Bryce’s POV:
I stepped out of my car and rushed inside the house to see Arley.
“Hey baby, daddy is home!” I called on her, she rushed towards me and hugged me tightly.
“Daddy, I have something to tell you.” She said as I carried her up from the ground.
“What is it love?” I asked her, listening attentively to what she has to say.
“Someone send a peanut cheese for me in school today.” She said and I arched my eyebrow.
That was her favorite cookie.
Who could have sent it?
“Was it Maggie?” I asked her yet again.
“No daddy, you know that aunt Maggie isn’t in new York, she left for Atlanta two days ago.” She explained and I nodded in acknowledgement.
She was right though.
Who could it be then?
“Your birthday is tomorrow, what do you want for your birthday sweetheart?” I asked her.
“I don’t know daddy, I font want anything for my birthday but I am craving peanut butter right now.” She said and I sigh.
She have an addiction for Peanut and Penny made it even worse because she was making it for her almost everyday.
“Okay Arley, I’ll quickly change then grab some snack for both of us, alright?” I told her.
“Okay daddy.”
“Have she done her homework?” I asked her nanny.
“Yes sir, she was just waiting for you yo get home.” She replied back.

“Two cup of Americano and peanut butter with cheeseburger.” I told the woman.
“Okay sir, holding a little.” She said and disappeared put the counter.
“I want three peanut butter, cheesecake and a cup of cappuccino please.” I heard a familiar voice beside me.
I glanced at her and sighed.
She love peanut butter too?
Another resemblance.
“Oh hi Mr King, what is a tycoon like you doing here?” She asked with a smile.
“The same thing you came for.” I replied calmly.
“Doing better cold Mr King, we are partners right?” She asked.
“Everything about business with you ended in my office, I only have business with your boss. Now of you can excuse me.” I said and grabbed the polythene from the woman.
“How much is it?” I asked.
“That will be 500 dollar sir.”
I handed over a 1,000 dollar note to her and walk away.
I dropped the polythene in the back seat and opened the front door but was stopped by a hand.
“Mr King!”
Why can’t she just let me be?
I hate this kind of a thing gosh.
“What do you want!” I snapped,she flinched and stepped back.
“I…..I just…..”
“That’s more like it, you’re now stuttering. Please stop pestering my life. Youre a beautiful woman but I don’t want you.
I have a woman in my life, sheight be dead to all but she’s very much alive to me she is my life, you don’t stand a chance Miss Kendall.” I said and got inside my car.
I released a breath and drove off.
Why did I said all that?
I guess I was pissed off by her persistence, she can’t just let me breath.
I drove inside my compound and quickly got out of the car.
“Daddy, did you get it?” Arley asked.
“Yes baby.”

Kendall/Penny’s POV:
I stood there frozen by his words, yes he was talking about me.
Not Kendall the surgically made barbie doll but Penelope.
His Penny.
Even with my new body, it doesn’t stand a chance.
Is this how he shooed women off?
I slowly walk towards my car and dropped what I bought inside.
Tomorrow is Arley’s birthday, though I don’t know how to do it but I want to see her and talk to her.
Maybe I can pay them a visit tomorrow? But how do I explain to Bryce when he ask me how I knew?
I don’t know what to do.
I didn’t even know when I drove back to Marcus apartment.
“What’s wrong Penny? You stayed out late.” Marcus asked worriedly.
“It’s nothing, is Chris asleep?” I asked him.
“Yes, he just fell asleep. You don’t look good.” He said but I tried putting out a smile.
“I’m fine Marcus, I got us some cheesecake, come let’s eat.” I told him.
“You look really great today, what was the occasion?” He asked me.
“Nothing actually, I met Bryce at the cafe today.” I told him and he dropped his cheesecake.
“Really? Is that why you’re calm? Did he said something to you?” He asked me.
“He still thinks about me Marcus, he thought thatbi was hitting on him so he shooed me off. He said that he have a woman in his life, he doesn’t believe that I’m dead Marcus.” I said and closed my eyes.
“God, I don’t know what to do.” I breathed out.
“Why don’t you tell him who you are? Show yourself to him, I believe he’ll accept you just the way you are Penny.” He told me.
Will he?
Really?
“What if I confess to him and he doesn’t believe me?” I asked him.
“There’s no way he won’t believe you Penny, you’re a smart woman. Use your smartness and get your man back before another woman wrapped him between her fingers.” He said and I nodded in understanding.
You can do this Penelope.
Just get it done and get your man back.
