All Chapters of Auctioned To My Betrothed : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

|Penelope’s POV|“Wait, have you figured out what is wrong with Liam, and why he has been acting so weird?” I asked my husband, munching on the chips he prepared, I don’t even think munching is the right statement to use, I think the best should be devouring since my kids feel like it is nice to drain the life out of me through feeding from me.“I still have not figured out what is going on with him, you know we have a lot of things on our plate, from trying to eliminate X to giving birth to our beautiful babies, to Bella’s abduction and all. So I haven't been able to figure out what is going on in my Mafia, I also know there are rats present with us, but there is nothing to do about it for now, I am waiting for the perfect time to strike when I can catch them red handed, because that would be the best, although I can always resort to violence I am giving them a benefit of doubt so they can at least try to justify their actions and don’t give me that look, I am not going soft, I just

|Penelope’s POV|“Hi Mr Niklaus, or should I say, Dear Betrothed, how was your day? We have a lot of explanation and discussion to do.” I stated calmly, my facial expression as calm as a brewing storm, I looked at my husband flabbergasted like a rat caught under a headlight, he was shivering while his lips quivered but he could not form a coherent speech, and his eyes flickered at the file I was hiding, upon seeing that, his eyes closed while he mumbled an audible ‘fuck’.“Oh, now that is confirmed that you haven't lost your voice and that you can very much speak, so start before I lose my shit, I have seen all the things written there but I would still like to hear from your point of view so I can conclude that the contract was fabricated, I don’t want to believe that you instigated this whole thing because I have a load of fortune attached to my name.” I croaked out, barely recognizing my voice, I blinked my eyelid rapidly, trying to push back the river bank that was brewing in my e

|Penelope’s POV|“I think we’ve had enough of this, it is very painful and sad to find out but the deed has been done, and it can’t be undone, the only solution is to move on from this, I forgive you. As for the fortune or inheritance attached to my name, we can always give it to children, right?” I gritted out, clenching my teeth but I know we have tried, I see then hesitation and protest whenever I go into the nursery to sleep, but he had no choice and no control over what happened.“Are you serious? So you mean I do not necessarily have to sleep without not watching my back thinking you would strangle me in my sleep or blow out my brains while I am sleeping? Oh, does that mean we get to cuddle?” He asked, his eyes lit up like a kid who was given a new toy, bouncing his knees in anticipation, the joy radiating all over his face could be detected even by a blind man.“How did I not come up with this earlier, I could have done those two and put myself out of the misery of thinking ab

|Penelope’s POV|“What did you come up with? We will find her, don’t worry, you look like a crazed woman right now.” I chuckled awkwardly while looking at the crazed look on her face and her bloodshot eyes indicating how tired she was and it was barely twenty-four hours.“I think Liam is the one behind this, undoubtedly, I told you he is been acting suspiciously and trust me when I say he is the only one who can enter your house without your knowledge, let us not forget the fact that he is also one of the best assassins we have ever trained, I know I should be ashamed to say this but I haven’t been able to beat him in a combat before, and that is a bad sign……….. because that only means that it is only either Hunter or someone more powerful would be able to take him down.” She slumped on the chair while easing more into a relaxed position, I inched closer to her.“Wait, how sure are you? We have to work with a piece of accurate information, we don’t want to risk framing the wrong per

|Hunter’s POV|“Don, we found her already, I went to the surveillance room to check if there was anything suspicious, but on getting there, I found Donna breastfeeding a baby in a pink blanket that was undeniably Sloane, she then rocked her to sleep before closing the door. Although I feel like something is suspicious because she looked at her with one kind of longing look I couldn’t discern, it was a goodbye look.” Gabriel informed me, his orbs staring intensely back at me while I tried to comprehend what was truly going on, I needed to see for myself even though I knew he wouldn’t lie to me.I took long strides in the direction of the nursery, trying my best not to wake Duke up, my head spun at the possibility of my wife doing something as stupid as that, and to my relief and disappointment, I found Sloane sleeping soundly in her baby bed, my eyes roamed round her body to see if there was any cut of scratch on her body, I sighed heavily after realizing that she smelt fresh which mig
