He released her and reached up to massage his temples. His head was aching terribly.“Top floor.” Penny finally managed to sound out those two words. Caleb pulled her toward him, not bothering to be gentle as they entered the elevator. When they reached the top floor, his eyebrows knitted together as he looked at the slightly ajar door and the doorknob lying on the ground. He kicked the door open but did not find anyone inside.After placing Penny on the couch, he searched through each room and made sure no one else was there before he walked back to the door and picked up the doorknob. He could tell from a glance the door had been forced open. He pulled a nearby shoe cabinet over and wedged it against the door before turning back to look at her. Penny was curled up on the couch. Her shoes had long since disappeared, and her feet were merely covered in a pair of white socks. The socks had also turned dirty during their trek over here. He walked over and sat down bes
All he had on him was a towel, and the upper half of his body was exposed. His muscles were well-defined, and when he leaned backward, his Adam’s apple became even more prominent. After a long while, he turned slightly to face her, using a hand to hold his head up.Penny also turned to look at him. She shuddered when her eyes met his intense gaze. Caleb had become even more unreasonable and savage after losing his memory. He was acting like the person he had been right after his discharge from the army. Penny had been blaming and hating him, but no matter where she turned, he always appeared next to her. He was like a ghost she could not get rid of.“Be my lover, Penny.” He said that calmly as he placed a hand behind her neck and pulled her toward him. She was the only person he let his guard down around.“I don’t want to see you so aggrieved. In the future, let me know if you run into any trouble, and I’ll take care of everything for you. We’ll be on each other’s sides.
After her body had long since gone limp, Caleb picked her up and brought her to the bedroom. Penny lay limply in his arms. After she was placed on the bed, Caleb came toward her for another kiss. She turned her head away in disgust when she recalled where his lips had just been. Her body was still limp, trying to recover from what it had just been subjected to. Caleb lay down beside her, patting her back gently as he took her into his arms. “What you say might sound cruel, but your body is plenty honest with me.” Penny pretended not to hear him. She refused to admit that what Caleb said was the secret she guarded most closely. The first time she slept with Caleb, he treated her roughly because he was drunk and drugged. However, everyone had different preferences when it came to sex. Back when Laura talked about such things with her, she had always been advised to be grateful if she met someone who knew what they were doing. Penny had always thought Laura had seen th
He was so angry that his fingers trembled. All he wanted to do now was rush out and treat her the way the men in the elevator had wanted to treat her last night. However, he knew he would not be able to bring himself to do that. Was it true he had not liked Penny in the past?He found that hard to believe. Half an hour passed before Penny called out, “Mr. Fergerson, I made you some oatmeal.” At that moment, Caleb could not help equating her to the evil stepmother who had handed Snow White the poisoned apple. He had put on his white shirt from last night, having long since gotten rid of his suit jacket and leather shoes. Penny placed the bowl of oatmeal on the table. She smiled when she saw Caleb walking out of the room. “Here, have some oatmeal.” He had probably gone to the hotel last night for a business appointment and probably had not had anything to eat. Since he was prone to gastric and she only had oatmeal at home, it was all she could prepare for him at the mo
Caleb felt a headache forming, but she had already left.He waited for Sebastian to bring him a fresh change of clothes and some new shoes. He immediately headed to the hospital once he had gotten changed. The last time he was here, it was because his heart ached. This time, both his head and heart hurt. After the doctor conducted a thorough check-up on him, he left him with some instructions. “Mr. Fergerson, the amnesia you're currently suffering from is an after-effect of your previous two concussions. It's unwise for you to experience any sudden change in emotions. Your severe headache is most probably a result of you experiencing intense emotions. Try calming yourself down.” Caleb did not say anything. He had an aloof look on his face. However, his head was hurting so much it felt like someone was drilling a hole in it. The pain increased with every breath he took, and his vision began swimming. “Mr. Fergerson, don’t let your thoughts wander to topics that will bring y
Penny had achieved her objective. The screen captures of the conversation with Florence Turner would be released as proof when the timing was right.Penny instructed Winona to stop any further contact with Astral Motion Pictures.Meanwhile, Astral Motion Pictures continued with their promotion of The Wind and the Clouds.Penny breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell Andre to focus on his work so that we can release the finished product as soon as possible. This is our company's first big step."Winona nodded in acknowledgment. She then thought of the new actress they recently signed, who would be the female lead in S.M. 's version of The Wind and the Clouds."Ms. Sullivan, I have great confidence in us. Andre has been in the industry for a long time, and his judgment is spot on. Although our female lead is relatively new to acting, she has a strong foundation and just needs a little guidance."With that, Penny no longer needed to worry about anything in the short term. S.M.'s developmen
Selina, upon hearing that Penny was heading to Sky Lounge that night and had intentions to rent a property owned by Sherry’s family, could not hide her excitement."Sher, it's right to be cautious. Jeremy is already under her spell, and Charlotte has fallen on hard times because of her. Now, Penny is messing around with multiple guys. Who knows if Tommy will be her next target? "Let's deal with her once and for all tonight so that she won't dare to show her face in our social circle again."Penny was unaware of the scheme hatching among the socialites. She had scheduled the meeting for 7:00 pm and decided to head there earlier to wait in the private room.The socialites were also ready to head off. Selina was the most excited among them.Finn, seeing the eagerness on her face, furrowed his brows and put aside the newspaper he was reading."Where are you going?"They were supposed to have dinner together that night, but Selina clearly had no intention of joining them."Finn,
Penny took out her phone and snapped a photo of Selina, who had wet herself from fear.Selina came to her senses and broke down as she crouched on the floor.The others had not expected Penny's display of force. Selina’s life would have been ruined if the bottle actually pierced her eye. The socialites could not even catch their breaths.Sherry, still trembling, tried to speak, "I... I’m Sherry Pattinson, the heiress of Sol Real Estate. If you harm me, my father will make sure you pay for it! You devil..."She seized the opportunity to help Selina up.Selina felt a mixture of embarrassment and fear. She was not in the best mental state and went on crying.The group quickly led her away.They all had different degrees of injuries on their heads. However, none of them dared to pursue the matter further as they just wanted to get away from Penny.Selina was taken back to the Sanders' residence. Inside, the family was having a joyful dinner. When the door was opened, they saw sev
