Daddy is going mad. Seriously. He pulled Penny so abruptly with me in her arms that my bottle fell. Also finally I was able to catch on some peaceful sleep after what seemed the longest time ever.
I start crying when I hear he wants to kill Marco right now. What if the text person decides to do something?
"Hushhhh baby hushhhh... It's Okay..." Penny tries to calm me down.
Penny's pov
I don't know what has gotten into my brother. Sansa is crying and Carlos is just talking about things which he shouldn't in front of Sansa!
He pulls Sansa from mine into his arms when her cries grow louder.
"Listen I am telling you this because you wanted to do it. If you don't just stay here with Sansa and I can do it, with pleasure." he tells me bouncing Sansa on his arms.
"Are you out of your mind saying all this in front of her?!" I whisper.
"We will take her along. I am not leaving her here alone!" he retorts.
"No fucking way on earth will we make her witness this? You are out of your mind brother. Let's just sleep over this, we can discuss this tomorrow morning." I try to reason with him.
But my brother who was really high on testosterone then was having none of it. No logic. No reason. And Sansa would not stop crying.
"I will go do it then!" he tells me and walks away. I shout at him to stop.
"No dadda... No kill Marco. He will hurt you and... pen. If you kill." Sansa manages in between her sobs.
We both look at her.
Carlos makes her sit on the bed and looks at her straight in the eye holding both her hands protectively in his.
"Nobody can hurt you or penny till I am alive. You understand that?" he tells her solemnly.
She nods.
"And you baby girl are in for a thrashing tonight." he adds and Sansa widens her eyes in fear.
"But that’s for later. We have a bigger fish to fry now. Are you coming?" he asks me.
"Yes but we are not taking Sansa. Gustavo will look after her. She will be scared Carlos. I don't want her to look at Marco." I tell him.
"He will be mad for being left out of the fun! He is waiting outside!! Manuela will look after her!
You are right she can't see Marcos the way he is. It will be too much for her. She will be scared." Carlos says finally.
Sansa would not stop crying when Manuela comes to take Sansa from her daddy's arms. She clings onto Carlos like a baby monkey.
"No leave... Daddaaa... Don't go please" her sobs breaks our hearts. But she is inconsolable.
"You want me to spank you on that already sore bottom of yours?" Carlos asks her sternly.
She shakes her head and keeps on crying.
"Then be a good girl for daddy and listen to Manuela. Daddy and Penny will be back soon. You go take a nap and daddy will be here when you wake up, Okay?" Carlos says.
"No dadda... Spank me. But don't go. Penny please stay. Something bad will happen. I can feel it. Please don't leave me alone. No go." she sobs.
I can't decide if she is in her head space or out of it. Truth be told I too don't have a good feeling about this.
"Carlos don’t you think we are rushing onto this?" I ask him one last time.
"No, come along now. I can't wait." he pulls me towards the door leaving a bawling Sansa with Manuela.
