All she had to do was shed a few years, and her Fiancé, Antonio Rodrigo, gifted her the beach house to cheer her up.Antonio was an awkward person. When someone he truly cared about was sad, he didn’t know how to react. Especially since Penelope was his lover, he didn’t know how to act when she was sad, much less if she cried. He was reduced to instinctual bribery whenever he saw her cry. When Penelope bawled about the death of her mother, his psyche was high-jacked, and he used different valuable things to coax her. She got a brand new car from it. Now she cried about how sad she was that a certain someone had bullied her, and the next thing was to give her a beach house since he was aware that she loved the ocean.Penelope did, in fact, love the ocean.

Narrator's POVPenelope stared hard and long at the grotesque sight before her.She frowned. The buff man beside her noticed her frown and went forward to cover up the culprit.It was the bartender, bundled up in a wooden box. His body was marred with bloodied puncture holes. It was horrific. Not a good sight to see. There was a dried blood trail from one of the bartender's eyes; it rolled all the way down his cheek. The bartender was barely breathing; if one didn't notice his slow and shallow breaths, you would think he was dead.The buff man covered the box."Carlos, Take him to the hospital and get him treated. Tell me when he wakes up. Take photos of his current condition as well. Who knows, we might be able to use this." Penelope ordered the buff man, Carlos.Carlos grunted in response as he crouched down, picked up the box with ease—as if the bartender did not weigh a thing—and walked out of the room.Penelope watched him go out with a complicated expression. She had never expec

After constantly telling me that we would never be able to get a divorce, his current words were a contrast.My parents wanted me to come home.

Alexandra’s POVI had always known Adrian was not a saint, but I did not expect him to be deep in this sh*t, which was quite scary. I know he only kidnapped Penelope for my sake, but I did not approve. I did not sign up for all this violent shit, and now Penelope wants to have her revenge. After what she did to Katrina, she should have just accepted what Adrian did to her as karma. I hated Penelope with all of my heart, but I could not bring myself to wish her death.
