I waited patiently for Gabe to come home, although he didn't say much, he reacted much better than I expected. Taking deep breath, I opened the fridge, collected a bottle of water and slammed it back.
Unable to sit in a place, I began to pace from one corner of the house to another. Finally I heard the gate open before a car drove in. Since my pacing landed me in the living room, I dropped the bottle water on the table then cleaned my wet hand on my skirt.
The front door opened but instead of Gabe, Gabriella ran in with a crying Victoria looking like a deranged woman. All the senses in my body became alert. "Gabriella... What's going on? where is Gabriel?"
"He... Gabriel... The car... Smoke... I don't" she wiped her face but the tears kept coming. I couldn't understand what she's saying and the crying Vicky isn't even helping matter.
"Gabby...I need you to calm down and explain everything to me. What happened? Where is G

Gabriel Caro took us to a strange house in the middle of the forest, where she performed some rituals on Perseforni in order to break a curse that I don’t even believe in. This topic of witches and wizard, I'm still finding it rather surprising. Who will actually believe that we co-exist with supernatural beings?I watched them do their thing, mostly because I have absolutely no idea of what to do or what to contribute. Perseforni smiled at me and I returned it, wanting her to be at ease.An hour later, we finally left the house. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t comfortable in that house. She fastened her seatbelt and waited for me to get into the car before beginning a conversation. “Have you called Gabby? She was very worried when I left the house.”“I lost my phone and car key during the kidnap. Guess the call will have to wait until I get home.” I gave the driver my home address. Honestly I'm tired, and I can’t wait to get home. A hot shower and deep slumber is what my body re

PERSEFONITwo weeks later, Gabe finally recommended me to his business associate who he very well knows is gay. That was the only reason why he even allowed me work. Although his jealous side is a bit annoying, but I also find it cute.Gabby who has been skimming through my wardrobe, searching for her own definition of best work outfit raised a slim fitted black gown and a nude 12”inches heel. “I found the perfect outfit Persefoni!I smiled at her through the window as I took in the gown. “The gown is pretty.” And the heels are perfect match, it complements the black gown. If there is something that I'm certain about myself, then it’s my fashion sense; I slay in the fashion world.“Mr. Puna is quite a lovely old man.” Gabby pointed out as she helped me straighten out my hair. “I love your hair,” she cooed “Can you perform some magic to make mine look like it?”I can,

Gabriel I woke up to an empty bed and for a moment, I thought I overslept. Glancing briefly at the alarm clock, I wondered why Persefoni is up so early. It’s one in the freaking morning, what could she be possibly doing awake?Rubbing fuzziness out of my eyes, I went in search of Persefoni. I didn’t find her in the living room; neither did I find her in the dining room. The dull light in the kitchen got my attention; could she be having late night snacks? I walked into the kitchen, turned on the light but found someone else sitting on the stool. “What are you doing here this late Jennifer?”She jumped down from the stool and I chose to ignore the fact that her tits are practically spilling out or that her night gown is extremely short. She dropped the glass of milk on the table. “I'm sorry sir; I didn’t mean to startle you. I couldn’t sleep, so I came down for a glass of milk.”“Have you seen Persefoni?” She’s the reason why I'm down here.“I think she’s in the library. I heard her co

Persefoni Today is really a hetic day, it has been from one meeting to another, fetching coffee repeatedly and trying to keep up with everything that is being said. Finally, we got ready for the last meeting for the day; I do not know what the meeting is about, Mr. Puna didn't inform me, and I didn't ask. Walking into the board room, I arranged table water on the conference table for each of the board members. Few minutes later, the room filled up with mostly unfamiliar faces, Mr Puna and his son Liam were the last to enter the conference room. I settled down next to Mr. Puna and brought out my book for notes in case of briefing after the meeting. Mr Liam looked up from his tablet and cleared his throat, getting the attention of his father and every other person in the room. "Is it necessary for her to be here?" it took me a minute to realize that I'm the one he's referring to. Tightening my lips, I forced myself not to scowl at him."She's my secretary Liam, and she's soon going

Gabriel Right across the table, I observed the young man seated at the far end corner of the table. I do not know why he's in possession of Persefoni's phone or his reference about the shirt, but one thing I know is that I'm either getting answers from him or from Persefoni and I definitely need to pay Puna a visit, he needs to explain why he failed to mention the change of power. "Do not murder him, he's Ken's friend, so I had to invite him." taking my eyes away from the bastard who is openly gawking at Persefoni, it landed on Gabby. "I'm guessing you've heard the news about his take over.""And you know this how?""Ken." she deadpanned as she refilled our wine glasses. "I just told you that they're friends." Rolling her eyes, she scanned the room. "Stop looking at me like that Gaberial, I only just heard about it."He obviously is into Persefoni, and I do not know how I feel about them working in the same space. "Persefoni loves you Gaberial, stop over thinking things." she nudge

PersefoniEvery male around me are insane at this point, that's the only reason why they'll be acting irrational... Like fucking crack teenagers who can't think straight. Logan wants to bring the coven out in the open. Nope... It's not what you're thinking... A week ago at Ken's birthday party, Logan paid me a visit... According to him, he wants to give the witches at the coven a better life, that he wants to give them the opportunity to mix with other humans and also allow them enjoy certain privileges that they enjoy too. I told him to explain further, but he told me that he's in a hurry and he promised to return soon. Now the disturbing part; Logan isn't the reason why I've been bleeding... I assumed he was letting me know about his presence here, but then he told me he knows nothing about it. Let's talk about Gabe, he has been visiting Puna's office very often, I've questioned him on the reason for his frequent visits but he has been evasive about the whole thing. Somehow, I fe

PersefoniI'm bleeding yet again. This time, I think I'm bleeding because of the stress. Gabby thinks I can heal her father of cancer. In all honesty, I wish I can, but I can't, the least I could do is to give him more time, slow the cancer growth and give him time to make peace with his family but Gabby has refused to believe me. She thinks I'm being stingy with my power. She thinks I do not want to heal him because of what he did to Gabriel, due to the fact, I'm her least favorite person. She doesn't take my calls and hardly says two words to me whenever she brings Vicky over to the house. Even Gabriel has noticed the tension between us and has questioned me few times on what was going on between Gabby and I, but I assured him that everything is absolutely fine. Don't get me started on Logan, he disappeared from the face of the earth after our last meeting. I wasn't expecting much from him, but the least he could do was to call me after dropping such silly news to me. Imagine al

PersefoniGabriel is getting worse. He's hardly at home, and the few hours that he decides to be at home, he's always on his phone. I've grown to ignore him, mostly because my new boss is killing me with extra work load. You heard me right. Gabriel finally bought Mr. Puna's company and Liam returned to his father company. According to him, his grandfather's company was on the verge of sinking anyways. He believes that there was nothing he would have done that will save it, but I think that's his own way of brushing up his ego. If that company was redemption, Gabriel wouldn't buy it for anything. I stared at the wall clock and considered calling Gabe. He's usually late, but never this late. The distant voice of Gabby took my mind off calling him for few minutes. Her footstep drew closer and closer until she appeared by the doorway. "I came to pick some clothes for Gabriel, he won't be coming home tonight."Panic freezed my blood. "Is everything okay?

Persefoni Five months laterEverything seem to be going perfectly fine. The baby is growing healthily, Sophia is more welcoming towards me and Logan finally moved the witches to New York… and of course, the daughter’s of Morgana refused to leave with him.Oh! The most important news! How could I have forgotten that?I’m getting married next month.You damn heard me right! Gabe asked me to be his wife last month, and I said yes. Come next month, I’m going to be officially Mrs. Washington.Okay! So today is my last fitting and I’m so excited.My phone and I took my eyes away from the road to search for my phone. When I saw Gabby’s name, I knew why she’s ringing me. “Gabby? I swear, I’m almost there. You’ll see me in five.”“You better hurry Persefoni,” she warned “your wedding planner is gradually getting upset, and I can’t stall her any longer.”“Tell her to give me five minutes, I swear it, I’ll be there.” I increased my speed. “Offer to buy her coffee…or maybe” The call was interrup

GabrielThere is a moment in everyone’s life we have to die. Death is something inevitable in the life of anything that eats, breath and reproduces. The most important thing that matters is the legacy we leave, the love we showered on people during our lifetime. These are what matters, necessary things that we have to do before we meet our end, so we’ll be missed, missed and remembered by many. I watched the priest with aloofness. This day reminds me of the day I buried Susan, and it’s not a memory that I want to remember right now. Sophia cried ugly tears beside me, while Gabby and Claire tried their best to console her. You heard me, Claire; somehow mom managed to invite her for the funeral despite my warnings. I felt someone’s hand grab mine. I stared at the ring unclad finger. She squeezed lightly, offering me comfort that I’ve decided not to agree that I need. Yes, he’s my father, but I haven’t been in a good relationship for many years, I only tried to fix things recently and

PersefoniFor a moment, I thought Canine was going to ignore what she saw earlier. I told her indirectly that I do not want to discuss the baby in the presence of these people, but she just had to ruin everything for me; now Gabe is never going to let me go.“Persefoni?” Gabe growled. “Say something.”Blinking rapidly, I tried not to glare at Canine. It will not only be rude to glare at a descendant of Morgana , it will be outright disastrous. “Can we do this later? In the absence of extra pairs of eyes.”He didn’t like it, not one bit but he let it go, for now. Grateful for his understanding, I focused on Canine. “What do you mean this prophecy isn’t about me but my child?” They exchanged glances, communicating silently. “Say something!” I snapped and Logan quickly grabbed my hand reminding me of my place.Sucking in deep breath, I willed myself to calm down. “I’m sorry for snapping at you, just that the tension and silence is killing me.”Gabe stared at Logan’s hand which is still h

Gabriel I do not know how to prepare while visiting witches coven, but I did pack a suitcase. Persefoni watched me as I grabbed my power bank along with my phone.“What are you doing with that?” Persefoni asked, her lips stretched with a smile. “You honestly think you’re going to need that?”I stared at the two objects in my hand, confused at which object is the topic of discussion. “I’m a business man Persefoni, I need my phone with me at all time.” I looked at her hand. “Where is your suitcase?”“Outside.” She returned around and walked towards the entrance door. “I was talking about the power bank, you won’t need it over there.”Dominic opened the car trunk and placed our bag in. “Why won’t I need it? I didn’t know witches have steady.” I teased. Her deep laughter vibrated throughout the car which made me smile. I miss this moment, moments that I make her smile.“When I said you don’t need the power bank, I didn’t say that because there will steady light supply, I said that becaus

Persefoni This is insane. I know I shouldn’t carry on with this, but I can’t bear to disappoint Gabby. I would have carried on with this if Caro didn’t give me the best news of my life.I’m pregnant. I’m carrying an evidence of the love Gabe and I shared.Placing my hand on my stomach, I thought of how best to break the news to Gabby. She will surely to disappointed. I will too, if someone gave me such good hope, not to shatter it, I will be disappointed too.According to Caro, there is no way I’ll do this without harming myself and the baby, she went further to explain that maybe the prophecy wasn’t for me, but for my baby. Nevertheless, there is only one way to find out. I’ll have to pay the daughters of Morgana a visit, either today or tomorrow.Gabriel will be ecstatic about this baby, but I don’t know if I want to share this moment with him. I don’t even know if I can trust him again, especially when that bitch is still roaming round bf street of New York. Gabriel hurt me…he lit

GabrielEverything sounds so crazy and surreal to me. Persefoni knows how much I love her, how much I need her, yet she's ready to sacrifice her life for a man who is paying for his sins. Rubbing my neck stiffly, I tried to get rid of the sudden ache but to no avail. Logan noticing just how hard this news is for me, he refilled my glass. "You are the only one who can talk her out of this Washington. She obviously doesn't listen to me anymore." I chuckled at his statement. "It's true." he argued. "I've been telling her to visit the daughters of Morgana since thy kingdom come, but she's yet to pay them a visit."Daughters of Morgana are bad news, Persefoni educated me on that. The only reason why she has to visit the daughters of Morgana is when she takes something she isn't suppose to consume. "Why did you insist on her paying them a visit?" a thought occurred to me. "Did she drink coffee?" Surely she cannot be that sucidial. He rolled his eyes at my question. "Persefoni hates coffe

GabrielPersefoni has been troubled lately, and the fact the she has refused to tell me what's going on is really frustrating me. I watched her as she interacted with Gabby next to my father which only heightened my suspicion. Once upon a time, they weren't on talking terms, but it seems as if ever since I told Gabby about Persefoni's decision to heal our father, their friendship blossomed again. In conclusion, I don't think the idea of healing father is solely her decision, it seems someone else has been whispering to her. The door opened and my mum walked in with Claire, carrying a basket of fruit. I do not understand the reason why she's still hanging around. Yes, she apologized and I told her I'm over whatever happened in the past. Shouldn't she return to wherever she crawled out from? I glared at mum. What does she take me for? A fool? I totally understand the game she is playing, but if she pushes it too far, I'll be forced to take a decision that she won't like at all. "Ho
