At His Mercy

Once known as Penelope Quinn, now going by Penelope Nowak, she's a thriving businesswoman who didn't always have it all figured out. Born into a family of criminals, specifically an art thief father, she worked under the alias "The Midnight Fox." With dreams of a better life, Penelope planned to escape, but her father's plan to marry her off derailed those ambitions. In a moment of rebellion, she went on a wild night, getting drunk and ending up with a stranger – none other than the man she was meant to wed, Noel Greer. Upon discovering this, Noel, infuriated, called off their engagement. Heartbroken, Penelope fled, seeking a fresh start. Years later, Noel, still holding onto feelings for Penelope, is willing to go to extreme lengths, even resorting to blackmail, to win her back. He desires to have her in his life completely. Her past resurfaces when her father reappears, needing her help for one last heist. A mysterious blackmailer threatens him, and Penelope finds herself pulled back into the world she left behind. However, she encounters challenges. Albert Kowalski, her father's former ally, claims friendship, but Penelope questions his loyalty due to his newfound success. Then there's the Phantom, an elusive figure whose actions seem to connect every event in her life, leaving her unsure if they're friend or foe – but certainly posing a risk. As Penelope navigates these complexities, she begins to doubt even old acquaintances, wondering if either Noel or Albert could be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
