Penny stood by the sidelines watching the Adkins lawyers and Darlington Adkins carry Osvaldo away. He didn’t look at her, not even a side glance or a goodbye. Osvaldo had willingly asked her to stay.
She should be happy right?
She should be glad her father has shielded her from his madness. From his danger.
She was so used to seeing him act normal that she had forgotten he was mad. That he’s dangerous. He could harm her at any time.
He had done it before.
But why did she feel a certain ache in her heart at his coldness? Osvaldo would never treat her this way no matter what. He would never let her out of his sight.
Penny wanted to rush to him, but she held herself. She had no idea why she was feeling this way. This man is clearly dangerous, he’s bad for her.
Maybe she felt this way because she’s been with him for months. He’s the first real person who never abused her for what she looked like or discriminated against her. He has loved her for her imperfection.
The first real person who actually helped her than mocking her.
He had rather transformed her life in less than a month. It was clear he needed help, and she couldn’t abandon him.
"Mr Osvaldo," Penny called walking over to where he was. And for the first time since the incident, he met her gaze. All words finished from her mouth as she stared at him.
"You should stay back Penguin. I have urgent matters to deal with for now." Osvaldo said calmly.
"I know, but how do I get my daily tea?"."
"Barnaby will deliver it to you by tomorrow." He said calmly and then turned to leave. Penny watched his back calmly till he was out of sight completely.
What did she do?
Osvaldo is nothing to her. He’s her fake husband and nothing more. She involuntarily placed her palm on her chest as she stared at the door he walked through.
Had she made the right decision?
"It’s a good thing you decided to stay Penelope. You should not go back to that household, that man is dangerous." Mary spat.
"It’s true uncle, they’ve erased the videos from the internet completely. Anyone who posts it will automatically get flagged on all social media platforms." Pascal said. This was something his media connection could not do.
How was that even possible?
It was clear the Adkins family still held as much power as before. It’s only a matter of time before they rise back up again. That is if the heir is willing.
"That is good. At least they’ve played their part. It is up to you now to stay away from that boy." Barry turned to Penelope who still stared out the door.
"Are you alright Penny?" Keal asked and she nodded.
"I think your child is attached to the madman now." Barry started. Xavier hated to admit it but it was true. It is clear as day that Penelope was now attached to the man. The sadness in her eyes said it all.
