is not something so well seen when put into practice. There is a faint difference between being supportive and risking your own neck for others. Perhaps it will make me even more selfish to be at this very moment lamenting for having listened to this man's supplications, and still dragging the only person I trust to a territory that we do not know the risks. Penelope stumbles on the pavement and growls softly, and for a moment, I can swear that she will shoot the man with all his weight numb for me, but she limits herself to moving the arm that weighed on her shoulders to hug him by the waist.

Francesca was back at their camp, kilometers away from the battlefield earlier. It was a huge win for them. But there was still so much work to do. And among all of them, she wanted an answer to a question that she's had for months. But Penelope, the only one who could give it to her wouldn't talk. "It's a simple question, Penelope. What did Selene do to lose your trust? I just want to understand." she asked, but Penelope just spat at her.

And that was true, she could smell his scent but blamed it on her hyperactive hormones.

She did not approve of his marriage with Sharon, but she could not allow him to sleep with another woman before they divorced, either! “Penelope, wouldn’t you say Simon should take responsibility and marry Rebecca? “Dad, do you want to see what Simon did?” she said, trying to show Douglas the photograph. Douglas turned his lined face away, waving her off. “Enough, enough. Since it’s come to this, Simon, hurry up and get that divorce then take responsibility for Rebecca.”

I trusted you and took your side at every turn because you gave me no reason to feel otherwise until now.” Penelope gulps and steps back with fear in her eyes. She rubs her arm nervously and opens her mouth to no doubt defend herself, only for Luna Daisy to lift her hand up and stop her.

My hand instinctively goes to my stomach, the fear and uncertainty of my situation weighing heavily on me. Penelope’s gaze softens for a moment, but then her expression hardens again. “No, Caroline. It is that simple. You can’t stay with him. He’s shown you who he is. He doesn’t believe you. He’s choosing Dolly over you, and that baby of hers—” She stops herself, biting her lip as if she’s said too much. “What about the baby?” I ask, my heart skipping a beat. Penelope hesitates, glancing away for a moment before looking back at me. “I don’t know, Caroline. But something about it doesn’t sit right with me.

“Look who decided to join us. The girl with no name, no bloodline, and no place in this hall.” He tilted his head toward her. “Tell me, dear. Were you lost? Or just trying to sleep your way to the top?” A few council members shifted uncomfortably. Others smirked. Penelope didn’t blink.

"You want to expose him publicly. In front of the entire board, the press, everyone he has spent years cultivating for his own protection."
