AIDEN

I 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

    AIDENShe was naked in no time. I had my clothes off afterward, as well. "I don't have time for foreplay, Aiden.""Why? Going somewhere?" I asked her, my voice teetering between lust and anger. Why the fuck was she sounding like she still planned to leave me? Did she think I would ever let her do that?"Aiden…""Shut up, and spread those legs for me." I ordered, feeling a need to own her before she ruins the moment with her imaginary plans of leaving me.Persy hesitated first, before spreading her legs in an eagle-like manner like I had requested. Not able to resist the urge, I picked up my belt from one side of the bed. I kept my eyes on her as I did, and she held my gaze, her throat bobbing but she did not try to shut her legs.Such a fucking naughty girl, I thought, wrapping the belt around my hand before slapping her exposed, pink pussy with it.She yelped, shutting her eyes and gripping the bedsheet with all her might. My dick was already rock hard by now, but I decided to still

    PERSYI decided to heed to Aiden's words, after all. I stayed back, even resumed work a few days later. The workers here, luckily for me, were not nosey people, unlike the asswipes in the other branch. As soon as they laid eyes on me, they all poured out their greetings and just continued with their day—as they should. I entered into my office, smiling from how warm their welcome was.I had just finished opening my blinds when my phone rang on my desk. I ignored it during the first few rings, and then when the call was persistent, I groaned and went to pick it up.I placed the device against my ear immediately the call went through, not bothering to check caller ID or anything."Hello?" My voice was filled with the frustration I deeply felt. "Wow. An attitude already?"On hearing his voice, the anger I had previously felt began to dissipate. "You are so annoying. I mean, we just talked this morning so why are you calling me now?" I questioned, acting like I did not enjoy how quick

    AIDEN"You were in on this? She convinced you to lie to your father, son?" Pops asked me, livid with anger. I started walking closer, seeing that his grip on my girlfriend's arm had tightened, and Persy only showed off small signs of discomfort without doing anything to stop him. "Pops, let her go. She is Kassie Aaron, I do not know why you chose to disgrace us here. Can we take this somewhere private?"I said when I reached where they stood. He scoffed, sparing her a short glance, after which he held my gaze once more."Are you under a spell, or you joined a thief to bring down my company?" He further asked out loud, and like clockwork, the murmuring began amongst the workers, to which I countered,"Quiet! Shut the fuck up, all of you!""And why should they?!" Pops shouted back at me, releasing Persy only to grip my collar, shaking like a leaf from how angry he was. "This is an interesting conversation, let them fucking listen if they so wish." I could hear Persy sobbing softly behi

    PERSYIt was with big, fat tears tolling down my cheeks that I blocked Aiden's number. I blocked his number alongside every other person I knew through him. His parents were included, of course.I kept hitting my chest as I stayed under a familiar bridge and cried my eyes out. I covered my face up as usual. I had a really big scarf which actually came in handy now. I covered my face with it, just so the nosy paparazzi would not make a feast out of my misery. Of course, I had changed out of my work clothes.I threw on a really big gown which came down to my feet instead. I fucking hated this. The first thing I would be doing after I had managed to calm down a bit was book a plane and leave the country. Everything about this place would keep reminding me of him, and it was the last thing I wanted. I needed to leave this place before I would go crazy from thinking so much."I hate this. I hate this so much." I muttered to myself as I cried into my arms which rested on my knees. I was si

    PERSYI woke up to a loud knock on my door—was that Aiden? Was I late for work?I sluggishly opened my eyes to make out what was happening, but then I jerked up on seeing mu surroundings. Where was I? I asked myself, placing a hand on my forehead as if that would help me recall anything."Where am I?" I asked myself in a whisper before finally realizing…Fired, purse stolen, hotel room…The memories hit me in an orderly sequence, but before I could dwell on the heart-wrenching memories, the heavy knock on the door resounded again, causing me to sit up straighter on the bed, running a hand through my hair."Who is it?" I asked, trying to form the same weird accent I used last night when I spoke to the receptionist."Room service."I groaned inwardly. What the hell did they want? I mean, I did not need any service now, just needed to sleep. My stomach chose that exact time to grumble in protest, and I stood up instantly, heading to the door.I did not forget to cover up with my scarf an

    AIDEN"I have also met her, told her Kassie would not be working for us any longer but she still would not budge. Are you really sure she loves you as much as you say? I mean, she refused me immediately I opened my mouth." Pops explained, standing in front of my work desk right across me. I said nothing in response, just typed away in my laptop like he was not there. I had since left his companies, and was now working in one of my own—a wine production company, actually, with a few branches in some selected countries.I was focusing on DenBates Wine from now onwards. Oh, and ways to get Persy back as well."Aiden. You do not have to leave my business completely. Do you know the implications of what you are trying to do? All for a measly woman? What does she have to offer?" He asked, and I looked up at him with a warning look in my eyes, still saying nothing though. He should know by now, how much I hated it when anyone tried to badmouth my woman. He really should watch his mouth, be

    PERSYI slowly brought my hand down and let him get the butter up there for me. I tried to move after that but he did not let me, instead, he trapped me in his hold with two arms placed on either sides of the counter."Leave me alone." I spoke, making sure my voice was as unbothered as I wanted it to be. He did not, though.He just hummed against my ear and then said, "Why would I do that? I've missed you so much, do you know that?"I said nothing, just tried to wiggle out of his hold again, but he pressed harder against me so I could feel his manhood so vividly against me now. The feel alone brought back memories, and even almost brought me to my knees right then, but I held myself and repeated in a firmer voice, "Leave me alone, Aiden." After saying that, I elbowed him in the stomach and with a low grunt, he moved back a few paces. I turned around and grabbed my bread alongside the butter, running off at once."Persy. Persy. Persephone!"I did not dare turn back, just ran and did n

    PERSYAt this point, I had no idea what I was doing anymore. I just… followed the random thoughts in my head, I guess. Today, I was wearing a really tight dress which was actually corporate, but showed off all my curves. It stopped a little below my knee, though. For my face, I slapped on a little make up, planning to look as unbothered as I possibly could. I even did my hair, all that.I did not know what exactly I was planning to achieve, all I knew was that I wanted... I wanted Aiden's attention. I wanted to avoid him, but still, I wanted him to notice me. No, I needed him to notice me.Last night, I got another text, almost as soon as I got the first. Kassie would also be working in Aiden's company. It was some kind of ploy by Aiden's father to let the public know, or rather, think that there was no bad blood between Kassie and me.Personally, I already knew that this was such a bad idea, but who was to I oppose? Instead, I would just settle on avoiding trouble with Kassie as muc

    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
