All Chapters of Confined To The Alluring CEO : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Penelope Silence filled the whole room as Layla's Mom spoke. I glanced at Tyrell, and he had this stoic expression on his face. "I think we should get back to celebrating," Tyrell's grandfather said as he rose to his feet. Layla's Mom had finished talking, but she had yet to go back to her seat. When our eyes met, she gave me an apologetic look, and for the first time, I could say she was genuine about her words; there was sincerity and remorse in her eyes. I just had the feeling that this time she meant her words and she wasn't just saying it to fool everyone. Layla's Mom took in a sharp breath and slowly exhaled; she placed a palm on her forehead and cleared her throat before she started to speak."Penelope, Tyrell thank you for giving me a chance to speak. I know my words and apology might be hard to believe, but I really mean them, and I would be glad if you all could forgive me for my wrongs. I promise to never do that again and also to be a better person."After she was done

Tyrell "Yes, I surely do." I muttered quickly, not giving the priest a chance to catch his breath after he asked the question, 'Do you take Penelope to be your lawfully wedded wife? The room echoed with laughter; Pen's lips widened into a smile as our eyes met, and she pressed them firmly against each other. I could tell she was trying so hard to stop herself from laughing. Pen and I were getting married, having a proper wedding this time, not just a contract marriage, the one that bound us together. I proposed to her months back and we started to make plans to have our wedding. Our babies Jasmine and Jason were a year old now; Pen gave birth to them at their baby shower. While we were celebrating labour started, and that was the end of the baby shower. We had to go to the hospital. I was scared and worried witnessing Pen in excruciating labour pains. Seeing Jasmine and Jason come into the world and the bright smile on Pen's face as she took them in her arms was the best moment of my

Penelope "Caroline, it's so nice to see you. Come on in," I mumbled paving the way for her so she could enter the room after we broke the hug. "How have you been?" I asked after shutting the door. "I've been good, what about you? How are the kids and your husband?" She inquired. "You should take a seat and make yourself comfortable," I beckoned, and she nodded. She plopped on one of the couches and I did the same on the couch, which was opposite to hers. I and Caroline met a year ago when I and Tyrell went on a vacation and we became friends, very good friends. Caroline was an amazing lady, she was sweet and very kind. She was one of my closest friends aside from Layla. "The kids and Ty are fine. I mumbled, responding to her question from earlier. "Are they home?" She inquired. "No, Ty took them out. How's work going?" Caroline let out a heavy breath and then pressed her lips tightly against each other. "Hectic, stressful and dramatic as usual." "Then you should quit, I

Penelope Jason ran to me, and Oliver fell to the floor, his blood splattered on the floor. He had gone over to try to save Jason, but Mireya shot at him, and he was bleeding from his stomach. "Oliver, I didn't want to do this, but you made me," Mireya mumbled, shaking her head vigorously and crouching in front of him. She got up and then moved away from Oliver. Tyrell ran to Oliver who was struggling to breathe."Hang on Oliver. Stay with us," Tyrell breathed out a sigh as he knelt beside him. "Oliver!" I burst into tears as I wrapped my arms around Jason, hugging him tightly; he was crying so much. He held onto me tightly not willing to let go even for a second. The siren of the police echoed in the room and it brought relief to me. "I can't afford to get arrested. Never again!" She yelled and pointed the gun to her head and then she pulled the trigger. Jason flinched in my arms. I glanced at Mireya, whose body was lying on the floor, still in disbelief that she had taken her

Penelope "You did it, baby," Tyrell beamed with a smile, hugging me after the host called my name for the award of the CEO of the year. I was told about my nomination but I didn't think that I was going to win the award."Come on, go get your award." Tyrell grinned, pointing to the stage after we disengaged the hug, and I nodded.Applause from all corners of the room echoed as I made my way to the podium. The award was handed over to me and cheers filled the room. The room fell silent after the cheers and applause died down. Tyrell's eyes were fixed on me and, he blew me a kiss and, I smiled before clearing my throat. "I'm happy to be standing here. I remember clearly that it was just a few years ago, after the death of my grandfather, that my Aunt Lilly told me that she was going to step down as CEO, and I had to take over, trust me then, I had no idea what to do. But I'm grateful that I had her support; I'm thankful to my amazing husband, Tyrell Achilles," As I mentioned Tyrell'
