It’s been three whole days since Penny left the penthouse and she hadn’t seen anyone. Not even Barnaby or Hughes visited. Just as Osvaldo had said she was fat from everyone.

She has been isolated from everyone.

Penny still wanted to believe it was for the better. She still wanted to believe Osvaldo was doing it for her good and that he only looking out for their child. Penny thought to convince him that it was alright and that was not how Pregnancy worked.

She sat up in bed stretching slightly as she yawned. She had only just awaken from her nap and was already a little tasty when Osvaldo stepped in.

"How are you feeling?" He stood by the door, resting his side by the door as he spoke to her. Osvaldo has tried everything to make her take the drugs. But his Penguin seems even more stubborn for some reason.

At first he thought Hughes must have told her the truth or that she knew he wanted to be rid of the bastard child, but why would she still want to be close to him if she knew he wanted to harm her child.

Maybe it was time he stopped trying to give her the abortion pills. He could just give her the womb destroying pills. Only that that one would be a lot more painful since it would be attacking her womb and the baby at once.

"Perfect." Penny whispered sliding the blanket off her body as she ran to him. He loved everytime his Penguin gets this bold. For some reason, it turns him on in a way he couldn’t explain. But the thought of a child growing him her, irritated him.

"Osvaldo." Penny reached for him, two little hands grabbing his collar and pulling him into a little kiss, but he stopped her before their mouth could meet. He needed to be rid of the child and quickly.

"Not now, Penguin, let’s get you something to eat to fatten you up a little." He picked her from the floor and started walking towards the dining room.

Stunned Penny his her face in his body. Osvaldo has never rejected her before, this seems so new. Was he already so tired of her?

She knew being locked away with just him and spending all of her day with him was a bad idea. Maybe it was time she proposed they loved with other people.

When they reached the dinning area, penny was greeted with lots and lots of food by the table. She had no idea how they were meant to eat all of it. They were just two, and Osvaldo barely ate anything since she met him. If anything, she eats more than he does.

Already feeling embarrassed and dejected, Penny sat quietly on the table, adjusting her bum on the chair.

Osvaldo took his place next to her, and started dishing out his food, but he realized that his Penguin had barely touched anything. Maybe indeed he had overreacted. Maybe she’s noticed his distance, and the last thing he wanted was the fighting at a time like this, Penny will definitely not take anything from him.

"You’re not eating Penguin?" He asked gently.

"I suddenly lost my appetite." Penny said staring at just her plate.

"Are you angry I refused to kiss..."

"... Osvaldo I think we both need to go back to the penthouse. I don’t like being locked in here. Being with other people..."

"No." He cut her off immediately. It wasn’t yet time, he could risk it yet. He had a mission and needed to act fast. Abortion pills had time limits and then it becomes a problem when the fetus develops further.

"I already told you, I’m tired of everyone having access to what’s mine." Penny scoffed. He wanted her away from everyone else, yet was growing so tired of her.

Waking up to breakfast and sleeping after that till evening was not what she was built for. She wasn’t the lazy type. She had a science contest to prepare for, she had the lab results to get from her team who knew if they haven’t already sent the results from the samples she gave them.

Right now, penny believed a little of everything Hughes had told her. Maybe her housekeeper wasn’t wrong. Why would Osvaldo want her away from the others?

Why would he want to cage her in here.

"Fine, if you’re tired of staying indoors, we’ll go for a walk this evening okay." Osvaldo suddenly said and she turned to look at him.

"Promise." Penny asked to see him nod. Then he tilted his head, lips pressed in thin line as they met hers, gentle and calm. Penny’s cheeks turned pink in an instant. She would never get used to Osvaldo being intimated with her. Not in this lifetime.

"Now, let’s eat Penguin. Remember you’re not eating just for you." Osvaldo said with a smile and she smiled back. He was right. She had a whole human growing in her at the moment.

Osvaldo didn’t hate her, he was only looking out for their child. He only want what’s best for their child. She had been stupid to believe her housekeepers words for even a second. Osvaldo can never hurt her, not in this lifetime or the next.

"Penny picked the vegetables and was about to place it in her mouth when she saw him pouring a golden substance in her glass. It resembled one of the drugs Hughes had showed her. The one for womb rupture.

That’s true, she needed to confirm from her team that they weren’t harmful before she could consume them. Not that she believed Hughes, but she had promised to test Osvaldo for one week. She wanted to be sure she wasn’t trying to kill her.

Hughes and Osvaldo are one of the few people she trusted the most. It was really draining seeing them both turn against each other.

"Have you seen any delivery for me?" Penny asked the man beside her.

"Hmm, a mail came in yesterday. I was about to read it, but I got carried away with work." Osvaldo said.

"Where is it?"

"In the lounge. We’ll read it together after dinner." Penny shook her head.

"No need, it’s important to me. I don’t want you reading it. I’ll be back shortly." She rose from where she sat and headed towards the lounge.
