A Second Bite At The Cherry OUTCOME
TWENTY THREE PENELOPE The event began soon, when more people had arrived at the decorated hall. The hall they chose was long and well lit. It had numbered paddles on every of the seats, and a projection screen at the front, displaying each lot in sequence. Lorcan waved at me. And when I went to his side, he led me by the hands, down the hall, right to the sitting area. We took our seats just as the auctioneer called the room to order. Lorcan had the catalogue open on his knee instantly and began to mark each of the three properties he wanted to acquire with a small neat line in the margin. I watched him do it, and he was relaxed while doing it, in the way that people who are very good at something tend to be when they are about
A Second Bite At The Cherry NARROWLY
TWENTY TWO LORCAN “Stop the car!” Her voice was high pitched. “Stop the damn car!” she added, almost getting off her seat, the veins at the sides of her neck bulging with blood. I reached out, my left palms wrapping around her wrists to hold her back. “Did you not hear her?” I snapped at the driver with fear, a deep dose that was mixed with irritation. “Stop the damn vehicle!” I bellowed. The driver pressed down on the brake without warning, pulling up at the side of the road with expertise. I glanced at her. She was breathing fast, her other hand raised, clutching her chest. “Penelope, are you good?” I asked, moving closer to her, noticing the new tightening of her shoulders. There was also a barely perceptible shift away from the window, her eyes staring around, towards the east entrance of the underground garage. It ran just beneath the crossing, and then she looked away from it, saying nothing. “Penelope?” My hands lifted, resting gently on her shoulders and patting
A Second Bite At The Cherry TERROR
TWENTY ONELORCANI leaned back in the chair with a devilish smirk curving both sides of my lips. "Well, why don't we keep it moving in that direction, Edmund?""Sir?"I leaned forward."I want you to gather and send a really sizable amount of money to all of the tabloids who are already running the stories about Duke," I started. “Sir?”He sounded confused."The funds is to keep them fuelled for the stories because I want every single coverage concerning this matter with Duke to remain consistent. And I want it loud too. Every damn time Duke's team tries to close any of the stories about him, make sure each of the tabloids under retainer will have at least two more open immediately."There was silence for a beat.“Do you understand?”He cleared his throat."Yes, understood."“Good.”I leaned back again."And as for the lawsuit that we filed against that lying bastard, make sure it does not ease up on his neck," I said to him. "Not even in the slightest.”“Yes sir.”“I want you to h
A Second Bite At The Cherry FALLING
TWENTYLORCANWhen her car pulled up, I was standing outside, patiently waiting for her. I went up to her side, opening the door before the driver could do that.“Hi,” she murmured, taking the hand that I offered her, stepping down.My wolf whimpered softly inside of my chest at the sight of his mate.“That took a while,” I said, “I guess there was some traffic, hmm?”She nodded, her eyes darting around the surrounding, stopping right on the huge sign post on front of us.“Is that”—she looked at me—“what I think it is?” She asked, voice soft.A smirk tugged at the corners of my lips, but I tried to keep it at bay.“Hmm.”“Wow!” She said. “Let's go in,” I said to her, before she would say something else. She nodded, slipping her hand through the elbow that I offered her, clearing her throat.I kept my footing pace slow as we both silently approached the door because I wanted her to catch up easily.My long time friend, Felix, came out of the building to meet the both of us the moment
A Second Bite At The Cherry ALLIANCE
NINETEEN PENELOPE Rafael was slowly getting angry as he recounted what Duke had done, hands clenching, jaw tight, lips thinning. But I wasn't surprised. Duke had always been greedy. “I will end that bastard.” He slammed his fist on the table, looking up at me. I kept my expression neutral. "That must have been costly," I added with an even tone, watching him. He nodded. "It was costly, both in money and in reputation," he said. "Both of which I intend to recover from him soon. His gaze on me was steady. "And I know that you will help me, Mrs Callahan,” he said, leaning forward on his elbow, “because the enemy of my enemy," he started to say. "...is your friend," I finished. He nodded, a satisfied smile playing gently at the corner of his lips. "I have resources that you could make good use of,” he continued. “There are several contacts that I planted a long time ago inside Duke’s empire, men that the fool thinks are loyal to him.” My head tilted. “And they can bring
A Second Bite At The Cherry RAFAEL
EIGHTEEN PENELOPEThe Crest building was all glass and grey stone, the kind of architecture that was designed to make visitors feel small before they even stepped inside.I stepped inside anyway, holding my breath, alongside three of my security detail who had come with me, without Lorcan’s knowledge, of course. Though, I had not told Lorcan where I was going this morning.He did not need to know. And I fully intended to keep it that way until I understood exactly what Rafael Crest wanted from this arrangement beyond what he had outlined to me on the phone, just three days ago.When the phone had rung in my hand, I had taken it to hear his voice. And he had told me exactly who he was, why he was calling me, amd most importantly, what he wanted to get from me.“I want to exact my revenge on that bastard, Duke. I want to end him and make sure he never rises again.”Same way he had done to me in my past life, commanded then to kill me.And that was why I was here.Not because I needed
A Second Bite At The Cherry DISCOVERY
ONE PENELOPE "When exactly are you going to give birth to a child, Penelope?" My chest tightened. I turned away from the stove to take a look at my husband, Duke. He pushed his breakfast plate away from him with disgust on his face. “Didn't you hear me?” He demanded after a soft tsk sound.
A Second Bite At The Cherry REBIRTH
FIVE PENELOPE One moment I was plummeting straight into the horrid darkness below. The next moment I was being pulled up by an invisible force towards a bright light. I gasped as I came to life, sitting afore my makeup table in a pearly white robe. My heart was beating loudly with force as if
A Second Bite At The Cherry MURDER
FOUR PENELOPE A few minutes after they caught me, they knocked me out cold with a palm to the neck. When I had roused in the boot of a moving car, my wrists were tied tightly behind me. I kept twisting my hands anyway. Not because I thought it would work, but because staying still felt like gi
A Second Bite At The Cherry COLLATERAL
THREE PENELOPE It was almost eight o'clock by the clock on the dashboard when I finally lifted my head.I realized that I had been sitting in my car in that parking lot for several hours. My eyes were dry now because there was nothing left in them to shed. I started the car without knowing wher
