CHAPTER 15 How did I get myself into this?

  Genevieve's POV

  I quickly ducked behind the door when Lorenzo turned around at the sound of my scream. My heart was beating fast against my ribcage, bile rose in my throat as I placed a hand over my mouth.

  I heard his footsteps slowly advancing towards the door as I dashed away from the basement door as the young girl's sorrowful cries drifted around the basement.

  I quickly climbed up the stairs and headed out the door, running past the garden towards the mansion's front door. I turned around to see if Lorenzo was following behind me but I didn't see him.

  Opening the front door, I headed inside climbing up the stairs, my heart thudding in my chest, my breath coming out in short pants as I opened my bedroom door and entered locking the door behind me.
