The tires of the car screeched loudly on the asphalt, almost rendering Penelope deaf as she grabbed the passenger seat in front of her out of fear. A car had recklessly over taken them which almost sent their car straight into the other car. “Are you okay?” Max inquired fearfully. He was definitely getting fired. “Pull over!” Penelope ordered as she rushed out of the car to catch her breath. Max fiddled with the seatbelt for some seconds before running after Penelope but stayed some feet away from her. “Are y-you okay, ma’am?” He asked timidly, fiddling with his index fingers. Penelope was bent down by the side of the road and straightened her posture after she got some air in her lungs. “I am so s-sorry.” Max quickly apologized, staring at the ground. “I didn’t mean to take my eyes off the road.” Penelope stared at him for a long time. When he didn’t hear any response from her, he looked up and locked gaze with her. He wondered what her reaction would be? What if she told the b

Killian drew in a sharp breath. He heard some voices in the background, “Where are you and why are you with her phone?” Hailey shivered at his icy tone. She had lied earlier using his name. “W-we… I am at the park. Uh… I think she dropped her phone.” “Who authorized you?!” He bellowed. “I uh … N-no one.” She stammered in fear. Shit! Penelope couldn’t have dropped her phone intentionally. What if she had been kidnapped? Fearfully, she concluded, “I think s-something is wrong, Mr. King.” Killian slammed his hand on his mahogany desk in his office. Penelope jumped in fright at the thunderous sound. He ended the call and called his team. “Find where Ms. Winters is right now!” He barked into the phone. They all scrambled to work by checking the surveillance cameras around the park. “Handle Benson for me.” Killian instructed Ms. Flores. Benson was a business associate who had scheduled a meeting with him. She got to work immediately. He got a footage where he saw Penelope being d

“They are all gone.” Lance, his security team head, reported to Killian, breaking the moment between Penelope and him. He nodded. Penelope shivered in his arms when he cut off the binds. Seeing that, he took off his suit and draped it on her shoulders. He carried her bridal style all the way to his car. Penelope was quiet the entire ride. She revelled in the warmth from Killian’s body. Her mind couldn’t comprehend what happened earlier. Her heart was beating very fast. It was unusual for her. Killian didn’t let her go the entire back to the manor. He used one arm to hold her tightly to his chest while he used the other to slowly caress her arm. Penelope subconsciously rested on the crook of his neck, breathing his scent in. “Killian.” She mumbled. “I got you, Penelope.” Killian assured her as they returned to his manor. “Make sure the doctor is at the manor when we arrive.” Killian instructed one of his men. Ms. B and Hailey were pacing at the entrance of the manor, waiting for

Joe shivered at the ferocious voice over the phone. So, he ran to where his master was.“Mr. King!” He yelled all over the Villa.“Is the world on fire?” Jared inquired indifferently.“It is K-Killian. He asked for you.” Joe quickly delivered as he held onto his phone tightly.“Tell him I have gone on a business trip.” He quipped. The last thing he wanted was to deal with his son’s temper.But before he could speak into the phone, voices were heard.“Master! You can’t go in.” The guards all shouted. They tried to stop him but none of them could touch him if they wanted their heads intact on their necks.“Shit!” Joe cursed out in fear. He attempted to block his master’s view but was pushed aside violently by Killian.Jared rolled his eyes at his incompetent hires.I really need to fire the lot of these.“Jared.” Killian sneered when he saw his father sitting leisurely and watching over the terrains.“Killian.” Jared called him with the same tone. “What brings you here?”Killian scoffed

Betsy looked at Penelope suspiciously as she held her daughter, Brianne’s hand. Penelope was shocked to see her.“Betsy?” She asked, her eyes darting towards Max and Ms. Flores. “Hi!” She squealed awkwardly.How had she recognized her? What if someone else could recognize her as well? Penelope couldn’t dissipate her wariness.“Uhm… She is a friend. I will be back.” She said to Ms. Flores in a hushed tone. Thereafter, she proceeded to Betsy was with Brianne.“It has been a while, Betsy.” She greeted and said hello to Brianne.“Yes. Uh… Who are they?” Betsy, unable to control her urge for gossip, asked. Penelope needed to stir the conversation to something else. Betsy knows nothing about her life and she wanted to keep it that way.“How is the Shelter?” Penelope asked.“The Orphanage is doing fine. That is an exotic car.” She marvelled at the sight of the Black Rolls Royce.“Well, are you seeing a doctor?” She continued to preoccupy Betsy’s wandering mind. She jolted out of her reveri

Where are you? Max will pick you up after you are finished. Another text came from Killian. Penelope didn’t need a chauffeur so she declined. Compromising on her privacy was not up for discussion. She dialled Killian’s number. After some seconds of ringing, he answered. “Penelope?” Some voices could be heard from the background but later on, she heard the sound of a door shut so the noise in the background lessened. “I can find my way through the city. I don’t need some chauffeur.” She expressed her distaste at the idea of a driver. “I know. Just use him, okay?” He responded, sounding exasperated. The whole launch was taking a toll on his due to last minute alterations. Penelope sensed how tired he was so she bit her tongue from rebuttal. “Fine.” Killian hadn’t gone home since the day of her abduction. Strangely, he missed seeing his insufferable self. “When are you coming home?” She asked subconsciously and berated herself. She mentally smacked her forehead for inquiring. Kil

Penelope left the hospital thereafter. She saw Max waiting outside for her. How did he know her whereabouts? Was he tracking her? “He really sent you here, didn’t he?” She told Max with an eye roll. Way to ruin her plans. She had a plan to go house hunting. The plan needed to stay confidential till it was all settled. “Yes, ma’am.” He responded and looked like he had more to say. “I am sorry if I make you uncomfortable but I need this job.” He added, pleadingly. She let out a sigh and walked towards the car. She didn’t need to search for it because it stood out in the parking lot. Her plan would need to be rescheduled. *** “Is there a guest coming?” Penelope asked when she got to the manor. Ms. B was sending out orders to the maids. “Mr. King will be home tonight.” Ms. B responded all the while preoccupied with assigning tasks. Penelope’s eyes lit in anticipation. Was he coming home because of her? “Put me in charge.” Penelope blurted out. “What?” Ms. B looked at her in shoc

Their lips were just an inch away from each other, Penelope opened her eyes with an evil glint. She placed her hands on Killian’s chest. He growled at the skin contact. But her next action surprised him. Penelope pushed him into the pool and burst into a shriek of laughter. The water splashed out of the pool but she quickly stepped backwards to avoid it. Killian was stunned with the sudden coolness of the water he was soaked in. His wet hands brushed his hair back, giving him a sleek-jelled look. “Playing tricks now, huh?” Killian asked. Penelope simply shrugged in response with a smirk plastered on her face. Her eyes are glued to him. The water had made his shirt a see through so the counters of his body became highlighted. Her plan seemed to be backfiring. Her hands itched to run through his wet hair. “Join me.” He demanded, holding his hand out for her. Penelope stepped back. She had pushed him into the pool out of defence. Her morale clashed with her desires as she stared at
