Perseforni
I waited patiently for Gabe to come home, although he didn't say much, he reacted much better than I expected. Taking deep breath, I opened the fridge, collected a bottle of water and slammed it back.
Unable to sit in a place, I began to pace from one corner of the house to another. Finally I heard the gate open before a car drove in. Since my pacing landed me in the living room, I dropped the bottle water on the table then cleaned my wet hand on my skirt.
The front door opened but instead of Gabe, Gabriella ran in with a crying Victoria looking like a deranged woman. All the senses in my body became alert. "Gabriella... What's going on? where is Gabriel?"
"He... Gabriel... The car... Smoke... I don't" she wiped her face but the tears kept coming. I couldn't understand what she's saying and the crying Vicky isn't even helping matter.
"Gabby...I need you to calm down and explain everything to me. What happened? Where is G

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

PERSEFONITwo weeks later, Gabe finally recommended me to his business associate who he very well knows is gay. That was the only reason why he even allowed me work. Although his jealous side is a bit annoying, but I also find it cute.Gabby who has been skimming through my wardrobe, searching for her own definition of best work outfit raised a slim fitted black gown and a nude 12”inches heel. “I found the perfect outfit Persefoni!I smiled at her through the window as I took in the gown. “The gown is pretty.” And the heels are perfect match, it complements the black gown. If there is something that I'm certain about myself, then it’s my fashion sense; I slay in the fashion world.“Mr. Puna is quite a lovely old man.” Gabby pointed out as she helped me straighten out my hair. “I love your hair,” she cooed “Can you perform some magic to make mine look like it?”I can,

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

Persefoni Today is really a hetic day, it has been from one meeting to another, fetching coffee repeatedly and trying to keep up with everything that is being said. Finally, we got ready for the last meeting for the day; I do not know what the meeting is about, Mr. Puna didn't inform me, and I didn't ask. Walking into the board room, I arranged table water on the conference table for each of the board members. Few minutes later, the room filled up with mostly unfamiliar faces, Mr Puna and his son Liam were the last to enter the conference room. I settled down next to Mr. Puna and brought out my book for notes in case of briefing after the meeting. Mr Liam looked up from his tablet and cleared his throat, getting the attention of his father and every other person in the room. "Is it necessary for her to be here?" it took me a minute to realize that I'm the one he's referring to. Tightening my lips, I forced myself not to scowl at him."She's my secretary Liam, and she's soon going

Gabriel Right across the table, I observed the young man seated at the far end corner of the table. I do not know why he's in possession of Persefoni's phone or his reference about the shirt, but one thing I know is that I'm either getting answers from him or from Persefoni and I definitely need to pay Puna a visit, he needs to explain why he failed to mention the change of power. "Do not murder him, he's Ken's friend, so I had to invite him." taking my eyes away from the bastard who is openly gawking at Persefoni, it landed on Gabby. "I'm guessing you've heard the news about his take over.""And you know this how?""Ken." she deadpanned as she refilled our wine glasses. "I just told you that they're friends." Rolling her eyes, she scanned the room. "Stop looking at me like that Gaberial, I only just heard about it."He obviously is into Persefoni, and I do not know how I feel about them working in the same space. "Persefoni loves you Gaberial, stop over thinking things." she nudge

PersefoniEvery male around me are insane at this point, that's the only reason why they'll be acting irrational... Like fucking crack teenagers who can't think straight. Logan wants to bring the coven out in the open. Nope... It's not what you're thinking... A week ago at Ken's birthday party, Logan paid me a visit... According to him, he wants to give the witches at the coven a better life, that he wants to give them the opportunity to mix with other humans and also allow them enjoy certain privileges that they enjoy too. I told him to explain further, but he told me that he's in a hurry and he promised to return soon. Now the disturbing part; Logan isn't the reason why I've been bleeding... I assumed he was letting me know about his presence here, but then he told me he knows nothing about it. Let's talk about Gabe, he has been visiting Puna's office very often, I've questioned him on the reason for his frequent visits but he has been evasive about the whole thing. Somehow, I fe

PersefoniI'm bleeding yet again. This time, I think I'm bleeding because of the stress. Gabby thinks I can heal her father of cancer. In all honesty, I wish I can, but I can't, the least I could do is to give him more time, slow the cancer growth and give him time to make peace with his family but Gabby has refused to believe me. She thinks I'm being stingy with my power. She thinks I do not want to heal him because of what he did to Gabriel, due to the fact, I'm her least favorite person. She doesn't take my calls and hardly says two words to me whenever she brings Vicky over to the house. Even Gabriel has noticed the tension between us and has questioned me few times on what was going on between Gabby and I, but I assured him that everything is absolutely fine. Don't get me started on Logan, he disappeared from the face of the earth after our last meeting. I wasn't expecting much from him, but the least he could do was to call me after dropping such silly news to me. Imagine al

PersefoniGabriel is getting worse. He's hardly at home, and the few hours that he decides to be at home, he's always on his phone. I've grown to ignore him, mostly because my new boss is killing me with extra work load. You heard me right. Gabriel finally bought Mr. Puna's company and Liam returned to his father company. According to him, his grandfather's company was on the verge of sinking anyways. He believes that there was nothing he would have done that will save it, but I think that's his own way of brushing up his ego. If that company was redemption, Gabriel wouldn't buy it for anything. I stared at the wall clock and considered calling Gabe. He's usually late, but never this late. The distant voice of Gabby took my mind off calling him for few minutes. Her footstep drew closer and closer until she appeared by the doorway. "I came to pick some clothes for Gabriel, he won't be coming home tonight."Panic freezed my blood. "Is everything okay? Why isn't he coming home tonight
