Persefoni
I 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 tearsGabrielWhen Persefoni told me that Peter is here, that was when I realized how stupid I am. How can I be drafting a contract without my lawyer? A lawyer that I happened to fire just yesterday but when Peter also walked in without his lawyer I began to wonder what we are really going to be doing here today.Peter walked in and sat down, giving me that creepy smile of his that will make other people very uncomfortable. "You look good Gabriel" crossing one of his legs across his knees, he relaxed comfortably, a little comfortably for someone who came for business purposes."I can't see your lawyer anywhere Peter, need I ask you where they are? And what you are doing here without them?"He shrugged nonchalantly "my lawyer had a family emergency that couldn't wait, so I let him go for the mean time but I didn't want to miss my appointment with you, so here I am without my lawyer but I don't see yours either Gabriel"Is he baiting me? We
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
PersefoniI got home that night before Gabe, I saw Jennifer setting the table, she pretended as if she didn't see me come in, not that I care."I won't be having dinner this night Jennifer, count me out"She finally looked up "is Mr. Washington not having dinner too?"I continued my journey to my room without stopping "you should wait until he gets back. Only him has the answer to that question" not waiting to hear her response, I walked into my room, locked my door, removed my shoe and slumped on the bed.I thought about today's event, my encounter with Logan and Gabe's suspicious questioning. It's very funny that the ancestors think that me Persefoni, a cursed slave is going to cause the downfall of witches. That is absolutely ridiculous.Bonnie will be so delighted to do this work. After all she is the reason I got arrested the last time. I looked around the room. What am I even doing here? I know who attacked me and Gabe cannot help me in anyw
GabrielFlipping through some files, my mind kept drifting to Gabby and Ken. Why would Ken cheat on her? I thought he loves her, so why cheat? My father is a lot of things, but a cheat isn't one of them. My ringtone brought my mind back from that direction its going, seeing Desmond's name, I picked the call."Boss... She's missing"My world stilled. My heart doubled its beat "who is missing?" God help him if it is what I really think."Miss Persefoni sir... She left for bathroom break and is yet to come back sir. We've searched the ladies toilet but no one is there. The boys are out the street looking, I'm sure they will find her""How difficult is it to keep one woman, just one woman safe and in sight?" I spat "how long did she leave for the bathroom break before you discovered she's missing?""She was gone for thirty minutes sir"Fuckkk!!! "Thirty fucking minutes? And you think whoever that took her will wait around until you find them? You think
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
PersefoniIt's been two months since I left New York, with hope that Bonnie and Logan will come after me but so far, I've neither seen them or heard anything about them. Maybe they got tired of searching for me so they returned to the coven."Are you going to give me my coffee or do you want to hold on to it the whole day!?" The irritated customer snapped at me, clearly tired of waiting for me.I smiled apologetically at her before handing the coffee over to her. She glared at me before taking the coffee forcefully causing some of it to spill. Not even slightly bothered with the mess she created, she walked swiftly out of the coffee shop.Taking a rag, I wiped the spilled coffee before attending to the next customer with the fake painful smile permanently plastered on my face and that was how I spent the rest of my day making and serving coffee.I got home very late in the night, thanks to my pain in the ass in the person of Chris who happens to be the owner
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
Three years agoFor the past three weeks, things have been going on well with Susan and I although I know that it won't remain that way if I don't grant her request. She have been hounding me to take her to my parents, but knowing how my mom isn't in support of the wedding and how my dad always listens to my mum, things isn't going to go smoothly if they see her. I told her to continue the wedding plan that we will send them invitation when the cards are ready but she bluntly refused."Are you even listening to me Gabriel?" Gabby who have been talking my ear off ever since I sat down on this chair to have lunch with her. "Do you know how difficult it is to narrate someone? It's just like drawing and you not listening to me is just like tearing an artist almost finished work then tell him to start again. It's frustrating Gabriel!"Taking a sip of my wine, I began to ask myself why I even agreed to do lunch with her "sorry my mind went off for a little bit. What were yo
