid.
With eyes glued to the phone she couldn't help but tremble.Beneath the message was an address.He wanted her to come meet him tonight.For long moments she stood with time seeming unfazed.Only when an external warmth coarsing through the fingers placed on her shoulder did she snap out of the temporary trance she was placed in."What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost"
The words of her friend who was also her work mate Sofie pulled her from her trance making the ridge structures of her muscles relax, her entire being now less tensed as she turned to face her."He wants to see me" was all Lilly said for Sofie to know who this 'He' was.
"You want me to accompany you?"
"No, no. I can do this on my own.
It's time to finally meet end it once and for all" she said planting a smile up her lips, a smile Sofie knew all to well to be fake."Do call me if you are in trouble.
I'm here for you"Said Sofie for Lilly to nod.From there, she took a cab back home.Upon arrival, she marched forward into the bathroom where she took a nice warm bath, before selecting casual clothes which she draped around her body and left the room heading to the location sent to her.On arriving there, she found the place to be bustling with noise, the lightning system very radiant that it was sure to attract the onlookers.Just as she stepped in, a lady in a white shirt and black denim skirt walked up to her."Mrs Lilly right?" She inquired of her for Lilly to give a nod of acknowledgement.
"Yes, this is she"
"Great, right this way.
A gift was prepared for you by Mr Donavon" Just when she was thinking of the reason he had brought her here, she heard the word 'gift' escape the lips of the woman before her making a cause for her brows to furrow in confusion.Never had Cesar gifted her any sort of gift, be it a cloth, jewelry or even a mere utter of nice words.All she received was curses and abuses from him to her.She wouldn't lie when she said she was curious to know what this gift was.Was it really a gift?She wondered but what Lilly didn't know was that the gift would be an unbearable despair.As they walked past Both men and women where some were seen making out on their seats, they arrived at a door and pulled open, they walked in to see a black box wrapped with a red ribbon sitting on the table.
It's wrap made it all the more enticing raising her curiosity but on looking inside, her soul seemed to have died that instant for what she imagined was nothing compared to the package before her.Her brows furrowed even more, lips parted to speak only to be disrupted when the lady spoke."This..."
"Ma'am, you were asked to wear this"
Staring at her was the package which had a lingerie in it.Embarrassment flushed down her face as she realized she was meant to wear it."Don't you have something else to bring?" She asked the lady.
"I'm sorry but it's from Mr Donavon.
He insists you wear it but if you aren't interested, you can leave"She said, her words only added tension to Lilly's body.Could she really bear to leave?She needed to end this and leaving meant that she would forever remain in this hell she so desperately hate.But Why bring this?
What does he want with her?Because as far as she knows, Cesar is repulsed with her body.He made it known when he took her on the night of her wedding.The disgust in his eyes pierced through her making her poor heart ache.With her job fulfilled, the lady left the room closings the door behind her leaving Lilly alone to her despair.She knew his intentions wouldn't be good when she proposed her offer.She knew she would regret it but now was no time for regrets.With a sigh, she took the package going to the dressing room where she changed into it.Now standing in front of the mirror situated there, she could see her exposed skin.The short transparent Lacey gown she wore almost did nothing to bring her comfort.And the bra she wore was made in order for her cleavage to me seenThe air that whistled through the window hitting her made her feel totally naked making her effort to try and use her hand to cover see exposed area futile.What was his motive in making her wear this?After a little while, a knock sounded on the before the voice of the woman from before was heard.Was she standing there all along?No matter how much courage she tried to build, it always seemed to get swashed up when she takes a glance at the mirror.
How pitiful and seductive she looked right now. With the door pulled open, the lady stepped in."It's time to leave.
Mr Donavon asks for you"Now residing her fate In the fact that Cesar should at least be compassionate and show her mercy, She walked out the room in her attire all the while squeezing her palm tightly almost turning her knuckles white.
As she walked out the room an into the open, the appearance of some of the women she came across made her realize she looked exactly the same.Like some prostitute doing this out of pure will."We are here" she announce making Lilly to raise her head that had been lowered all along.
"What?"
"We have arrived. You can go in now" she stated pointing towards the door.
The more Lilly thought about what was behind those doors, the more her heart raced, fingers clenched tightly causing pain to her.But the pain didn't matter as it seemed to go numb because of her soaring thoughts.Time seemed to freeze as her instincts told her to move forward while another deciding against it.At last, she made a decision to go in, her feet slowly but steady moved in when the door was pulled open.Darkness enveloped her eyes but readjusted on seeing the meager light shining from within.Her steps wavered as she approached it, heart thumping, mind racing and teeth clenching.At last she came to stand in front of him, CESAR DONAVON.His posture like that of a king, with his dark eyes gazing at her.
She could swear she heard him scoff.For a brief moment, she was glad it was only him here or so she thought when the lights came on to show three other men seated on different couches each side of him.Their lingering gaze on her made her tremble, if her heart was thumping before, now it was banging on the verge to explode.By their sides were women dressed seductively just like her trying to please them using all means.Kissing, touching and even glances sure to trap the men's attention. All had a woman except for a man on the left side of Cesar.His gaze was purely on the alcohol he was drinking but when the lights came on directed towards her, he too looked at her."You are here"
Cesar's deep voice broke the silence, a smirk dancing on his lips."Why did you bring me here?" Said Lilly mustering as much courage as she could.
"For you to fulfill our deal" he answered, the glint in his eyes giving off a sinister look.
All Lilly wanted to do at the moment was get done with whatever he wants of her and run out of there.She didn't want to be here for any second more."What will you have me do?" She said not minding the men staring at her.
"It's simple really. Seduce Mr Gu" he replied making Lilly blink in utter confusion.
"Wh...What?"
"Mr Gu just lost a very important deal worth millions"
"What do I have to do with that?" Asked Lilly.
"That's when you come in. Your job is simple really"
He looked at her, a smirk playing to lips and widening to the fullest as he leaned d back to the couch spreading his long arms."SEDUCE MR Gu.
MAKE HIM WANT YOU"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
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter Eight The fear that gripped Lilly's heart on staring at Theresa was one that completely impaled her body.Just like Cesar, she hated her to the bones but her hatred ran deep into her bones.Though she was old with streaks of white lines seen on her head, she was agile. "What did you do?" She asked as she came to crouch beside Sheila who groaned in pains.Her tears rolling down her face as she stared at her body. "It's hurts. Everywhere hurts" "Shh. It's going to be fine.Call the ambulance now!" Her words weren't on a specific person but it was enough to place the servants running to make the call.The glare thrown from madam Theresa to Lilly was one that could kill. "I... I didn't push her I swear" said Lilly, her voice cracking up. "Murderer! Murderer!" Shouted Sheila with her face twisted in pain. "How could you want to kill my unborn child" "Child?" Asked Mrs Theresa looking quite surprised. "Yes, I'm bearing Cesar's child and she wants it dead" s
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter Nine In an apartment, the sounds of whimpering and silent sobs were heard which only increased by the moment.It wasn't until a figure stepped out from the kitchen squatting next to Lilly who seemed to be having a bad dream.Only on shaking her a little did the noises die down. "Lilly" called Sophie her friend. "Lilly wake up. It's just a bad dream" said Sofie tapping her on the arm.A Curt gasp escape the lips of Lilly as she jerked forward from her sleep surveying her surroundings.She wasn't in prison and no one was strangling her.Relief filled her but it was short-lived as tears clouded her sense of vision on remembering her condition.She could now clearly remember she was on the run for yet again a crime she didn't commit and now presently, she's at Sofie's place looking for shelter. "Why are you crying?" Asked Sofie handing her the brewed coffee."Come on now, don't cry. You are innocent and I know you didn't push her" "But they don't know that or
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter Ten FIVE YEARS LATER Over at the airport, with the announcement of their destination, a lady was seen stepping out the security clearance, her long hair cascading down her back.The flawless skin of hers coupled with a bold attire were enough to leave many who stared at her in her in awe.Although the sunglasses she wore hid her eyes along with the hat that covered most of her face, most people couldn't help but stare back at the woman who made her way out as she looked exquisite more like a fine painting of a woman. A quick inhale shortly accompanied by an exhale was made from her as she took in the fresh air, her hands reaching to her glasses where she slightly lowered them to scann the place as she momentarily stopped, old memories coming alive. Behind her, was her assistant who held on to her LV suitcase and on seeing the lady stop, she couldn't help but ask. "Is something wrong?" She questioned to see a smile break out from her lips.Yes, the lady in
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter ElevenThe beeping noise coming from a machine in the hospital ward was heard and on the bed laid a figure wrapped up in bandages. The entrance of two old couples drew the doctor's attention."How is she doc?" Asked the elderly woman as she went to sit beside the bed."So far she seems to be responding to treatment which is a good thing" he informed."That's good news. Do you have any idea when she'll wake up? It's been three months now" Asked the lady for the doctor to shake his head."I'm afraid that depends on her" he informed. Shortly after his attention was called in the next ward where he needed to attend to the patient. Now they were left alone with her, pity filled their faces on recalling how they first saw her. On her body were severe burns, one so despicable to look at as she laid in the middle of the road almost lifeless. They had almost taken her for dead if it wasn't the little movement she made. As they stated at her, they noticed her eyel
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter TwelveAfter the day's work, they all returned home and on their way back, Anna couldn't stop blabbering on the kinds of dishes she would love to eat. Her words brought smile to their faces. In the end, Lilly made Anna's favorite dish which she had before clinging on to Grandpa Leo's arms and listening to his story from when he was a youth."Really grandpa? You are really brave" she said staring at him with admiration in his eyes. Lilly who stood by the side listening finally stepped forward"All right now, time for bed""No... I don't want to go to bed. It's still early" she whinnied, her arms quickly wrapping itself around grandpa Leo's neck."Don't be stubborn Anna you have school tomorrow""No we don't. It's children's day off" she said making both Grand pa leo and Lilly to burst into a fit of laughter. The things Anna could say to have her way."Grand grand, please don't let go" she cried innocently behind his ears."I won't let go but if you listen to m
HIS DARK DESIRES Chapter Thirteen With the preparation for the company's anniversary which would be held tomorrow, Cesar didn't seem settled.Everything has to be perfect because of the new investors who will show up at the event.In the study, he sat there going through some files over and over again.His attention stolen away by the inanimate object in his hand as he didn't seem to realize the entrance of a certain someone.Mrs Nancy stood there, a smile craved to her lips, the light from the study room illuminating her gray hair that stood out. " How is preparation?" She asked.Upon hearing her voice, the face of Cesar lifted to see the frail woman step in.His posture seeming relaxed when he sat back with his hand on his chin.Nancy stepped in taking a seat in front of him. " Okay" he simply said.His study room was filled with documents scattered up and down. "Seems like the new investors are keeping you on the edge. You shouldn't stress yourself. Everything will be fine" S
