/Hunter's POV/“Bella, I have fucked up again,” I called my sister, knowing she is the only one who can save me after hearing Big Drive complaints about a strange number calling him to come and pick up Penelope's car.“What did you do again? 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? Did she complain to yo
/Penelope's POV/I stepped out of the house on a sunny morning wanting to go get some groceries, expecting just another ordinary day. But to my surprise, I found the entire front yard filled with an enchanting sight - thousands of vibrant red roses, arranged in a breathtaking display.As I took in the breathtaking scene, I noticed a beautifully handwritten apology letter attached to one of the roses. “Ew, he doesn't even have fine writing, how am I expected to see this??” I scoffed looking at his scrawny writing which I badly wished looked like his face, maybe I would have given in to death instead of marrying him.The letter, penned by a certain someone, expresses his deepest regrets and remorse for the argument they had. The words on the page are filled with love, sincerity, and a genuine desire to make things right.In the letter, my husband acknowledged his mistakes and took full responsibility for his actions. He explained how much I meant to him and how deeply sorry he was for a
/Penelope's POV/* Two months later*“Sweetheart, I will be going on a trip, I would not mind taking you along with me but I just need to check out how things are going and there is going to be a grand opening of my hotel in another state,” Hunter whispered into my ears, rubbing my tiny bump.“How many days trip will it be? I wish u could go with you badly, but dealing with jetlag and pregnancy symptoms is not a good combination for me right now,” I admitted, pouting and thinking of how lonely the house was going to be, how I was going to sleep was another problem of its own because I've gotten so used to cuddling him at night since I got back from my trip to the secret manor, up until today, I did not tell him what the house looks like and what it is used for, I kind of have my suspicions that Big Drive knows about it but he hasn't said anything so far.“It is a three-day trip, I can come earlier if it's possible for me, the only thing I would enjoy doing to sleeping with you in my
/Penelope’s POV/“I should be asking who you are instead,” She retorted while I folded my hands, this was going to be a showdown.“Interesting, pass me that popcorn,” Bella mumbled, I tuned her out looking at the blonde putting on a tight gown that restricted her airflow, she looked like a choked baby doll, with her clownish makeup.“Wait, I should not even be asking if you're okay because you're not. You look like you won't be able to breathe in a few minutes, should I offer you an oxygen mask? Or did my husband hire you for some kind of cosplay I don't know about? Big Drive, what does she do for a living?” I questioned, my eyes fixated on hers, her eyes lit up, and I could see the invisible smoke coming out of her nose, too bad I don't give a damn about her.“Do you know who you're talking to?” She fumed, taking a step towards the car, I looked at her again, rolling my eyes and pursing my lips, in my next life, I would rather not marry an eye candy, fighting daily because of a man i
/Hunter’s POV/“Hi wifey, how are you doing? Sorry, I could not call earlier, things got a little overbearing and busy here, so had to sort things out before settling down, I'm just getting to the penthouse,” I sighed, walking around the familiar room, my eyes drifted to the glass windows, this city is beautiful when it's viewed from the place, that's one of the main reasons why I love this penthouse. “Oh really, I had a long day yesterday, I was even too tired to wait up for your call, it's been a rollercoaster all through yesterday, from trying to pretend that Bella and I are just normal humans to meeting an obsessed crazy ex-girlfriend of yours.” She sighed, and tiredness seeped into her tone effortlessly, all I could just think about was massaging the stress out of her while I listened to her daily activities.“Crazy ex-girlfriend? That's funny because I don't even remember having a girlfriend before you came along, I don't do relationships, I only do flings with no strings attac
/Penelope’s POV/“Stop that research, or your husband will die, X.” My phone vibrated on the table, and I looked at the strange number while reading it out, oops, he now has the ball to message me.“Fuck, this text was sent from a burner phone, he will know better than to text me with a normal phone,” I concluded, before pulling my laptop out, trying is better than not doing anything, I looked at the number while my fingers flexed on the keys, but to no avail.“What are you stressing yourself on? You look like you will pass out soon, in a better way to put it, you look like shit.” Bella commented, I raised my eyes from the laptop, I could picture my face right now, frustration clouding my face, I managed to slip a tired smile to my face before replying to her.“Isn’t that a beautiful comment from my dear sister-in-law? Thank you very much, you’re the best in the world.” I replied, sarcasm dripping in my tone, the bed dipped as a whip of mahogany strands hit me in the face, and my eyes
/Hunter's POV/“Hunter, you need to take the nearest flight, it's urgent!”Bella's panicked voice filtered into my ears, and the sound of keys hitting the floor resounded in the room, what the heck?! My heartbeat accelerated, it was as if my heart was going to beat out of the ribcage, my blood rushing wildly in my veins, my lips quivering but no coherent speech was formed, I snapped myself out of the shock, storming back to reality.“What happened? Is she in labour already?” I asked, my fingers typing away on the keyboard, a message to my pilot to get the plane ready in ten minutes, putting the phone on speaker, I got to work, packing my loads and dumping everything in the briefcase, anticipating the urge to get the fuck out of here.“Nope dummy, she is not in labour, she fell down the stairs while we were running, I didn't mean to cause her harm, I begged her to stop but she didn't, she's being checked as we speak, although the doctor said she's not in a critical condition, but he sti
/Penelope's POV/“It's good to see that you're awake, how are you feeling today, are you in any kind of pain?” A voice sounded indistinctive, I tried to adjust myself to the voice, I forced myself to open my eyes, I was met with the blurry face of the familiar figure in a white lab coat, his black-framed glasses resting on his nose, I blinked rapidly, a sigh escaped my lip.“You can do it, just open those honey Brown eyes for me, take a deep breath and open your eyes, you're good to go,” another familiar voice encouraged, my dopamine level increased a thousand times, it was as if a strong pull snatched me out of what I was feeling because my eyes opened immediately, staring back at six pairs of eyes.“Hello dear, I am sure you recognize me, I've introduced myself a million times to you. How are you doing today?” The new HD version of the blurry face I was with a pair of glasses resting on his face questioned, giving me one of his infamous smirks.“I- am” A voice resounded in the room,
