PERSY

At 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

    PERSY"I'm not sucking your dick." I started as firmly as I could and turned to try to open the car door, but it would not budge. Believe me when I said I was at the verge of tears, but somehow, just somehow, I was still itching to have his dick in my mouth.I turned back to face him when the door would not budge, with a frustrated look on my face. He only raised a challenging brow at me.I settled on resting against my seat and crossing my arms around my chest. He would not be forcing me into sucking his dick, I told myself with all the courage I could possibly possess in that moment.He sighed, "Been starving without you, doll. I need to be inside of you so badly, you have no idea how much I need you right now.""I do not care." I shouted at him, but I did. I needed him so badly I could cry from how much I wanted him."A kiss, then. I will not force you to do what you do not want to, but give me a kiss, or I will take it." He settled, and I wanted to tell him that he was also techni

    AIDENShe started going to work without me. I do not even get as little as a kiss anymore. Slams the door in my fave when I try to talk to her. To an extent, I actually deserve that.I decided to let her be for a few days, give her some space, that is. I unfroze her account immediately she got back and I had been monitoring the account ever since. Persy, for a while now had been moving the money in her account to another account. I did not quite pay attention to it, in fact, I simply interpreted it go be that she wanted financial freedom, like, a situation whereby I would not be involved in whatever she wanted to do with her money.I had sent two hundred thousand dollars into her account, even if she never failed to remind me in little words and actions that our contract had expired. Call me bloody delusional or whatever, but I believed that Persephone would come around. She would eventually realize that there was no one else in this world for the both of us. I was too busy with th

  • Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress   96| IT'S WAR NOW

    PERSYI left Aiden's office, saying a prayer in my mind that I did not meet Kassie anywhere near my office. A lot if people had already began to look at me funny, the moment I left Aiden's office.This time, the people in this company were actually the worst. They did not only watch and make comments amongst themselves, they went as far as asking questions about any rumor like it was some kind of right they had.They would bring me coffee in my office, then take a seat against my will and try to lock me in a conversation where if I was not smart enough, I would be spilling my entire life's history.I hated the fact that they found it so hard to face their business, I hated it so much that today, I turned to where they were lined up and stuck a tongue at them.I was already running away to continue my walk of shame to my office when one of them stuck out a tongue at me in return. I gasped, and stopped in my tracks, ready to start up a catfight if need be, because I was not too fed up w

  • Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress   97| WAS IT HER?

    AIDENI dragged my tie off my neck in a strangling manner. My heart rate had sped up out of nowhere; it felt like I would explode from anger anytime soon. Staring hard at my figure through the mirror, I kept wondering if Persephone truly wanted to leave me. Was this how quick her love faded? If she truly was like this, then she should have left me before I caught feelings and fell deep.Sometimes, I thought of letting her go and attempting a life without her, but anytime the thought entered my mind, my stomach churned in disagreement and I would immediately discard the thought.At this point, I was so sure that this woman's aim was just to send me to an early grave with the way my mind was always occupied with thoughts of her.After taking off my shirt and pants, I went to sit on my master bed, with my head cupped in my both hands. My mind sneaked back to the time at the office—more specifically, her resignation letter.She wanted to leave, it was why she had transferred almost every

    PERSY I hated to admit it, but I cried myself to sleep. It was almost like we were back to square one all over again. I did not care who told him about what happened, but did he really believe that I would do that to him? Did he really think I would do that to him? To his business, to be more specific?I fucking hated it here, but I had to deal with it because, well, I had brought it upon myself."Are you ready now?" I would have jumped if I had not smelt his signature cologne the exact minute he stepped into the room. I sighed, then with one last look in the mirror, I turned around to acknowledge his presence.With a very fake smile, I replied, "Yes, yes I am."I could really give myself a pat on the back right now, for still sounding sane and moderately unbothered with everything that was going on right now. Not even how good he looked could throw me off balance. This man could literally put on the same stuff for one full year and still turn heads everyday. As more days passed

    AIDENI knew she did not do it. I immediately confirmed it, the moment I found out that the clips from yesterday were missing.I should have gone ahead to fire the two tech guys at once, but I had a hunch that this was not in any way ordinary. The clips had gone missing without a clue as to how it happened, because my father was in on it.It was not hard to tell, the man was not sleek at all.I hated that he had to team up with a woman to fight me, or whatever it was that he was doing at the moment.The moment I got into my office, I went to take a seat on the couch at the right end of the room, loosening my tie as I took out my phone from my pocket, dialing my father's number at once."Did you finally see the mess she created? Are you back to your senses now?" He queried the moment he picked up the call, but I was not new to his tactics at all, which was why I responded,"The mess Kassandra created and you helped her hide, you mean?"There was a long period of silence, one which stre

    PERSYFor a good amount of time, I watched him, thinking that he would probably laugh out loud and tell me that this whole 'madness' he was sitting was a big joke. A very expensive one at that.I waited and waited, but he said nothing, just stayed there, watching me like a hawk, his eyes pleading with me to say yes."Aiden, I cannot..." I trailed off when he took my hand in his, rubbing circles on the back of my palm in the gentlest manner. For some reason, I could not take my eyes off his hands, it was probably because of how they felt against mine."My eyes are up here, baby." He reminded me in a cool tone. I tore my eyes off his veiny hands at once, but I did not look at his face... More like, I could not. Instead, I tried to pull my hands away from his, but of course, Aiden would not let me.Sighing, I decided to stop fighting him and answer the question instead. Or specifically, drop my thoughts on the offer which he proposed."I am sorry, Aiden, as captivating as your offer is,

Raw, passionate sex that had me begging for more at the end of each round, until even Aiden told me himself that he would probably have to sedate me, with how needy I was.We finally let each other go after several hours of romping, and three whole hours of mind blowing sex.I felt so much guilt eat at me as I struggled to look somewhere else when he tried to look at me after we were done committing this 'atrocity'.He finally left me alone after minutes of trying to coax me with repetitive lines of how we did nothing wrong, until he finally got tired and began to type at his phone with a slightly annoyed expression on his face. As soon as the day turned dark, though, I went to shower, expecting him to show up at the bathroom stall.

    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.
