Gabriel
I came back that night to a quiet apartment, I walked to the kitchen to take a cup of water and I met Jennifer packing away some left overs into the refrigerator. She startled when she saw me nearly dropping the plate she was carrying."I didn't hear you come in sir" she rambled with a hand placed on her chest.I opened the fridge and took what I came for "you should pay closer attention to your environment""I'm sorry sir"I ignored her apology "where is Persefoni?""I think she's in her room" she replied nonchalantly, still packing away some leftoversPersefoni is not comfortable with her, and I will not allow her to make Persefoni more uncomfortable with her attitude. "What do you mean by you think? Haven't you been with her in this house since?" I closed in on her, my height towering over her "if you want to keep your job, you'll have to drop this fucking attitude"SheRelated chapters

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

PersefoniI told Gabriel that I will meet him at home, but he refused to leave me alone with a stranger_ his words not mine_ I told him that Logan is an old friend but he still refused to leave me alone with him. I know he has questions for me, just last night I told him that I don't know anybody by the name Logan and today, I'm telling him that the same Logan I claimed not to know is now an old time friend.At the end of the argument between Gabriel and I, he agreed to give us ten minutes while he waits in the car. He told me that the attacker could be anywhere, so he is not taking any chances just because I met an old friend."What is he? Your bodyguard?" Logan asked a little surprised that I have to get his approval before talking to him."He's my boss Logan""Your boss?" Releasing a short laughter, he directed his glare towards Gabriel's car "I didn't know you need to get the approval of your boss before talking to

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

Three years agoI was in the kitchen, preparing coffee when Gabby walked in looking like shit. I handed her a cup of coffee and she blew me a kiss as she sat down."How are you feeling?" I asked her. Gabby loves her alcohol but I've never seen her this drunk before.Sipping her coffee a little loudly, she shrugged "I feel better than I deserve. When did I get home?"Get home my ass "you mean, when I picked you up?" Remembering the mess she made on my rug is bad enough to sore my moodShe winced "is it that bad? How bad was it?""Bad enough that you wanted to join a stripper on stage" pouring myself a cup of coffee, I turned to glare at her just yesterday, I told you that if we want to fight dirty with Richard, then you must abstain from anything that will lead to scandal then you go off and try that nonsense. Do you know what it would have looked like for you to appear in front of a magazine drunk as fuck and dancing like a damn stripper?She dropp

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

GabrielWhen 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?

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
