PERSYI woke up with the craziest headache. I could swear that there was a violent party going on in my head right now, and my throat was really dry, too.In all, I did not feel too good. I reached my hand to my forehead and my hand landed on a wet cloth on my head. Confused, I started to take it off when I heard his voice, "Leave that there, you've been burning up."Aiden? I did not get off the bed, though, because the headache chose that time to come back with full force. I moaned in pain, and shut my eyes, beginning to faintly smell something nice. I knew the smell of my favorite rice recipe when I cane across it.Just like that, I found the strength to peel my eyes open, and then slowly sit up with my hand placed on my forehead so the cloth placed on my head would not fall off.Aiden stood in front of the bed, shirtless, with a tray in hand as he approached me. I stared at him with my jaw on the floor, but it was not just because of the fact that he was shirtless. Was I seeing c
AIDENIt was my thirtieth birthday today. I saw the smiles on a lot of my staff's faces, and I knew they wished they could shout a happy birthday to me, but I did not give them the space to carry their wishes out.I walked into my office and met Sam there, smiling widely as I walked in. I ignored him at first and went to have a seat on my office chair, while he stood on the other side."Am I exempted from the others?" Sam asked me, the same question he asked every year. With a glare, I answered,"Say your birthday wish and leave, Sam. I have a lot of work to do."He chuckled, but spoke anyways, "Happy birthday, boss. Despite your grumpy self, you are actually the best boss anyone could ask for—""Alright, that's enough, before you start acting like a wuss." I interrupted, causing Sam to laugh again. I allowed a smile grace my face, too. Only Sam knew the true reason why I never celebrated my birthdays. I hated to even think about it, but on my birthdays it was inevitable. My brother
AIDEN"Where is he?" I asked her once we were inside. She shut the door behind me and allowed me turn to face her before she gently shook her head."All the messages from Sam was a setup to get you here." She confessed, smiling sheepishly. I could tell she was shy from the way she kept dragging the hem of her dress down when she thought I would not notice.I was so close to pulling her to myself and having my way with her, but I allowed my self control to take over for this moment. My expression was still rigid, and I made sure to focus on her face alone, even if that too, was equally as distracting as her body.She had no serious makeup on, but I could see that she had tried to touch up her face a little. Just some gloss, and those wing-y eye stuff, but she still looked like a goddess with such minimal effort."And the pictures? Were they photoshopped?" I asked her, knowing that those pictures I viewed were as real as anything. She bit her bottom lip in silence at first, before proce
PERSY Aiden absolutely lied about the thirty minutes thing. He did not take his hands off me, throughout the time we ate on the dining. I should have known something was up when he asked to sit beside me. He kept sneaking his hand under my gown and rubbing his fingers over my wet yoni, but he would not let me orgasm, no matter how many tines I came close. Even when I kept glaring at him, even when I offered him a kiss. He kept saying I would 'release all over his dick'. The statement alone almost made me rethink my whole decision of letting this man have his way with me after denying him so many times, but I needed to see where this would end. I had almost changed my mind before he got here, but when he eventually showed up, wearing those casual clothes and looking mad as hell, it had actually turned me on. All of a sudden, I made up my mind—I wanted him inside me, probably hitting my womb if he could. What? A girl should be allowed to be a freak sometimes. "Aiden…" I moaned, when
AIDEN"Please, Aiden, please stop…" It was her mantra, but she would not stop taking my dick, pushing her hips forward to meet my thrusts every time she wanted more.I finally let her sleep, but only after I had given her enough orgasms to last her a while before she let me fuck her pussy again.We ran through three whole rounds, and I came twice, even without any pain involved in our sex sessions. She fell asleep immediately after I slipped out of her and so fucking unlike me, I stayed beside her on the bed and stared at the woman like I was just meeting her for the very first time.It took a lot for me to finally snap out of it, and when I did, I groaned on seeing the mess on the bed. Since I had obviously refused—not forgotten—to use a condom, I had to dispose my cum on the bedsheets, and now they were messed up. It was the first time I had fucked a woman without a condom.I did not regret my decision, though, and I ended up just going to clean myself up in the washroom and then re
PERSYI had never been so broken in my life. I sat on my bed in my apartment, numb from crying all evening, yet asking myself why exactly I was crying.Aiden had been right. It was just sex. Why did I have to feel so entitled? It was not like he had promised me anything after that night. In fact, my first red flag should have been the one where he'd left immediately after the sex. He cleaned me up and all, but for some reason, I had expected him to be beside me when I woke up, at least just so we could talk about how good or apparently bad the sex between us was.This was my biggest fear, becoming reality now. I had avoided giving myself to Aiden because I felt that just like Trevor, he would decide that I was so boring in bed, and that he wanted nothing to do with me. I expected it to happen, but I had not expected it to happen so fast. It was so embarrassing to think about it, most especially about the way he had kicked me out of his car.I did not regret the sex, though. No matter
PERSY Aiden just sent me a letter. We have to be at some dinner party in two days from today. He did not hand me the letter himself, though. He sent a security official to hand it to me. Was I supposed to be over this by now? Yes. Was I over it, though? That would be a capital no. I even succumbed to acting really stupid this past week. I had to involve Trevor in my stupidity at a point; we went out together, we hugged each other in Aiden's presence, and so many other things that was supposed to call his attention to me. Aiden never gave us a second glance. He never tried to make me jealous with anyone either, just went about his work as casually as he always did while I kept making a fool of myself. After sometime, I stopped going to Trevor, on seeing that I was I was just acting so desperate. I decided to focus on my job, but every time I got something from him, the thoughts about him seemed to resurface. I wished I knew what had gone wrong, just so at least I could try to make t
AIDEN"Oh hey, Aiden! Long time, man. Where's the miss?" Charlie, one of our youngest partners shouted at me over the deafening music, shaking my outstretched hand as firmly as I held his.I have no fucking clue, was what I wanted to respond to everyone, but then, well."She will be here soon, it's probably traffic." I assured him and he just watched me for sometime, then asked, "You let her come alone this time? You two always come to every event together."It was a very stupid question to ask, made me wonder when people would learn to mind their own businesses like grown ass folks."She had something to sort out, had to make it here first, gotta represent my dad." I still answered in a cool voice, because there were a lot of people swarming around us, and a handful of them were bored out of their minds, seeking for one form of entertainment or the other. I was not about to fulfill their deepest, darkest desires for no reason.He just hmm-ed, then gave me one last suspicious look bef

SEVEN MONTHS LATERPERSYI had just finished laying my child to sleep and right now, I was already tired of waiting for my husband, Aiden. I covered the duvet over my body, realizing that this was about to be yet another lonely night. It was almost eight weeks since I gave birth to my daughter, Carolyn, and we had stayed off sex just like the doctor advised. It was two months already since I had sex and I could not take it any longer now.I would tell him about it tomorrow… I promised myself, starting to doze off until the door slammed open and I heard,"Guess who just got an admission to study mechanical engineering in Roberta College for fall? Oh…"I sprung up from the bed though, before he could conclude that I was asleep. I was riddled with joy as I left the bed and ran to him, only stopping in front of him to ask,"Please tell me that this is not one of your expensive jokes…" I snatched the file he had in his hand away and started to check it out. He was grinning as he said, "Y
AIDENHer hormones were acting up. Since that day her ex boyfriend—whom I still wanted to gut his throat, by the way—brought her back to me, she was hornier than ever.She claimed it was the pregnancy hormones and would not stop touching me in public because of it. Whenever I refused to touch her before going to work, she would use a vibrator and went the video to me all of sudden, while I was WORKING.Not that I was complaining, I loved this side of her as much as I loved other sides of her. Persy has always been stubborn, it was nothing surprising at this point.The thing was that, I had met our doctor a day after she came back to check her vitals and he confirmed that she and the baby were doing well, but he warned us still, to lay low for sometime to avoid any casualties. He was seeing sone little issues, but if we could just hold on with sex for sometime, it would not be so difficult to handle.It was punishment, but anything for her safety. Persy had heard the doctor as well, bu
PERSYWe slept on the couch, but I woke up on my bed. I had a full smile on my face as my eyes met with the morning sun. I was never a morning person, but I could understand why I was smiling so hard today. Finally. Finally, I was going to meet Aiden again, it almost felt surreal, it felt like years since I last saw him… all I wanted was to sneak into his arms and stay there for as long as I could, away from everything…I sat up on the bed with much effort and stretched, yawned… all of that.Without asking or bothering to check, I knew that it was Trevor who had laid me on my bed. He would always do that when I fell asleep on a place I was not supposed to and so without question, I knew that this was him, too.Knowing that Trevor had a busy schedule most of the time, I hurried off the bed and ran towards the shower to get myself ready for the visit to Aiden.It was the quickest shower I had ever taken, and the quickest that I had sourced for clothes as well.I wore the first choice,
PERSYWe talked at length. I had never seen Mr Bates so emotional. He seemed so sorry for all he had gone to his children, for how he was attempting to ruin their lives.I did nothing other than stare at him as he relayed his apologies to me, convincing me over and over to come back with him. I looked outside the window, mesmerized by the fire now. It was almost evening, and the sky was so beautiful. Everything about this place was so serene, I had dreamt of giving birth to my child here so many times, I did not think I was ready to give up that dream yet."I am sorry, Mr Bates, I have to give birth to my child here first. Aiden is doing very well for himself, I see it in so many pictures and videos of him. He can continue to do well without me on his side, I mean, I never went to college! What could I possibly add to the growth of your company?" I questioned the man but he shook his head with a tight smile on his face."You do not seem to understand me, do you? I have said that I do
AIDENI had just finished reading a letter from my supposed dead brother and just like that, my mood was ruined. I glared at the letter so hard, it should have disappeared into thin air already. He had given me a serious warning in there, telling me to stop looking for me or he would look for Persy and make me regret it. To show me he was not making empty threats, the man attached a picture to his message.It was a picture of Persephone staring outside a window, smiling hard at the view outside. Fuck, I missed her so much… always so damn happy about the littlest things, it made me want to give her the world.Only the upper part of her showed in the picture and at the back of the paper was written; Oops, already found her. You should get off my back, boy, unless you do not really care about her like that?…I slammed the paper back on my desk, my face masked with a blinding rage. My eyes were no doubt, filled with anger at the moment, I knew that whomever crossed me in the next hour wa
PERSY I stared at my baby bump in the mirror, as little droplets of water dripped down my body. Yeah, that was not water but dirty, yucky sweat from trying to exercise all morning. Later on, I would resume marketing my products which were jewelries and makeup products that I advertised online.The accessories did not need my face or body, which was why I chose this line of business and so far, it was doing pretty well. I made enough sales to get myself what I needed and not having to touch the money I had set aside for college.I would be lying low in the meantime, until I was sure that the backlash I would be getting from social media would not be enough to pull my brand down.Sometimes, social media could just be so vicious. It was a great tool for business advertisement but once the people on Social media crossed you off, it would be pretty hard to get on their good side again.For now, they were torn between liking me or hating me. Most people said I was a cheapskate and gold di
AIDEN"Sir! Sir!" I turned at once, wondering if it was indeed me that the entire board directors waited for to speak. When they all kept staring at me in silence, I got the message and cleared my throat as I began,"Uh… what are we speaking on again? Can someone remind us, please?"They stared wordlessly at me for a couple of minutes until Greg cleared his throat and offered, "You said you had a proposition for us and would speak on it as soon as we were done giving our opinions on the new partners."Oh, that.I offered them a weak smile and sat up, beginning to engage them on what they wanted.When the very awkward meeting was over, I went back to my office at once, planning to just take my car keys and other essentials so I could leave this place.It had been more than two months now since Persy left me, and I had been a shadow of myself since then. It did not help that on the day she left, there were pictures flying all over the internet of her caught hugging Trevor so tightly.I
PERSY"He hardly even hesitated or anything! It was like he had been expecting this news for a long time! You need to see how he passed the papers to me so I would sign, I almost cried right there but I just had to hold myself until I came back. It just seemed like I was signing divorce papers… but isn't this also similar? This just means that I will not have anything to do with Aiden anymore, until God knows when." I relayed to Trevor who sat on the edge of my bed while I sat, lying against the headboard.He was listening attentively; a skill which I never guessed that he had in him. I continued, "You know, I thought I knew true love before… um, when I met you. But it just turns out that we had been playing with each other. We had both been using each other for what we had to offer, and nothing more. With Aiden, it is so much different. I can feel his love from a distance, I try to hate him and stay away from him but I am only killing myself the more I do. I do not know if my love f
