Sheer jealousy

21HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty One"WHO THE HELL IS HE TO YOU?!"The sudden outburst shattered the pleasant silence of the restaurant. Instantly, heads turned from the neighboring tables to land on table 12. The utensils that clinked came to a halt as the heavy aura of Cesar Donavon suffocated the room.Lilly didn't flinch. Instead she slowly she set her glass of water down on the crisp white tablecloth on the table.The memory of how she nearly died from taking the seafood came rushing back into her mind making her cold exterior to emerge."Mr Cesar, I believe your assistant called me mentioning of your apology but looking at you now, seems your apology was entirely just a show" She spoke with an icy tone as she leaned back in her chair, looking up at him with an expression of supreme boredom. "Fuck the apology. Do you think I'll apologize to you? I asked you a question, Lilly" Cesar snarled, stepping closer."Leela" corrected Lilly for Cesar's to clench his fists, his knuck

Stay away from Cesar

22HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty two"Cesar what now? Luther is extremely upset" uttered Sheila as she buckled her seat belt only to be ignored by Cesar who gripped the steering wheel tightly.Through the entire ride not a word left Cesar's mouth till they arrived at the mansion. He has locked himself in the study room apart from later that evening where Cirrus came to meet him informing him of Lilly's plan to sign the joint ventures tomorrow.Sheila was passing by to bring food to Cesar when she heard this. Just the thought of the two of them spending time together made her heart to ache with fury. Placing two knocks on the door, she stepped in dropping the tray to the table."What is it?" Demanded Cesar."I was worried about you That's why I brought food for you. Also, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation and I was wondering, if... If I could work in your company Cesar" she asked for Cesar's brows to furrow at this."I should employ you? Why should I do that?""Well...

The humiliation

23HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty three Finally, Friday had arrived but on her seat sat Lilly, her hands stared at a picture. The only picture she had left of her family.Gently tears rolled down her eye lids landing softly on the old picture that had been framed by her. Truth be told, even when she acted like a strong woman whose out to get vengeance, the remnants of the old Lilly was still very much present."I miss you dad" she uttered softly but when her gaze went to her mother, she had an indifference in her emotion. Four years ago she had remembered vividly when she had begged her to believe her.What sort of mother wouldn't believe her own daughter? But even with that she couldn't bring herself to despise her she was her mother after all."Leela the gala will soon beg... Leela?" Jason who had stepped in caught her tears, his words startled her making her wipe her tears off. "Leela? What's wrong?" Jason asked and with a flick of his hands, he dismissed the maid he had broug

24HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty fourEARLIER Right after Sheila had left to take a fresh air, inside the venue, the master of the ceremony took the stage once more and taking up the microphone, he began."Ladies and gentle men, before we are all called to the dance floor, I would like Mr Cesar and miss Leela whose the head of their individual company to have the opening dance for us if you guys don't mind" he uttered gesturing to both Cesar and Leela on the high table.Hearing her name being called, Leela lifted her eyes to Cesar.Cesar on his seat had intended to reject the dance."No I can't...""Mr Cesar, come on. It's just a dance" uttered Lilly with a smile on her lips.There was something about her looks that charmed him and up on seeing the smile that lingered on her lips, he has nodded standing from his seat."Please give a round of applause for them as they make their way over here" said the MC.In that moment, a round of applaud sounded as they sheered them on.Lilly as w

The kiss

25HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty five"WHO DARED TO RAISE A HAND ON YOU?!"Thundered Bruno."How did you...""Jason told me. What happened?"he spoke with anger in his voice. Mr Bruno Alistair was always one to care about her."Everything I want to happen happened"Lilly uttered as she was more than satisfied with the turn of event and although Sheila went wild on her, she didn't mind.She was going to make Sheila go completely crazy.Her gaze remained outside the window to see them arguing in which one of them was crying and the other seemed to be shouting at her."Things went more than I expected it to go. The best part is yet to happen.You don't have to worry about me. I'm perfectly fine""Here I am getting worried about you and you seem to be having... Fun" the amusement in his voice was heard making Lilly to giggle."This is only the beginning. I'm going to make Sheila go crazy" she smirked with an evil glint in her eyes as she stared at Anna."How? don't tell me you want to pla

I am your worst nightmare

26HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty sixNot by Cesar's hands but by his lips!It was then realization hit her that 'CESAR DONAVON WAS KISSING HER!!!'Lilly’s eyes went wide with shock. Her back was pressed hard against the cold, rough wall behind her and her entire body froze up.The heat of Cesar’s lips against hers sent a violent jolt through her system.He wasn't just kissing her. He was desperately trying to stop her from making a sound. The scent of his expensive cologne penetrated her nose- masculine and woody.For one terrifying second, the remnants of the old Lilly, the girl who had once loved this man with every fiber of her being threatened to wake up.But then the dark, burning ice of vengeance kicked in. How dare he? How dare he touch her with the same hands that had ruined her life?!The heavy footsteps of the security guards around the corner sounded even closer now as they approached them, the beams of their flashlights cutting through the dark alley."Hey! Who's ove

Trapped

27HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty seven "I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, CESAR" The confession hung in the air like a physical blow.Cesar’s grip on her chin tightened, his knuckles turning white. His heart was thudding so violently against his ribs that he was certain she could hear it. Looking into those fierce hazel eyes of hers, he saw a ghost. He saw the girl he had broken, the one he had buried beneath his ruthlessness and a loveless marriage."Lilly..." The name tore from his throat, stripped of all his usual arrogance like a desperate plea."It is you" he uttered for his hands to tremble, his eyes going to blink not once but twice.She was here in the flesh.Cesar didn't know why but he felt... Relieved with a wave of happiness washing over him.Lilly didn't flinch.Instead, her smirk widened into something sharp, predatory, and entirely detached."Lilly? Really?Wow. You really are losing your mind, Mr Cesar"She uttered, the name 'Lilly' rolling off her tongue with pure amuseme

Pay back

28HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty eight "What did you say?""WE ARE TRAPPED" Said Cesar enunciating each word."You have to be kidding me""Unfortunately, I'm not" said Cesar in a carefree tone that only added fuel to Lilly's irritation."You brought me out here so you have to fix this.I can't be trapped in the middle of who knows where with you!" The argument was cut short by a low, rumbling growl from the sky. The thick, heavy clouds had rolled in over the treetops, completely blocking out the moonlight gave a sign of the incoming storm that was yet to hit.Within seconds, a massive drop of rain hit the dusty ground, followed instantly by a torrent of heavy down pour."Get Inside. Now," Cesar commanded, grabbing her arm."Don't touch me!" Lilly barked, ripping her arm from his grip."I'm not going anywhere with you""So you prefer to drench in the rain" yelled Cesar whose voice was a little inaudible as a result of the loud thunder that struck the sky.But on seeing her resilient

She's dying

29HIS DARK DESIRESChapter Twenty nine"ANYTHING" "You would really do anything?" Asked Lilly with a menacing smirk up her lips as her eyes stared at Cesar who stood before her."Careful, Cesar" she murmured, her voice a low, dangerous purr. "A man in your position shouldn't throw around words like 'anything' so recklessly. When you say anything do you know what it implies?"Cesar didn't move.It was a bizarre sight.The ruthless, untouchable Cesar Donovan, looking at her with a vulnerability that felt almost pathetic."I know exactly what it means. If it keeps you from pulling your shares and forgetting all this" Cesar said, his voice dropping to a low whisper. Lilly’s smirk deepened, sharp and cutting, a stark contrast to the vulnerable woman who had once occupied his house and his name."My price isn't financial, Cesar. I have more money than I know what to do with""By tomorrow morning, the tow truck will return. The roads will clear. If you want me to even consider sitting dow
