Ten Ways To Kill Alpha PENKING Chapter 79
Hope was different from her siblings.At ten years old, she didn’t ask questions about Penking’s past. Didn’t seem bothered by what other kids said.She just loved him. Simply. Completely.“Why doesn’t it bother you?” Ellie asked one day. “What Dad did. What people say.”Hope shrugged. “Because he’s Dad. That’s all that matters.”“But he killed people.”“That was before. I only know him now.”Ellie stared at her little sister. “You’re either really wise or really naive.”“Maybe both.”It was wisdom, Amelia thought. The kind that came from innocence. From not overthinking.From just loving without conditions.She wished she could bottle it. Give it to Ellie and Sam when the weight got too heavy.But some lessons couldn’t be taught. Only lived.One afternoon, Hope came home from school excited.“We’re doing family tree projects. I need to interview you and Dad about our family history.”Amelia’s stomach dropped. “Okay. What kind of questions?”“Where you were born. How you met. What job

Two years later, Ellie was fifteen.And she had questions. Real questions.She came to Amelia one afternoon. Serious. Determined.“I want to know everything,” she said.“Everything about what?”“About Dad. About his past. About what he really did. Not the sanitized version. The truth.”Amelia’s chest tightened. “Why now?”“Because I’m old enough. Because kids at school keep talking. And I don’t want to hear it from them. I want to hear it from you.”“What specifically do you want to know?”“How many people did he kill?”The question hung heavy.“I don’t know the exact number.”“Guess.”“Ellie—”“Mom. Please. I need to know what I’m defending. What I’m living with.”Amelia sat down. “Five. Maybe six. That he was directly responsible for. More if you count people who died because of his operations. But he wasn’t the one who actually. Who pulled the trigger or whatever.”“Five or six people. He murdered five or six people.”“Yes.”“And you married him anyway.”“I married him after he ser
Ten Ways To Kill Alpha PENKING CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN
Six months of quiet.No book tours. No interviews. No public appearances.Just life. School runs. Family dinners. Weekend soccer games.Normal. Boring. Perfect.Ellie turned thirteen. Became a teenager. Started caring about clothes and friends and things Amelia didn’t understand.Sam turned eleven. Got into basketball. Came home sweaty and happy every day.Hope turned eight. Lost her first tooth. Started reading chapter books.They were growing. Changing. Becoming people.And Amelia got to watch it all.Penking’s youth center expanded. He hired two more counselors. Started running programs every night.He came home exhausted but fulfilled.“Seventeen kids this week,” he said one night. “Seventeen kids who chose to show up. To try.”“That’s amazing.”“It’s proof. That change is possible. That people can become more than their worst moments.”“You’re proof of that too.”He smiled. “Yeah. I guess I am.”Life was good. Really good.Until Ellie came home crying one afternoon.Amelia found

The next morning, Amelia couldn’t let it go.She found Penking in the kitchen making breakfast. The kids were still asleep.“I need to ask you something,” she said.He looked up. “Okay.”“Do you remember someone named Thomas? Thomas…” She realized she didn’t know his last name. “He worked for you twelve years ago. As an accountant or money handler.”Penking’s expression didn’t change. “Thomas Carter.”Her stomach dropped. “You remember him.”“Yes. He died in a car accident. Why?”“His sister approached me yesterday. In Chicago. She thinks you killed him.”Now his expression changed. Darkened. “Catherine.”“You know her too?”“I know she’s been making accusations for twelve years. And I know they’re not true.” He set down the spatula. “Thomas died in a car accident. Drunk driver. Wrong place, wrong time. I had nothing to do with it.”“She said he knew something. A secret. And three days later he was dead.”“He did know something. About a competitor’s operation. Information that would h
Ten Ways To Kill Alpha PENKING Chapter 75
Life after Olivia was strange.No more visits. No more calls. No more connection.The kids noticed. Asked questions.“Where’s Aunt Olivia?” Hope asked one day.“She moved away,” Amelia said. “We won’t see her anymore.”“Why not?”“Because sometimes people go different directions. And that’s okay.”Hope accepted it. Kids always did.But Amelia felt the weight. The secret. The lie by omission.Her daughters would never know they’d been playing with a murderer.And that was for the best.Penking struggled more.He’d quit his counseling job. Couldn’t face the kids anymore. Couldn’t tell them to take responsibility when he’d served time for a crime he didn’t commit.“I feel like a fraud,” he said one night.“You’re not.”“I told those kids to own their mistakes. To change. To be better. And my whole redemption was based on a lie.”“No. Your redemption was based on choosing to be better. Whether you killed Elena or not, you still built an empire on violence. You still hurt people. You still
Ten Ways To Kill Alpha PENKING Chapter 74
Penking read the letter three times.His face went from confusion to shock to rage.Then to something worse. Emptiness.“Olivia killed Elena,” he said. Voice flat.“Yes.”“Elena didn’t die from faulty equipment. From your father’s negligence. From my choices.”“No.”“She was murdered. By her own sister. Who I’ve been trusting. Who’s been around our kids. Who’s—” His voice broke. “Who’s been lying to us for fifteen years.”Amelia sat beside him. “I’m sorry.”“Don’t apologize. You didn’t do this.” He stood. Started pacing. “Olivia killed Elena. Paid Hale to do it. Then let me believe it was my fault. Let me confess to manslaughter. Serve time. Build my entire redemption on a lie.”“It wasn’t all a lie. You did build an empire on violence. You did make choices that put Elena in danger.”“But I didn’t kill her. Not even accidentally. She was murdered. And I. I served time for a crime I didn’t commit.”The realization hit him like a physical blow.He sat down. Put his head in his hands.“T

The days crawled by.Penking watched her constantly. Like he knew something was wrong but couldn’t figure out what.She played the role. Smiled when he wanted. Obeyed when he commanded. Pretended she was adjusting.Way number two. Submit to feed his delusion.Make him think he’d won.On Thursday ni

“Where were you?”Penking’s voice was calm. Too calm.Amelia’s hand tightened around the vial in her pocket. “I told you. I went for a walk.”“For forty three minutes.”“I needed air.”He crossed the room in three strides. His hand wrapped around her wrist, pulling her forward. “Don’t lie to me.”“

Amelia’s fingers froze on the zipper.“Problem?” Penking asked.“No.”“Then why are you stopping?”Think. Think.“I just.” She looked up at him. “This feels wrong.”“Wrong?”“Stripping in an elevator.” She forced her voice steady. “Can’t we at least wait until we’re inside?”He stared at her.The e

She made breakfast the next morning.Eggs. Toast. Orange juice.Simple. Nothing impressive.But when Penking walked out of the bedroom and found her in the kitchen, he stopped like she’d done something impossible.“What is this?” he asked.“Breakfast.” She slid a plate toward him. “Sit.”He didn’t
