Persefoni Staring up at the gigantic building before me, I prayed to the ancestors that today should be nice. This is my first time working in an establishment. I may have worked before in other places such as in the library, coffee shop, even as a maid but this one is the biggest so far. The young lady who interviewed me last week was indeed a very lovely lady with a lot of patience since I mistakenly knocked over her cup of coffee, which wetted some of her files. How I got accepted was beyond me although I planned on intervening had she given someone else the job.Taking in a deep breath, I walked into the building, giving a big smile to anybody who cares to look my way. I walked up to the secretary, introducing myself all over again since I did the same at the door to the security man standing outside. "Use the elevator to the 24th floor, ask for Miss Stevenson, she'll direct you on what to do" I gave her a small smile before walking towards the elevator. I walked in and presse

Gabriel Persefoni? Who the hell doesn't have last name? I guess I'll have to look into her myself. As I walked into her office which is connected to mine, I stared at her for few seconds before entering my office with the instruction that she should come in with me. She walked in and sat down on the empty seat adjacent to mine. I kept staring at her; there is something about her that doesn't settle well with me. "I believe Mrs. Claus already briefed you on your duties here right?" "Yes sir, she did" I know what I'm about to say might be considered personal, but fuck personal, nothing about my staff is personal for me as long as the work for me. "How come you don't have a last name?" She frowned at my question "Guess I was never given one" What the hell means she was never given one? Even people in foster homes have last names. I didn't want to prey so that it wouldn't look as if I have any interest in her or her family. So I opted for another question. "Did she tell you how I lik

GabrielI got to work earlier than usual probably because the pills didn't do its work. I walked into my office and buried myself in some of the work that I couldn't finish yesterday. My phone rang and I already know who the caller is without even checking so I ignored it. A text came in few minutes after the ringing as expected so I opened it I miss you son... Just wanted to know how you are doing. Rachel was at the house yesterday, she extended her greetings... Call me if you can. I love you I deleted the text as usual without replying. If she misses me as she implies she knows exactly what to do.The door to my office opened and Persefoni walked in looking smart in her red dress and black heels. She smiled at me just as she dropped my cup of coffee on the table."Good morning sir"I stared at her in confusion "how did you know I was in the office already?"

Persefoni Uin tec undestrec bloodemitaI kept repeating those words often and often, I can feel my ears and nose bleeding and I can feel the ancestors passing their message, a message that I do not know it's meaning thanks to my mistress and her attempt to suppress my magic."The doctor said your test came back clear, in order words, there is nothing wrong with you"Looking at an uncomfortable Mr. Washington, I felt bad for him. Bringing me to the hospital and staying with me the whole night when there is absolutely nothing wrong with me is kind of funny but touching. "I was bleeding through my nose and ears, how can they say there is nothing wrong with me?""I think you should direct your questions to them once they come to check you again""Am so sorry for keeping you away from your duties at the office"He stared at me as if he is trying to figure me out or trying

GabrielI got to work a little bit late thanks to the new drugs prescribed to me by my doctor yesterday. I think the drug is very active since I over slept this morning. Taylor opened the door and I walked into the lobby ignoring anyone who greeted me. If I decide to respond to every greeting, then am going to spend all day in the lobby. I walked to my private elevator and it took me to the twenty forth floor.Just as I walked past the fax room, I heard her voice. 'Whats she doing here? Isn't she supposed to stay at home bed resting or something? I took a step forward to reprimand her for coming to work today but I stopped when I heard another voice"I haven't seen you after that day at the elevator?""I've been busy Alvera, you know... with work"Alvera? I can't remember that name. I guess that's what happens when you pay over two hundred staffs."Who you'd work under?" Alvera asked"Mr. Wash

Persefoni Everywhere is so sunny and bright, I stepped away from the shield then all of a sudden, everywhere is cloudy, I guess am aren't the sun's favorite, I tried to walk back to the shield before the clouds starts weeping but I was unfortunate again. The cloud releases its tears on me but something felt strange. I stared down at my soaked self but instead of a colorless, odorless and tasteless liquid, I saw red. It was raining blood.I woke up drenched in sweat, I checked my alarm clock and it showed me that it is still two in the morning. I rubbed my eyes as I my mind went back to that dream. Blood? It was raining blood instead of rain? In the world of witches, it means something big is about to happen and when I say big, I don't mean the good big. I mean that something very bad is about to happen. Back in the coven, it actually rains blood like literally. Whenever it rains blood in the coven, witches of the high places get t

3 years agoI stared at her beautiful body as she changed into her dress. Most ladies would have been ashamed of her body but not this one standing before me."You've been staring at me for some time, should I be worried?"I removed the duvet covering the lower part of my body and my hard erection sprang out. "The only thing you should be worried about is this cock finding its way into your pussy"She laughed at me "are you always this crude?""Why are hiding your name from me?"She turned so I can help her zip up her gown but I pulled her into the bed with me. "Just your first name please"She kissed me on the nose "you know the rule, no name. And why are you so keen on finding out my name? It's not as if you are going to see me again"Yeah... one her annoying rules. No name, no second meeting just a one night stand, no dropping me

GabrielThis is the second time am visiting a hospital in a month. Imagine having lunch with your secretary and she starts bleeding through the nose, she excuses herself to go use the rest room only for you to find her on the floor in the toilet bleeding not through her nose but through a gash on her head.A soft mourn brought back my attention to the woman lying on the bed. She opened her eyes and those wide innocent eyes stared back at me."Thank you for deciding to join us again Persefoni"She smiled and tried to sit up but I stopped her. "Why don't you relax while I call the doctor?" I pressed the button and a nurse walked in few minutes later."She's awake; I think she should be examined by the doctor"The dark nurse nodded in agreement before she retreated to call the doctor.The doctor walked in together with the nurse."How are you doing Miss Persefoni? You seem to be visiting us regularly"

PersefoniI may not know who is after me. The ancestors? I've not betrayed anyone so they have the wrong person if the message is actually from them but that's not what is bothering me now. What is bothering me is that Gabriel offered that I stay with him, and the fact that I like the idea is really bothering me. I can't get attached to him, I can't even develop feelings for him because feelings make you do stupid things and stupid things lead to death. I can tell him to go ahead and get the cops involved, at the end of the day I'll just send them into a goose chase.I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window. The weather looks fair and bright which is a good sign to any normal human being but as a witch, we read the cloud, we look beyond bright weather and this one above me, this one that am currently staring at isn't good at all. Something bad is about to happen. I may not be able to pin point the exact thing about to happen, because I wasn't a

Three years ago2 weeks later"I found her!!!!!!" Gabriella shrieked, disturbing the peace of all those working close to my office."Gabriella... Keep your voice down, you are in an office environment for Christ sake" She covered her mouth with her hand and quietly sat down on the empty chair close to my desk. I stood up and closed the door to my office, I do not want my parents to accidentally hear me discussing about a girl and also how to stop her from getting married to Richard."What do you have for me?" I asked her as I took a seat closest to hers. She brought out a big brown envelope and dropped it on my desk."I have everything you need to know about Susan Blaire" with the way she answered, I can see that she is feeling very proud of herself.I tried to pick up the envelope but she slapped my hand. "You aren't taking that until you tell me what you have in stock for Richard"
