Wow, just wow.The grandeur of the royal palace looms in the background, a stark contrast to the tumultuous emotions swirling within the walls. The opulence is merely a façade, concealing a family saga of betrayal, secrets, and heartbreak.This family cannot get any more complicated, a racist, cheating father, a victim of abuse mother, a so-called womanising son, and a pretty much non-existent younger brother. The air is thick with tension, and the weight of the revelations hangs heavily in the opulent chambers.The mere thought of Henry and Sonja together disgusts, a visceral reaction to the taboo nature of their past. The revelation of their intimate connection lingers like a bitter after-taste, threatening to induce nausea. Of course, they aren't together anymore, and he's with me, but nobody wants to ever find out that their lover slept with their half-sister."Penny?"The sound of Archie's voice pierces through the heavy atmosphere, int

What the fuck does she want?"Hey Penny," Sonja greets, before she can go any further, I stop her and push her out the door."You have some nerve showing up here Sonja,"She smirks at me, "Oh my dear Henry, I'm here to apologise to you.""Cut the act Sonja," I reply, not believing any of her bullshit, "You and I both know you're here to cause trouble.""You know me so well, Henry, reasons you and I belong together.""Fuck you," I spit, "You and my father are going to pay for everything that you did to Penny and me."She laughs, she has the audacity to laugh, "You are so cute when you're angry."There is a moment of darkness and I see nothing but darkness and when I finally come to, my hands are wrapped around her neck."You sick fucking whore, you think this is funny, I will fucking end you, even if it means getting a little blood on my hands,"I watch as she struggles to breathe, her fingernails scratching at my hands."Please," she chokes out.I tighten my grip around my neck, watch

NEXT MORNINGI head downstairs to the foyer to welcome my father."Is everything set, Jeffrey?""Yes sir, you can sit in the living room sir," he replies."Thank you, you are excused."I walk to the door; I open it and watch as my father's car comes down the driveway and parks close to the door. My father steps out and reaches out his hand for someone in the car, and when she comes into full view I am livid, Sonja, he has some nerve bringing her here.They walk up to the door and I politely greet them both, and they walk into the foyer, where I usher them into the living

"Baby, you need to get out of your room at some point?" Nana says.I sniff, "No."I don't think I can handle being outside my room right now, I don't want to face the world. The world probably knows by now what happened."Penelope, I will not ask you again," she says sternly.Dammit, Nana, can't a girl be depressed in peace.I get out of my bed and walks to the door, unlock it, and walk back to my bed.She opens the door and walks into my room and straight to the curtains, she pushes them open and they and my eyes burn from the light."Nana," I groan.

"Thank you so much for coming, Penelope," Dr Lewandowski smiles.I take my seat in a seat on the all too familiar red velvet couch, that she has somehow kept clean and fresh, ever since she bought it, not a stain in sight."It's been a long time since we last saw each other," she says."Six months," I chuckle nervously."And why is that?"Dr Mary Lewandowski, the only other person I've trusted with my feelings, her forest-green eyes, always had a calming effect. Like looking into a beautiful forest, her chestnut brown hair, that she always kept in a neat bun, not a strand hanging out, she made sanity look effortless.

After a relaxing day out with Archie, we finally decide to head home for dinner, I needed today, to get away, get some fresh air and spend time with someone I trust."So, you had a good day?"I smile, "Yes I did, thank you so much, Arch, I really needed it.""I know, I did too," he confesses."Works been that stressful?"He sighs as he makes a right turn into my neighbourhood, "It's Ashby, he's behaviour has not only been affecting you but everyone at home, he's been a complete dick,"I frown.Has my relationship with Henry gotten to him t

"Babe, come on, we need to get going," I tell Henry, who was still doing his hair."Almost done," he replies.I put on my earrings, look at myself in the mirror and smile. I look good, even I have to admit it to myself. I get up from my vanity chair and walk to bed, I pick up my phone and text Archie that we are about to leave.Henry finally walks out of the bathroom, he's dressed in a nice blue suit and a white shirt, with the top buttons undone."So, what do you think?" he asks as he walks towards me.I get up from the bed and look up at his hair, and he has the cutest set of curls on his head.I gush, "

Henry looks at me and I watch as his beautiful blue eyes fill up with tears."Penny, you –"Surprise baby," I smile. He lifts me and kisses me."You are the best thing that's ever happened to me, thank you, baby,"Everyone coos and we share another kiss.He lowers me to the ground, and I walk over to the twins."Thank you, guys. This looks amazing," I say, looking around the room."Anything for your princess and Henry, of course," Ashby smiles."Henry almost cried," Archie laughs, "Y

I hate party poopers, gate crashers, and anyone who just wants to rumple on the happiness of others. My dad is one of those people."I can't believe you didn't invite me to your own birthday party Henry. I'm your father," he says faking his disappointment."We did it for a reason, Jeffery," my mother defends.I walk up to my father with the intent of beating the hell out of him, but I decide not to. I stare him down and shake my head. He had some nerve showing up here after everything he has done to me."What are you doing, father?'He smirks, "To see you son.""Bullshit.""I try to be the bigger person, a better father and this is how you treat me?"I chuckle, "We both know that that's not true. Please leave."I really thought you'd be happy to see me,""No. After everything you've done. You should be grateful that we didn't get you arrested."My father walks over to our table and picks up a glass of champagne. He looks at Penny and chuckles before chugging down the champagne."I see

I hear a phone buzzing and I groan, turning away from the sound. I knew it was an alarm. I wasn't sure who it was."Babe," Penny groans."Mhm?""Turn it off,"Shit, it was mine. I reach over to the bedside table and feel for my phone. Once I feel it, I press the screen and the buzzing stops."Thank you," Penny mumbles.I open my eyes and push myself up onto my elbows. I look at Penny and I can tell she's already deep in her sleep. I envy her ability to fall into a deep sleep within seconds.I push the blankets off me, and I sit up on the side of the bed. I catch my naked body in the mirror in front of me. Memories of the night before the flood are in my mind.I turn to look at Penny and contemplate whether I should wake her up, but I decide against it knowing I'll pay for it later. Instead, I kiss her on the cheek and fix her bonnet that was slipping off her head."Fuck," I mumble.I was hungover and I wasn't ready to get up. It was already 8 o'clock, I had to go to the gym but no, my
