Chapter 13: THE MADMAN’S BRIDE
"She’s leaving Barnaby." Hughes walked up to the man instructing the servants on what food to give the madman today.
"Who is?" He turned to the woman who looked so worried.
"The new mistress. She said wants a divorce." Hughes moved backward to avoid their mad master spitting all over her dress.
The madman was at it again, spitting everything in his mouth on the servants just for fun. Most times they get frustrated and other times, they just sigh.
"What is wrong with him today? Shouldn’t he be calm after how violent he was yesterday?" She spat.
That is how it has always been. One day violent, the next day calm. It’s like clockwork.
"He should, but Master Osvaldo looks a little more happy today," Barnaby said.
"What do we do about the girl, she wants to leave." Hughes changed the conversation. Panny leaving was much more important than Osvaldo acting normal or not. It’s not like he has ever been normal.
The last thing she wanted was to go through another punishment at the hands of Abby, Greg, or Chris.
"You have nothing to worry about Hughes. Focus more on preparing her, mistress would deal with the situation herself." Barnaby ordered and Hughes went on with his instructions.
They have suffered for far too long to keep suffering again. Now they have found the true bride of the madman, they would do anything to not lose her.
