☔Episode 56☔
Author’s POV:
Penelope stood dead on her track.
She was surprised, and what more?
She felt betrayed by her man.
She took a step back and gr@bb£d hold of the stairs.
“How can he do this to me?” She whispered to herself.
Bryce wra-pped his hand around her w@!st to hold her in place.
“I know that you were hurt, but think about Chris. He nee-ds his grandparents, plea-se do this for me my love.” He coaxed her.
She didn’t know what else to do so she followed him down the stairs and sat down on a couch.
Everywhere was quiet nob©dy said a word because no one has something to say well not until Marcus decided to break the silence·
“To be honest I don’t know you people personally but I always hear of you or sometimes I see you guys on TV, but what I heard that you guys did to your own child is really out of proportion.
How can you be so callous to even dare hurt your daughter, she’s your child right or am I mistaken?” He asked them.
Everyone was waiting for an answer, it was as if though Penelope isn’t their child.
Even Penelope was waiting for her parents response.
“ if in any way I have put it out that you are not my child then I’m very sorry, I love you Penny and I supported you the way I could when it all started.
But then you can’t un-derestimate the power of a woman, your mother made me turn my back on you, I’m not saying this as an excuse because I know that if I did otherwise she won’t say a word to me she won’t do anything but still I did what she told me to do.
I’m sorry, you are my child, you are Penelope James a very legitimate one.”Mr James responded and cl@pped his hands together in a begging manner.
“Forgive us Penny.”
Tears started falling from Mrs James eyes,everyone started watching her.
No one knows the reason behind the tears, no one knows the reason why she was shedding tears.
she went down on her knees and briefly closed her eyes then reopened it again.
“You have suffered a lot because of me,I made you go throu-gh what you’re not supposed to go throu-gh as the second daughter of the James family.
I turned my back on you when I should have been there for you, I took side with one of my daughters and left one behind because of my sudden dislike where you were.
I channeled all my support and time to Sasha, I never questioned her,I never told her that what she was doing is not good because yes at that moment in time I really wanted you to suffer.
I don’t know why, you never did anything to me Penny I didn’t have any reason to hate you, you’re not the first person to get pregnant out of wedlock but still I didn’t think like that at the moment all I wanted to do is get you out of our life.
I know that my excuses are useless, the deed has been done and nothing I do now you can retrieve the moment lost.
So, plea-se I’m begging you I’m not asking to be p@rt of your life I’m not asking for you to forgive me,I’m also not asking to the Joy of someone calling me Grandma, but plea-se at least can you let me be pres£nt on your wedding day?
As your mother for once I want to pl@yrole of a mother in your life,can I do that?” She asked Penny.
Penny loved and mother and seeing her cry like that break her heart yes she hates the fact that her mother made up Ashley all that but still he can’t deny the natural love here for the woman she couldn’t believe that at the moment she was also shedding tears·
“ I love you Mum, i did everything you asked of me but then you always prefer Sasha.
I’m not saying that you should love me alone but still make it equal!
I won’t deny you the pres£nce of your grandson, I won’t deny you for coming to my wedding either,I won’t deny you any of your rights because they are your rights as my mother.
it’s your right for bringing me into this world and ma-king me meet this God gifted man and I’m grateful for that, I won’t deny you for being pres£nt in one of the happiest day of my life.
so don’t think that I will deny you of any of that, no matter what we have pas-sed throu-gh you are still my mother and I love you.” she said and stood up from the couch.
Though she said all that, but it was still clear about what she was trying to say is that she won’t deny her mother of her motherly rights but then they have their boundaries, things won’t be as they were before.
br@ce hvghart’s himself and puts her hair gently·
“ you are beautiful in and out my love, thank you for forgiving your parents.it is this the best wedding gift that I deserve.”
Episode 57☔
Semifinale
Penny’s POV:
After what happened a week ago about my family, well I was mad at Bryce for a while.
I was mad because I thought that at least he would have given me a head up and tell me that ‘hey babe your parents are coming’ but no he didn’t do anything like that and I was I was Furious.
He actually asked for forgiveness and I did forgive him, who am I not to forgive him?
On that day he told me that he alre-ady found a d@t£ for our wedding which will be tomorrow·
I was nervous.
Both of us might have known ourselves for a while now but it still didn’t quench the fire, the fire of nervousness that I had in me.
My friends were there to encourage me and told me that I can do this,
Just few minutes ago my wedding dress designer brou-ght the go-wn for me and now I’m inside my Closet with my friends testing the go-wn, it was a long white dress with long hand, V-n£¢k and flowery designs.
it was good it hvgged my b©dy perfectly and I love it.
“ I loved it, the way it’s clunch on my b©dy it was intoxicating, the fabric was good and the texture was light which was a good combination for the dress.” I told Maggie who was watching me with admiration, it was a great thing to have friends that supported me throu-gh thick and thin.
Actually it was ha-rd to choose who will be my chief bridesmaid on that day, but you know the beautiful p@rts of it both my bestfriends are very cooperative.
Maggie will be the chief bridesmaid and Poppy will just be among of other bridemaids, which conjoined of Bryce Cousins and my own cousins.
There were just some are just teenagers why some are of my age too, and can I say Bryce parents are one of the sweetest sweet human I’ve ever met they accepted me even after knowing that I have a son and it was a very very big turn-on for me.
“ woman what are you thinking about you have been off for minutes now.” Poppy said and i nodded.
“ just thinking about how lucky I am you simply don’t know how happy I am to meet a man like Bryce, not only is he powerful but also patience and sweet to me.” I said with a smile.
“Well, I’m jealous of you my friend.” She said and i chuckled.
I un-derstand very well the sarcasm in her voice.
“I love this dress Ben, you didn’t disappoint.” I told my designer.
“Well thank you my amor, happy married life in advance.” He said and kssed my cheek.
“Get the fk away from my friend.” Maggie said, pushing him behind.
“Oh, she’s my friend as well so piss off.” Ben replied with a scornful face.
My friends are the most annoying set of people ever but also the sweetest.
I miss Bryce alre-ady, I don’t un-derstand where the rules that says that a man and woman should not see each0ther before the wedding.
That sht is annoying.

I stood in front of the mirror watching myself with open mouth.
“Is this really me?” Was the question I constantly ask myself.
“You’re beautiful Penny.” My mom said, i nodded and closed my eyes.
It is happening, it is really happening.
“I’m feeling nervous mom, i dont really know what to do.” I told her, she patted my head and gr-ab hold of my hand.
“You’re strong my dear, you can do it. Arley is re-ady and looks like a princess.” She said.
You know I was one lucky girl.
My mum gr@bb£d hold of my hand and led me out of the dressing room, when I got to the living room there was uproar everywhere.
My friends and families were admiring me.
“You are beautiful Penny.” Arley said as she hvgged me.
“You’re beautiful as well little pumpkin.” I responded and kssed her cheek.
“Okay, we are getting late. Penny love let’s go.” Marcus gr@bb£d my hand and led me outside and helped me inside the car.
He got inside the driver seat and drove off.
“Why didn’t you wait for them?” I asked him.
“Then we’re going nowhere today, you should know the kind of friends you have Penny.” He replies and I rolled my eyes.
He was right.
I might be very late to the church if I waste another minute at the hpise, but now that I left before them they will come running to me.
“Thank you Marcus, it is all thanks to you. My life today is because of your kindness.”
“And you think inside is car is the appropriate place to tell me that?” He asked and laughed.
“It I better late then never.” I told him as he pu-ll-ed up in the church driveway.
“We are here.” He announced. I took in a de-ep breath and started breathing in n out.
I might fk up, i might fall down or ruin my dress, who knows what’s going to happen?
What if Bryce says he doesn’t want to get married again?
“You’re thinking way too much love, get out of the car and go get married.” He encouraged me.
“Fighting!”
“Fighting!”
You can do it Penny.
I got down from the car and my dad was alre-ady beside the car.
“You are beautiful Penelope.” He told me.
“Thanks dad.”
“Shall we?” He asked and I nodded.
After today, I will no longer be Penelope James but Penelope James King.
And Bryce…….I’ll be proud enough to address him as my husband.
Only mine.
