/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/“I need to tell you something, I know about the per” A loud bang echoed in the hospital, my heart spiralling out of control in my ribcage, I looked at the lifeless body sprawled on the floor, with my hands in my racing heart.Finding the hitman who shot the guy who was about the spill a piece of unknown information has been quite the task, it made me realize that the person in charge of the sniper could kill Hunter, but he didn't, I realized that nowhere is safe enough, because even the surveillance camera was wiped off before Big Drive could think of getting the hit man’s face, the irritation I felt when they were moving the corpse was nothing to write home about.“Fuck, I should have been on the watch, I should not have been sleeping, what if the shot was meant for you, or worse directed at you? You could have been in the boy's place. I would have killed myself honestly because even if Hunter won't kill me, he will never be the same again, he will always resent me,
/Penelope's POV/After discovering that someone was shot while he was on his bed, in a coma state, Hunter was fucking pissed at whoever it was that carried out that mission, he was worried that If I was the one shot, he kept on blaming himself, claiming how he would never forget and how he will walk through the distraction part and with his gun and knives.“What have you been up to? I heard you are into hacking now, you took the law into your own hands to find out who carried out the attack, as much as I like the fact that you're caring and bold, hacking is not a small job and it's a dirty one, you don't want to know how bad they get threatened often,” He whispered into my ears, his body heat warming into mine from the back, his nose nuzzling in my happy spot, it would be a very big lie on my part if I said I didn't feel complete with him.“I had no choice, so you can't blame me. I don't know who and what to trust, it was as if Liam started behaving like a possessed person because he
/Penelope’s POV/“Now, my first advice as your Mafia consigliere is to propose an alliance with Scorpion,” I informed, he whipped his head towards me like I just spat nonsense, his stormy grey orbs sending invincible arrows to me, his face softened when he realized that I wasn't backing down, nor was I playing.“An alliance? Why is that? You know your change in mood surprises the fuck out of me, I wonder what is going on in that your head, spill.” He permitted, his grey eyes shining, the admiration swimming in his orbs could not be missed, I ducked trying to think of a car crash instead of the hot specimen looking at me like I was his favourite snack.“You know, my dad used to say something, he says the only way you can curb a thief or stop him from stealing your stuff is if you put it under his charge. In the sense that he knows that he's responsible for anything that happens to your stuff. If there are other thieves, trust him to guard your stiff with his life because he would not w
/Penelope's POV/“Consigliere Pen,” Big Drive mimicked, his pink organ sticking out of his mouth, while he flapped his eyes like a bird wing, I growled, now I think I didn't think of this before going because this certain person would not stop teasing me, it's been two weeks and it seems that is the only thing he can remember right now.“Do you not have other things to do? You know hit the gym or something, but stay away from me because the only thing I can think of doing is bang your head on the wall,” I growled but that came out like a help cry from a dying horse.“Nope, I don't have other things to do. You've been acting grumpy and moody nowadays, are you sure you don't have a little jelly growing in you already,” He suggested, his eyes narrowing into slits, but that is not it. My stomach has been churning for days at the thought of attending a mafia ball. The remembrance of the last mafia ball we attended filtered into my head, but I pushed away the thought, I am more experienced
/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.“And what would I get
/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
