Back at the hotel, Penelope was in a daze as she stumbled into her suite. She was relieved when she saw that Grace and the girls weren't in, which meant they were probably at the playground already.How did this happen? She asked herself.

She couldn't keep living in this hotel, especially considering the fact that he owned the place.

She couldn't shake the feeling that everything was moving too fast.The cityscape blurred past her window as she lost herself in thoughts, her fingers absentmindedly tracing the edges of her phone. Now that she had agreed to work with Carlton and had secured the interview with him, she needed to find an apartment—a safe place where she and the girls could stay away from Carlton's reach.The thought of Carlton, Geoffrey's cousin, finding out he was the girls' father, and everyone else getting to know about it too, sent a shiver down her spine.She couldn't let him know about her babies.
