/Penelope’s POV/Two days passed in a blur, I’ve been spitting out the antidepressants, I will deal with my shit myself not with the help of drugs, I was given a phone yesterday, I know I should be generous and be free to do whatever I want with it but I’m very sure the activities on the phone are being monitored by that jerk.“Knock knock.” I heard a bang on my door, I looked at the large black wall clock that stood opposite the bed, it was just 2:00 pm, I didn’t think it was time for the ball yet.“Who is there?” I called out while putting on my robe on the silky nightwear. I opened the door to about four ladies lined up and dressed in a uniform making me slam the door back, but a black pointed heels stood in between the door and the doorframe.“I’m sure you have the wrong room. Go further, there are rooms there with occupants on this floor.” I chuckled nervously, wanting nothing more than to send these people away.“Hi Miss Penelope, we don’t have the wrong room, we were instructe
/Hunter's POV/“Raise your gown.” I strapped the knife to her thigh trying my possible best not to look at how creamy her flesh was, the temptation to trace my fingers to her cunt was overwhelming but I had to resist it, and snap out of it. “What is it for?” Her smooth voice muttered sending a jolt of electricity to my hardness.“To protect yourself if the need arise dumbass. Don't use it for no reasonable reason, anybody you meet there would not hesitate to blow off your brains if you misbehave so you should be on your best behaviour. Although I will be with you all through.” I assured her, and that did the trick because her racing heart came to a stop.“Maybe this is our chance to stab him with it, and freedom here we come.” My subconscious pointed out what she might think of.“Don't cook up any funny idea in your head, if you think you can stab me and get away with it, you're wrong. What's that little boy's name? Aaron right?” I raised my eyebrow at her, knowing perfectly well tha
/Penelope's POV/“What a beautiful woman you have in your arms.” a husky voice complimented and I whipped my head to look at him while Hunter stepped in front of me, to prevent me from looking at him or to prevent him from looking at me.I slightly moved to the side to get a glimpse of who this man was, I saw a creeping tattoo of a scorpion on his neck, a towering figure with a commanding presence. Standing at 6'4" tall, his muscular frame is a testament to years of disciplined training. His broad shoulders and chiselled physique exude power and intimidation, but he did not look as good as Hunter's.His piercing blue eyes, like ice in a winter storm, hold an intensity that can send shivers down anyone's spine. His jet-black hair, slicked back with precision, adds to his aura of sophistication and danger. A well-groomed beard frames his strong jawline, giving him a rugged yet refined look.“Xavier Brecks. Loved my presents?” Hunter replied while pushing me to his side and putting a pos
/Hunter’s POV/“Nothing will happen, I'm here, nothing would happen to you under my watch,” I promised while rubbing my back soothingly, I knew my display of affection towards her at this ball would make a lot of people go after her, apart from the ones she has made with her very sharp mouth-“Why the Fu-” I yelled while glaring at Penelope that suddenly pushed me, her strength and the moment of ignorance from my side gave her the upper hand to get me out of her way, but I paused when I saw the crimson liquid gushing out of her shoulder, all hell broke loose, I looked at the fucking hit man that was trying to get away but not being blowing off his brains, the crowd broke into action when they see his body fell from the top of where he made that shot.“Penelope, open your fucking eyes. I swear if you die on me, I will go gun blazing on every member of your family, ” I threatened while shaking her and yanking my jacket off to stop the bleeding.“ Move out of the fucking way and get your
/Penelope's POV/“Beep Beep Beep,” The annoying sound of the alarm filtered into my ears making me groan and try to turn my ears away from the sound.“Turn that shit off,” I mumbled.“I knew you have a death wish, but luckily I won't be granting it.” A Husky familiar voice replied.As I slowly opened my eyes, the sterile white walls of the hospital room came into focus. The throbbing pain in my chest reminded me of what had happened. I had taken a bullet meant for that Demon, I don't know what pushed me to step in front of the bullet for him.“Maybe you wanted to end your life quickly,” My subconscious nagged.“Oh maybe you wanted to die for him so bad, and prevent him from taking the bullet,” my body objected making me groan.“Are you okay? Are you feeling pains somewhere??” The man I recognized as Jordan questioned while touching my neck, to feel my pulse.“I think I'm fine, what happened?” I croaked out knowing fully well about what happened but thinking that if I played innocent,
/Penelope's POV/“You are the one who got a therapist not me.” he chuckled.“What???” my jaw dropped, while I glared at him but as usual, he has this hint of annoyance in his eyes but it's mixed with an underlying feeling of amusement.“Yeah, you've been acting extremely crazy and you're inconsiderate of the people that are worried about you, Maria freaked out when she heard that you threw yourself in front of a bullet, so everyone thinks you're so depressed and you need to see a therapist, because this is not the first time you acting that way, and I noticed you haven't been taking your antidepressants, why is that?” He fixed his gaze on me.“No reason, I'll see the therapist, you informing me now means she's outside, you can tell her to please come in.” I smiled weakly.He walked outside but not before trying to figure out what I was thinking, or if I was comfortable with his decision, I must at myself that I had a suicide mission judging from the way I talked to Hunter, although to
/Hunter's POV/“Be careful of what you wish kitten, I am not gentle in any way,” I informed and stalked in her direction with a predatory move, I felt her heartbeat spike up, partially in fear but the glint in her honey-filled orbs could only mean she was excited for whatever she wants to happen.“I know it's not in your nature, considering the way you threatened me on the first day we met,” She retorted, a smirk took over my features because she did not know what I was capable of.“Since that is known, I hope you are not expecting thousands of roses and candles. Because that's not something I can do.” I looked at her, and the only thing I could point out was the fact that a switch had suddenly gone off in her head, or maybe she was dealing with a concussion.“If I was dealing with a normal situation I would have expected, it didn't happen the first time, it sure as hell not going to happen now, or what do you think?” She countered taking me back, I couldn't even detect if she pretend
/Hunter's POV/It was 8:00 am and I was widely awake and pacing in the room, not as if I got enough hours of sleep, but I could not sleep and I felt the need to start training Penelope, I know at this point that she would not run away because she has no one to run to after threatening her father to cut her off which he did.I walked into the bathroom after deciding that I would start the training session with that curly red-haired demon, I want her to be able to protect herself to some extent and the only way I can do that is by being extremely hard on her, although that is not the problem since I specialize in being a jerk.Today will be a very long day trying to control the urge to bend her over and fuck her, I've seen a lot of bodies but I can't get used to her accentuated hips and tiny waist with her breast that wiggled whenever she moves.“Ahhh” I groaned out trying my best not to jerk myself off again, I have not been able to have sex with anyone since I've seen her, she is all
|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
|Author's POV|“How is he doing? Is he stable now?”Penelope is anxiously waiting in the hospital, her heart pounding with worry. The doctor, with a gentle smile, walks into the room and sits down next to her. They take a deep breath and begin to explain."Penelope, I have some incredible news to share with you. Hunter narrowly escaped a gunshot that came dangerously close to piercing his heart. It was a truly close call, but thanks to the skill and expertise of our medical team, he is going to be okay." The doctor she had come to recognize gave her a warm smile.The doctor goes on to explain how the bullet grazed Hunter's chest, causing a superficial wound but miraculously missing any vital organs. He describes the meticulous surgery that was performed to remove any fragments and ensure his safety.As the doctor speaks, Penelope's worry begins to fade, replaced by relief and gratitude. She can't help but feel a surge of emotions, from shock and fear to overwhelming joy that Hunter wil
/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
/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
/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
|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
|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
|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
