After cleaning the kitchen, Olivia left the boy to explore the house while she took a shower and changed. She’d given him strict instructions not to go outside and to stay away from the windows, explaining that it wasn’t safe. Would Cain pose a threat to the boy? If he knew the child was Godfrey’s clone, would he hunt him like he hunted Godfrey? Surely, Cain would understand that the child isn’t Godfrey. He might look like him, but it didn’t mean he’d act like him. She could hide him, but where? The only suitable place was the orphanage she donated money to, but she’d hate to send the child away when his life had already been difficult. There was much to decide concerning the child’s future and wellbeing. What was Godfrey’s plan for his clone? What would become of the poor boy when he reached adulthood? She’d do everything in her power to protect the innocent life Godfrey had selfishly created in his own image.

With that resolution, she went in search of the child and found him in the study, poring over the books.

“I meant to ask,” she said, “how does your schooling work?”

“I do home schooling.”

She could do that. “What about hobbies? Do you have any interests?”

“I like books.”

“You can take anything you want from the library. We can set up an account for you to read books on a tablet. That way, you can order anything we don’t have here.”

He trailed his fingers over the spine of a book. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Until I’ve figured out how this is going to work,” she motioned between them, “we’re just going to play it by ear. We’ll work it out as we go along.”

He looked back at her and smiled.

“If you need anything,” she continued, “don’t hesitate to ask.”

“I won’t.”

“I’m going to look into some home schooling programs and then I have to work a bit. Will you be able to keep yourself busy?”

“Absolutely.”

“I’m in the lounge if you need me.”

She sat down on the sofa and opened her laptop. After reading several home schooling online sites, she shut down the computer and went to her studio. If she could only get this one painting right, maybe Godfrey would keep his word and set her free. Until this morning, freedom had seemed within reach. If Cain defeated Godfrey, he’d break the invisible chains that made her Godfrey’s prisoner. No more families had to die. No more children had to suffer cloning experiments. The world would be a safer place. But everything was different, now. There was a child to consider. Godfrey wanted her to help him kill Cain. If she didn’t do as he’d asked, would he make the child pay? That would be in character for Godfrey. It was exactly the kind of thing he’d do. If he’d been willing to have his own daughter murdered, how much worse would he do to his clone? To a man like Godfrey, a clone was more replaceable than a love child.
