|Penelope’s POV|“He gave me hints when these guys wanted to kill me, so it's sure that he is on my side. He had different information and time alone to kill me, but he never did, so I should be rest assured.” I mumbled, pacing around the house, I don’t know if that was right but we did not know the opponent we were dealing with, and I thought this supposed guy was the son of whoever X was.“Should I call them, are they not supposed to inform us that they are done, if they were done? Mama, what do you say we do? Do we just wait here for them?” I questioned, looking at my mother-in-law, I could see the turmoil going on in her head as she tried to come up with a piece of valid information about why we haven't been updated yet.“They should be done with the mission now, maybe they got carried away with beating that piece of shit into a pulp. So I suggest we beep them as they don’t know they kept two women in suspense.” She permitted, walking around the baby cribs to keep herself busy, I
|Penelope’s POV|“Wait, so you mean this X guy, used to be your father’s second in command? What the fuck is his motive for doing that? Selling babies into occult clubs that will drain their blood off them while they are alive? My subconscious is telling me to ask him if that is all he is involved in because it doesn’t look like that is the whole of X.” I contributed absentmindedly, the moment I could feel eight pairs of orbs looking at me, I looked up, remembering what my contribution was.“I can't even answer the reason or whatever motive he has to commit such a grave crime, I would have suggested handing him over to the federal government but I don’t want to risk him getting out of the place because I have a feeling that one of them or most of them would be part of the occult club they are selling babes to. I know Mafia men are vile and evil, but trust me the government also play a major part in the crime community, the only difference is they hide under shadows to do their mission
|Penelope’s POV|“Wait, have you figured out what is wrong with Liam, and why he has been acting so weird?” I asked my husband, munching on the chips he prepared, I don’t even think munching is the right statement to use, I think the best should be devouring since my kids feel like it is nice to drain the life out of me through feeding from me.“I still have not figured out what is going on with him, you know we have a lot of things on our plate, from trying to eliminate X to giving birth to our beautiful babies, to Bella’s abduction and all. So I haven't been able to figure out what is going on in my Mafia, I also know there are rats present with us, but there is nothing to do about it for now, I am waiting for the perfect time to strike when I can catch them red handed, because that would be the best, although I can always resort to violence I am giving them a benefit of doubt so they can at least try to justify their actions and don’t give me that look, I am not going soft, I just
|Hunter’s POV|“Why am I feeling this way, I am having a nagging feeling about something but I can't place it,” I mumbled to myself, smoothing the invincible creases on my shirt, I stood up while picking up my phone from the black mahogany desk, it will be a grave sin to say I am not missing my wife as the secretary of my office, the momentary sex we would have whenever she was angry or horny is something I can forever live for, I wouldn’t say no if she decides to resume back to work, but I know it won't be in her to-do list for now and it is understandable that she won't be able to leave the kids to fend for themselves.“Hey wifey, how are you doing? Hope the kids are not stressing you out. How is your day going?” A grin crept on my face at the use of something so endearing to someone very dear to me, and the fact that I didn’t cringe while saying it made me realize that she was worth the title, a sigh escaped her lips from the other side of the phone making worry creep up my spine.
|Penelope’s POV|“Hi Mr Niklaus, or should I say, Dear Betrothed, how was your day? We have a lot of explanation and discussion to do.” I stated calmly, my facial expression as calm as a brewing storm, I looked at my husband flabbergasted like a rat caught under a headlight, he was shivering while his lips quivered but he could not form a coherent speech, and his eyes flickered at the file I was hiding, upon seeing that, his eyes closed while he mumbled an audible ‘fuck’.“Oh, now that is confirmed that you haven't lost your voice and that you can very much speak, so start before I lose my shit, I have seen all the things written there but I would still like to hear from your point of view so I can conclude that the contract was fabricated, I don’t want to believe that you instigated this whole thing because I have a load of fortune attached to my name.” I croaked out, barely recognizing my voice, I blinked my eyelid rapidly, trying to push back the river bank that was brewing in my e
|Hunter’s POV|“The suspense is killing me Bella, I don’t know what her decision is, she is not even yelling at me and that is a bad omen, I prefer it when she yells at me, at least I get to know that I don’t have to watch my back while I am sleeping, I have a feeling that she might probably strangle me in my sleep,” I whined, stomping my foot on the floor like a kid whose candy was snatched, but I don’t give two fucks right now because I think I have been demoted from a husband to a housemate.“Ouch, that doesn’t really look good though, and I have nothing to say, you should have told her earlier or probably destroyed the evidence.” She scolded, clenching my teeth together while thinking of what I could probably do to get her to yell at me.“So, in other words, you have got no valuable advice for me? Then get the hell out of here and stop scolding me, let me call other sensible people for advice, I could use Big Drive and Gabriel in this situation. Thanks for all the kind words you
|Penelope’s POV|“I think we’ve had enough of this, it is very painful and sad to find out but the deed has been done, and it can’t be undone, the only solution is to move on from this, I forgive you. As for the fortune or inheritance attached to my name, we can always give it to children, right?” I gritted out, clenching my teeth but I know we have tried, I see then hesitation and protest whenever I go into the nursery to sleep, but he had no choice and no control over what happened.“Are you serious? So you mean I do not necessarily have to sleep without not watching my back thinking you would strangle me in my sleep or blow out my brains while I am sleeping? Oh, does that mean we get to cuddle?” He asked, his eyes lit up like a kid who was given a new toy, bouncing his knees in anticipation, the joy radiating all over his face could be detected even by a blind man.“How did I not come up with this earlier, I could have done those two and put myself out of the misery of thinking ab
|Penelope’s POV|“Who is this?” I gritted my teeth while looking at the strange number calling for the third time after endless search for my baby and not seeing her yet, Hunter already left to check the cameras, leaving me with a gun in case I need one.“Oh, you will find out dear, if you want your child alive, without the knowledge of your husband as we don’t want any complications, so do well to make sure you don’t tell him anything, I will know the moment you say a word to me, and once you do that, the next message you will get will have an image attachment of your child’s corpse, and by the way, I don’t make empty threats. I would advise you to take my words carefully.” An automated voice from the other side of the phone instructed, I could hear the faint sound of a baby’s cries that were undoubtedly mine.“Okay, where should I meet up with you? I won't tell my husband but you need to assure me that you would deliver the child back here, or we make a bargain, I bring my child ba
