「Two months ago.」
A cruise ship sailed smoothly across the sea, in a room at the end of a third-deck cabin hallway.
Mia Grant watched as the door shut right in front of her. It was followed by a CLICK as the lock was thrown from the outside.
Her eyes were red as she pounded on the door. "Let me out! You bastards!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Grant. We can't let you out without the master's orders."
A row of bodyguards stood guard outside.
'Just how worried were they that I'd escape?'
Furious, Mia Grant started smashing things.
A continuous series of CRASHES and SMASHES echoed from the room, accompanied by a few "kind" wishes.
The bodyguards remained unmoved, standing silently outside the door.
On the other side of the door, Mia Grant grew tired of the act. She tossed another vase for good measure, then fell back onto the bed, panting.
'I can't believe how heavy this cabinet is.' She had used all her strength just to push it behind the door.
