ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO A MAD BILLIONAIRE novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: THE MADMAN’S BRIDE

Penny was still sound asleep in bed, having slept so late the night before for fear of Osvaldo coming back, when the door to the room burst open.

She opened her eyes to the heavy sound only to see a man, probably in his late forties standing next to Hughes and Rosie.

The man stared at her with wide eyes, he looked like he’d seen a ghost.

Barnaby had expected to see a dead body littered on the floor with blood everywhere. The stench of blood would fill the room and he would send a few servants to clean it up as usual.

The Adkins sure have a lot of blood on their hands. They were very particular with selecting brides for their master. Women who have no worth, unwanted women. Useless girls from prestigious families.

Girls no one cared about even if they died.

"Good morning madam." Barnaby regained his composure as he stared at the blue-eyed woman. She sure does look unwanted.

Fat and ugly, no wonder his master liked her. The girl was anything from normal, already looking forty from that size.

How?

How had this thing survived when they had brought better women and they had all died at the hands of their master?

According to what he heard, his mad master had almost choked her to death too yesterday, but he had given her a name. The first person that has happened to and it was shocking.

For now, they would put the girl through observation, maybe Osvaldo, even though was in his violent mood was not in the right frame of mind to kill her. They’ll give her a week and see how things go.

One beautiful week would do the trick.

Penny drew the sheets to cover her almost naked form as she stared at them. But her eyes were more on Rosie. The maid that had promised her escape.

How are they still here till this hour when everyone is wide awake? Rosie hadn’t come to fetch her like she promised. And she had been so stupid to oversleep.

Osvaldo must be waiting for her, she needs to go to the bureau with him.

Rosie, prepare the new lady and make sure she’s comfortable," Barnaby ordered coldly.

"I am Barnaby, Madam," he said, bowing stiffly. "The butler of this house. If you need anything, or if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask."

"Hughes, as you know, will be responsible for looking after you," he added, turning to leave.

Penny said nothing. Her eyes followed the butler until he bowed again and stepped out of the room.

Hughes moved to the windows, drawing back the curtains. Morning light spilled into the room like golden silk.

Even though their master’s room looked empty with just a bed and a reading table due to his recklessness, the room was still so beautiful.

She has asked them to give the girl whatever she wanted and make her so comfortable that she wouldn’t leave. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
