CHAPTER 17:ABOUT JACK
JAMIE
He held my hand as we walked into the club. With drunk people dancing around us I was definitely feeling out of my comfort zone. It's been awhile since I've been in a nightclub, it just wasn't my scene anymore. Jack seemed happy that we were here though, this was all his idea.
"Are you excited to meet my friends?"He asked. He seemed excited about it, but for me I was just feeling nervous.
"Sure, I can't wait!"
"There they are.."He was leading the way through the crowd towards the people sitting at the high table.
Jack met my family and so he thought it seemed fitting that I meet his friends. I was nervous about meeting a group of new people, especially since I wasn't sure if we were there yet in our relationship. Things seem to b

Penelope CHAPTER 18: I WANT HER.. AND ONLY HER!
MASONThe Mercer deal was falling through just like I knew it would, which meant that I was left to pick up the pieces. This is the type of shit that happens when I leave someone else in charge of business. They fuck it up!! If I have to take a flight to fucking Chicago, I'm going to make sure that Eoin is coming too.I father didn't show Eoin the ropes when it came to business, at least not well enough in my book. I'll show him what it takes to run this company.. to run my company.I knocked on his door and waited impatiently. It was early on a Saturday morning, a day off for us both, but if I have to drag him out of his bed I will.The door opened and he looked surprised to see me."Mason.. What's up?""The Mercer deal is falling through.."He opened the door wider and
Penelope CHAPTER 19:NOT THE PICTURE-PERFECT GUY!!
JAMIEI pulled my car up into my parent's driveway after getting off the phone with my mom just ten minutes previous. They wanted to talk with me, what about I don't know yet, but here I am with Carmen and Penelope. We have a girlie day of shopping planned after this.I grabbed a sleepy Penelope from her car seat and the three of us went inside. My parent's home was always bright and airy, windows open and fresh flowers on display ALWAYS! Sometimes I miss my days of living at home, the easy life, that is until I remember how my Dad was always on my case about the whole dating thing.NO BOYS IN THIS HOUSE!!YOU'RE NOT WEARING THAT THING IN PUBLIC!
Penelope CHAPTER 20: LIAR, LIAR!
JAMIEI was stood in my living room watching out my front window for his car. It was a quarter past three and Jack was supposed to be here any minute. I needed to have this conversation with him, not in public but alone.It's hard for me to believe that I've made this mistake with a man once again. I put too much trust in him too quick. I let him into my life — into my daughter's life! How could I be so stupid!I regret that now! I regret a lot of things!Perhaps I should've remained single. Maybe I'm supposed to be alone — maybe I'm supposed to end up being that old lady with the 50 cats and no husband.I thought Jack was a good guy, but in the end, he was the worst of the worst. I found it hard to trust before and he fooled me — I can't do that again.
Penelope CHAPTER 21:HE CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME!
JAMIEMason walked into my home like he owned the place. He was pissed, that much I could tell by the look on his face. Usually, he doesn't call by unannounced. Something is up!Carmen sat forward on the couch, surprised to see Mason and not a pizza in my hands. She too looked at his face and knew that something was going on, he had that pissed off expression."We didn't know that you were stopping by, Mason. Jamie and I were having a girls night!"Carmen said, making sure that Mason knew that he was interpreting our evening."We thought you were the delivery guy!"I smiled, but it was clear that not even my smile could crack that look of anger."So what's going on?""I need to talk to you... In private. Let's take this outside."He walked
Penelope CHAPTER 22: RAGE
MASONRage! That's exactly what I was feeling while I stood in front of his apartment door. I had to bribe the doorman just to let me inside, but no matter the cost I would've forked out anyway.I didn't know how I was going to approach this situation... I didn't have a plan either! I banged on his door for a second time, waiting for him to answer. I'm not going away! I'll stay here all night if I have to.I can't believe this is what my life has come to. Banging on another man's door because he messed with the mother of my child. The woman that I can't get over no matter how hard I try.My hand was braced against the frame of the door when it finally unlocked and opened. I saw his face, the face of a NO GOOD MAN and I felt furious.
Penelope CHAPTER 23: TEMPTATIONS
JAMIEHis towel was hanging low on his hips covering a part of him that I haven't seen in a very long time. His body wasn't one that I had forgotten, nor anyone else that had seen it before me I'm sure. Mason Knight is the image of perfection, like a Greek god just with a shitty attitude!I almost wanted to scream because he was standing before me in a towel dripping wet, and for the first time since he's come back into my life I didn't hate the sight of him."Where are you going?"He asked."Um, home. I have laundry to do."Oh my god! Did I just say that? Instead of staying here with you, I'm going home alone to wash clothes and do a crapload of ironing. Great! I think I've become boring!"And um, I have other things to do also.""
Penelope CHAPTER 24: I CHANGED FOR HER.
MASONWhen I drove up to her house I noticed the police car parked out front. It took me roughly 15 minutes to get to her and they got here faster. I rushed out of work in the middle of a meeting, leaving Eoin to handle it alone. Desperate times call for desperate measures.She was scared, It was something that couldn't wait. I can't believe that guy was in her fucking house. Coming back to New York I planned to start over with Jamie, I didn't plan on having to deal with some obsessed psycho.I left my car and walked into her home. Jamie was standing in the living area, holding Penelope while chatting to the same policeman that took me in earlier."I told you this was him. Jack broke in here and stole them."She didn't look scared like she sounded on the ph
Penelope CHAPTER 25: THE BACHELORETTE
JAMIE"What's it like waking up to that big cock?"Was the first thing that Carmen asked me when she arrived at my door bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning. It was the first laugh of many that we're going to have today.Today is the Bachelorette party!!Months of planning has gone into this, my hard work to make it perfect for Carmen. Today has been filled with laughs and many glasses of champagne.We spent the day at the spa, which was my treat to her as her maid of honour. Afterwards, we had afternoon tea at The Ritz, followed by a makeup and hair appointment. Now we're standing in my bedroom rushing to get ready for dinner with everyone in thirty minutes."It's been a while since we've been out like this, just us
