Chapter 1
The day was finally here, the day that
she had been waiting for, she still finds it hard and difficult to believe that her big sis will be getting married today of all days, how long she had been waiting for it.
Tessa was the most excited one among them because she was the one getting married and not only that she was getting married to the love of her life and that made her very happy, she had never gotten this kind of feeling her entire life today a new chapter of her life was going to open and she couldn't wait to start living with her husband, the thought of it alone was just eating deep into her she felt like screaming out loud.
Penelope watched as her elder sister got dressed in her hot white wedding gown, she didn't know how she was going to approach her, this was her first-time being inside the mansion, while she just stood and watched, she didn't want to intrude because she knew that her presence wasn't needed here, and seeing her here could annoy them.
She looked at the four of them as they giggled amongst themselves leaving her behind but that never seemed to stop her. She was already used to being treated this way, so there was no way that she was going to let this happen to her, she was already in.
" What are you doing here ?" A cold hard voice said to her and that made her stop on the spot and raising her head she met the coldest and hardest glare that she had ever seen In her entire life.
Penelope glumped slightly as she thought of what she was going to say the glare of her two eldest sisters and her younger sister was killing her she didn't know how to approach them, though she was their sister her parents had never treated her like one she's always been treated as an outcast and she living in the maid's mansion with them
"Can't you speak don't tell me you suddenly lost your voice " her younger sisters asked her angrily
Peni wanted to glare at her but she found out that she couldn't she just didn't have the nerves to.
"Penelope" her eldest sister Tessa called and then she turned to face her with those pleading looks
"I just wanted to ask if I could attend your wedding, you know that I had never left the mansion for once, I had even schooled here and all that but that's not the case here, I know that you don't like me but that doesn't matter to me at the moment, I know that none of you like me because you find me weird but that's not a problem, I just want to ask for your permission on this, please just let me go to your wedding, I just want to see the outside for once, please big sis I know that even though you don't like me I know that you have something soft in you please just ask dad and mom to let me go out just for today please " she begged to look at her sister.
Tessa stared at the girl that she had grown to hate so much, of a truth she didn't like her and she didn't know why she hated her but she knew it was because of her beauty, the fact that she was a younger sister but yet she was the most beautiful of them all, she had those blue eyes and blonde hair and to top it she was sexier than all of them and that was why their parents didn't let her go out but instead they just locked her inside the house.
" Sis please "Penelope's voice came out.
She wanted to tell her to go but she knew that she couldn't send her off just like that, the eyes were going to hunt her dreams.
" You can one along " she finally voiced out and the next moment she felt someone so heavy jump on her.
" I promise you, sis, I promise you that you wouldn't regret it, " she said and pulled away softly.
" You go get dressed, , can't believe that you will be going with us, you are going to disgrace us there, " Clara one of her sisters said angrily.
" I promise you I won't do anything stupid, " she told her sister and with that, she rushed out of the room.
Peni raced down the stairs to her room in the maid's quarter, her heart was beating so fast, this was the first time that she was going to go out after 18 years.
She had seen the way her sister Clara stared at her and how Tracy looked at her, she knew that they didn't want her with them and one thing she didn't understand was why her siblings hated her so much but that wasn't the topic now she was going out today.
"What did they say? " Luna asked her the moment she rushed in.
" She agreed, she agreed to let me go with them Luna and for the first time in my life I will be going out" she screamed with excitement written all over and Luna rushed and hugged her tightly.
Luna had been the only best friend that peni had in her entire life, she was the daughter of the head maid and also her age mate, her mom had been the one caring for her and so for her not to be bored she brought in her daughter, Luna had been the one who been teaching her everything that she needed since day one and she knew that she couldn't take that for granted, Luna taught her everything that she needed to know about boys and the outside world.
" So I am going to get my queen dressed and make sure that my best friend steals the attention from her sister. I just can't wait to see the look on your sister's face when you finally show them what you got. '' Luna told her excitedly.
"Hey Luna, can you please just stop it'' Peni whispered gently as she sat at the dressing table. The two had already gotten everything set as if they knew that she was going to attend and that was why they did all of this.
" Tell me what the world looks like, you know that I am just so excited right now you can't blame me though, " Peni told Calmly.
" you don't have to worry sweetheart when am done you won't Believe your bestie did this to you.

Luna was already done with her makeup and with that, she pulled peni from the chair And took her to the mirror to look at herself.
Penelope's mouth fell open the moment she saw her reflection, she couldn't believe that she was the timid girl but why did she look so mature in the picture, this was way more than she had expected.
