Not once did I stop to question Elize. I didn’t ask her why she helped me or how she managed to sneak us out of the mansion.

Troy warned me that his guards were everywhere, but no one tried to stop us or came out of the shadows to drag me back to my room.

We didn’t leave through the front gate. Instead, Elize directed me down a bumpy, barely-there driveway, which led to a locked gate at the back of the estate.

The guards on duty were fast asleep. Elize snuck into the guardhouse, retrieved a set of keys and unlocked the heavy gate. It swung open with a loud squeal that shattered through the night air, and I thought for sure that screaming gate would wake at least one of the guards, but they happily kept snoring away.

I didn’t relax until Haverton was far in our rear view. Afraid that Troy would track my phone, I switched it off and used Elize’s phone to map a route
