ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO A MAD BILLIONAIRE novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14: FAMILY BREAKFAST

When Penny arrived at the main mansion, she paused at the grand entrance, her fingers tightening slightly around her skirt. She took a deep breath calming her racing heart.

Once, Chris had promised to introduce her to his parents once they were married, and now she was meeting them. Only that this time, she wasn’t married to Chris, but his mad brother.

Penny had been worried that the Adkins family would not accept her because of her size. No one does, but now she knew about them, she didn’t care.

Housekeeper Hughes stood by the polished wooden doors of the dining hall, her eyes sharp. "Miss Penny," she called gently, just as Penny was about to step in.

The woman leaned closer, lowering her voice. "Remember, back straight. Don’t slouch. And if Madam Abby shows displeasure, apologize immediately. Do not talk back no matter what."

Penny gave a faint nod, lips pressed into a calm smile. She didn’t respond, there was no need.

The Penny of a few hours ago, might have listened.

Now, she didn’t care.

The Adkins family didn’t scare her anymore. They needed her more than she needed them.

They were the ones desperate to keep her here, not the other way around. She was the only one who could tame the madman. The only one that has survived his brutality. And they knew it. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She knew Osvaldo’s secret, one no one knew about. He wasn’t really mad, to Penny, everything he did was all pretense. She had no idea why Osvaldo would want to act mad, but she didn’t care.

Let them try to act superior. Penny was the one with power now. She knew their secrets, knew the truth they buried so deep even the servants dared not whisper it.

In fact, she might just enjoy the luxury while she takes revenge on Chris and Ariana for their betrayal.

The servants pushed open the heavy doors, and Penny stepped in with quiet grace.

"Oh Penelope, Welcome child, please come, come my dear." Abby Adkins called sweetly. A sweet smile on her lips as she welcomed her daughter.

Penny had expected to be scolded, but she was shocked to see her mother in law hug her so sweetly.

Maybe Rosie was wrong. Maybe Abby isn’t so bad.

The woman actually seem so sweet and less troublesome. As they walked to the table, her eyes went over to Christian and Ariana who’s sat across the long dinning table stretched before her like a battlefield.

Ariana was adorned with expensive jewels as usual, wearing a white dress that showed off her curves. Her blonde hair was tied up falling over her shoulder in ponytail. She looked so beautiful. Like an angel ascending from heaven.

And Penny. She was in her flower dress. No make up. No jewel, nothing. There wasn’t even a hair pin attached to her hair.

She should be the jealous one. She should be envious of her sister, but she wasn’t. If anything she had been happy for her sister.

But she had no idea why Ariana hated her so much.

Her eyes turned the left, to see an unfamiliar figure seated there. An elegantly dressed older man. Maybe he’s Greg Adkins, Christian’s father.
