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 Twenty three : "EAT UP" His voice boomed in her ears, heart beat accelerated with fingers twitching at the weight of his words that felt like a heavy flow of force pushing her to the edge.The smile up her lips seemed to want to falter as they now looking faint."Can't eat?" Questioned Cesar up on noticing her hesitation.His eyes seemed to be noticing her every single details her face expressed.From her slightly wavering smile extended down to the lines that creased her brows.A sense of certainty now lingered in his eyes.Taking a deep breath in, Lilly's lips parted to speak."We I'm not a fan of sea food so I rather not have it" she politely declined earning herself a hard stare from him."It would be a shame to see such fine food go to waste besides Lilly never did like sea food. It's such a coincidence you don't like it as well" his words said to her were indirect but straight to the point.His chin rested on his hand.He was testing her.Knowing fully
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty two : she's my wife"Looking for this?" Thundered a voice behind her for Lilly to make an abrupt turn in it's direction to see Cesar standing there with her phone in hand.Ever so Quickly, she reached for her phone grabbing it from his hand and also placing a good amount of distance between them.Cesar who had found the phone amongst the heap of clothing on the ground furrowed his brows at her, his head tilted to the side.Just then, the ringtone of her phone played indicating a call.With just a glance down, Lilly's heart skipped a beat up on seeing the caller's ID.It was her little darling Calling.Apologizing in her heart, she quickly went to cut the call and even when it rang again, she did the same.Soon after, the place fell silent drowning both of them in it."With your actions, one would think you are hiding something" his steps towards her echoed his movements which was calm with a stagnant gaze on her.His unnerving aura enveloped the place a
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty oneIn a dimly lit room with Crystal balls of fragmented light along with the moon which Shone into the room were the only source of light that could be seen.And in the middle was a stage with a pole stationed at the center where a lady with her skin exposed was seen.Her legs rounded the poles maneuvering her body round it, legs straight and covered in a lacy black net.Her actions and seductive dance were all for the attention of the man seated there in a well tailored trousers with a leg crossed over the other and a drink to his hand.Not a word left his lips but his black eyes was situated in a certain direction and that direction wasn't on her.Cesar who sat there gently turned the drink in his hands.The music that played though tuned down was still audible but his mind trailed back to the time of the anniversary.He had seen her.He had seen Lilly.This made him recall of another time, this time it was the incident at the airport.The voice that
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty "LILLY"She heard him speak.The sight of him was unexpected making her gaze tremble as she stared at him.Why him?Why was he here?Various emotions ran through her mind, all of which she could pin point.Was it the sense of shock she felt at the moment that made her look as though she had seen a ghost or the fear that lingered in her that made her tremble.No!She needs to be calm, she couldn't show her feet.She told herself trying to make it possible.It took her hell to regain her posture and straightening her back, she placed a smile to her lips, her head tilted a bit to the side."Mister knows me?" She asked, her melodious voice rang out but not a word left Cesar's lips. Cesar's body tensed slightly, his impending gaze focused on her.The smile on Lilly's lips didn't falter as she kept it up as long as she could.Felix who approached Cesar standing behind him gazed at the people but when his eyes fell on Lilly, he too was beyond shocked.Every
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter NineteenFinally, it was the day of the company's anniversary.Standing in front of a full length mirror was Lilly who was all dolled up looking dashing as ever.From the makeup to the outfit she wore, everything was set in ornate perfection.When the final touches of the makeup was added to her face, her eyes quickly caught on to her reflection in the mirror where her glistening skin could be seen. The elegant blue gown she wore was enveloped in bold straps of embroidery. It was an off shoulder gown and to her neck was a beautifully designed necklace which glimmered in respect to her skin."Done" said the make-up artist. With her eyes now glued to the mirror, she couldn't help but admire herself."You look quite lovely ma'am" said the makeup artist she hired for a smile to cross her lips.In her moment of admiration, her phone rang out and behold it was her little darling Calling.Picking the call which was a video call, a loud gasp left Anna's lips, her hand
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter EighteenSilence enveloped the air to the extent a pin drop could he heard.The silence came to a halt when Aria spoke."What's wrong?" Concern laced her words seeing the look on Lilly's face."It's nothing. Let's go" she said. Shortly after, the engines ignited letting the car roll into the distance.That night, they all retired for the day leaving Lilly to herself.Her gaze landed on the envelope in which its contents were still the same.Today, she had earlier asked the driver to gain some information about a woman named Mrs Cynthia, her mother.She had told she could be able to refrain her self from wanting to know how she was but she guessed wrong.When the driver brought news forward, she couldn't help but want to tear up in tears as the information she had gotten stated how critical her situation was.It turned out that she had gotten a relapse and was currently in the hospital."Mum..." She muttered.***Later the next morning, she woke up feeling weak
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Seventeen"What are you getting yourself into Lilly?" Sounded a bold voice from Sammy. His words made Lilly bite into her lips."Will you help me or not?" She questioned to hear a sigh leave his lips."Fine, I'll wipe out the footage"At his words, a smile lit up her lips."Thank you"Ever since her little ordeal at the restaurant, Lilly couldn't help but feel unease even after telling Aria to lie on her behalf.From Aria's words, she could tell Cesar didn't quite believe her and more so, she wanted to eliminate every trace of her when she thought of the CCTV footage.She had no idea in dealing with these kinds of things and could only ask for help.It was then Sammy came to mind. Back in school, he was known for hacking into the principal's computer and uping his grades.Then she condoned his act so dearly but now, who knew she would need such help now.Right when she was about to cut the call, the bold voice of Sammy sounded in her ears making chills run dow
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter SixteenAs Cesar walked in with his people, he looked graceful in the suite he wore.With each step he took in, people couldn't help but stare in admiration at him.Hearts skipped multiple beats as some of them couldn't help but secretly take pics of him.His eyes scanned the section they were in but when he couldn't see sight of Luther, he yelled out."Luther Donavon" his voice was loud and deep startling most people in there.With a motion from Felix, the men behind him spread out for them to return whispering words into Felix ear before he relayed it to Cesar."He's in the other section" said Felix and almost immediately, they headed towards the next section.At last, he came to a stop on sighting Luther who sat down with a woman next to him, her face tilting downward where she tried to have a conversation with Luther.A sigh left Felix's lips on finding Luther safe and sound now his boss could finally relax because it seemed like With each passing day, it
HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Fifteen"Lilly..." He uttered and upon hearing his voice, the call immediately got disconnected.Now this made his gaze to darken, a strange Aura filled him.One choking and terrifying to everyone in the room as they felt the tension in the air."Boss..." Called Felix but was cut short by Cesar's domineering words."Find them" he commanded marching out the door.Felix who had no idea on why the sudden change in his mood followed suite.A FEW MINUTES EARLIERLilly who had arrived with the kid to the restaurant stared at the menu.Her gaze went to the boy wondering what he would like to have."Would you like this?" She questioned him showing him the menu but no response left his lips.He had only ever said one word ever since they met him.Perhaps he was traumatized.The thought of this made pity fill Lilly's face.Going with her instinct, she picked out some dishes for him as well as herself before calling the waiters attention where she delivered it to him.Th
