The Adkins guards, moved the guests out of the mansion one after another. This was the most embarrassing engagement party in the history of engagement parties.

Everyone still in awe by everything that happened tonight. It will never leave their lips in a long time. The ones that recorded the convo couldn’t wait to post everything online. Other’s couldn’t wait to share it with their friends and families who didn’t attend.

The Peterson’s have turned into laughing stock in the society.

This news was more than juicy. It would be the juiciest news of the year. Greg, Abby and Chris Adkins all kicked out of their home by the Adkins lawyers because they tried to harm the real Adkins heir.

But who’s this Adkins true heir and why isn’t he out yet?

Did the Adkins still exist?

They thought the Adkins family had gone on extinct.

Why was the heir hidden if he was alive? And why did he let these people steal his identity for years. There were so many questions to be answered, yet no one had the answer for it.

Could the rumors be true?

Was he really sick in the head?

While the commotion went on outside, Penny, now sipping the tea Osvaldo gave her gently, turned towards the window. She heard the loud noises outside and wondered what was happening.

Was the party over already?

Why were they so loud leaving?

Penny tried to stand but Osvaldo kept her in place between his legs. "Stay still Penguin." He said calmly and she laid back down, her head resting on his almost exposed chest.

He was still angry at everything that happened tonight. All he wanted was to make his penguin sleep so that he could go lay his punishment on the Willard girl.

It was time he set boundaries. Because he had turned a blind eyes to their schemes before, they had almost killed his Penguin, while larvishing his money.

"What’s going on outside?" She turned to Osvaldo who blew her tea and brought the spoon next to her lips.

"Ahhh." He sang out without responding to her question and Penny just drank. She wasn’t a child to be fed like this, but she couldn’t complain because a part of her liked his gesture.

Though, how she had met Osvaldo wasn’t what she wanted today, the rest of the night was blissful.

"Those noises are not important Penguin. I’m just getting rid of pest, like I should have done." Osvaldo blew another spoonful of tea and brought it gently to her lips.

"How do you feel now?" He asked and Penny pressed her lips into a thin line.

She was better, atleast better than how she felt an hour ago. The feeling was still very much scary, Penny didn’t think she would be over it anytime soon.

"Better."

"It would have been better if you had gone to your father’s mansion like I asked."

She had no idea why, but Osvaldo seemed so different since his return. He seemed more reserved.

Was he upset with her?

"I... I was fine here..." Osvaldo brought another spoonful of tea to her lips and she drank it.

"Finish up, it’s getting cold." He said calmly, but Penny hugged him swiftly, the tea on the spoon, spilling on her. Luckily, it wasn’t so hot anymore, so she didn’t care about the burn.

Osvaldo who hasn’t expected her sudden hug froze.

"I’m sorry." Penny said. The last thing she wanted was Osvaldo returning from the trip angry at her.

"What are you apologizing for?" Osvaldo asked calmly a little confused at her action. He should be the one apologizing for not being there with her.

"F... For not listening." Penny said calmly and Osvaldo pulled her closer. He hadn’t meant to make her feel this way. It was his fault.

His penguin has every right to attend any event in the country. She should not feel sorry for attending events in his mansion. The Peterson’s should feel sorry for hurting his wife.

"I’m sorry for not being there to protect you enough from those fools. It’s my fault Penguin." Penny pushed herself forward and pressed her lips gently on his. Seeing him not react to her, she felt like she had done something wrong.

Did he not want her?

Was she not meant to? Maybe Osvaldo didn’t like her as much yet. She should not do too much yet.

They were not a couple yet...

"I’m sorry." She quickly said, her cheeks turning red as she tried getting off of him but Osvaldo held her before she could escale.

While Penny thought she had done something wrong, the man beside her was jumping for joy. It’s not everyday his silly Penguin initiates a kiss.

Or a peg...

"What for Penguin?" He asked teasingly.

"F... For kissing you without permission." Penny bit her inner cheek. She was a little embarrassed saying things like this to this man.

"Why do you need permission to kiss your husband Penguin?" Penny’s eyes was a little wide at his words. "I told you, I am you and you are me. I belong to you now Penelope." Her name on his lips...

She has no idea why it made her feel weird. Why was her heart beating so wild. She had thought it was a dream when Osvaldo called her by her name earlier, but now... It was real.

He knew her real name.

"Come here." He pulled her closer, spreading her thighs, so that her legs were wrapped around him. He placed both her hands around his neck and leaned down to take her lips with his.

Every swipe of his tongue on her lips made her heart flutter. Penny was drowning. Just when she thought Osvaldo was done kissing her, he deepened the kiss, stealing all of her breath.

How does a man who has never been out in his life know about intimacy. He kissed her better than Christian ever did.

By the time Osvaldo let her go, both people where already out of breath. Osvaldo wanted to continue. He had no idea, one day he would love to kiss someone as much as he did his Penguin.

"How did you know... All of these things?" Penny asked. She has been meaning to ask for a while now. She had no idea if she was inexperienced or if Osvaldo was just good at it.

"What things?" Osvaldo asked to see her eyes flutter. The drug he added to her tea was becoming effective.

"T... The kissgheisgvn." Penny dosed off. He smiled as he watched her.

His silly little Penguin. She has no idea what she has gotten into getting involved with a man like him. But he would do everything in his power to protect her.

Now, he understands why his father never once played with his mother. Was this feeling... Love?

Osvaldo laughed out at his own thoughts, wondering why he has been thinking of love lately. Did he forget so soon a monster like him cannot be in love?

Once he was done laughing at his foolish thought, he noticed how lightheaded he felt in that instant.

"Fuck." He muttered, tucking his penguin gently in bed as he hurried to his lab.

He had added something in her tea to help her sleep faster, while he dealt with the people that harmed her. But he had kissed her too and now, he’s a victim of the same substance.

Osvaldo hurried into the lab to get the antidote. He cannot fall asleep now. Not when he had people to deal with.

Once he reached, he opened the drawer where he kept the antidote and took a mouthful of it. It’s a good thing he always have antidote for whatever drug or poison he makes.

It would take a minute for the antidote to be effective but that was better than sleeping the entire night.

After a few minutes, he was up to his feet again, on his way out of the lab, Osvaldo was greeted by his old man.

Darlington had been battling with running stomach all night and only just got better now to be informed at the tragic accident that happened with his granddaughter in law.

He was scared and wanted to know how Penny was doing. If anything happens to that girl, the entire Adkins lineage will be over.

"You’re back?" He asked.

"I’m not a spirit." Osvaldo responded and he knew it was his grandson. So arrogant and rude. He eyed his grandson stylishly.

"Where is my Penny? I heard what happened, how is she?" Darlington’s worried voice rang and Osvaldo wondered if this was his grandfather or his Penguin’s.

Aren’t grandparents meant to care for their grandkids?

Why was his so different?

He should be asking about how his trip went, not about his woman.

"Tell me who hurt her. We cannot let them free this time Osvaldo. I can tolerate anything, but not anyone hurting my granddaughter"_"
