Birthday Girl Penelope Douglas Novels & Stories

Saint Lucia Convent, Southfeld. 4.30 PM. Penelope was wearing her tailored dress, putting up her make-up in the Rolls-Royce. Next to her was Saint Lucia’s assistant principal Donelle. “You’ve really helped a lot by signing the contract today, Ms. Penelope. I wanted to ask you something though...” Donelle was like a dog, wagging its tail trying to make Penelope happy. Penelope couldn’t even bother to look at her as she pursed her red lips.

the older detective began, eyes studying her face with clinical precision, “where exactly were you during Aiden’s birthday party? Specifically, leading up to the incident?” Penelope didn’t flinch, didn’t blink. Every word, every inflection, had been rehearsed. “I was inside the hall the entire time,” she said, her voice soft, almost trembling, as if grief itself had lodged there. “I didn’t want to miss a single moment… it was… it was a beautiful celebration.” She allowed a faint tremor in her lips, just enough to seem human. “Aiden was such a sweet boy…” Andy nodded, leaning in slightly. “Yes. My wife stayed with me throughout the party. Right by my side.”

I don’t want to upset her. “No, I’m not. My mother, is─was part Brazilian. She was an anthropologist. She died years ago, and I moved in with my uncle until he died last year. It’s just Lyria and me. We were celebrating my twenty-fifth I lean back in the chair with a quirked brow. “You’re twenty-five. I would have thought you were much younger.” Penelope shrugs her shoulders, loosening one of the strings as it glides haplessly down her arm. “I told the woman who took us that I was eighteen after I overheard her saying she wanted young, innocent girls. Have your men found her?”

I explained to her. “Wow! I can’t get over with your cockiness girl! But still you are so lucky! You don’t really want to tell him about your twins? It’s your chance to get him!” I was stunned from what she said. I can’t believe what I am hearing from her. Is this really my friend? “Luna I think you are forgetting something, I am Penelope Quinn Cabello, I never chased nor seduced any guy?!” I said a bit irritated.

Mom whipped out her credit card and handed it to her telling her to spend as much as she liked as a reward and instructed her to keep it a secret and make sure the grand Luna didn't come to know about it before she walked out of the room leaving me standing awkwardly with Penelope who also looked to be having the same feeling. "So..." Penelope began trying to brush off the awkward atmosphere mom had built up, "Where do we start first? I mean where would you like to go shopping?" She asked. "Up to you." I replied quietly. "Alright then, I know some really cool stores that brought in awesome dresses just in time for the mating gala, let's go check them out quickly before they sell out?" I nodd

“Why didn’t you tell me? We should plan a celebration together!!!! Wouldn’t it be great if our mates were best friends or brothers?!?!” Crap. Why did I have to randomly spit out that day? “Because Maya has been talking about her birthday almost non-stop for weeks,” Penelope reminded me in our link. “It put the date at the top of your mind.” Sigh. “Maya, Piper didn’t tell you that you have the same birthday because you don’t. She is lying. Her birthday is February 18,” Daphne interjected. The confidence in her tone was completely unnerving.

Penelope let out a sigh as she looked at the damp, moldy walls. “Thank you, miss. My name’s Jasmine. I’m five years old.” She raised all five of her fingers in her hand. Maia gave her the sweetest smile. Penelope set her daughter on the floor and patted her head. “Go back to your room, Jasmine. I need some private moments with this lady. I’ll call for you when the bagels are here.” “Okay.” Jasmine nodded obediently and went back to her room. Penelope poured Maia a glass of water after that.

She gestured to the rest of the group involved. "Can we pause for a moment?" Jayce asked, interrupting their reunion. "You never told me you had a sister." "How could I?" Penelope asked him. "She's a Rogue." She looked at the unfamiliar faces until she settled on Dante's. "Ah, Dante. It's been a while as well." She extended her hand out to him. Dante smiled and took it. "It has." He kissed the back of her hand. "And you still look as beautiful as the first day I met you."
