Butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth—or that was what everyone would think, Lucy concluded with relief as she caught sight of her face in one of the many palace mirrors. Dressed casually, plainly, so as not to attract attention, she was pushing Edward in his stroller down the long corridor leading to the grand entrance.

If the attending servants only knew what she had planned, but fortunately, their mind-reading skills were not as highly developed as those of their master, or they would have stopped her by now. Even so, her heart was thundering so loudly in her ears it muffled everything else. The thought of what she was about to do was terrifying.

Stealing a glance over her shoulder, she took in the crop-haired older man Kahlil had insisted must accompany her. He was a trusted member of the palace security team, and looked sharp. But that couldn’t be helped. She would have to try and find a way to outfox him.

She had to get out of Abadan. It was her only hope. She had to negotiate with the ruling family from a position of strength. She had no alternative but to carry out her plan, regardless of the hurdles Kahlil put in her way.

As the bodyguard loaded the stroller into the back of a Range Rover Vogue, Lucy double-checked the fastenings on Edward’s car seat, so that it would appear natural for her to just slip in beside him on the back seat. That way she could take careful note of every landmark they passed without drawing attention to herself.

Her passport was safely stowed away in her shoulder bag. Now all she needed was the opportunity to take over the four-wheel drive. Then she intended to make for the Embassy and seek sanctuary there with Edward until a flight home was arranged for her.

There were still a few loose ends to tie up on her existing design contract at the palace, Lucy remembered, chewing her knuckles with anxiety, but that couldn’t be helped. Edward’s future happiness was at stake, and their liberty. Nothing mattered compared to that. She would shoulder whatever consequences arose from the breach of contract in a safer environment…repay any money, do whatever it took.

Trying to calm herself, Lucy remembered she was supposed to be watching the road signs as they drew closer to the centre of the town; she had already missed quite a few. Sidelining her other concerns, she made herself concentrate on the direction they were taking. She spotted the flag marking the Embassy and relaxed a little. It shouldn’t be too hard to find again, even if it was dark by the time they left the shopping mall. There were plenty of road lights, and the town centre was clearly marked.
