All Chapters of Falling into the devil's bed: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Penelope's POV:“You can just get her anything. It doesn't matter what it is. Penelope is a simple woman. She'll accept a ring made of bread tie.”My sister, Calypso, is laughing. She's in bed, tangled with a man, her hair and makeup messy in the way that can only be from sex. “Nah. I don't want her to think I'm poor.” The man, Charles, who's also my husband of four years replies. “It has to be something thoughtful. Something…classy. I got her a diamond earring set the last time. Maybe rubies? Or gold? Come on, give me ideas.”“She has a million of these ‘classy’ gifts already,”He runs his fingers down her arm. “What can I say? I like spoiling my wife rotten. She never had it growing up, you know.”“I fucking know. We're twins, remember?”My heart threatens to burst out of my chest, the same way my eyes fill with hot tears. Standing outside our shared bedroom, I can see everything from the crack in the door. I clamp a shaky hand over my mouth so I won't make a noise. My blood turns

Penelope's POV:The moment those words leave the sexy man's lips, Charles gets to his feet and drags me up with him. “Mom, dad, I'm sorry but we'll be leaving now.”“You only just got here! You haven't even had dessert!” Mrs Halstead protests, worry lacing her tone. Worry for her golden son and not me, obviously. Charles shoots a look at the man, one filled with pure loathing. “Another time.”Mr Halstead is awfully quiet. He sips his wine, his eyes focused on the man. Those eyes are chilly, and it's not hard to guess what he's thinking. “You must be my sister-in-law,” the man stops me, the corners of his lips titled up. He strokes the kitten, his eyes burning into mine. His gaze feels like a fire consuming me slowly.My heart catches in my throat, and my face heats up. I try to speak and the words won't come out, so I nod. “Hold onto this beauty for me. Her name has Leila, and I'll be back for her soon.” He hands the kitten over to me. She's a tiny thing. It's the first time I'm h

Penelope's POV:I gently place Leila on the bed and open up his envelope. “Oh wow, you're divorcing me too! Isn't this convenient? Why don't we both sign them and go on our merry ways?”His eyes narrow. “You're cheating on me, isn't it?” I blink rapidly. “I beg your finest pardon?”“That's why you're divorcing me. How long has this been going on? Huh? Those business trips, that's when you meet him, isn't it?”I don't reply. Only because I can't wrap my head around the nonsense coming out of his mouth. “Is it my brother? Who is it?!” Something snaps inside me. Something deeply fundamental to my sanity. Blood rushes to my head. My hand flies to my mouth and I bite down on my thumb. Hard. The pain shocks me out of the rage in my gut. All my rational thinking flies out of the window. “Don't give me that fucking shit! You're fucking my sister! And you have the….oh my goodness…you have the nerve to stand there and accuse me?!”A calm washes over his face. “You know.” He says. It wasn't
