CAMILLE
When Grave didn’t come for me, I feared he’d knocked his head against the
hull of the ship and drowned. I was so happy when I escaped his grasp and
found Cauldron, and I could hardly believe that I regretted that decision.
Grave was a fucking walk in the park compared to this asshole.
I tried to escape a few times, creeping through the house to the front door, but
now Hugo locked my bedroom at night, so I was stuck there until morning.
My phone was taken away so I couldn’t call for help. Couldn’t figure out if
Grave was still alive.
My only way out of there was the patio. I was three stories off the ground,
and a fall would probably break a leg and an arm, might even kill me, but it
was my only way out at this point. Cauldron and I hadn’t set eyes on each
other since our conversation after the yacht party, and perhaps he hoped
distance would make my heart grow fonder.
Not a chance.
I took all the sheets off my bed, even my pillowcases, and knotted the corners
to make a rope. I tied one end to the bars that wrapped around the outside of
the patio and gave it a couple tugs with my hands. When I looked over the
edge, I saw a couple pots of flowers and the cobblestone path that wrapped
around the property. If I jumped down and the sheets came apart…that would
be a nasty fall.
Real nasty.
“Maybe I should think this through…” I stared at the ground for a while
before a brilliant idea sprang into my mind. I returned to the bedroom and
pulled the mattress off the top of the bed and pushed it onto the balcony.
Anyone directly below me could probably hear all the ruckus I was making,
but there seemed to be no one there. Otherwise, they’d have come running by
now.
I tipped the mattress over the edge and tried to aim it as best as I could before
it slipped and fell forty feet below. For something so soft, it made a distinct
thud when it struck the ground. I sucked in a breath between my closed teeth
and listened, hoping no one had heard that.
It was as silent as ever. “Phew.”
I tugged on the sheets again before I climbed over the rail and prepared to let
my feet leave the edge. I looked down again before I took a deep breath. A
girl like me wasn’t afraid of much, but even with a mattress below, I could
break every bone in my body…and then I’d never get away.
“Are you fucking crazy?”
He appeared in the open doors of the patio, shirtless in his sweatpants, pissed
off.
“Shit.” There was no time to dawdle, so I released the edge and put all my
weight on the sheets.
