CHAPTER 94

Daughter Of Jezebel!

Penelope was in a trance cracking her brain and trying to come up with a possible solution to what had just happened.

There was no way she could get out of Maurice's grip, and it didn't seem like the man was going to give her a chance but Penelope decided to gamble.

She can't eat Benedicta out yet since she thinks she can still handle the situation on her own and she doesn't think that ratting her out is going to get her out of her trouble anyways.

Just because he catches on to my lie doesn't mean he knows anything about my identity so I might as well switch it up' Penelope says as she gathered her thoughts while nurturing a new idea.

'I can make myself the victim and turn the table around and if I am so lucky I might be able to get out of this unscathed' Penelope thought.

"What did you mean about me having just a chance to save myself from death? If you were not so desperate to find that girl did you think that your men would have found me?" Penelope says, getting up from the floor and she looks intently into Maurice's gaze.

Yes, her actions are bold and it looks like she was courting death, but she was desperate, and if she doesn't.

"I mean is it not because I have similarities with the girl that is why they approached me," she said, and Maurice was surprised to hear the girl shamelessly defend herself when she was already caught.

He looked at the lady intently and wondered what kind of fish brain was present in her head to make her think that she could trick him or even think of getting out of that unscathed.

"So are you saying that you have some similarities with the girl I am looking for that is why you…is being poached as her?" Maurice asked to be sure and Penelope felt like there was something unusual in his words.

She doesn't know why she felt like the man was setting a trap for her which she was naturally pushing herself into.

'How well designed is this trap that Maurice is trying to entrap me into?' Penelope wondered and she decided to choose her words.

"Yes, I mean..we might have similarities.." Penelope was saying, but Maurice burst into a peal of hysterical laughter leaving Penelope on the edge and she was suddenly disturbed.

Maurice's laughter confirmed her guess and she was sure that she had said something completely out of it.

"You have some similarities with her? You? You were probably living in the brothel when that incident happened at the time so who are you to think you can even fool me with your words," Maurice says, and Penelope was shocked hearing his words.

She could never believe the secrets she was keeping and tried her best that the man would not have an idea about being exposed like that and she had no other words to describe how she was feeling at the time.

"What? Did you make a background check on me? Is that not illegal!" Penelope yelled her eyes red and brimming with tears knowing there was no wish out for her.

She could not even play the similarities card again.

"What! Illegal? What about posing as someone you are not? Is that not illegal too?" Maurice asked, and Penelope bit her lips seeing that she was shooting herself in the leg so she decided to act fast.

Penelope racked her brain trying to come up with a designed lie since that is what she was good at, but her thoughts were suspended when Maurice gripped her jaw, tightened his grip around it, and made Penelope beg for her life.

"Looks like you are done with your life since you carelessly decided to gamble with it..very well then I do not think you are going to be spared".

Maurice tightened his grip around the lady's neck and she choked on her breath after being suffocated she tried to beg the man to pity him, but this time Maurice did not give her the chance.

"Since I gave you a chance one time and you blew it up I do not think that you should have the cheek to say anything and definitely do not beg for your life because I am not going to spare you," Maurice said with a hard glare.

It was obvious that she didn't know how dangerous Maurice was and that was the reason why she decided to mess with him.

"Please..let me…" Penelope tried to say after losing her breath gradually, but Maurice was adamant on letting out his grip on her.

"You don't mess with Maurice Heather and go scot-free. That's not possible," Maurice said, and his eyes darkened giving off a murderous intent and Penelope feared for her life.

The man in front of her has completely transformed taking the appearance of a grip reaper that was there to take her soul away and she wondered if she was going to survive.

Maurice saw Penelope's eyes dilating but he didn't care as he kept his hold on her.

Maurice was so engrossed in the torture he was putting Penelope into that he did not know when the door to the study room opened and a figure stepped into the study room.

"What are you doing here again? I thought we agreed…" Alexa was saying, but her words trailed off when she took in the scene in front of her.

She saw that Penelope was putting on a shirt that stopped a little below her hips and she was standing rather close to her husband who was also looking intently at the woman.

'Why are they standing so close?' Alexa panicked in her head as she tries to understand what is going on.

Alexa's eyes darkened seeing the position the two were in…she was so blinded by anger that she didn't catch that her husband was holding the girl's jaw tightly in her hands and he was almost choking her to death.

"You…what's going on here!" Alexa yelled her nose flaring in anger, and it looked like she could kill anyone if the people were so close to her.

She looked like an angry cub!

"You daughter of Jezebel!" Alexa roared charging towards Maurice, and before Maurice could say anything Alexa had taken a hold of Penelope's hair.

"Ohh goodness I am going to make you so…bald!" Alexa yelled, dragging Penelope's hair and her face was so unsightly that Maurice himself had to take a step backward.

The woman looked so scared at the time that he didn't want to get burned by her wrath.

What did you think it's going to be Penelope's fate?
