All Chapters of Refrainment: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ten years agoI looked out through the window and watched them prepare for the big day. All streets were decorated, loud music filled the surroundings. I watched happy young ladies and men talking in groups, their faces portraying how happy they are and how they are looking forward to the great occasion.Today, all adult witches are being inaugurated into the witches family. Those who want to serve the Oracle begin that journey today. All those who are from twenty years upwards are going to be recognized as full grown witches in the coven."What are you doing there Persefoni? Shouldn't you be out there working with your mates?"I know that voice, I've grown to hate that voice. "I came up here to get some ribbons for decoration""I don't see you selecting ribbons, all I see is your lazy self looking out the window wishing for something that can never be yours"I maybe cursed from birth, but that doesn't mea

Three years agoIt took me more than two hours to get Gabriella to my house thanks to her constant request to throw up. I dumped her on the bed. Removing her shoes and clothes, I left her in just her under wears. I also dropped an empty bucket on the floor just In case she wants to throw up. I don't want her messing up my floor. Making sure that she's comfortable to an extent, I closed the door. Picking up my car key, I drove back to the club with just one intention which is to see Susan and if possible bring her back home with me.I arrived at the club faster than I did when I was taking Gabriella home. I tipped the bouncer and walked into the club. Looking at the exact pole where I saw my Susan shaking her assets, I found it empty.Grabbing one of the feather girls walking around, I dragged her closer to me so she can hear me amidst the music."I need a VIP booth"She eyed me seductively and indicated that I follow her. I fo

Gabriel Feeling like I've betrayed Susan by kissing Persefoni, I cleaned my bleeding nose with great force as a form of punishment for kissing her. Someone knocked on my door and I ignored it. The persistent knocking proved that it was my crazy twin sister Gabriella. I walked out of the bathroom to open the door for her.  The door opened a little, she pushed her away into my room without her baby Vicky. "What is going on between you and Persefoni?"She asked looking around as if I expecting to see her in my room My balled up fist squeezed the towel that I used in cleaning my nose "that isn't any of your business. And where the hell did you drop your baby?" She waved her hands around "she's sleeping in my room, but that's not the answer to the question I asked you. . . What is going on between you and Persefoni?" "That is none of your fucking business Gabriella, stay out of my fucking business. Shouldn't you be at home w

PersefoniI watched with wide eyes as Gabriel ordered his sister to leave his house. And did he just fire her? I watched as Gabriella cleaned her tears stained face, she gave me a sad smile before picking up her phone which was lying on the table."I'm sorry you had to see us fight like that Persefoni"Well I'm the one who should be sorry for standing here during the fight and making everything awkward thereafter. "It's okay, I'm sure Gabriel will calm down pretty soon, then you both can work things out"Smiling sadly at me, she shook her head "the last time I saw him this angry was three years ago but the anger was directed towards my parents and ever since then, they are yet to amend their broken relationship""I don't know what his relationship with your parents was like before, but one thing I do know is that your relationship with Gabriel is very tight, and he won't destroy it just because of your one mistake"Sniffing, she looked up dabbing tears

Three years agoThings have been going perfectly fine with Susan and I. I can't believe we been together for just six months, it feels as if I've known her forever. I practically kneeled down before her and pleaded with her to move in with me but stubbornly refused.A knock on my door brought me back to the stack of documents and files on my desk demanding my attention. The person at the other end does not obviously need my permission to enter because the door opened and in walked the master planner, my mother.I stood up at her arrival out of respect. "Mum, you didn't tell me you were coming, is everything okay?"My mother has the ability to make ordinary sitting down look classy, she dropped her Prada handbag on my desk before crossing her legs "I am here to actually see your father, so I decided to drop by and have a little chat with you"Closing my laptop, I gave her my full attention "what do you want to talk about?"My secretary opened my door and
