From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter139Penelope, You Carry Me in Your Heart

"Penelope!" Kelvin yelled.

She smiled faintly, "I just want to say that what you're offering has never been what I wanted. You can't give me what I truly want."

What she demanded was a clear, honorable freedom for her father - an undeniable exoneration.

Not a "not guilty" verdict bought with Kelvin's affection for her.

Kelvin tugged at his tie, his Adam's apple working with frustration.

He couldn't give what she wanted?

Ridiculous!

He stood at the pinnacle of power, commanding the elements - how could he not give Penelope her heart's desire?

But the truth was, he couldn't.

"Be reasonable, Penelope. Propose something I can agree to. Something that will

benefit you. Don't aim too high too soon," he urged.

"I'm not full yet; I want to eat," Penelope stated, her gaze shifting downwards.

"I'll get you another meal."

"I want to be discharged." She said further, "I want to go back to work."

"Sure. Once you've recovered."

She nodded silently, saying no more.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the bandage on Kelvin's hand. She curled her lips in a mocking sneer. "Your hand... it would have been better if it were broken," her fingertip traced onto his palm, "It's just the blade was too small, not long enough."

"Your mind is filled with venom," Kelvin remarked.

"Why did you stop me from turning the blade on myself?"

Kelvin caught her hand in a swift motion, pulling her forcefully into his embrace, his arms wrapped around her waist.

Penelope landed abruptly on his lap.

Their breath mingled, drawing them into an intimate closeness.

"Your life is in my hands. I saved you once, so you must stay alive," Kelvin declared with

an authoritative tone that could instill fear in anyone. "Even if it means sacrificing myself, you will survive because I command it."

Such a domineering statement.
