She had moved in two months  \nago, and nearly every night she heard distinctive sexual sounds from the penthouse above her that left little doubt as to what was going on up there. The women in that apartment came and went in revolving-door fashion, but the man—some hotshot real estate developer—was the one who actually lived there.  \nArtie, the front desk security guard, called him the Penthouse Prince, somewhat sarcastically, but Poppy figured it had to be because his apartment took up the entire top floor of the building. It had to be a palace.  \nAt another cry of passion from above, Poppy retrieved her broom, climbed onto her couch, and smacked the broomstick into the ceiling.  \n“Shut up!” she shouted.  \nA second later, the sounds stopped.  \n“Thank God.” Poppy sank onto the couch and glanced at the clock.  \nIt was ten p.m. She had been working late on a project for her company, Chesney & Dalton, a boutique law firm in downtown Chicago. She’d gotten the job a few months ago, and they had paid for her to move from Missouri to Chicago to live in this stunning apartment, which occupied half of the floor below the penthouse of this expensive apartment building. The other  \nhalf of her floor housed a yoga studio. It was an amazing place to live, aside from her upstairs neighbor and his sexcapades.  \nShe rubbed her eyes, exhausted from hours of staring at her laptop while she read through discovery documents. Even though it was a Friday night, she had a long weekend ahead of her.  \nA sudden rush of sounds upstairs made her groan. Shouting, but this time not the amorous kind, started in the apartment above. There was a crash and heavy, running steps. A slamming door and then silence. Poppy tilted her head, straining to hear.  \n“Come on, let me back in,” a deep voice called.“It’s my home, babe.”  \nKnocking, then silence, then slow steps down the small stairwell that led to her floor. Poppy jumped when someone knocked on her apartment door.  \n“Who is it?” she called from her couch, but she had a feeling she knew who was there.  \n“Your neighbor from 15A.”  \nThe Penthouse Prince himself.  \nPoppy got to her feet, and with a nervous breath, she opened the door. It took everything in her for her eyes to not pop out of her head at the sight before her.  \nA tall, entirely naked man stood in front of her, clutching a dish towel over his groin, blocking the view of that part of him. Everything else—every rippling muscle, his cut abdomen, the V-shaped muscles leading down to the dish towel—was in full glorious view.  \nHoly sh—  \n“Hi,”","cbCaiu3WCyTSH6ZH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu3WCyTSH6ZH","pdf",623129,2,73,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3","[{\"question\":\"Who is Poppy Ashford in Penthouse Prince?\",\"answer\":\"Poppy Ashford is the protagonist living in an apartment below the penthouse, working as an attorney for a boutique law firm in downtown Chicago.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Poppy call the penthouse neighbor the “Penthouse Prince”?\",\"answer\":\"She hears regular sexual sounds from the penthouse above, and the front desk guard calls the resident “Penthouse Prince,” likely because his apartment occupies the building’s top floor.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens the first time Poppy meets Beckham Ellicott?\",\"answer\":\"After a disturbance upstairs, Beckham knocks on her door asking to use her phone; when she opens the door, he is unexpectedly naked and friendly, leading to a surprising introduction.\"}]",1785399769,112,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"penthouse-prince","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/penthouse-prince/114435/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-31","2026-07-30",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Who is Poppy Ashford in Penthouse Prince?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Poppy Ashford is the protagonist living in an apartment below the penthouse, working as an attorney for a boutique law firm in downtown Chicago.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why does Poppy call the penthouse neighbor the “Penthouse Prince”?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"She hears regular sexual sounds from the penthouse above, and the front desk guard calls the resident “Penthouse Prince,” likely because his apartment occupies the building’s top floor.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What happens the first time Poppy meets Beckham Ellicott?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"After a disturbance upstairs, Beckham knocks on her door asking to use her phone; when she opens the door, he is unexpectedly naked and friendly, leading to a surprising introduction.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
