CHAPTER SEVEN

ANTOINE

"How do you know how to do all of that?" Camilla asks, looking at me rolling up the sail.

I smirk. I have done this since I was six years old. We went sailing each weekend: the whole family together with snacks for us and wine for our parents. I learned how to sail before I learned how to write.

"Well, you know, it's the French Riviera: you always know someone who knows someone with a boat," I say, smiling at her, and she smiles back. "And you should be ready for anything destiny prepares for you." I wink and turn away to finish what I started, hoping she won't ask any more questions.

I just don't want to lie to her. I already told her that this yacht belongs to someone I know, which isn't exactly a lie, but usually, if a boat is your father's, you don't call him 'someone I know.'

I can't tell her that sailing is just another activity for me, like horse riding, tennis, and golf. Dad wanted me to be prepared for any business meeting I could have in the future. And in a large business like ours, negotiations usually take place far from the office.

Luckily, it's not that hot today, so we can enjoy the view of the French Riviera from the upper deck without being blinded by the sun. I wanted to do something special for Camilla's birthday, so I prepared a ride on a yacht with dinner afterward. I asked Paul, our concierge, to get rid of her annoying family and schedule a weekend trip to Corsica to one of our resorts. I said it must be a three-person trip only. I knew they wouldn't take Cami with them even though it was her birthday.

Paul pretended it was a gift from the hotel and a lottery between guests. I don't know all the details, but they bought it. It's a free trip; who would decline? Moreover, Paul insisted that the night in L'Eden Resort would be prolonged. Cami still doesn't know it was me; she thinks it's a lucky coincidence.

They flew away this afternoon on our private helicopter, and they'll be back only after tomorrow, which means we'll spend the whole two days (and nights) together. To say that I'm happy is to understate my joy. It's the perfect time to get to know Camilla better and finally confess to her who I am.

"Do you need a driver's license to do this?" she asks when I finally finish rolling them and turn to face her again.

"Yeah, you do, just like for a car." I nod and take a seat next to her. "There are different categories, which depend on your driving experience and the size of the boat you work on."

"Really? Do you have one?"

"Of course I do." I open the small refrigerator built into the table next to the sofa we’re sitting on and pull out a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne, two glasses, and a bowl of strawberries.

"When did you? How..." Camilla tries to ask a question but stops, lost for words.
