Semua Bab Confined To The Alluring CEO : Bab 1 - Bab 10

PenelopeI froze and then I tried to speak but no words formed in my mouth as my stepsister's statement had sent literal shock waves through me, it was as though my heart had been ripped out from my chest. Suddenly the food in my mouth which tasted so delicious earlier on turned so bitter that I had to reach for a glass of water and gulp it down my throat before returning my gaze to Mireya. "Huh!" I managed to mutter when I eventually found my voice. "I am in love with Richard and we've decided to get married in a month." Mireya my stepsister repeated, this time with a grim expression playing on her face. Mireya did have great guts, that I was aware of but never had I imagined that she would announce her wedding to my fiance looking me in the eye. The room fell silent and you could hear a pin drop, my eyes darted around as I watched the disarray of expression on everyone's faces. My dad had this indifferent look on his face as expected, my Stepmom didn't seem surprised by the new

PenelopeThroughout the drive, all I could think of was the tears on Oliver's sad face as we said goodbyes to each other. It ached my heart to be the reason for my brother's tears, but I comforted myself with the fact that he wouldn't be able to bear the loss of our grandpa neither would I so I had no choice but to do what needed to be done. The drive was silent all through none of us spoke to each other, even though I was glad I was starting to think that aside from the fact that Tyrell was disabled, he was also mute or maybe was he just a man of few words or rather no words at all. I could only hope that it would continue that way at least then I won't have to deal with talking to him."Ma'am, are you okay?" The man who was driving asked making me cock my head and I noticed he was looking at me through the rear mirror. Ma'am? Why was he calling me that? I realised it was going to be rude to not give him a response so I did. "I'm okay. And please don't call me ma'am, my name is Pe

PenelopeI was unable to believe my ears, my jaw slacked, and I stared at him frowning in confusion. His eyes scrutinised my face as he studied my expression.He let out a laugh and folded his arms across his huge chest. "I'm not really disabled, neither is my face scarred as you can see. You shouldn't believe everything you see on the internet." What could be his reasons for pretending to be disabled? It definitely has something to do with the same reason why there was information on the internet about his family being bankrupt when they are not. I gathered myself together trying to process my thoughts when he started to walk to the other wardrobe which wasn't mine. Like he knew my eyes were trailing him, he halted and veered to face me. "I brought you to the bed even though I dislike you, I couldn't help but feel pity for you. Just a heads up, don't think it is going to continue that way. And just because my grandfather likes you doesn't mean I will." His voice was stern as he

Penelope"Don't look at Oliver like that, he didn't tell me. And I'm disappointed he didn't, I can't believe both of you hid something like that from me." My grandpa spoke making me avert my gaze from Oliver and look downward. I racked my brain trying to come up with a reasonable thing to say but it seemed my brain decided to bail out on me as I could only think about who must have told my grandpa. "Pennie, if you are wondering who told me, Avery did. She called me else I wouldn't have known." Grandpa informed. I furrowed my brows tilting up my head to gaze at Oliver and he nodded. Avery was probably trying to mock him. I could imagine the smirk on her face and the mockery in her voice as she told my grandpa. "Tell us, Penelope. Why did you do that? Was it because of Richard?" Aunt Lilly asked. If it was because of that asshole I wouldn't bother. Yes, he broke my heart but I wouldn't get married to a stranger because of that. "Or is there something you are not telling us? You c

PenelopeTwo weeks had passed since I told Tyrell to stay away from my business and my life and I couldn't be more glad he listened. He stopped staying in the room and moved his belongings to a different room, we rarely spoke to each other and I didn't see him very often at home. He started to leave the house very early in the morning and return just before dinner, I didn't know where he was going to and I certainly didn't care to find out.I concluded it was high time I found a job, I just couldn't continue to stay at home without doing anything, I was getting bored of that lifestyle. Before Oliver returned home Tyrell gifted him a video game, he asked me if he could take it and I told him to do whatever he wanted after all I knew he wanted the gift asking me was just a formality, and I knew better than to say no.Even though I was glad Tyrell was finally off my back, I had found myself a new enemy Layla's Mom she never spoke to me or replied to my greetings except when Tyrell's Gran
