Chapter 99: Chapter 99 : She blocked my number

Persephone could literally hear her heartbeat thudding against her chest as she looked into Tekos' anticipating eyes.

In a panic, Persephone placed her hand on his chest in an attempt to stop him from getting any closer, but he instead held her hand and kissed it before continuing to speak.

"Tekos..."
