PERSY"Hold up, what did you just say to me, motherfucker?" Aiden's voice sounded through the phone. I literally had my head in my hands on hearing that, as I stood a few inches away from Trevor. We were both in Trevor's mansion at the moment. Yes, Trevor owned a mansion; one which was almost the size of Aiden's in fact. He had even introduced the place as one of his apartments. To say that I was shook was a major understatement.Letting that slide for now, I listened for Trevor's reply, "You heard me—my girl is not here at the moment. You are calling for Persephone Walters, right?"Aiden answered at once, "Yes. Yes. I am calling for her and she is my girlfriend, so I do not know what you are on about."Before Trevor could go any further, I chirped in, "Ex. Ex-girlfriend.""Wait, what? Is that her voice I hear in the background?" He asked, his voice full of anticipation. I did not even bother to say a word, knowing the kind of person Trevor was. I knew that he would definitely make i

AIDENShe hung up on me, obviously avoiding to listen to whatever I had to say next. I sighed, then stood up and exited my office, fueled with anger.Hearing her voice again had messed me up completely. It was… sort of the last straw for me.When I got to work the next day, I waited to see her, even told the receptionist to send me a text if she later showed up. I waited and waited, but Persephone did not show up.I could not help but think that this was that bastard's fault. He was feeding her with lies and God knows fucking what. I had threatened him a couple of times but he would never reply. He avoided me duly, as well, as if he knew that it was the proper thing to do. I was out for blood at this point, I would not hesitate to have his head on a plate if I caught him around in any occasion or even around my companies.With Trevor, it was definitely on sight.I texted her a total of six times and got no response. I tried to call too, of course, but she would not pick up my calls. I

PERSYI had fallen asleep, and when I jolted out of bed and checked my phone, I discovered that it was 9pm already. Still holding the phone in my palm, staring at it while I tried to figure out my next step, the door creaked open.I raised my head to see who it was and I saw Kassie standing at the entrance, turning to look back briefly, probably to see if Aiden was anywhere nearby. I watched her as she did that, then eventually came in and spoke at once,"Get on your feet now."I raised a brow, amused at how that sounded. Whoever told this woman that she could try to order me around like that?"Sorry?" I started, but she tsked and got to where I was sitting on the bed, pulling me up at once. I gasped, then smacked her hand off my body. She tried to grip me again but I smacked her hand off again."Oh, you want a fight, don't you?" She asked, coming even closer to me. I pushed her away with one hand, my face twisted in annoyance."A fight? Why would I be fighting you?" I queried, givin

PERSY"He hardly even hesitated or anything! It was like he had been expecting this news for a long time! You need to see how he passed the papers to me so I would sign, I almost cried right there but I just had to hold myself until I came back. It just seemed like I was signing divorce papers… but isn't this also similar? This just means that I will not have anything to do with Aiden anymore, until God knows when." I relayed to Trevor who sat on the edge of my bed while I sat, lying against the headboard.He was listening attentively; a skill which I never guessed that he had in him. I continued, "You know, I thought I knew true love before… um, when I met you. But it just turns out that we had been playing with each other. We had both been using each other for what we had to offer, and nothing more. With Aiden, it is so much different. I can feel his love from a distance, I try to hate him and stay away from him but I am only killing myself the more I do. I do not know if my love f

PERSY I stared at my baby bump in the mirror, as little droplets of water dripped down my body. Yeah, that was not water but dirty, yucky sweat from trying to exercise all morning. Later on, I would resume marketing my products which were jewelries and makeup products that I advertised online.The accessories did not need my face or body, which was why I chose this line of business and so far, it was doing pretty well. I made enough sales to get myself what I needed and not having to touch the money I had set aside for college.I would be lying low in the meantime, until I was sure that the backlash I would be getting from social media would not be enough to pull my brand down.Sometimes, social media could just be so vicious. It was a great tool for business advertisement but once the people on Social media crossed you off, it would be pretty hard to get on their good side again.For now, they were torn between liking me or hating me. Most people said I was a cheapskate and gold di
