I walked out of The Ritz and into the lashing rain, with the feeling of dread for what was about to come. Mason Knight was never one to make my life easy, today was no different.
He turned on the sidewalk and looked at me. I was surprised that he didn't wait under shelter like any normal human being. No, he was stood with the rain pouring down on him, drenched with a pissed off expression on his face."You took your time."
Ten minutes tops, but I'm sure it felt like forever for him. I know how impatient he can be. He doesn't like waiting around on anyone, that's what the expression is for. That and the guy he seen me kissing.
"Sorry.."I apologised, I don't know why. Mason didn't deserve an apology, not that I was even sorry anyway."So you said that you wanted to talk?"
Make it quick, I thought!
"Yeah!"He r

Penelope CHAPTER 13: A LOT OF MEN IN MY LIFE!
JAMIEEthan and I walked through the lobby of The Ritz after a quick lunch and a catch up before we both headed back to work. With Carmens wedding only two weeks away, we had our own planning to do.Ethan isn't going to Carmens bachelorette party so it's just us girls. He's going to Brent's instead, even though he isn't keen on the idea. He doesn't particularly like Brent, but he can't say as much to Carmen. I'm sure she'd pretty much disown us.I guess we can't really blame her for that. I don't think I'd be happy either, if my best friends didn't like the man in my life. As hard as it might be sometimes, we need to get along with Brent for this to work."Are you sure you don't mind?"Ethan asked.
Penelope CHAPTER 14: THE DATE.
JAMIEI was sat across the dinner table from Jack at a cute little restaurant. We were midway through our main course and I was feeling thankfully that there has been no shortage of conversation between us so far."I didn't know that you were a vegetarian, Jamie. I'm impressed.. Honestly. I don't suppose you eat fish, Do you?""Not since I was younger. Some vegetarians eat fish, I choose not to. I don't miss meat really.. I mean except for when I was p..."I stopped myself before saying anymore. Of course that got a look from Jack."Except for when you were what?"He asked.I didn't tell him about Penelope. I don't really know why I didn't, perhaps it's because telling Jack about my daughter means that I have to tell him about Mason. I w
Penelope CHAPTER 15:SHE MOVED ON.. I SHOULD TOO!!
MASONI pulled my phone from my pocket and looked at the screen. Still no reply! She didn't even bother to return my call. Does she really think she can just ignore me, especially when I'm staying at the hotel she fucking works in.I walked into the hotel with no intention of going straight to my suite. I wanted to talk to her — and I was going to try to be nice about it since I was planning on asking her for a favour.She wasn't at the reception desk, a blonde woman was. It was a little after lunch, so I expect she would still be here. The blonde woman smiled as I got closer."Hi Mr Knight, what can I do for you?""I'm looking for Jamie. Can you tell me where she is?"I asked, nicely in fact. The door to the back office was open slightly and I couldn't see her inside. That's usually where she is.
Penelope CHAPTER 16: I’M THE BEST YOU'VE EVER HAD
JAMIEI tied some pink and white balloons from the tree in my back garden. There was an array of round white tables with four chairs across my lawn, and on top they were decorated perfectly with pink and white roses.I got down from the ladder and looked around my garden with a smile. A balloon arch we had placed around the double back door to my garden first thing this morning, the doors were open and I could smell my Moms cooking. She's been here since the early hours cooking up a storm.Carmen was here to help out, or so she says. She's spent more time hugging and kissing Penelope than anything else, not that I minded. I loved that she loved my daughter so much. She's so good with her. I'm sure she will make a good mother.. someday!I turn
Penelope CHAPTER 17:ABOUT JACK
JAMIEHe held my hand as we walked into the club. With drunk people dancing around us I was definitely feeling out of my comfort zone. It's been awhile since I've been in a nightclub, it just wasn't my scene anymore. Jack seemed happy that we were here though, this was all his idea."Are you excited to meet my friends?"He asked. He seemed excited about it, but for me I was just feeling nervous."Sure, I can't wait!""There they are.."He was leading the way through the crowd towards the people sitting at the high table.Jack met my family and so he thought it seemed fitting that I meet his friends. I was nervous about meeting a group of new people, especially since I wasn't sure if we were there yet in our relationship. Things seem to b
Penelope CHAPTER 18: I WANT HER.. AND ONLY HER!
MASONThe Mercer deal was falling through just like I knew it would, which meant that I was left to pick up the pieces. This is the type of shit that happens when I leave someone else in charge of business. They fuck it up!! If I have to take a flight to fucking Chicago, I'm going to make sure that Eoin is coming too.I father didn't show Eoin the ropes when it came to business, at least not well enough in my book. I'll show him what it takes to run this company.. to run my company.I knocked on his door and waited impatiently. It was early on a Saturday morning, a day off for us both, but if I have to drag him out of his bed I will.The door opened and he looked surprised to see me."Mason.. What's up?""The Mercer deal is falling through.."He opened the door wider and
Penelope CHAPTER 19:NOT THE PICTURE-PERFECT GUY!!
JAMIEI pulled my car up into my parent's driveway after getting off the phone with my mom just ten minutes previous. They wanted to talk with me, what about I don't know yet, but here I am with Carmen and Penelope. We have a girlie day of shopping planned after this.I grabbed a sleepy Penelope from her car seat and the three of us went inside. My parent's home was always bright and airy, windows open and fresh flowers on display ALWAYS! Sometimes I miss my days of living at home, the easy life, that is until I remember how my Dad was always on my case about the whole dating thing.NO BOYS IN THIS HOUSE!!YOU'RE NOT WEARING THAT THING IN PUBLIC!
Penelope CHAPTER 20: LIAR, LIAR!
JAMIEI was stood in my living room watching out my front window for his car. It was a quarter past three and Jack was supposed to be here any minute. I needed to have this conversation with him, not in public but alone.It's hard for me to believe that I've made this mistake with a man once again. I put too much trust in him too quick. I let him into my life — into my daughter's life! How could I be so stupid!I regret that now! I regret a lot of things!Perhaps I should've remained single. Maybe I'm supposed to be alone — maybe I'm supposed to end up being that old lady with the 50 cats and no husband.I thought Jack was a good guy, but in the end, he was the worst of the worst. I found it hard to trust before and he fooled me — I can't do that again.

Penelope CHAPTER 35:THE TRAGIC END
JAMIEOh my God, I could just die. Was what I thought when I looked at myself in the mirror. I was rocking a red dress that was a little below the knee and trying my best to contain my exciting emotions.Dinner with Mason.I was excited about tonight, I was excited about seeing him after our few days apart. Those days felt like forever. A part of me was really worried about how this dinner will go. We didn't exactly leave things off on a good note when he left so I still don't know where we stand."That dress looks stunning on you. Red is so your colour."Sara grinned."I think you should accessorise with gold. Those two work really well together.""Let's move onto shoes next then."I turned and looked in the mirror again. I hope he likes
Penelope CHAPTER 34: THE LUMP
JAMIE"Mom-Mom!"I called out as I walked through her hallway towards the kitchen. I heard nothing back. Usually, I would hear the clattering of plates as she put them away in the cupboard or her singing along with the radio so loud she wouldn't hear me.Where is she?I walked into the kitchen and no one was in sight, which was very unusual for the Harris household. I walked further towards the kitchen island and pulled out my phone to call her.My Mom's car is parked out front, she wouldn't usually go out without her car because her knees get sore if she walks a long distance. She wouldn't be with my father, he's in work at this hour.Her phone rang aloud and the tiny hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I instantly had a bad feeling, you know when you can just sense that something
Penelope CHAPTER 33: WITH OR WITHOUT HIS BLESSING
MASONWas this it for us?I was sitting behind my desk for what felt like a lifetime, my body was aching from sitting in the same position for hours on end. I haven't left my office since midday. My laptop screen was in front of me, I was trying to work but I couldn't. All I could think about was her.Her hair, her lusciously plump lips, her eyes so big and brown. With or without clothes she was perfect either way.Two nights out of her bed and I'm fucking sleep deprived. Usually, Jamie would rest with her head on my chest and the majority of the time that's the way it would stay until the sun rose. Now I sleep alone and I don't like it.I threw my pen down on my desk and reclined back in my chair. My head is fucked. I can't do anythin
Penelope CHAPTER 32:THE COMPROMISE
JAMIESid and Barb had renewed their wedding vows in a rustic style ceremony and now the party was in full swing. The band was playing sweet music on the stage, while couples danced on the lit up dance floor in front of it.The garden was lit up with fairy lights above us and amongst the trees and tables of 6 were scattered to the sides of the dance floor for those who wanted to sit and chat.It was late evening now and the sun was beginning to set, bringing an end to the perfect day that Barb and Sid had been planning for months. All this effort that they put into this special day and it goes by so quick.Over the years I've heard many brides express how that didn't enjoy their own wedding, that it went by so fast and there was too much stress. I didn't w
Penelope CHAPTER 31:NAPA AND THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
MASONI took hold of her wavy blonde hair wrapping it around my hand, thrusting harder and faster as we both drew closer. I was watching her in the floor-length mirror in the corner of the room, her facial expression of enjoyment every time I slammed into her from behind and the way her breasts moved with every thrust.I never expected to be doing this on my lunch break, but the opportunity presented itself and I couldn't resist. Despite the 2 pm meeting that I'm probably going to be late for, I couldn't stop myself!I reached my hand around rubbing her clit and causing her to moan even louder. I was still holding her little black thong to the side of her toned ass with my other hand."Fuck!!"I groaned, unable to contain how turned on I was t
Penelope CHAPTER 30:BLINDED BY BABY
JAMIEThe clock ticked closer to 5 pm, closer to the end of the workday. The thought of a long hot bath with a naked man has kept me going the entire day.Speaking of a naked man, Mason is picking me up in 15 minutes as per his orders. He doesn't want me being out alone so I'm basically escorted everywhere I go. He's lucky he's gorgeous — otherwise, I might not stick up with his crappy rules!"I'm leaving now, Jamie," Sam said, as he walked around the reception desk. He was pulling his jacket on over his work uniform."We should plan something soon — I haven't seen much of you lately.""Sure, Text me. We can work something out.""See you tomorrow then. Don't forget it's your turn to bring the coffee and doughnuts."He shouted back and winked at me. I chuckled, but that laug
Penelope CHAPTER 29:NO CONTROL
JAMIE"She's not even here. I knew you were lying. Did you even tell her at all?"I turned my head and asked him.Brent walked towards me in a way that made me feel intimidated so I took a couple of steps back. He boxed me against the wall."Did you really think I was going to tell her? I'm not going to lose everything because of one mistake.""It's not one mistake. You've cheated on her more than once."He smirked."Oh really, And what makes you think that?"He waited for my reply but I didn't give him one."I'm guessing Mason has something to do with it.""I wish there was nothing to tell. You can't blame me because you cheated on her. She deserves to know the truth, Brent.""What makes you think she's going to believe anything you say, huh? I didn't want to do this because you're her friend but you've given me no
Penelope CHAPTER 28:THE SURPRISE
MASONI dialled Jamie's number for the third time, but just like the last two, there was no answer. I've grown impatient waiting for her for the past 30 minutes. I wish she would just pick up her phone for once, it's not as if she's never on it.Where is she?"Jamie, Where are you? I've been here waiting for you for awhile now. Just call me back — or come back to the room would be even better."I hung up the phone and sat on the bed with a sigh.I lit 50 fucking candles for nothing!!It was 10 minutes later before the door to the hotel room opened and I heard her heels on the floorboards. I got up from the bed and walked out of the room."Jamie..."She walked into the living area and threw her bag down on the c
Penelope CHAPTER 27:THE CHEATING GROOM.
JAMIE"I can't believe the wedding is tomorrow."I grinned as I grabbed the bags from the booth of Mason's fancy car. I couldn't help but notice how unexcited he was to be here."Aren't you excited?""Well, it's not as if I'm getting married, Jamie."Well no because you're not the marrying type, remember. I thought about saying but decided not to. I think it'll cause more harm than good. As far as he's concerned, I don't have a problem with it."I'm excited! Carmen is my best friend and she's getting married tomorrow. If she's happy then so am I."I picked up a bag and hung it from my shoulder.Mason pulled out the last medium-sized suitcase and closed the booth."I'm excited that I get to spend the weekend with you."He closed the distance between us and set his lips on mine."Do you plan
