ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO A MAD BILLIONAIRE-Chapter 36: WRATH OF A MADMAN 2

The lounge turned so quiet that one could hear the sound of pin dropping. Everyone stood frozen in place as they watched the mad man pick a slipper from the floor.

Osvaldo held it like it was the crown jewel of the universe. His silver eyes glinted with a wild sort of joy, like a child who’d just found buried treasure in the backyard. The air grew tense as he turned it over in his hands.

Nobody dared move. Even the maids stepped back slowly, like prey tiptoeing around a predator. They knew this look. Oh, they knew it too well.

Their master had entered that phase again.

The crazy phase. At this point, Osvaldo had morphed into someone else.

Maybelline’s lips parted. "You will pay if anything happens to..."

"SHHHHH." Osvaldo spun to her so fast she jumped. "Don’t ruin it. Don’t ruin the moment."

He started to laugh. A dry, broken sound that rose from his chest in stuttering hiccups. "Hehehehe... slippers. Yes. Yes. You hit me with slippers. That’s so funny. That’s... that’s so funny I could vomit!"

He suddenly bent over, gagging as if wanting to throw up.

Everyone stared at the madman like a movie. But most of all, Abby was shocked he spoke.

He knew how to speak? It was so surprising, for someone that hasn’t spoken to anyone in years.

But the maids were not surprised. This was another ordinary day for their madmaster.

Penny flinched. "Osvaldo..."

He snapped upright.

"I’m fine." He smiled. "It’s just the rage. It tastes like metal today." he smiled again, teeth widen this time.

"Hmm hmm hm hmm." He hummed a song flipping the slippers in his hands.

"Mine, hit. Hit mine." He laughed.

And then suddenly, his smile dropped. Hands straight, leg’s straight as he stood erect. Like the battalions.

His face blanked out completely. Like a switch was flipped. And then...

"Mine hit. Hit mine." He laughed again lifting his hands as he aimed at May’s face. Her eyes turned wide in horror.

"Mine hit. Hit mine." He said again, voice flat as stone. Then... Wham!! ... he hurled the slipper straight at May’s face like a heat-seeking missile.

She yelped as it smacked her right between the eyes, sending her stumbling back and landing hard on the floor.

Osvaldo clapped like he’d just won an Olympic medal. "BULLSEYE!" he sang.

May rolled a full three times before hitting a chair.

"Maybelline!" Abby shrieked and sprinted over, grabbing her friend like a wounded soldier.

The maids? They were wheezing. Silent laughter echoed off the walls. It was like watching a live telenovela. And better yet, their mad master wasn’t even violent tonight, just dramatically unhinged. For once, it was kind of fun.

"PENNY!" Maybelline shrieked, swaying like she’d just gotten off a rollercoaster. She clutched her side dramatically. "You bitch!"

Blood trickled from her nose.

"I swear I’ll kill you today!"

Abby looked horrified. "Aren’t you supposed to tame him?! Do your damn job!"

But Penny didn’t even blink. Osvaldo was dancing now, yes, dancing, around them, barefoot, wild-haired, and completely, gloriously insane.

They should run.

This was his most dangerous state. The servants were impressed at how these two women have singlehandedly unlocked almost all the phases of their boss in one night.

They should have run. But it was too late. He’d already blocked the exit, practically daring them to try.

Abby’s face paled. "This was a mistake. This was a huge mistake," she whispered.

Abby knew it was a bad idea coming here. Her guards were not even around to help her tonight, and Penny didn’t look like she would help them.

She’d make sure she gets this fat bitch out of their family if she makes it out alive today. She will never let Osvaldo get too attached to her.

Penny will kill them all.

"I’m afraid our master is untamable at this point," one servant said, lips twitching. "You both laid hands on his property. He’s very... possessive of our new mistress."

Possessive was one way to put it. Osvaldo was obsessed with Penny.

He’d never let them steal the one thing that matters to him. He’ll never let Penny leave.

"Y-you two should leave before he..."

"Out... out... OUT!!!" he screamed, silencing the servant.

Maybelline stumbled backward. Abby tripped over a rug.

Osvaldo dropped to the floor on all fours and began crawling toward them, smiling, laughing like a maniac.

He was a maniac, a toxic one.

He chased after them and both women ran like criminals.

"PENNY!!" Maybelline screamed like a banshee.

But Penny didn’t move.

She just watched him. The man everyone called a monster... shielding her like a wild dog protecting its only bone.

Her eyes moistened as she watched Osvaldo chase them. No one has ever cared for her like this, no one has protected her this way before.

Today, they were seeing the full display of madness.

When they reached the door, they realized it has been locked. It turns out Hughes had just arrived when she saw May slap her madam. She had heard of all the hurtful things she said to her new mistress and didn’t like it at all.

She wanted to intervene, but her master already did.

Normally, Hughes would rush in to protect the victim, but tonight. She let her master display his madness and had secretly locked the door while they argued.

"RUN!!!!" Osvaldo screamed again, running towards them with both hands raised high as he chased them.

Abby was breathless, she had run around the lounge more than ten times, just circling the room and Osvaldo wasn’t relenting.

May on the other hands felt like she could faint anytime soon. Her legs had turned weak, body giving up already. But the chase continued.

Osvaldo finally conered both women eyes bright under the chandelier. Maybelline fell to her knees immediately, she clapped her hands together in surrender.

"Penny please forgive me. I’m your mother Penny, please stop him. I don’t want to die." May pleaded inaudibly because she was pit of breath. Her entire body vibrating with fear.

Osvaldo’s playful nature was gone, now replaced by another thing. He looked like a monster, like a beast ready to devour them.

"Penny please show us mercy. Please Penny." Abby pleaded already peeing in her pants as she stared at the madman. This was the most embarrassing thing ever but she cared less.

Osvaldo inches closer and both women dug the wall, trying to hide in it. One shoving the other forward as they tried to save themselves first.

This was too funny for Penny. She was having a good time. For some reason she didn’t want this to end.

Osvaldo towered over them, legs already wide, hands in his pants as he loosened the rope. In the next second salty liquid spilled on them.

"NEAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Maybelline screamed, arms flailing. Abby sobbed, trying to dodge but slipped and landed on her friend. Both people drenched in the golden arc of pure vengeance.

Once he was done, he smacked his lips arranging himself again and started walking away.

Maybelline and Abby didn’t wait for anyone to tell them, they dashed out of the Penthouse.
