After sending the money needed to Manson, Penny hurried into her closet to get changed and head out as planned. She would need to visit her lab again, but that would be after dealing with Osvaldo.

Her workers seemed to have forgotten who’s boss and how she handles them.

She picked up her purse and stepped out of her room. Penny walked up the stairs calmly. She had agreed within herself that if asked where she was headed to she could easily tell them she was going to watch a movie since it was evening already. That way they wouldn’t suspect a thing.

Penny nodded at her thoughts and kept walking. So far, she hadn’t seen her uncle her aunt, or her father and she was grateful for it. But just as she finished the first flight of stairs and was about to get on the next...

"Penelope!" His deep voice sounded calm and she turned to look at him. Xavier was standing on his favorite balcony, his usual drink in his hands. He seemed to be having a conversation with her cousin Kael.

"Dad," Penelope called.

"Where are you headed at this hour?" He asked, something a father should do. If only she could see how much his insides were shaking for joy. It is something he’s always wanted to do.

"The movies," Penny said with a straight face. Her father was as smart as she was, he could see through a lie.

"Why didn’t you get enough tickets for us. What movie is that?" Kael asked.

"It’s a romance movie. I shouldn’t be watching that with my cousin, I might fall in love."

"She’s right Kael." Xavier suddenly said to his nephew.

"Limit your time with my daughter. She’s not getting married to you"."

"I’m her brother’s uncle."

"And you’re still a man," Xavier said, then turned to his child. A soft smile on his lips.

"You should go ahead, sweetheart. Don’t forget your curfew is by 6." Penny nodded. All she needed was to visit Osvaldo and Darlington to see how they were doing, and then she would return home.

No one has to know where she’s going.

"Are you sure she shouldn’t be escorted? A girl leaving the mansion alone is not safe." Kael asked.

"Of course, she’d be escorted. I’ll have two guards go with her. She’s been caged for days now, let her have fun." Xavier said with a smile.

He could see she was slowly forgetting the Adkins boy and he was happy about that. He had thought it would be hard because of how inseparable both people were, but he was wrong.

Brown had been wrong with his statement. He wished he could see his silly assistant right now and laugh right in his face for his foolish words.

Penny stepped out with the guards her father sent with her. She was a little nervous. A week away from Osvakdo felt like an eternity. She hadn’t even stayed with him that long to be feeling this way.

She let out a sigh.

"Where to miss Penny?" This chauffeur asked.

"The Adkins resident." She said and the man nodded. His boss never said he couldn’t drive her there.

When they arrived at the entrance of the estate, Penny just had to show her face for the guards to let her through. After all, she’s Mrs Adkins. The one in charge of the wealth since their master was still very sick.

But Penny noticed something with the guards. They seemed more on alert than usual. Their weapons had been doubled and she wondered why.

When she arrived at the penthouse, she had asked her chauffeur and guards to wait behind. Seizing their cellphones and threatening them not to breathe a word about this to her father.

She swore she would kill them if they said anything.

Penny took a deep breath and headed for the front door which looked different. Why was it chained with a huge padlock, What the hell is going on?

She looked around, but didn’t see anything or anyone. The penthouse was eerily calm.

"Miss Penny!" Hughes hissed behind her and she turned to look at her housekeeper.

"Hughes?" The older woman was back to her old self again. Her fat was gone and she was beautiful again.

"What are you doing here?" She asked worriedly.

"Why is the door locked?" Penny asked and Hughes sighed.

"Master is at it again, and he asked us all to leave the mansion this time and lock himself in there." Penny frowned. She was fed up with everything. Osvaldo can actually help himself, she had no idea why he had chosen to go through this.

"Where are the keys, Let me talk him out of this madness." Penny suddenly said shocking the housekeeper.

Was this girl crazy? Did she think this was some sort of soap opera where the female lead could get to the male lead?

They were both talking about a beast. A monster. The version of Osvaldo she knows is not the same person in the room right now.

He was different. More evil, more wicked.

"Miss Penny, you can’t go in there. Have you forgotten about the rules?" Hughes’ eyes were wide with fear. She could already see the aftermath of these. This is the dumbest decision ever.

Penny bit on her lower lip, she was desperate. She had no idea things over here were this serious. "Where’s grandpa?" She asked looking around.

Hughes was silent for a moment and then she said. "He’s in there. He said he was not going to join us out, that he could help master Osvaldo."

"How foolish." Penny hissed. She had experienced this version of Osvaldo once and it was terrifying.

Darlington would be in serious trouble this time. She had to save him. She knew she could talk him out of the madness. They could come back to help Osvaldo another day, but definitely not tonight.

"Open the door for me, I have to save him," Penny said and Hughes’ eyes turned wide.
