Auctioned To My Betrothed Not a trophy wife
/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
Auctioned To My Betrothed The text message
/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
Auctioned To My Betrothed Help me, doctor!
/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
Auctioned To My Betrothed Facial expression
/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
Auctioned To My Betrothed Rollercoaster of professions
/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
Auctioned To My Betrothed The Seductress
/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

|Penelope’s POV| “Care to tell me what is going on between Snake and my sister? I knew they could not tolerate themselves before but I can't say anything about that since I was out for a long period.” He rasped, his breath sending shivers down my spine and making the hairs on my skin stand erect. “Maybe you should ask your sister, but I don’t want you to discourage her or say something bad about Snake, I know they may have difficulties in their relationship at first, but who doesn’t? Trust me, he is the best one for your sister and I can tell that he would never let anything happen to her, he is a very possessive one.” I pointed out while rubbing his chin and looking at our kids who seemed to be growing too fast because it was almost their first birthday. “Snake is not a good person, he is more cruel and canny than I am. I know he is the best option for her, but he has some traits that I don’t think Bella would be able to cope with, and I would not take it lightly with him if he hur

/Snake’s POV/“Little Tiger? You need to stop, or else you will kill him, he has to atone for his sins, so he doesn't deserve to die now.” I whispered into her ears before snatching her by the waist, firmly holding her curvy body before throwing her on my shoulder like a bag of potatoes, ignoring her sexy protests.“You asshole, drop me this instant!” She screeched, pounding on his back furiously, but a loud swat vibrated in the room, I had just spanked her, and my lips stretched into a smile before looking at the area where her brother was being operated on.“What the heck did you just do?” She stuttered, glaring holes into my butt, I had to stop myself from laughing so hard because I know she would give me a tough time the moment I dropped her.“You left me with no choice, I had to at least do something to shut you up, I would have preferred a kiss but I am sure you will killMe if I do that, ” I shrugged, watching as she became mute all of a sudden, if I had known that that was the

/Penelope's POV/“Oh my, isn’t this the legendary self-taught hacker? She looks beaten though, but it makes her look more feral. I am contemplating on taking this one for myself.” He faced my brother directly asking him for a Favour.“Oh No, I don’t think I want to realease her yet, I have a personal beef with her also.” He replied him, Snake’s face fell immediately.“We both have the same mission, to ruin her right? I assume you just want to torture her and kill her, I have so many things I want to do her, making her husband watch all I am going to do to her is more fun, don't you think?” He asked my idiotic brother, he contemplated before giving a nod but holding his hands out to stop him.“So what the heck do you want to do? Please let's get the shit over with…” Hubter snarled at the both of them, Snake eyes flickered at his direction, but he stopped “Let us have the fun now. How would you like to punish him???? You can always suggest different ways, what I want to do now is start
Auctioned To My Betrothed Personal beef
/Penelope's POV/“Yeah, all thanks to Hunter. You would probably be dead or running errands for small bosses, but you are about to kill this person who helped you, oh please. Add ingrate to your public profile so people would know who are what you truly are.” I scoffed, waiting for his response, His nose flared at the disrespect, flashing his non-existent fangs at me, I rolled my eyes and flipped him off.“And guess who is here? The fun is about to start!” He informed me while looking out the window, my heart rate spiked up the moment I heard the engine of the van approaching, the devious grin on his face was what made me afraid because he truly looked like a predator now.“I would love to see a reunion before doing the dramatic entry, I know he would be very surprised,” He reasoned, packing up his kinds of stuff to exit, but I won't let him slide easily.“Surprised?! That is a fucking outrageous because I can count eight words that would describe what he would feel at that moment, Be
Auctioned To My Betrothed The anonymous companion
/Penelope’s POV/I jolted up immediately at the sudden ice water splashed on me, you would think I would have gotten used to it, I felt thousands of needles pricking my skin as the water dripped from me, and my teeth chattered in a way it had never done before, not even when it was snowing down crystals of ice cube.Flipping my finger hair to the side, the wet strands stuck on my face, but that didn’t stop me from glaring murderously at the culprit, he gave me a bored look as if he had just done one of the most normal things in the world, clenching my bound fist, I closed my eyes while thinking about what a day this has been, I concluded that it is always the bad days that have lingered hours.“I guess your mouth doesn’t work anymore, you just had to involve icy water, well that makes it better because I would prefer that to hear your disgusting voice.” I snarled at him, baring my teeth, but I bet I looked more funny than threatening with the wet strands that stuck to my body and the
Auctioned To My Betrothed The little argument
|Hunter’s POV|“Don’t forget that a single mistake would cause your wife to be dead in a few seconds, so travel alone, make sure there are no trackers on you.” The reply came in less than a minutes making my heart pound furiously.“How am I going to picked up? I thought you gave an order that you don’t want anyone tracking me, I am sorry but I won't be able to hold off my men from springing action at the abduction of their Don. My suggestion is I can give an order for them to remain in the mansion while I leave, I would go farther, so you can pick me up at the lake since I assume you know my house area so well, that should not be a difficult task for you.” I texted him back, not wanting my men to know what was really happening with us and our oplans since we had agreed to keep it silent.“I think there might be a problem, what if someone rats us out about the both of us meeting?” I vocalized, ignoring the thud and the blood rushing in my veins wildly.“Fuck. How did I not think of th
Auctioned To My Betrothed Revision of plans
|Hunter’s POV|“Who are these?” I questioned after seeing the three people that walked in, the two men echoed ‘Don’. My gaze narrowed at the nerdy lady that walked inside with a shy yet confident demeanour, I was expecting her to greet but she only gave a side eye as an acknowledgement, I pursed my lips while I looked at him, and his playful grin made me raise my eyebrows up in question, hoping it wasn’t what I am thinking because I won't hesitate to blow this head because he had the effrontery to bring in his whore while he had been flirting with my sister.“Who are you?” Bella asked the nerdy lady, her hardened gaze gave me chills, she looked up before removing her glasses and extending her hands towards Bella, her green eyes caught my attention, it was hard for me not to identify the similarities between her and snake, especially with her uncanny color of eyes.“Hi, I guess you are the woman I was told about, you are so pretty and it is nice to meet you, you have a very pretty eye
Auctioned To My Betrothed Dating Sites
|Snake’s POV|“I need to inform my mom to take my profile off those dating sites, I have seen my wife,” I answered the both of them looking at the way her cheek turned red immediately, I think my favourite thing in this world is riling her up, and it is so unfortunate that she doesn’t like me, although I am sure she would come to terms with that very soon when she realizes that she is my newest obsession and there is nothing that would stop me from possessing her. Not even herself.“Now I know that you are truly delusional, you think I will be your wife truly? Are you serious? You better leave your name on the sites who knows if you will meet someone who will be able to cope with your attitude and ugly face.” She scowled at him, baring her teeth but all he did was raise his head in question.“That is new, you are the first person to tell me that I have an ugly face, I have always known about having an ugly personality because that is what people talk about most before they talk about
