PERSYHe ended up not giving me a kiss, coming up with the same excuse for why he could not do it. I even tried silence treatment, but it still did not work. I decided to let it be, and when he dropped me off at work this Tuesday, I willingly gave him my cheek to peck.He had a smile on his face as he pecked me, then whispered against my ear, "Good girl."I rushed out of the car before I could do anything stupid, and I could hear him laugh his lungs out before starting his car engine and driving out of the vicinity.As I walked to my office, head bowed as I pretended that I gave a shit about whatever was on the screen of my phone. A work colleague saw me walking to my office, and I tried to dodge his gaze by peering into my phone screen right away, but he had already caught me before I could attempt. He flashed me a toothy smile, and I flashed him a tightlipped one, before facing away from him as I hurried into my office.I slammed my things on the table when I got inside my office a
AIDENTime flies when you are having the best time. I heard that so many times, but I was only going through it now.Thought that celibacy with Persy was finally going to squash this obsession I had with her, but I was woefully wrong. Celibacy with Persy gave us more time to explore each other better, and not just our bodies.We texted each other regularly now, I even began to watch movies with her, and normally, I could never be caught wasting my time on something as mediocre as a movie. Now, I wanted to do everything she was doing. Well, most.I had no idea how this whole madness started, but all I knew was that I was not ready to see it end just yet.Two weeks of celibacy later, I sat behind my desk, rewatching a video Persy had sent to me. She had gone on business trip in another country, and though I was so against it, Persy would always be Persy. She paid no attention to me and made the trip anyways.Now, she would send me different videos and pictures documenting her stay, some
PERSYI did not do it.In fact, the last thing I recalled was sitting on my bed, sorting out a few files. My phone lay somewhere on my bed, and I had set it on silent, not wanting to be distracted while I worked.How did I end up half naked with Trevor in bed, then? How did… Did Trevor set me up? Then why had he remained here until Aiden came? Knowing the kind of person Aiden was, did he have a death wish?I could not count the amount of times had wiped my lips, irritated by the fact that I had kissed Trevor again. I had been in his arms earlier, half naked, only covered in a strapless bra and boy shorts which I had to idea who had put them on me.So many things were going through my head all at once. I had cried in one day, more than I ever had in a full month. I kept calling Aiden's phone, hoping he would at least pick up for once and give me a countdown to explain myself, but he never did.For the rest of the day, I paced about my room and called, over and over, but I got nothing.
AIDENShe left me alone with the random girl I picked at the club, and immediately, I pushed the girl off me and started towards the door. I then signaled for the guy behind the loveseat to come out. Yes, she had not really been sucking my dick. I had no idea why, but I just could not bring myself to do that to Persephone. Stupid, yes. I fucking knew that already.I hid someone else behind the loveseat in her room and made the whole thing look like she was truly sucking me off. She fell for it, just as I expected. The dumb motherfucker whom I pushed away, felt I was in for games, so she gripped my arm and tried to sweeten her voice as she asked me, "Come on, Mr Bates, I can give you a wholesome night. I always knew you are not content with your girlfriend. She looks boring, I can make sex really, really fun for you, you know."She even winked at me, biting her lips like she was possessed. Firstly, I unwrapped her hand from my arm and she tried to touch me again, but the look in my ey
AIDENI had blood all over me by the time I returned from the warehouse where Clara's boyfriend was kept. Clara was in my basement, I was going to meet her, immediately after I freshened up. Who I could not delay meeting, though, was Persy. I had a bunch of flowers in my hold as I rushed to her room, hoping to meet her awake. It was so late at night now.My guards had stared at me like I had two heads when I asked one of them to take me to the nearest florist's shop immediately we were done breaking every single bone in Clara's weakling's body. They directed me to the place though, and the lady who sold there was even more flabbergasted to see me. I let her take her selfies with me, then paid her generously for the beautiful flowers. I had no idea if what I gave her was generous enough. I had just stuffed a was of hundred dollar bills in her hand without counting. Tonight would be the night that I finally lost my senses because of a woman. I could not even fully concentrate on anyth
PERSYI was running a fever. I could feel my body burning up and there was nothing I could do about it.I already knew why I had gotten sick. I had been crying nonstop for days now, I figured that the act would take its toll on me soon enough. I covered myself with the duvet completely. Even my head was well-sheathed in the thick material.I was struggling to breathe, but still shaking with cold.I knew someone who would make it better if he were here. Aiden. I wanted him here, but I could not call him. It was a case of the spirit being willing, and the body being so damn weak to move a muscle.Yesterday night... Well, I would always remember it. I told him I loved Roses, and he remembered it. He got me a bunch of them to apologize and even knelt down to say his apologies. I had almost forgotten about the blood on his shirt due to his apologies, but I recalled it now.Did he kill someone? Was Aiden truly a murderer? And would he kill for my sake?For what felt like hours, I twisted an
PERSYAiden insisted that I must take a week off from work. I countered it, and we ended up agreeing on three days off work. Tough decision, though. I had already gotten used to working everyday, so three days off work was going to affect me in a way.I decided to obey Aiden and the doctor by staying at home, though. I walked around, rested, ate adequately and also munched on fruits.My face heated as I sat on the bed with a banana in hand, thinking back to Aiden's commentary when he got me these. He had said, "Eat enough of these, and think of my dick while you do. I have been starved enough, Persy. I'll have no mercy, the moment I have my hands on you."We had kissed after that, and this time it was not rushed or anything. It was slow, promising, and of course, as passionate as Aiden was."Have a good day, girlfriend." He had told me on his way out. "You too, boyfriend." I chirped back at him, to which he just smirked and left the room.Now, reminiscing about all those things, I w
AIDENI laughed. Because this was a joke, right?"Are you into jokes now? Why would you take it this far, though?" I asked, walking towards her now. She held a hand out like that would stop me from moving to her. I threw the hand to one side and pulled her by her waist to myself, joining our foreheads as I implored, "Tell me what's wrong, baby."She placed her hand on my chest to push me away, but I did not move. This was not a joke. Something was going on, and knowing Persy, I would have to force it out of her."I just... I need to go. Kassie would be returning next week. She asked me to go, as she would be announcing that she is traveling out of the country for a while. Aiden, I do not want to be a problem. Thank you so much for taking good care of me for the time was here. I would not be forgetting you in a hurry, I—""Keep the farewell speech to your fucking self, Persephone. I do not want to hear it, because you are not leaving me, is that clear?" I held her chin, stronger than I
Thank you for following up Aiden and Persy's story to the very end, you all are MVPs! Special thanks to everyone who voted, left comments, likes… I do not take your encouragement for granted and I would continue to dish out more scintillating books for you to enjoy…Now… I know you’re wondering what’s next already, which is what I plan to announce now! My next book would be coming up in July and is still the Billionaire genre, but this time, a tale of a billionaire music artist—Donovan, and a single mom—Clarissa… Excited yet?See you in July! ❤️
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
