/Penelope's POV/

“Drop that research, you’re digging up what is supposed to remain buried,” The person warned sternly, I wished I could stylishly turn my back, and look at who was talking to me, but I wasn't able to do so though, in fear of being hurt by this certain someone who seems to be invincible by everyone in the room.

“Okay, I will drop the research,” I promised with a trembling voice, trying to control myself from entering shock, all I wanted was for the heat that was radiating from my backside to disappear, he was choking my existence with his presence, his breath sends a wave of terror to my body.

“You can pick up the research, with the agreement that you share the information you get from it with me, I'm also interested in the information,” He informed, I tried to turn my neck so I could get a pic of this face tormenting me, but the stillness of his breathing got me recoiling, the devilish and daring part of me flared up before I could reign it in.

    /Hunter's POV/“I hope you're enjoying your stay here, I've missed you. I wanted you to come to the vacation but you couldn't, that girl is changing you, you would never deny a vacation before.” Jezebel whined, I looked at her focusing my gaze on Penelope to see that she was gone.“Where the hell did she go to again?” I growled to myself, my grey orbs dilating and diverting every nook and cranny to search die a certain redhead.“What the hell are you doing clinging to some blondie bitch while your wife was almost killed, are you really okay or your head has been shoved in some pussy?” Bella growled stepping closer to me and glaring at the hand that was joined with mine.“What are you trying to say? Who tried to kill my wife? Where the hell is she?” I growled my head spinning dangerously, I dropped Jezebel's hands like as if she burnt me, I looked at myself with disgust, not even knowing how to face Olivia now, I don't know why I'd been behaving like an asshole, to be honest, I didn't

    /Penelope's POV/“Sweetheart, I also used to have eye issues, but thanks to my optician, I can now see even the littlest things like a silver band on someone's fourth finger. Can you see it? I guess we should lend you one of my bodyguard spare glasses since I am feeling so generous.” She continued, and an echo of gasps could be heard in the now silent Hall, I stifled my laugh as I saw Jezebel's fuming face.“I told you tonight would be one hell of a night, I'm so glad you put that bitch in her place, she annoys the fuck out of me every single time, she once tried to cling at me, one Glare from Gabriel got her running away like a coward.” Big Drive chuckled, I looked at Gabriel who gave an indifferent shrug.“He looked at me like he needed my help, and I would be a bad brother if I did not offer it to him, or wouldn't I ?” He looked at me through the rear glass, an idea came to my mind, there was a huge possibility that she didn't know that they were twins so she might probably think t

What am I supposed to do?“Nope, you can't abort it, I know we were not expecting any baby, but now that it's here, there is no way I'm letting you get rid of our child.” Hunter disagreed, snatching the test results from my hands.“You know what, I still don't believe it's true. Let me try another one, maybe it would give us another result, you know they say this Urine test is not always correct, ” I suggested taking another one and moving to the bathroom, Hunter’s larger hand stopped mine.“Olivia stop it, you have used five and they all came out pos

Is there anything you want to talk to me about?” I asked, fear creeping into my body, I looked at his stone-cold face.“I have arranged your passports, you need to leave,” he informed me.“Leave to where? Is this a prank? Are you being serious? Leave to where? Don't shut me out. Please talk to me, let me know what's happening.” I pleaded, wondering what was happening with him.“I'm not playing pranks with you, I know I have been holding you against your wish, I know you have done a lot of things and this is my chance to let you go.” He reminded.“Did I tell you

You have wronged her again? How many times will you keep fucking up? Do you think she would continue being generous till you ruin her life, you can't keep on messing up and apologizing,” Bella chastised, I held my mouth, not knowing what to tell her, I was afraid of the worst happening to her, did she jump inside the lake or what?“I don't know what came over me, I was pondering on how lucky I am to have such a sweet and caring soul attached to mine despite my wrongdoings and all when, the thought of her being cooped up and suffocated became overwhelming, it was as if I was told to let her go,” I explained, knowing the explanation is shitty but I thought she wasn't happy by my side.“Have you ever tried listening to yourself?

    |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

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????

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?!

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.

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
