PERSY
I fully expected the creak sound that came from the door. In fact, I had freshened up and changed into neat set of clothes—jogger pants and a simple t-shirt, because of this. At least, if Aiden came around and decided that he wanted me to call his dad back and apologize, I had to look better, so the man could actually listen to me speak."Who is it?" I asked, even if I knew that the only person who could access the room without knocking was Aiden. There was no answer; not that I had expected one, anyways.The door opened in seconds and Aiden materialized in front of it, all dressed in a gray suit and equally gray pants that matched his eyes, with his briefcase in his left hand. His cologne filled the room instantly, making me dizzy with fear, so much that I even began to murmur a quick prayer.He slammed the door shut behind him, his cold eyes meeting mine at once. I stopped the murmuring immediately, afraid he would call it something else."Oh hey!" I called out, wearing a nervous smile. "You should have told me you would be coming… I would have—""You don't really need this contract, do you?" He asked me ever so casually. I opened my mouth to disagree with him but he wasn't finished, "You want to be on the streets again, is that it?""That's not what I want..""It's obviously what you want. If not, why would you embarrass me on your very first meeting with my dad? It's like you could not even wait to show off your razz behavior, for fuck's sake…" He spat at me, leaning backwards against the door with his arms crossed over his chest. His expression was the most rigid I had seen."If I knew that this is how ungrateful you would turn out to be, I would have left you on the streets, I'm sure it would only be a matter of time before you stole something else like the petty thief you are, and you would definitely get caught this time. Or I should have taken you to jail already, save storeowners the stress of trying to recover their goods from you." He gave me a disgusted once over and if his words had hurt me, the look in his eyes broke down my spirit.Still, I blinked back the tears that wanted so much to escape my eyelids, and I fiddled with the tip of my hair as a way to control my emotions. "I'm sorry that I behaved badly at the meeting…" The words were like stone on the tip of my tongue. It made me recall how much trouble I had stirred up when my parents were still alive, and how I never apologized if it wasn't my fault. I was always such a troublemaker, even if most times it was just because people got on my nerves for no reason. This time, I knew I had to be the bigger person… or at least, act like one. So I continued, "I could apologize to him if that is what you want… and the rest of the people who were present too…"He watched me for a long while after my suggestion, until I began to shift my feet from side to side nervously.Then he finally responded, "I would not be this nice to you if something like this happens again. I am not a kind man, but I am sure you know that already. I will not tolerate you being a nuisance to the partners in my business for no reason—""Sorry, no reason? He literally came at me first! Everyone saw how he tried to talk down on me!""Everything he said was the truth, though, wasn't it? You could have handled that in a much better way, a more mature way." His tone was cold as he dragged out the last part of his sentence."He was literally insulting Kassie! Would she have taken that? Such level of disrespect?" I threw at him, unable to hold back anymore.He laughed, though it was sinister, with no emotion at all attached to it. "Kassie would very much take it. She is the most compliant woman you would ever meet. She knows when to speak in that elegant way of hers, and she also knows when to shut the fuck up. She never confronts anyone, and when I dish out instructions to her, I do not have second thoughts about it because I know she would never do otherwise. Kassie is the easiest woman to handle, but just one meeting with you and I'm developing a damn headache. What would it take for you to be like Kassie?"I shook my head. "Nothing. I would never be like her. I am a Walters, and we are fierce people in my family. My father would definitely toss and turn in his sleep if he found out I lost my strong will… it's all I have.""You are better off without it, for the duration of this contract. I do not care if anyone abuses you directly or whatever, you will take it without whining about it or talking back. I will not tolerate that sharp mouth when it comes to my business, do you understand?"I was about to counter what he had said, further tell him why I would never be his puppet, or anyone else's for that matter, but then the look on his face caused me to swallow the words at once.I settled for saying instead, "I'm not promising anything, but I'll try to be good to your business partners from now on.""You will not try. You will make sure that you are good to them, because anymore misbehavior from you will have great consequences. I will make sure that the punishment which I'll prepare for you would suit the gravity of your sin." He promised, leaning off the door and dusting his gray suit pants casually whilst threatening me.I swallowed, then nodded after a while, too tired to fight him now. My lips had already began to quiver, a warning that the tears were on the verge of escaping my eyelids… but I could not allow him to see me weak like that, so I muttered, "I understand all you have said. I will try to be compliant… I mean, I will… I will be more compliant from now onwards. Sorry if I caused any trouble for you earlier today."Okay, I felt so stupid with the moisture blocking my vision so much. Why the hell was I about to cry now? I never cried, not even when dad's brothers made jest of me for hours, not even when the neighbors whispered in high notes about how unwanted I was. So why was I being so stupid now?"Are you going to stand there all day?" I snapped at him when he just stood there and watched me without moving an inch."I need to get a video of you apologizing to my father and the other board members. You seem emotionally unprepared for that, so if you would…" He gestured towards the bathroom, and a tear rolled down my cheek at that moment. I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me whole at that point.He looked at me with a foreign expression on his face, and then all of a sudden, he was looking at my lips for some reason best known to him. I flipped him the bird, then turned and dashed into the bathroom to quietly sob some more before washing my face.When I got out of the bathroom, he sat on the bed with his laptop open on his lap, looking as serious as ever. Then he lifted his head up just to search my face for a few seconds before saying, "Put up your best solemn expression, and make this the best apology you have ever given to anyone."And so I did that. Or at least, I tried to.AIDENFor some fucked up reason, I was hard as a rock by the time I left Persy's room. The mere idea of it had me riddled with shame. How could I be so turned on by that girl? I had a deviant taste, which consisted of me getting turned on by a woman or several women's pain. It was why I did not find it strange that seeing Persy cry had stirred up my cock right away. What I found strange however, was why the hard-on refused to lessen, even after she had gotten over her pain.I did not want to admit being interested in her, simply because I was not. I had not been interested in Kassie that way, and she looked exactly like Persy. I would find a way to kill this physical attraction, just because I wanted nothing to get in the way when we would finally want to terminate the contract.Until then, though. For now, I had to take care of the goddamn monster in my pants."Aiden Bates." I spoke into the phone as soon as the call went through. Gianna's high-pitched voice came in right away, "Oh,
PERSYI loved my new life. It could be a bit boring at times, and I did admit that I actually needed a friend or two, but for the most part, my life was going great. Just this afternoon, I ordered some designer wears online and proceeded to sit on the bed with some chicken wings in hand, resting against the headboard, legs crossed while watching a show on the laptop I got from Sam the other day. Aiden had already sent my first pay and it was barely two weeks into the contract. 150,000 dollars! I cried for a full hour, before sucking it up and dancing around the room like a maniac.I tried to call Aiden to say thank you, but he did not pick up, instead, he sent a text message which told me to send a text if I really needed something. I spent hours re-reading my text message to avoid being jabbed by him, and still, when I finally sent the message which consisted of just two short sentences, he sent another message correcting my tenses. I had been so close to sending him a ‘fuck you’ te
PERSY I could not stop thinking about it, and Aiden was not making things easy for me in any way. He kept sending all manner of uncouth messages to me, ones that left me hot and bothered in bed until I resorted to touching myself one fateful night under the duvet. I felt so filthy the next morning, and it did not help that he did not send any other messages from that night until today. That was two days ago, by the way. I decided to clear my head from all that today, by going out to have a drink by myself somewhere. Maybe a coffee shop, like I saw people do in movies. I received my designer clothes the day before, and currently, I was checking out blue cargo pants and the branded t-shirt which was one of the designer wears delivered to me. The fit was absolutely crazy! I was at the verge of sending the fifth message to the brand in the span of two hours just to tell them once again how amazing their t-shirt was, but I decided to let the urge go. I crowned the fit with a face cap,
AIDEN "Sir, promise me you won't do anything rash when you see this." I faintly heard Sam say from the other side of my desk, but I was too busy concluding a transaction, so I said nothing in response. A few minutes later, I heard him speak again, "I'm so sorry to interrupt your work, Sir, but there is something very important that you need to know." "Why can't it wait, Sam? Can you not see how busy I am?" I finally looked up from my laptop, though very slowly, my voice full of annoyance. "I am truly very sorry, Sir." He bowed his head in respect, then went on, "Your dad has been calling, and I think it is regarding the act that happened a few hours ago. I'm afraid Pers… I mean, Kassie—your girlfriend has succeeded in breaking the internet." I sat straighter, all my attention now fully focused on Sam who stood with his hands behind his back, right in front of my office desk. He did not need me to tell him to carry on, as he already knew he had me now. But of course. This was abou
AIDENIt only lasted for the briefest second, though, before she pulled away and practically ran back. She blinked over and over, while staring at me like she could not believe she had dared to kiss me. I stood very still as well; I could not believe it too.Not the kiss. I could not believe how ready I was to grab her and deepen the kiss before she bolted. That simple kiss brought back memories. Memories I tried to suppress for days came crashing down now, and they consisted of her, too… under her duvet, touching herself and moaning quietly like she could feel my eyes on her.It was after my last text; I had sent the dirtiest message that night, it involved my fingers in her pussy. My instincts pushed me to check the cameras after sending that text, only to catch her touching herself so stealthily like some goddamn virgin. I doubted if she was one, though. I actually never liked messing around with virgins, but I found myself not minding it if it was her.I could not guarantee being
PERSYI'd never met a man like Aiden in my life. A man so bold with what he wanted, a man so experienced. Well, maybe it was because I hadn't met many men. Trevor had prohibited me from even making friends, and now, I wondered why I had let him treat me like that.'Probably because he technically did everything for you.' My subconscious reminded me. It was true. What would I have done without Trevor? He was my savior, back when my parents had just died. He took me into his house, because he lived alone and promised me that I could stay with him until whenever.Despite the bad memories with him, Trevor was actually a good person. I believed so.What happened yesterday, however, explained why I had chosen to stay on the streets, rather than go back to beg Trevor. He was toxic—annoyingly so, and I knew I was better off without him.Wait. Yesterday?I jerked up from bed with a start, looking around and coming to the heart-breaking realization that I had actually fallen asleep despite all
PERSYI think he cooked? Or maybe that was Sam? I fell unconscious again, and once more, I saw mom and dad in my trance. Did they want me to come with them? Maybe I should go…"Hey. Hey. Kassie? Open your eyes, come on." I heard a familiar voice say, but it sounded so far away… Who was Kassie? I thought my name was Persy?Maybe the person wasn't talking to me…"Fuck, open your eyes, goddamnit." I felt the person shake me frantically. My body fell limp as soon as whoever it was let go of me.My eyes were too heavy, I could not do it… My lips too, I had not strength to part them; I could not say a word. Was this how mom and dad died too? This was the point where I would have begun to cry my eyes out, but at this point there were no tears left to cry.I could feel life leaving me slowly. And the scary part? I could do nothing about it, I was too submerged in the darkness to."Stay with me. Fucking stay with me, you cannot die on me now, I have no other doppelgänger to go to!" I could sti
PERSYLuckily for me, that was a joke. Yes, according to Aiden. I know, right? I did not peg him for one who would crack jokes out of the blue. He was not good at it—the jokes, is what I mean. None of us laughed afterward, it was as bad as that.I had mixed feelings on whether or not I wanted him to continue making jokes, though. I mean, this joke just saved my ass.Aiden had since left, though. He got another phone call for an emergency meeting. I was alone for the night! Not like I expected a man like Aiden to sleep over with me…Shrugging thoughts about the infuriating man off my mind, I finally cleared up the last plate of food and then began to struggle to get up. I finally did, but instead of the usual seconds it would take for me to reach the bed, it took over one full minute now. I stopped by in front of my mirror, slipping my robe open a bit just to check out myself and laugh about my pregnant-looking stomach for sometime."Nah, I would look so good being pregnant." I mutter
