AIDENShe left me alone with the random girl I picked at the club, and immediately, I pushed the girl off me and started towards the door. I then signaled for the guy behind the loveseat to come out. Yes, she had not really been sucking my dick. I had no idea why, but I just could not bring myself to do that to Persephone. Stupid, yes. I fucking knew that already.I hid someone else behind the loveseat in her room and made the whole thing look like she was truly sucking me off. She fell for it, just as I expected. The dumb motherfucker whom I pushed away, felt I was in for games, so she gripped my arm and tried to sweeten her voice as she asked me, "Come on, Mr Bates, I can give you a wholesome night. I always knew you are not content with your girlfriend. She looks boring, I can make sex really, really fun for you, you know."She even winked at me, biting her lips like she was possessed. Firstly, I unwrapped her hand from my arm and she tried to touch me again, but the look in my ey

PERSYI was running a fever. I could feel my body burning up and there was nothing I could do about it.I already knew why I had gotten sick. I had been crying nonstop for days now, I figured that the act would take its toll on me soon enough. I covered myself with the duvet completely. Even my head was well-sheathed in the thick material.I was struggling to breathe, but still shaking with cold.I knew someone who would make it better if he were here. Aiden. I wanted him here, but I could not call him. It was a case of the spirit being willing, and the body being so damn weak to move a muscle.Yesterday night... Well, I would always remember it. I told him I loved Roses, and he remembered it. He got me a bunch of them to apologize and even knelt down to say his apologies. I had almost forgotten about the blood on his shirt due to his apologies, but I recalled it now.Did he kill someone? Was Aiden truly a murderer? And would he kill for my sake?For what felt like hours, I twisted an

AIDENI laughed. Because this was a joke, right?"Are you into jokes now? Why would you take it this far, though?" I asked, walking towards her now. She held a hand out like that would stop me from moving to her. I threw the hand to one side and pulled her by her waist to myself, joining our foreheads as I implored, "Tell me what's wrong, baby."She placed her hand on my chest to push me away, but I did not move. This was not a joke. Something was going on, and knowing Persy, I would have to force it out of her."I just... I need to go. Kassie would be returning next week. She asked me to go, as she would be announcing that she is traveling out of the country for a while. Aiden, I do not want to be a problem. Thank you so much for taking good care of me for the time was here. I would not be forgetting you in a hurry, I—""Keep the farewell speech to your fucking self, Persephone. I do not want to hear it, because you are not leaving me, is that clear?" I held her chin, stronger than I

PERSYI decided to heed to Aiden's words, after all. I stayed back, even resumed work a few days later. The workers here, luckily for me, were not nosey people, unlike the asswipes in the other branch. As soon as they laid eyes on me, they all poured out their greetings and just continued with their day—as they should. I entered into my office, smiling from how warm their welcome was.I had just finished opening my blinds when my phone rang on my desk. I ignored it during the first few rings, and then when the call was persistent, I groaned and went to pick it up.I placed the device against my ear immediately the call went through, not bothering to check caller ID or anything."Hello?" My voice was filled with the frustration I deeply felt. "Wow. An attitude already?"On hearing his voice, the anger I had previously felt began to dissipate. "You are so annoying. I mean, we just talked this morning so why are you calling me now?" I questioned, acting like I did not enjoy how quick

PERSYIt was with big, fat tears tolling down my cheeks that I blocked Aiden's number. I blocked his number alongside every other person I knew through him. His parents were included, of course.I kept hitting my chest as I stayed under a familiar bridge and cried my eyes out. I covered my face up as usual. I had a really big scarf which actually came in handy now. I covered my face with it, just so the nosy paparazzi would not make a feast out of my misery. Of course, I had changed out of my work clothes.I threw on a really big gown which came down to my feet instead. I fucking hated this. The first thing I would be doing after I had managed to calm down a bit was book a plane and leave the country. Everything about this place would keep reminding me of him, and it was the last thing I wanted. I needed to leave this place before I would go crazy from thinking so much."I hate this. I hate this so much." I muttered to myself as I cried into my arms which rested on my knees. I was si
