|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

  • Auctioned To My Betrothed    Hi Dear Bethrothed.

    |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

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

We have to work with a piece of accurate information, we don’t want to risk framing the wrong per

    |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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
