Chapter 111- Desperate times & Desperate measures

Sixteen years agoPenelope found herself transported to a time where a headset was put on her to block her ears at the dining table. It was very early on a Friday morning. But she had pressed the stop button."Enough, John! We vowed to never return to him for anything. Let's figure this out together. Please." Evelyn's voice broke as she pleaded with her husband."They owe it to us, my love. Look, this will be the last time. I promise." John vowed to assure her, wrapping an arm around her. "No... I have a bad feeling about this. We already took enough." Evelyn expressed her ill concerns. He kissed her temple, "Nothing will happen to me, okay? I just... I can't lose you to this disease. This is the best fighting shot that I have and I will be dammed if I don't take it." His voice became soft and soothing. He was in pain seeing Evelyn battle for her life every day. The bills were pulling up and she was late on her chemo treatments. He had to do something quickly. Penelope looked for

"Daddy!" Penelope screamed out of her sleep. She just had a nightmare that was dreadful and felt so real, almost like she relived the experience.She climbed out of her bed and poured herself some water to calm her breathes.It must have been the incident at the party. She made an excuse for her nightmare.That is all it is. She said, trying to convince herself.Then, she grabbed her phone. The number of missed calls on her screen scared her. Fifty eight missed calls. She thought to dial the number back but she was beat to it. A call came in. "Shhhh... She has answered. Penny! Where the hell have you been?" Francine exclaimed over the phone. "We were so worried about you. Are you okay? Is the baby okay? You know, I'm taking the first flight right now. I need to see for myself."Francine was talking a mile per hour that she was unable to even get a word in."No... I am fine. I would have gone to the hospital if I wasn't. The night took a toll on me so I slept in as soon as we returned

The day passed by in a blur. Penelope had spent the entire day in the kitchen with Ms. B. Hailey hadn’t come around from school. She went on a class trip. Occasionally, she would feel someone watching her intensely from behind.When the feeling became overbearing, she snapped her neck back to catch the person unaware. She frowned when she saw it was Pamela who looked like a deer caught in headlights.“Erhm…Do you need anything Ms. Winters?” Pamela quickly asked.Penelope shook her head.“Oh… I will take my leave.” She squirmed out of the kitchen. Penelope fixed her gaze on her till she left.To Penelope, Pamela had a weird aura around her- one that keep her on her toes. Her affiliation with Bethany was enough reason to be wary of her. She shook off the weird feeling and concentrate on the recipe she was making.Her hand raised to catch a sweat on her forehead with her forearm. “That is it. Get out of my kitchen. You have been in here all day. Take a breather, will you?” Ms. B walked i

Chapter 114- Peace, at last

Penelope turned to look at Killian but caught him momentarily staring her way before diverting his gaze to the horizon.She was curious but she dismissed asking, “Thank you. For last night.”“What? I didn’t do anything.” Killian said.Penelope shook her head. “You saved me.” She clarified. “If it weren’t for you… I don’t know.” She became emotional.Killian’s gaze held longing and desire. He remembered clearly. Shielding her with his body had been on instinct. He had lunged himself over her without a thought. But he had no regrets. “I am just glad you are safe.”“Are you okay?” She inquired.Killian turned his gaze back at her, confused. “A gun was pointed at you. That situation could have done completely down south.” She explained.“Oh… It is not the first time.” He said vaguely. Penelope frowned. It was an unusual answer.Killian wasn’t the least bothered about being held at the gunpoint. His father, Jared had pointed a gun at him once when he threatened to expose his deeds.What bo

A week later, Penelope was required to go to the hospital for her second trimester check-up.It was solely Penelope and Mas. Ms. Flores was preoccupied to accompany her for her appointment with Doctor Humphrey. Killian had to travel to Japan to ensure the partnership with Mr. Takahashi was still on and valid. He had been gone for about the entire week.His return flight was in the evening so he wouldn’t be able to meet up with the appointment. The atmosphere at the manor had been intense ever since she went on that ride with Killian. She felt watchful eyes on her but whenever she turned, she saw no one close-by. It unnerved her to no end and made her feel unsafe in the manor.Penelope looked towards the driver’s side. She could see perspiration formed from the side of his neck down to his neck. Constantly, he would fiddle with the collar of his shirt as if it was too tight around the neck.“Max? Are you okay?” She asked out of concern.“W-what?” Max stuttered and tried to compose hims

Chapter 116- Driven by Desire

Firemen, swift response teams arrived at the scene. So, did the medic teams. They pried apart the car to pull the passengers in the car out.“Help him first.” Penelope pointed to the driver’s seat where Max’s eyes were shut. “Please! I am fine.”The medic team quickly pulled him out, placed him on a gurney and rushed him to the hospital while administering some first aid. Thankfully, they found a weak pulse much to Penelope’s relief. She was transported in another ambulance to the hospital where they monitored her for any sign of injuries.Over two hours later, Penelope woke up from her induced sleep. Loud voices from outside woke her up.“I have to see her right now. I am her guardian.” A voice boomed.“No, sir. She can’t receive visitors now.”“I want to see my friend now!” Another voice said but softer.“Look, we just want to see that out friend is okay. We promised not to be loud or bother her.” A third voice pleaded.“Fine. I will have all three of you escorted out if you break y

Chapter 119 - What If?

Penelope had finished doling herself up for the dinner date at 6:45. Personally, she would have preferred to simply call it a hangout, rather than a date.A shred of guilt surfaced. But she trampled on it. She had no reason to be guilty. Killian wasn't hers. He was married to another woman. No matter the back and forth flirting between them, she had to be realistic. Besides, things had become a lot more complicated. What if his father had something to do with the murder of her father? Killian promised to investigate but would he be transparent about it if it involved him throwing the handcuff on his father's hands? Could he trust him? The complications had set her feelings on a spike of doubt. She had to brush it aside till the complicated knots were untied. A man like Charles seemed like a complete gentleman. Far from the man Killian had portrayed himself to be over the past few months. "Ma'am... A Uber is waiting for you out front." Eloise came to deliver. Penelope smiled and tw

Chapter 120- No more games

"Out." Penelope answered vaguely and made an attempt to leave."Out where?" He blocked her path. "How long has it been since you were discharged from the hospital? Yet to throw all caution into the wind and move about recklessly!" His voice rose with each word.Penelope was tired and simply wanted to get some sleep. "Fine! You want to know? I was on a date, okay? I have a life outside being camped in the walls of this manor!"Killian was astounded by her response. She was beautifully dressed. He was willing to convince himself that maybe she went out with Francine or just a hang out.He couldn't believe that she had gone out on a date."A date?" His voice was strangely low as if he couldn't believe it."Yes." Penelope affirmed, noticing his expression.Was he jealous? Strangely, she wanted him to be jealous. It was the whole reason she considered going on the date."You are under a contract. I don't care about your personal relationship that you may desire to have. But not while you'r
