A Second Bite At The Cherry TIMELINE
TEN PENELOPEMy mouth literally fell open the exact moment the words left his mouth.I turned to look at him.His wife? Of all the times he had to make that announcement he chose now?And he had announced it just like that with six cameras pointed at his face.There was not even a flicker of hesitation behind his stormy gray eyes.He looked so unbothered.Meanwhile, the reporters who filled the room erupted all at once."Mr Callahan, when did this happen?""Was this planned before the restaurant incident?""What does this mean for your company's regional dealings?"My mouth remained shut while I allowed him to finish what he had started.But Lorcan was capable.He answered each and every one of their questions with the same measured calm he seemed to carry everywhere. He spoke about Duke's business conduct and about the documentation irregularities he had found on investigation.He did not leave out the way the pack merger had been structured to quietly strip authority from the Dave
A Second Bite At The Cherry CONFERENCE
NINELORCANThe look on Penelope's face when she slowly lowered the phone and just stared at it made me cross the space between us. "What happened?" I asked.Her eyes moved to mine as she turned the screen towards me without a word. I read the first headline and then the second, and I had seen enough."It must be Thalia," she said quietly.A nod moved my head."Yes," I agreed with her.My hand dipped into my pocket to take out my own flip phone.I dialled Victor who only picked up his line after the first three continuous rings."Mr Callahan," he began to say.I interpreted him."Victor, I will need all of the planted fertility stories about Penelope Davenport to be pulled down by tonight," I ordered.There was a small pause."That is a tall order," Victor said.One of my brows quirked."Tell whatever outlet is running them that I will give them an exclusive story."His scoff reached me."I promise it would be worth three times more the traffic those circulating pieces are generatin
A Second Bite At The Cherry MARRIAGE
EIGHTPENELOPEMorning almost didn't come fast enough.Petra was whispering sweet nothings to me about Lorcan all the while I got ready.That stupid wolf was already infatuated with the handsome young man.Not her fault though.He was charming.But too bad I didn't want anything to do with romance after Duke's betrayal.Speaking of Duke, he was trending everywhere possible.A tight corner was inadequate to determine how much inconvenience he was facing.Good for him.Let him take all the heat alongside that rabid dog he had kept by his side.I wondered how Marcus would take Thalia's cheating when he heard of it.Not lying down sure enough.The drive to Lorcan's office was quiet.I parked in a spot and sat in my car for a few minutes to gather my courage.And after a little ‘pftttt’ of perfume on my wrist and neck, I eventually stepped out.Lorcan's office was situated on the thirty-second floor of the edifice.No doubt it looked exactly like the man himself with dark masonia furniture
A Second Bite At The Cherry PROPOSAL
SEVEN PENELOPEThe hall erupted in chaos.Mics from the cameras flashed in our faces as they threw questions at us.I felt Lorcan take my hand into his and started to turn towards him.But he wasn't looking at me."Mr Duke would be able to give you more tangible information on this matter," he said to the eager paparazzi.They instantly flocked away like hungry dogs to Duke's sides with the battalion of questions they had for him.Lorcan looked at me then."Let's get out of here."I nodded.He drew me closer and we hurriedly slipped out through the side exit before we would be discovered.Meanwhile the chaos he had left behind was still swallowing the room whole.He took me through the narrow hallway that followed, gratefully quiet.But someone else wasn't.Petra.She was whispering in my ears instantly."His grip is firm and warm," she cooed inside of my head as I walked.I ignored her.The elevator at one side of the hall was where we finally ended.We stepped into the elevator the
A Second Bite At The Cherry EXPOSURE
SIXPENELOPE The instant silence following my comment was lethal in a legendary way."No?" I nodded.He chuckled softly maybe cause he probably thought I was just pulling his legs."Come on Penelope, say yes, the crowd is watching. No time for pranks."His smile irritated me.Disgusting cheat.My eyes scanned him once, twice."No," I said again, shaking my head.His smile stayed on his face.But the look in his eyes swiftly changed."You're joking right?" He tried to laugh my answer off with raised brows.I shook my head."No, I am not."My voice was firm, unmistakably serious so he didn't get the wrong idea at all.His eyes grew wide."Penelope—""Don't," I cut him off. "Don't say my name."I turned away from him to face the room so that everyone could hear me clearly. "I will not be getting married to Duke Salvatore anymore, and I will not be merging my pack with his."Someone gasped in the crowd."She's rejecting the proposal?!" Another person chipped in from somewhere.The came
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 it wanted to escape from my chest. I pressed my hand down on it to keep it steady and in place as my brain lagged. Quite a while passed as I stayed still trying to understand what happened to me. My breathing was ragged as I stared at my own horrified face in the mirror. No bullet wounds on my forehead where the gun had delivered it from before. Shock widened my eyes. My hand reached up to grasp at the spot more in disbelief than concern. How on earth was I here, back at my home from the warehouse, afore the mirror? What was this? Astral travels? What happened to the gun shot to my head? I had clearly felt it then. The bullet had shaken my entire body and my eyes had closed in fina
