/Hunter's POV/“Penelope, you’re born on June 16th, not January 26th,” I admitted, not wanting her to ask a lot of questions because I didn't think I was ready to tell her that she was the mafia Princess that is why everything she's feeling is normal, it's hard keeping the secret that I married her for her inheritance, which I don't think I am interested in anymore.“What do you mean by that? Stop making up for your mistake in a stupid way, we can just brush it off and pretend as if it didn't happen, or you could still make up for it instead of making me feel stupid.” She whispered, fear lingering in her voice, I don't know how I'm supposed to explain this to her.“You know what? I think I will prefer wishing you on June 16th, so that means you can have your birthday twice a year,” I offered, smiling and kissing the nape of her neck to get her relaxed.“I don't know what to say about that, but it's very strange and weird to have two birthdays for one person in a year,” She chuckled ne
/Penelope's POV/“Can we not go back?” I groaned out, rolling with the blankets which were covering the love bites on my body, it was like a full tattoo drawn all over my body.“I know you don't want to go but, we can always come back. You know our lives are not like that, we can't be gone for too long, we can't have our enemies infiltrating our house,” He informed me while pulling the blanket off me and tickling me.“Okay, okay. Let's go. I will go, just stop. I promise I'm choking on my spit,” I cried out, coughing and laughing while squealing like a schoolgirl.“That's my good girl, I know it's hard for you to leave. But I promise I will come back here with you or we will go to another place,” He assured me while slapping my ass.“It hurt already, don't remind me. I just hope things will remain the same because if I'm to be honest, this is the highlight of my life, literally the best time I've ever had, I can't get over the fact I stayed with my husband in an isolated island for a
/Hunter's POV/“What the fuck? Why is my hotel on fire? Who caused it?” I raged.“You all better start talking, or so help me God I will light you all on fire.” I threatened, looking at my employees who were looking down like they were seeing something interesting on the floor.“We also don't know how it happened, but I saw a plane twirling around the building, it happened about seven to nine times, I can't recall but I know it should be up to that, the camera facing up was able to catch that before the building blew up, the Rave said she saw a car drove by and threw a lighter at the building we were lucky to be able toSave it.” He finished his rubbish and I had to call upon the guardians of hell to hold me back.“Are you hearing yourself? Why were you away from the CCTV control room? You had only one work, you could have raised the alarm if you had seen it happen, but you're now telling me what happened after it had happened? What am I supposed to do with that? You're infuriating t
/Penelope's POV/“Can you not go? What if you get hurt?” I whined, looking at my husband gearing to attack Scorpion, I can’t deny the fact that he was out of proportion and he blew shit up himself, but I was worried for him, what if he doesn’t come back, what if he gets injured beyond treatment?“I’m sorry love, but this is inevitable and it must happen, you have to understand that even though I want to be here with you, I have a reputation to safeguard and I will lose it if I keep on overlooking things like this,” He explained, but it wasn’t making any ounce of sense in my head, but if there is something I have known about Hunter, it’s that whatever he sets his mind to do, there is no going back for him.“I understand but you can send your men, at least I get to know they are safe.” I pleaded, sounding so desperate that I was considering the option of getting on my knees.“The mafia doesn’t work that way in my family, my men are not my slaves, they are family and family protect each
/Penelope's POV/“Accident.” He mumbled, my step faltered, and his grip on my hands tightened, I placed my head on the migraine forming, and the bile rising in my throat increased tenfold.“What? Who had an accident? How did it happen? They just left a few hours ago? Was it all a set-up?” I questioned feeling weak and worried, the question resting at the tip of my tongue remained there, and the sudden urge to appear at my husband's side to check if he was okay became overwhelming.“I wasn't given many details, but from the look of it, he was severely injured, Gabriel sounded so scared, and that has never happened before, he's always the one who doesn't show what he's feeling, so for him to act so scaredly, it must be something pretty serious.” He informed me, that my knees buckled one more time, if it wasn't for the iron grip on my fist, I'm sure I would not be able to stand.“I should not have ignored the nagging feeling, I should have known there was something wrong. I should have t
/Penelope’s POV/It's been two weeks now and Hunter is still yet to be fully conscious, his motor reflexes are fully active and his eyes are opened, he listens to my ramble but I am so sad that he can't talk, but I'm thankful because this is better than losing him.The doctors are saying that there is a possibility that he might be able to talk in a few hours, but the underlying question of him being able to retain his memory still lingers in the atmosphere.“How is Gabriel doing? ” I questioned, not sparing a glance at Big Drive whose body dipped the sofa down, I scowled at him.“You elephant, take it easy, you will spoil this couch if you continue dropping your body on it like a bag of beans,” I glared, a small smile became evident on his stressed face, his dark circles standing out, we had barely gotten good and decent amount of sleep, especially with how paranoid Big Drive has been, he has this nagging feeling that someone can remove their oxygen masks while we are sleeping.“You
/Penelope's POV/“Nope, I can’t remember, it’s as if that part of my memory has wiped off, ” He admitted.Since then, I have been busy with my little research, trying to figure out who did that to him, I know Big Drive and Gabriel are out of it, but this looks a lot like an inside plan, all I wanted to do was get my hands on any information, I’ve never been a fan of a computer but I have to be a hacker if I want to know what happened, realizing that there was a tracker in their car which is not theirs, I wondered how it got there.“Do you know about a tracker placed in the SUV? This doesn’t look like yours, it looked a lot like a foreign tracker, I’ve been trying to get who it came from, but I’m still a novice when it comes to this.” I asked Gabriel, trusting him and Bog Drive about this information, I did not say anything to my husband, probably because I knew he would go nuts or try to stop me and I couldn’t have that, so it is us three little secrets.“Nope, but it looks very famil
/Penelope's POV/“I think there is someone after Hunter’s throne.” I read out loud seeing the text from Bella.“I don't know if our phones are being tapped right now, but I think we need to keep it away, at least from where we would be having our conversation. ” she mouthed, not whispering anything, thankfully I paid attention to the reading people's mouth out of curiosity, nodding my head. I snatched the device from her and placed it close to a snoring Big Drive.“What do you mean, or should I rephrase it as what do you know?” I mumbled muffling our voices, I don't want to think that this place is tapped with wires or hearing devices, but there is a possibility that there might be, as we don't know the extent of who we are dealing with.“I know damn much that only a few people, know that Hunter is in a coma, the others think he's on a trip right now, I went to an underground club yesterday, that's where information is being bought or heard by threats.” She explained, breaking it down
