Seeing Osvaldo walk into the dungeon alone was not only shocking, but impressive too. Everyone was astonished that the mad heir was finally standing up for himself again.

They all feel to their knees in respect to the last and only Adkins heir.

"The women in the cell, I want them in the pool right now." Osvaldo said and started walking away. All men went to work immediately, wondering what their boss wanted to do with them.

They have never known the Adkins to be bad people. They were good. That is why everyone always stepped on them.

They had imagined Osvaldo to be the same. For years, he had tolerated the Peterson’s wickedness. He had endured everything they did to him without a word to them. So why would he fight them now.

They moved to the cell, and dragged all four girls out, including Ariana who didn’t struggle with them like her friends did. They still didn’t understand the situation they were in.

No even God can save them from Osvaldo Adkins.

Maybelline and David who had left the Adkins resident earlier arrived home in the worst mood. After tonight, they would cut off all ties with the Petersons. They couldn’t allow their daughter be married to a nobody.

Christian Peterson was a nobody in the society. Someone the world didn’t want to be associated with anymore.

May thought Ariana had seen the humiliation and had returned him crying already. She was ready to console her daughter and find the next match for her.

"Welcome back Sir and Madam." The butler greeted with a bow.

"Where is Ariana I need to speak to her. Her marriage to the Peterson boy is over." May said in haste hurrying to her daughters room.

"We thought Ariana went with you." She paused again her butlers words and turned to look at him.

What did he mean by went with her?

She should be home by now. She hadn’t seen Ariana at the Adkins mansion when she checked and thought she was home already.

"What are you talking about?" May asked. Did her daughter run off somewhere?

"Miss Ariana is yet to return madam." The butler announced and May felt like her world was about to turn upside down. Where could her precious daughter have gone to?

What the hell is going on?

Everyone knows how much Ariana loved Chris, she must have been so heartbroken and didn’t want to return home. Maybelline frowned at her thoughts.

Abby and her family will pay for the pain they have brought to her Ariana. Ariana does not deserve all of this.

"But where could she have gone?" May asked.

"She’s probably in her friends place. She’d return by morning, you don’t need to worry." David said calmly to see her nod. He didn’t like when his wife worried like this.

May may have her worst side, but she was still his wife. His responsibility. He has seen her suffer for years and he just didn’t want to see her hurt anymore.

Back at the Adkins estate, the Adkins guards placed all four girls in the pool just as their master had instructed. And in that moment, the mad beast emerged from a corner. He stood at the far end, hands in his pocket as he stared at them.

"Drown them." He ordered and the guards stared at him with wide eyes. Did they hear correctly?

Did their master just ask them to drown people?

They didn’t wait for him to repeat himself, "Yes master." They all sang in unison and began their work. They held the girls by their neck, their hands and feet were still chained together to they couldn’t even fight their way out.

Ariana who was with one of the guards just stood quietly. She was just too shock to speak.

"What are you doing?" One of the girls panicked, she tried to struggle with them, but she couldn’t move.

"Ariana do something! Who’s that madman and why is he asking them to drown us?" Another asked.

They all know this was the Adkins home and Ariana was now an Adkins. Why would their guards kill their master. What the hell is happening?

The guards forced their head into the water and all girls began struggling. They shook like fishes brought out of water. This was inhumane.

Their hands were bound so they couldn’t move and they couldn’t breathe either.

Ariana could feel her lungs burn. She had drank more water than her stomach could carry. Ari had left her lungs and all three was was water.

Was this what death felt like?

It was so painful, she didn’t think she could endure for long. Ariana teared, but it mixed with the water.

She gave up trying, she was ready to join her ancestors. Her only regret is not telling her mother how much she loved her, or telling them that the madman had decieved them all this while.

"Bring them out." Just when she thought it was time to die, the guards brought her out again and Ariana struggled for air.

They dragged her out of the water along with the others.

"Take them to my fields, they cannot eat anything except grass. I’ll let them out when I’m ready." Osvaldo said coldly and his guards all bowed.

They watched him walk away till he was out of sight.

This was it, the water they had frowned them into had been infused with special chemicals, all four girls can no longer recall a thing that happened before tonight ever again.

His secret was safe and he has taken revenge for his penguin without actually tearing them to pieces of breaking their bone, or tying them into the shapes he found amusing.

This was a good improvement. This way, his Penguin would have no idea what had happened and she would never scold him for it. He smiled.

Once he was back in the penthouse, Osvaldo went in for a quick bath before settling on the bed with his penguin.

The moment his hands touched her, his little Penguin wrapped her arms around him. A small smile on her lips as she slept soundly.
