The victim of a man who had not only deceived and cheated her, but then tried to tie her to his crime too. Poor Celia, Lady Em thought, as she prepared for bed. I’m glad I gave her the necklace. It will be more secure in the Captain’s safe.

Suddenly an overwhelming sense of exhaustion washed over her. I guess I will be able to sleep for a while, she thought, as she began to drift off.

“I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe—” she tried to say. Desperately, she tried to push away the obstacle that was smothering her, but she was not strong enough.

As she began to lose consciousness, her last thought was that the curse of the Cleopatra necklace had been fulfilled.
