CHAPTER 16

GENEVIEVE

After Mouth leaves the room, I manage to sit up. It takes all my strength since my arms are bound behind my back, but I feel less vulnerable when I’m upright.

He’d asked me if I was wet when he’d touched me. The thing is, I was. He makes me feel things I shouldn’t. He makes me want things I shouldn’t want. I don’t believe Mouth is going to kill me any longer, but he does plan on killing my father still, and that scares me. Dad can’t protect himself. He wouldn’t even recognise Mouth if he saw him and would have no idea why he was being harmed.

Death isn’t something that scares me. Even my own.

The end comes for us all.

If now is my time, then I’ll face it with dignity.

That’s not to say I won’t fight.

I will.

But I’m terrified of my dad dying.

I rub my thighs together, the heat between them uncomfortable. I need release, but I’m not getting it from Mouth. I’ll never let that monster between my legs, even though my body craves his touch.

What’s wrong with me?

I sit on the edge of the bed and slide my bound hands under my bottom before feeding my legs through. My wrists are now tied in front of me, but it doesn’t help my situation much, but at least I can fight if I need to.

And I have to fight. It’s only a matter of time before Mouth discovers my father is in an assisted living facility and that he has no clue about his previous life. He wants to kill Desmond Fletcher, but he has no idea he died twelve months ago.

His gradual slip into dementia was barely noticeable at first, but once it took root it did it quickly. I barely know the man I visit anymore. There are no conversations in the middle of the night around mugs of cocoa. There’s no buffer between me and Mum. She despises me and she’s shown that more and more since my father’s rapidly declining health. In truth, I’m surprised she kept silent about it, but my mother isn’t stupid. She knows if it gets out her position as queen of the docks will be usurped. She won’t allow that. She’s used to the lifestyle she has, and she’ll defend it to the death—even my death.

I never doubted for a single moment my father loves me.

I doubt it every day with my mother.

I push up off the bed and slip my remaining heel off. I lost the other one somewhere between the kill room and here, and Mouth hadn’t stopped to pick it up. Annoying, as these are my favourite pair.

I go to the door. I’d heard Mouth lock me in, but I try the handle anyway. I tug it as hard as I can, but it doesn’t move.

Fuck.

I don’t have the strength to bust it open.

Feeling desperate, I move to the window and try to get that open. It does open, but only a few inches—not enough to climb out of it.
