"Where the hell have you been Penny? You know if you don’t know the use of a cellphone you should go learn one." Ariana started ready to pour out all of her anger on her elder sister.

Her life was at stake here. Her parents and the Adkins cannot find out she is dumb.

"What is it, Ariana?" Penny asked calmly, ignoring her sister’s rudeness. She hadn’t wanted to pick up Ari’s call, but she was bored.

Having been locked in the penthouse for three days now, Penny was tired of talking to herself and staying all alone in the room.

Though after the first night, Osvaldo never returned to bang on her door, but she was too afraid to step out. That night had been terrific. Osvaldo didn’t stop banging, neither did he stop begging. He hunted her more than anything.

At some point, she was tempted to open, but having recalled everything that happened that evening, she didn’t think she was ready to see him.

"Are you done with my project fat pig?" Ari asked.

"Of course I am. Do you want me to send it over?" Penny asked sweetly.

"What else would you do dumbo? I hope you did it very well Penny. If I fail, I’ll make sure I kill you. Like I said that project is the only thing that would make me see Doctor P. I need to pass so that I can be his student." Ariana said.

"You’ve said this a thousand times already. I’m pretty sure I know by now what the project is for." Penny said.

"But what makes you think Doctor P would pick you to be her student?" Ariana frowned at her sister’s words.

How dare this illiterate try to jinx her?

"You seem to have forgotten your place, Penelope. Just because you help me with my project doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m doing." Ariana said.

"If I need anyone to tell me about my life, you would be the last person you fool."

"Don’t think because you’re married to that mad fool and now in charge of his wealth you’re important Penelope. You’ll always be a stupid illiterate to me."

"Of course. So why did you call Ariana?" Penny asked.

"Mother-in-law had an illness. Her legs are itchy and smelly. Her drugs are yet to arrive, I need a remedy that can keep her going through the night." Ariana said.

"Well, you can figure it out yourself, right? You’re learned and smart." Penny laughed.

"What are you saying, Penelope? I’m not asking for your help, I’m ordering you." Ariana said.

"But what would an illiterate know? If you, a doctor in the making have no idea about it, why do you think a stupid illiterate like me would?" Penny asked.

"Ariana, you’re a big girl now. You can handle your own problems yourself. I don’t think you need me."

"No... that’s..." Penny hung up before Ariana could say anything further. She tried calling over and over but it all led to voice notes.

Ariana clenched her fist in anger, her manicured nails digging into her palm. She will deal with Penny so much when she’s done dealing with Abby.

Ariana walked back towards the room where the rest of the family was. She had already thought it through and knew what to say to them. She’ll find a way out of this mess, with or without Penny.

"... How do we know for sure she’s not a quack?" Abby hissed.

"That’s too harsh mother. Ari treated the madman remember." Chris defended his wife.

"Where you in the room with her?" Abby shot at him.

"Abby, I would appreciate it very much if you don’t speak I’ll of my daughter. Ariana has helped your family a lot." Maybelline spoke out for her daughter.

Ariana glared at her mother-in-law stylishly. If she wasn’t pretending to be a good girl, she would have given this fool a taste of her own medicine.

Ariana closed the door behind her a little harshly, to announce her presence and everyone stopped speaking.

"Did you get the drugs, Ariana?" Chris walked up to her and she shook her head.

"It seems all of the pharmacies have gone out of stock. The creme I ordered is out of stock too. I’m sorry Mother." Ariana said pitifully.

"I’m not a quack. I’m sorry for trying to help you tonight Mother." She said and strapped out of the room. Chris and the rest of the family ran out with Ariana. They each frowned at Abby, not liking her reaction. But Abby cared less.

"Yes go away all of you. Follow her away!" Abby cried out still scratching her legs.

She was dying, hurting Ariana was the least of her problems.

"That’s alright Ariana, don’t cry." Chris tried to console his wife. Even he believed his mother was being ungrateful to Ariana who was only trying to help.

"You should put your wife in order, Greg. I will not have her disrespecting my daughter the way she did." May said to Greg.

"I’m sorry Mrs Willard. I’m sure, Abby only said it because she’s going through pain. I don’t think she means any harm." Greg apologized.

He had no idea why Abby was acting that way to Ariana. She had helped their family too. This young girl was willing to be married to that madman just to see that they were okay.

Abby has no right to insult Ariana ever again.

"Don’t worry, Ariana, I’ll talk to mother. This nonsense has to stop." Chris said.

"Don’t do that. I’m sure she didn’t mean it. She’s hurting Chris, she probably said those things because of the pain she felt." Ariana stopped him. She didn’t want further problems.

She was only acting this way because she wanted to be free from helping Abby tonight. She couldn’t let them know her history.

"That’s fine. If it’s okay, can you tell me the name of the cream you ordered, I need to check if my supplier has it." Chris asked and Ariana turned stiff again.

"The problem is that the drug hasn’t been approved yet. It’s straight out of the lab." Ari said calmly.

"I understand," Chris said calmly.

Ariana smiled. She was glad to have been able to fool them all. As for Penny, she would make her pay for everything she did tonight.
