This was the first time in years that Xavier Bloodsworth was out of control. No!
He had only just met his daughter. He should be spending more time with her before she gets taken. Penny’s too young to get married, she’s only 22, with a bright future ahead.
He had already arranged for her schooling. He was ready to send her to the best college in the world. They were going to discuss her future plans today. He was planning on getting to know his child, and now she’s married?
Xavier felt like killing the madman beside her. The one who hasn’t said a word or looked at anyone since his arrival. Osvaldo just stared into space, lost in his thoughts.
He was thinking about their date today and how to make his Penguin feel like a princess. The family fights and quarrel was not his business.
He knew if he had to take her out, he needed to be fully awake to take care of her. He couldn’t get angry, or super excited, or let his emotions override him again.
"Call your stupid lawyers we have to come to an agreement today," Xavier stated. "My daughter cannot be married to a madman." He added.
The triplets who stood beside their cousin stared between themselves and then at the man in a chair next to her. They had no idea who he was or why he had married their cousin.
But this was truly interesting. Not only did they have a cousin, but she was also married.
"I already said it cannot be negotiable," Penny said and Xavier rubbed his hands across his face frustratedly.
"Anything can be negotiable Penelope. Unless you still want to be married to the madman for your selfish reasons." Mary said eyeing the girl stylishly.
She supports Xavier’s decision, she will never be related to a madman.
"How much were you offered. We can refund the money. 10 billion, a hundred?" Xavier asked desperately. He will never sit back and watch his only child ruin her life. She was worth more than a trillion and he’s willing to give that if that’s what it takes to set her free.
Penny listened to the figures flying and was in awe for a moment. She felt touched that her father was willing to spend so high on her. But there was nothing she could do.
If only she had found him before all of the madness of meeting Osvaldo and Chris.
"I was paid above 2billion." She said calmly and Barry laughed.
"How low." He muttered.
"You’re worth more than two billion Penny, Refund their money and come home." He said.
"It’s not about the money..."
"Then what is it about?" Mary barked. She glared at the girl. She had no idea why Penny wanted to keep the madman closer.
"Don’t tell me you’re fucking a madman?" Mary asked and Penny’s face turned red in embarrassment.
"I... It’s not what it is?"
"Then what? Tell us what your problem is Penelope."
"Aside from the contract with the Adkin’s lawyers, I made a deal with Mr Osvaldo." Everyone turned to look at the man who said nothing but was smiling sheepishly to himself and then back at Penny who seemed serious with her words.
Was his madness rubbing off on her?
A madman cannot speak to make any deal, so what the hell is going on?
"What are you saying, Penny? How can he make a deal when he’s mad?" Barry asked with a frown.
"Don’t tell me this is another plot of yours to stay with the madman," Barry asked. He was begging to suspect Darlington might have applied a love potion his his niece’s food. Why was she so adamant about staying with a madman?
"It’s true. We made a deal, he’ll help me lose weight and I’ll help him be normal again. He has done his part of the deal, but I’m yet to fulfill mine." Penny had missed the part where it said, if she cannot do it within a year, then she’d leave.
At least that’s what she thought. Little did she know, Osvaldo had changed everything. If she cannot heal him within a year, then she’ll be stuck with me forever.
"What are you, Penelope? Some miracle doctor?" Barry asked.
"Please calm down Father. This is just a little misunderstanding we can all correct. All we need to do is speak to the Adkins’ lawyers and everything will be resolved." Keal said calmly.
"It’s not that easy Keal, those men are monsters. They’ll never agree with us." Xavier said calmly.
"Our agreement is for a year," Penny said.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Xavier asked. How did his child think she could cure a madman?
No one has ever done it before. There was no permanent cure for madness. None!
Not even the best doctors in the world had found the cure for madness, so why did his uneducated daughter think she could find a cure for it?
"We made a deal. If I don’t treat him in a year, we’ll go our separate ways." Penny said and only then did Osvaldo turn to look at her.
Mary still couldn’t understand where all of these conversations came from. Since she’s met the madman he’s barely spoken or even held any eye contact with anyone, so how did he make all of these deals with Penelope?
Did her husband’s niece think they were fools she could easily deceive? It’s clear she doesn’t want to leave the madman and only she knows why. But she will never let the girl drag them all down with her.
"When and how did the madman speak to you, Penelope? Don’t take us all as fools." Mary barked.
"But I’m not lying. Osvaldo can attest to it." Penny tried to defend herself.
"Mary is right Penny. We’re talking about a madman. Someone who hasn’t said one intelligent thing since his arrival. How can he make all of those deals with you?" Barry asked and everyone tried to reason with them.
There was truth in what Barry and Mary said. How did the madman make all of those deals if he cannot speak normally?
"But..."
"Prove it, Penny," Mary said.
"I understand your doubt," Penny said with a smile and then turned to the man seated beside her.
"Mr Osvaldo." She called.
"Yes, Penguin."
