Surviving Heartbreak novel

---- Chapter 23 Penelope's phone had been confiscated by Jacob, so she now had no method by which to communicate with the outside world at all. She had no way of breaking free of his control. She resentfully swallowed a bite of the lasagna before saying in a choked voice, "I hate you, Jacob Thornton! " A flash of hurt crossed Jacob's expression, and he spilled most of the lasagna in the bowl he held. He knelt down to clean up the mess.

By the time he looked up again, he had reverted to his indifferent expression. "T'd rather you hate me than allow you to leave me to be with Peter!" he declared. "Just obediently stay by my side. I won't treat you badly." After the meal, a group of assistants poured into her room. "Please pick one of these dresses and head downstairs, Ms. Hall. Mr. Thornton is waiting for you on the couch," said one of them. "Get out!" yelled Penelope. "Mr.

Thornton has ordered this season's newly ---- released luxury pearl series for you, Ms. Hall. Please try them on and see if you like them." "I don't want them!" she shouted with a frown before ordering in a stern tone, "Get out, all of you! Don't bother me!" The assistants were so frightened by her outburst that they promptly fled the room. She lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and dozed off. A while later, she heard a man's deep voice in her ear.

"Didn't you promise your fans that you would publish five comic pages every day?" asked Jacob. "Get up and draw. I'll allow you to use the laptop for two hours." Her eyes lit up. She sat up immediately and accepted the laptop that he handed her, but then she lowered her head in disappointment. The laptop was not even connected to the internet! Jacob ruffled her hair. "Once you've finished drawing the pages, I'll get someone to publish them on Twitter for you.

If you wish to leave this place, your only option is to listen to me, alright?" Penelope abandoned the laptop and lay with her back to him. She said in an impatient tone, "I'm not in the mood to draw. Get out!" In the next instant, he hugged her tightly. "Alright, ---- let's not draw then. I'll sleep with you for a while instead. It's been four years since I hugged you to sleep. I miss you so much." She tried to struggle out of his embrace, but his passionate kiss robbed her of her breath.

He started touching her all over, and his movements became bolder and bolder as time went by. It did not matter how much she begged for mercy, so in the end, she simply stopped struggling and let him do as he pleased. She said coldly, "You once told me that your favorite thing about me was how I would save myself for only one person. However, I'm no longer that clean woman you like so much because I've done it with Peter before." Jacob stopped moving.

His eyes burned with anger as he grabbed her by the throat and roared , "What did you say? Repeat that one more time!" She looked him in the eyes without the slightest hint of fear and declared mockingly , "I've... done it with Peter! Your stepfather's skills are far better than yours. He's able to make me feel really good every time we do it! "Now that the thing you liked most about me is no more, I don't deserve you treating me this well at all. So, how about you let me go?
