Back in the bathroom.
"Because you’re master chosen Bride." Pennyughed at Rosie’s words. Chosen Bride indeed.
"It’s not funny Miss Penny. The Adkins are not good people. You should run as far away from them as you can. Do not listen to whatever deal they’ll offer, it’s all lies." Rosie said with all seriousness.
There was only little she could do to help her new miss. She didn’t want Penny to die like the other women, but that would mean Penny helping herself too.
"You’re the only woman master didn’t harm. The only one who survived. That makes you important now. They won’t let you leave." Penny’s smile faded.
Why wouldn’t they let her leave?
"What are you talking about?" Penny asked.
Rosie hesitated for a moment, ncing toward the door, then leaned in. "I heard something yesterday. From Barnaby. It’s the real reason they’ve been searching for a bride." She had overheard Barnaby and Hughes talking about it while she went to her room to sleep.
The information was too big. It was something no one knew in the entire Owlsgrave.
She began pouring warm water over Penny’s head and gently massaging shampoo into her hair as she spoke.
"They want to use you, Miss. Since you’re married to Master Osvaldo, his inheritance is yours. Everything the Adkins own is yours, that is why you’re being treated as a queen."
This was truly ridiculous. Penny thought.
Why would the Adkins want to use her for the wealth they already own?
How can their wealth belong to Osvaldo when he’s only their sick son? Shouldn’t it belong to Chris the sane son?
"How is that possible." Rosie applied generous shampoo to her mistress’s hair as she massaged it gently.
"That is because they’re imposters," Rosie said. She had been shocked herself when she heard Barnaby and Hughes talking about it. The Adkins they thought they knew, Abby and Greg weren’t the real Adkins.
No wonder they have been so cruel to Osvaldo. They’re imposters who want to kill him and take everything he owns.
"Abby and Greg Adkins are not the true Adkins. I don’t know how to exin this to you Miss Penny, but you have to leave to save yourself." Rosie added.
Abby and Greg will never stop until they’ve taken everything from Osvaldo.
Just like they’ve killed more than thirty women already, they wouldn’t mind killing more just for their selfish gains.
"So that means, Chris is not an Admin too?" Penny asked.
Rosie rinsed Penny’s hair, her hands steady even though her heart was racing. He isn’t." Rosie responded to see her new mistress smiling.
Then that should mean, I’m a true Adkins now?" Penny opened her eyes to look at the girl who nodded hesitantly. She smiled.
Once Rosie finished, she helped her dry off and led her into the walk-in closet. It was bare and empty, just one dress hanging there, no jewelry, no makeup, barely even a mirror.
Penny stood still, staring at the room. She knew she had been desperate to leave before. In fact, being caught in the Adkins drama is thest thing she wants, but she has a n.
She couldn’t leave without her revenge on Chris and Ariana. She wanted to shame her sister for thinking she had done something huge when she married Chris.
She would take revenge for herself and Osvaldo and make sure he’s in the best condition before he leaves.
Rosie helped Penny into her dress and led her back into the room. When both women stepped in, they were greeted by Hughes who paced around the room.
"You’re finally done, Miss Penny." Hughes stared at the girl. Though she wasn’t very beautiful, she looked decent in the dress she wore. She looked better than she did the previous day with no makeup on, no jewels on her body. Just a simple girl.
"Let’s hurry now. The entire family is waiting for you miss." Hughes said and started walking away and Penny followed behind her. She was dressed in a beautiful flower dress, her blonde hair weaved to the back falling down to her back.
It’s the most Rosie could do since there were no hair pins avable to tie her hair.
Both Hughes and Penny stepped out of the penthouse and headed for the biggest building in the estate. The Adkins main family house.
The maids standing at the entrance of the big building already started their gossip as they stared at their new mistress. They all couldn’t believe Penny was still alive after spending a night with the madman.
This is truly a miracle.
