Penelope’s POVLena rushed into my room.“Penelope, did you hear? Mr. Vanderbilt kept Sebastian locked for two days without food and water because he was defending me.”I shot up from the bed.“Are you serious? Did that really happen?”She nodded.“Everyone are talking about it. You can’t seem to catch a break in this house. Poor thing. That Sebastian is so selfish. All he cares about is himself. He can’t even keep his feelings in check. And he knows that you’re the one who’s going to suffer all this.”“Stop blaming Sebastian,” I said weakly.She shook her head.“You have become as crazy as Sebastian.”I stared at her for a moment before shaking my head. “I don’t understand why you’re blaming him.”“Because he keeps making things worse.”“He didn’t ask my father to lock him up.”“He shouldn’t have fought with Madeleine.”“She insulted me.”“And he still could have ignored her.”I frowned. “That would have been difficult.”“Exactly. Because he has no self-control.”I rolled my eyes.“Y

Penelope’s povSince I was accused of theft, I hadn't seen Sebastian at all. I was prohibited from going to the main house because they believed that I would steal again. The one that hurt me the most was the fact that Mrs. Vanderbilt was also believing it as well. The woman always supported me for everything I did. So I knew that she must think that I stole it.I would never forgive Madeline and her mother. It seemed like they had planned it out so meticulously, especially since I was still recovering. They had no human feeling at all. It surprised me that they could be that heartless.This was a score that I had to settle with her, and I would make sure that I did. I sat down in my room thinking of what to do. Lena had already gone home yesterday. So I was left alone at home. My father was not at home either. So I decided to take one bold step and approach Madeline’s house. Perhaps that was the best thing to do.And so I did just so. When I got to their gate, I waited and announced

Penelope’s povI was hearing rumors around that Sebastian rejected Madeline in front of everyone, and some people even went as far as saying that he did so because of me. I was confused. After that time at the hospital where Sebastian was caring for me, there hadn’t been a single time when he spared so much as even a glance at me. So I wondered where their assumptions were coming from. Knowing who Madeline was, she could have gone to speak to him about it, and everyone probably heard of it. School was no fun for me. As soon as I got there, Lena ran to me and linked her arm with mine.“I’m sure you already heard the news,” she said.I grimaced. “I did.”“Well,” she raised a brow at me. “What do you want me to say, Lena?” I asked. “No matter what I say, no one is going to believe me. Everyone assumes that I’m just this filthy gold digger who is trying my best to steal Sebastian’s favor from Madeline.”And she looked genuinely hurt. “Do you think that I of all people would think that w

Sebastian’s POVMy father looked from Penelope, who was still unconscious on the bed, to me, and then his eyes settled on Madeleine. I couldn’t tell what he had heard before coming here, but judging by the anger on his face, I knew he wasn’t pleased with whatever he had seen or been told. I was about to ask what he was doing there when he suddenly walked towards me and slapped me across the face. The sound was so loud that I heard it clearly even over the machines in the room, and my head turned to the side from the force of it.For a moment, I stood there in shock, unable to believe that he had actually done that in front of everyone, especially while Penelope was lying helplessly on the hospital bed.“Leave this room immediately,” he ordered, his voice carrying the kind of authority that made it clear he wasn’t interested in hearing anything I had to say. I turned to look at him, my cheek burning, but I refused to lower my head or apologize for something I didn’t believe I had don

Penelope’s povI had spent the last few days trying to recover from what happened at school, but it seemed that no matter how much I wanted to forget about it, I couldn’t. The pain in my scalp had gradually reduced, although I still felt uncomfortable whenever I remembered how those girls had surrounded me and pulled my hair. I couldn’t understand why they had decided to take their anger out on me when I had done absolutely nothing to interfere with Sebastian and Madeleine’s relationship. I hadn’t asked Sebastian to reject her, and I certainly hadn’t encouraged him to defend me against her. Yet somehow, I had become the person everyone blamed for their problems, and I was tired of it.When I finally returned to school, I immediately noticed that something had changed. People were gathered in small groups, whispering to one another, and I heard Sebastian and Madeleine’s names several times as I walked down the hallway. At first, I tried to ignore them because I didn’t want to get invol
