Lewison Aubrey might as well have caused me an early death.
One that came far earlier than the five-year notice I had been granted.
All the panic and bravado that had been coursing through my veins vanished, leaving room for useless things like blood and oxygen.
I should have screamed and yelled and ranted some more, but I feared that Lewison’s father would make an appearance as well. I mean I had mentioned his title, and he appeared. I had mentioned his father’s title too and there was a chance that the man—monster could appear as well.
Clenching my hands at my sides, I straightened my spine and took a deep breath.
My lungs finally decided to cooperate with me.
The room fell silent as Lewison stepped inside and locked the door behind him.
So he was the one with the keys.
It was on
