Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 43| PERSEPHONE, THE MECHANIC
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

PERSY"There's no one out here yet, you do not have to open the car door for me." I told him with a straight face. He said nothing, just held his car door for me until I gave up on being stubborn and finally entered inside. He entered the passenger seat too, staying beside me. I looked out of the car now, not caring about the flashes in my face by the paparazzi. They never got tired of taking pictures. I used to be scared of them, and now, I was just used to them."What about the driver that brought me here? Can't he take me home too?" I asked, looking back at him.Surprisingly, he answered, "I fired him. You will not be seeing him around anymore."My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. "You what?""What I just said. Why do you seem so disturbed by it? Was he someone special to you?" His tone was that of mockery, but I did not focus on that in that moment."Why would you do that?" I asked in disbelief. He sighed, but kept his eyes on me as he replied, "He did not deliver on his

PERSY"It's him, isn't it?" I asked with a forced smile, trying so hard to rein in my anger, because what was I mad for? Aiden was neither my husband or even boyfriend… he was my boss, technically. He paid me to attend parties with him, work in his dad's company and get extra cash while at it, show up at zoom meetings, etc. Getting jealous about his affairs with other women was not part of my job description in any way.But what if this was a joke? Ashley was too good for this. We had only known each other for a short while, but I was already vouching for her. She would never hurt het so-called friend like this, would she?"This is a joke, right? You're not really pregnant. This is just one of your silly games." I smiled for effect, but she did not smile back. She was shaking now, so I calked out, "Ashley? Talk to me. Is this a joke?" After a short pause, I added, "And if it's not, who is it?"Ashley started to sob. I did nothing to console her, just stood there and watched her bawl

AIDENPersy was drunk. And probably helplessly so. I checked my watch to see the time, and noticed that it was just noon. What was she doing, getting drunk on a hot afternoon?"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked her, taking my hand off my laptop and sitting straighter."Nothing! I'm just… I just wonder whether you already knew? D-Did you know you'll be a dad?" She repeated that nonsense again, and this time, I paused before asking, "Are you carrying my baby?" "You wish." She chortled, dashing my hopes to the ground. It was then that I realized that I actually had no issue with her carrying my baby. For a while there, I had hoped she would say yes.Would it complicate things? Yes. Did I want things to be complicated? No… and well, sometimes, yes."I was working before you called, Kassie. I can hear that you are having fun. Keep up with it, we would talk later." I started to hang up when she muttered,"Has she… she not told you yet?""Who?""Ash. She's carrying your baby." She

AIDEN "What the hell?" Were the first words that escaped my mouth on seeing the state of Persy's room. Her door had not been locked, so I had entered here freely, without knocking or any need to use my master card. What if it were someone else? She was sprawled on the floor, mumbling incoherent words to herself, whilst pillows, bags and even a broken bottle lay on the floor, all around her. There was liquid on the tiles as well, and I knew it was whiskey from the strong smell of it. Fuck, she had probably overdosed on this. I took off my suit and hung it away, loosening my tie as well and unbuttoning the tight shirt. I rolled the sleeves and untucked it, before rushing to her. I got to where she lay and got down on my knees, pulling her to a sitting position. She was still dressed in her corporate shirt and pants for work, but both were now slightly soaked in the alcohol she had laid in. Thankfully, no broken piece of bottle had pierced her; I made sure to check thoroughly to avo

PERSYI woke up to a clean room, painkillers and even breakfast in a tray. I looked at all these on my bedside table whilst holding my head in my hand. It took everything in me to finally reach for the painkillers, and then get to take them before opening up the tray which was covered with a white wrap.Someone had gotten breakfast for me. I did not allow myself to ponder on who it was, instead I began to clear everything on the tray, one after another.I slept off again after eating.That whole day consisted of me sleeping and waking up to ear, then going back again, nothing extraordinary took place. I also showered at a point, changed my bedsheet and cleaned the room a bit more.When I woke up the other morning, finally strong enough to move around, I screamed out loud on seeing someone sitting on a chair across me."Shh! Please, please don't shout." She begged. I swallowed, looking her up and down with my heart lodged in my mouth. How did Ashley get in here?"What are you doing her

PERSY"I'll come with, if that is what you want." I stood my ground, and was ready to step forward when he spoke again,"Kassie. Don't dare me." His voice was almost a plea at this point. I did not care about that, though. There was no way in hell I would stand back and watch him try to take a pregnant woman off to be tortured. "I'm daring you right now, Aiden. I'm sorry, but I will not let you abuse a pregnant woman." I told him firmly. He watched me in silence like he usually did sometimes, and then when I thought that he would take his leave or something, he walked into my room and shut the door behind him, allowing Sam to drop to the ground, his bloodied body making a mess.Ashley screamed again the moment he dropped to the ground and Aiden followed up with his own scream, "Shut up!"She slammed her palm over her mouth to shut herself up but I could hear her fast breathing behind me. I hated Aiden for making her so scared, what if something happened to her baby? "They crossed me

Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 124| EPILOGUE
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
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 123| SAY YES
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
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 122| HOME
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,
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 121| COME HOME
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
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 120| TOO MUCH TO HANDLE
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
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 119| WANT YOU BACK
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
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 118| A FRESH START
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
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 117| PREGNANCY & TAKE OFF
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
