/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,
/Penelope’s POV/“Oh, I have news about your offspring,” He informed before walking out, the three of us looked out ourselves before echoing the same word.“Oh my gosh, why are you both just telling me about this now??? To top it all, you’re having twins? I’m gonna be a grandmother!!! I can't believe it! Latest grandmother!” A screech resounded from the older version of Bella, her feet paddling happily across the hallway, jumping in excitement.“Because of this same reaction, when will you be moving your things here? Because I know it will be very soon,” Hunter mocked a similar smile to his happily displayed on his face, my face reddened in embarrassment, while I tried my best not to freak out at how she was smouldering my face with kisses.“Are you sure we did not make any mistake in telling her soon? What’s the possibility that she would have killed us if we informed her after the delivery?” Bella suggested, looking at her brother with a scowl on his face, we were supposed to make i
/Penelope’s POV/“Yeah, I think I have some games, but it’s a surprise. Don’t stand up, you should just sit down, I will take care of you, you should not be lifting your fingers, ” My mother-in-law encouraged.“I wish I wouldn't have to lift my fingers, would it be okay to go through a c-section instead of pushing these babies out of me? After collecting a push present from you?” I croaked out, wiping the beads of sweat coating my forehead despite the air condition blasting at its highest level in the labour room.“You can do whatever you want to do, should I tell the doctors to perform a c-section instead? Pen you need to talk to me, let me know what you are thinking, it is not a crime if you go through with a c-section,” Hunter’s worried face loomed over mine, ignoring the joke that was hidden in my statement.“If I don't know you so well, I will just assume that you're choosing the c-section so you ensure that my vagina will remain tight, or do you have another intention?” I joked,
/Penelope’s POV/“I am sure we won't be looking underneath my trousers because I am straight, and even if I'm gay, I don't like guys like you. But I may have iron balls,” He shrugged, paging someone on his phone and switching to his professional mode after glancing at me.“It's time, let's take her to the theatre.” He declared.“Can I see them? They are so beautiful. They look like their father I guess.” I rasped, dizziness clouding my features while my eyes fought to stay awake, my bone was exhausted at this point, I looked at my husband and smiled weakly at him.“Yeah, sure. You can see them, after all, you’re their mama. On the contrary, I think they look like you.” Hunter chuckled, handing over the piece of joy wrapped in a blue blanket.“He came out first, right? I don’t think he looks like him, look at his tightened lips and furrowed eyebrows, I wonder what is going through his little mind, he should have nothing to think about, and yet he looks like the burden of the whole coun
\Penelope’s POV\“Fuck, we are under attack, they are quite a number but we still have like five minutes to regroup.” Bella’s panicked voice alerted us all. I looked at my husband and the only visible reaction I could point out was his tickled jaw and pure annoyance.“This is not the right time,.we should not be welcoming new babies with gunshots and blood shed, but if it is what they want, that is what they will get. They should not have woken the sleeping lion” The former Don of the demon Mafia growled, standing up to his full height. All traces of his previous smile vanished into thin air while he put up a cold demeanour, his face was the perfect example of the calm before storm.“The real question is do we have time to call for back or should we face them head on and wait for back up to join us?” Bella questioned looking at my husband who was looking too calm for this situation.“ I just sent Liam a text about what is happening, Big Drive and Gabriel are outside. Mama, you have s
|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
