All Chapters of Refrainment: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Three years agoI couldn't concentrate; my mind always finds a way to drift to Susan. Today she's packing all her stuffs to come live with me. If not for a very important meeting that I have today, I would have stayed with her. Ever since I heard she's carrying my baby, I've taken extra care with the things I do around her. I don't drink alcohol around her so she won't have the urge to drink too. I've prevented her from carrying anything heavy which is why I hired people to help her move the things she wants to bring home."So what do you think Mr. Gabriel?"I blinked back to reality. Staring at the young presenter, I looked around to find everybody's eyes on me including that of Mr. Washington my father."What do you think son?" He asked, pointing towards the drawing on the marker board "with everything she has said so far, I need your input. Do you think it's a good business venture or not?"I didn't hear a word she said so I don't know what to

PerseforniShould I go with her? All I have to do is learn some magic for my self defense... I'm not going to fight anybody unless they come for me. I can also use it to keep Gabriel and Gabriella safe. I can also break off the curse, then I can finally be with Gabriel..."Are your passing the coffee or what!?" A voice snapped at me, bringing me back to reality.I smiled apolitically towards the already annoyed customer. Just to  placate the angry customer, I offered my money for lunch "the coffee is on the house ma'am"The woman looked as if she wasn't in the best of moods because she slammed her bill on the counter, glared at me heavily before storming out of the coffee shop. I turned to the left only to find the manager glaring at me too.He matched over to the counter and instructed Laura to take over "to my office now!" He barked, his face showing just how angry he is.I followed him like a lost and wet puppy as we headed for his office. Immed

Gabriel Things have been... Well not that smooth, Gabby finally left Ken, according to her she needs some space that she can't think clearly if she's around her husband or around her home so instead of allowing her to stay in a hotel room with little Vicky, I offered her my house. After all, she's my twin sister, my only family... Considering all things. Speaking about the second lady who I thought is my second chance at love. Although I never confessed my feelings to her, never told her that I love her. she may have known from my behavior back then, because no man will go out of his way to help, protect and behave the way that I did treated her if he doesn't have feelings for the person in question. I did not know that what I felt towards her was love until she left, until I came home without seeing her anywhere and until I got to the office only to be seeing someone who isn't Perseforni outside my office as my secretary. 'I left to

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

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
