Elara’s pov

Penelope stood at the door, her both hands akimbo, her posture radiating authority and entitlement.

“What are you doing here?” Elara asked, a genuine confusion showing on her face..

Penelope’s perfectly shaped eyebrows rose slightly. “Erhm, I’m in my house of course.”

Elara blinked. “Your house? What do you mean by “your house?”

But Penelope didn’t bother answering. She brushed past Elara like she was nothing more than an inconvenient obstacle and stepped inside the penthouse with the confidence of someone who belonged there.

Marcus’s expression changed instantly. The irritation from dealing with Aurora morphed into something darker, harder. His jaw clenched, and a vein appeared in his temple.

Marcus face went from angry to even more anger, his face was visibly red.

“What the hell are you doing in my house?” Marcus asked, his voice sharp and cold.

Penelope turned to face him, and for a moment, Elara thought she was going to respond to Marcus. But instead, her attention shifted completely.

“Oh, hi darling!”

Elara felt weird and confused all at the same time. Since when did this woman start addressing her as darling? For all she knew, Penelope hated her. She had made that clear multiple times.

But in less than two seconds, realization dawned on her as Penelope walked right past Marcus and headed straight for Aurora, who was still standing near the couch.

“It’s been what? Three years? Four years?” Penelope said, her voice warm in a way Elara had never heard before.

“Three years,” Aurora cut in excitedly, her entire face lighting up.

“Oh my God, my princess! Where have you been? I’ve missed you so much!” Penelope opened her arms wide and moved forward to embrace Aurora in a hug that looked genuinely affectionate.

Of course. Of course Penelope and Aurora would definitely bond. They were literally the same kind of people, just in different fonts, shapes, and sizes. Both manipulative, both entitled, both acting like they owned everything and everyone around them.

Elara watched the reunion with something close to disgust.

Marcus repeated his question, louder this time, like Penelope hadn’t heard him the first time. “I said, what the hell are you doing here?”

Penelope pulled back from her hug with Aurora, taking her time before turning to face Marcus. Her expression was perfectly innocent, like she genuinely didn’t understand why he was upset.

Mon, May

Chapter 95

But something about him was off. Something in the way he carried himself, the slight slouch in his shoulders, the way the suit didn’t quite fit right. Like he was playing dress-up in clothes that didn’t belong to him. Like he wasn’t actually from the world of money and power that everyone else in this building inhabited.

Elara squinted, trying to get a better look at his face. The sunglasses were covering most of it, but there was something familiar about his build, his posture, the way he stood.

Then he stepped forward slightly, coming into better view under the hallway lights.

Ma’am please, you’re taking so long, can we get going already, it’s been almost twenty minutes, the man finally spoke.

Ohh yes yes, sorry about that I’m coming already. Penelope replied him smiling

Chapter 95

Elara immediately recognized the voice and her entire body went cold.

She knew that face. Knew it better than she wanted to. That voice,even in her dream she’d recognize it. She had spent years trying to avoid it, trying to escape it, trying to pretend it didn’t exist. But it just keeps following her everywhere she goes.

It was Luca. Her fucking father.

How did he get a fucking suit.
