Ten Ways To Kill Alpha PENKING CHAPTER 54
Three months passed.Amelia’s stomach grew. The baby kicked more. Stronger now.She went to doctor appointments alone. Dan offered to come but she said no.This was something she needed to do by herself.Learn to be alone. Learn to be strong.She visited Penking every week.He looked thinner each time. Harder. Prison was changing him.But he smiled when he saw her. Asked about the baby. Tried to stay present.In the fourth month, she found out the gender.A girl.She told Penking during the next visit.He cried. Actually cried.She’d never seen him cry before.“A daughter,” he said. Voice breaking. “We’re having a daughter.”“We are.”“What should we name her?”“I don’t know. I thought we could decide together.”“How? I’m in here. You’re out there.”“So we write letters. Make lists. Figure it out.”He nodded. “Okay. Letters.”They started writing.Long letters about names. About the future. About everything they couldn’t say in visits.She kept every one. Stored them in a box under th

The next forty eight hours were hell.Prosecutors came to the penthouse. Asked questions. Recorded everything.Amelia told them about the surveillance files. The territory meetings. The violence she’d witnessed. The people she’d seen hurt or killed.She told the truth. All of it.Penking sat beside her through every session. Never interrupted. Never corrected. Just listened to her lay bare his life.At night, they held each other.Didn’t talk about it. Just held on.On the second day, the DA called.“Your testimony checks out,” she said. “We’re ready to move forward. Formal plea agreement. Manslaughter. Four years. Eligible for parole after two. Full immunity for Ms. Whistleton.”Four years. Not three. Not five. Four.Penking looked at Amelia. She nodded.“We accept,” Marcus said.“Arraignment is Monday. Nine AM. Be there.”She hung up.Marcus closed his briefcase. “That’s it. It’s done.”Amelia exhaled. Felt like she’d been holding her breath for days.“Thank you,” Penking said to Ma

The lawyer arrived within an hour.Marcus Chen. Mid-forties. Expensive suit. Sharp eyes that missed nothing.He sat across from Penking and Amelia in the living room. Listened without interrupting as Penking explained the situation.When Penking finished, Marcus set down his pen.“Let me make sure I understand,” he said. “You want to confess to crimes you may or may not have committed to appease a woman who’s blackmailing you with your partner’s pregnancy.”“Yes.”“That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”“I don’t care if it’s stupid. Can you make it work?”Marcus leaned back. “Maybe. If we structure it right. If the prosecutors bite. If Olivia accepts the deal.” He looked at Amelia. “And if you’re willing to testify.”She blinked. “What?”“If Penking is confessing to manslaughter in Elena’s death, the prosecution will want corroboration. Witnesses. You lived with him. You have access to his files. His operations. You could provide that.”“You want me to testify against him?”“I w

Amelia didn’t sleep that night.She lay beside Penking. Listened to him breathe. And tried to figure out what to do.Tell him. Don’t tell him. Go to the meeting. Don’t go.Every option felt wrong.Morning came too fast.Penking kissed her forehead before leaving for work. “You okay? You seem off.”“Just tired. Pregnancy stuff.”“You sure?”“I’m sure.”He left.She got up. Made coffee she couldn’t drink. Stared at her phone.Dan found her in the kitchen. “You look terrible.”“Thanks.”“I’m serious. What’s wrong?”She wanted to tell him. Wanted to share the burden.But this was her problem. Her choice.“Nothing. Just didn’t sleep well.”“Liar.” He sat beside her. “Tell me.”She looked at him. At her brother who’d almost died for her. Who’d stayed even when he could have left.“If I tell you something, you have to promise not to overreact.”“That’s never a good start.”“Promise me.”He sighed. “Fine. I promise.”She told him everything. About Olivia. The call. The threat. The meeting.Wh

The doctor confirmed it the next day.Six weeks pregnant. Healthy. Everything normal.Penking held her hand through the whole appointment. Asked a hundred questions. Took notes.When they left, he was quiet.“What are you thinking?” she asked.“That I’m going to be a father.” He looked at her. “And I’m either going to be really good at it or really terrible.”“There’s no middle ground?”“Not with me.” He opened the car door for her. “I do everything extreme.”She got in. He slid in beside her.The drive back was silent.Inside the penthouse, Dan was on the couch. Reading.He looked up when they came in. “How was the doctor?”Amelia and Penking exchanged glances.“We need to tell you something,” Amelia said.Dan set down his book. “Okay.”“I’m pregnant.”He blinked. Once. Twice. “You’re what?”“Pregnant. Six weeks.”Dan looked at Penking. Then at Amelia. Then back at Penking.“And you’re keeping it?” he asked.“Yes,” she said.“Both of you?”“Yes,” Penking said.Dan was quiet for a lon

Two weeks passed in something resembling peace.Amelia woke up every morning beside Penking. They had coffee together. He went to work. She did whatever she wanted.Some days she walked the city. Some days she stayed in and read. Some days she sat in on his meetings and watched him operate.Dan was healing. Getting stronger. He and Penking had developed an uneasy truce. Not friendship. But respect.It almost felt normal.Almost.On Tuesday morning, Amelia woke up nauseous.She barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up.Penking was beside her in seconds. Held her hair back. Rubbed her back.“You okay?” he asked.“Must be something I ate.”“We ate the same thing.”She rinsed her mouth. Stood. “Maybe I’m coming down with something.”He touched her forehead. “You don’t feel warm.”“I’m fine. Just. Give me a minute.”She brushed her teeth. Splashed water on her face.Looked at herself in the mirror.Pale. Tired. Her breasts were sore. Had been for days.And she was late.Two weeks
