CAMILLE
It was the perfect night.
Million-euro Bugattis, bright-yellow Ferraris, and a few Lamborghinis pulled
up to the Parisian estate. Rich people in tuxedos and gowns stepped out, and
they let the valets take their cars away. The three-story palace was lit with a
golden glow, the fountain in the center splashing with a gentle backdrop of
water.
When my driver pulled up to the front, I felt my heart tighten like a fist.
Would the black wig disguise me?
The bright-red lipstick?
The green contacts?
Would he see right through the charade?
The door opened, and Raymond helped me out of the car.
I recognized him.
But he didn’t seem to recognize me.
Hidden in the crowd of aristocrats, I emerged into the downstairs parlor,
immediately swallowed by waiters with trays of bubbly champagne and
triangles of bruschetta. I had business to take care of, but that didn’t stop me
from grabbing a flute and a slice of bread. I enjoyed both, my eyes scanning
for the man of the hour.
It didn’t take me long to find him.
As if he had the focus of a spotlight, he was surrounded in that golden glow,
a shine to his eyes. A woman was at his side, a petite brunette who had her
arm tucked in his, looking up at him like every word he said was utterly
fascinating.
His dark hair was slicked back, and his dark eyes looked like fresh espresso
first thing in the morning. Instead of holding a flute of champagne, he held a
glass of scotch. It was a power move—like everything else he did.
Rich. Powerful. Handsome.
Every man wanted to be him. Every woman wanted him to be her husband.
But he wasn’t quite what he seemed.
I knew the mansion like the back of my hand, so I snuck away from the
crowd, keeping my eyes on the butlers to make sure they were distracted, and
then made my way upstairs. My heels tapped against the hardwood, but the
sound of violins seemed to muffle it. The brightness of the chandeliers
disappeared as I arrived on the second floor. The music and conversation
were lower, like someone turned the dial on a stereo.
The second floor seemed vacant.
I left my empty flute on the nearest surface then continued up to the third
floor.
The anxiety worsened, because now that I was so close to my goal, I was
more terrified of losing it. I put my life on the line for this, but it was worth it.
I crept to the third floor, careful to remain quiet even though no one was
around. My breaths grew louder and labored because my lungs weren’t
getting the air they needed. I turned down a couple hallways until I found the
spot.
