I didn't think I would ever come to say that - but being a prisoner wasn't actually that bad. I was in a comfortable, nice, spacious room with an en-suite bathroom, equipped with a fireplace, cable TV, and a well-stocked library. I was brought three full meals a day, had a mini-bar and, if I needed anything, all I had to do was ask. They even provided me with a few changes of clothes.
For the first time in long while, I'd slept a sound sleep that night, without having to fear waking up with my throat slit by one of Callum's spies or being terrified about Meghan and our baby's (or babies? I still wasn't sure about that) fate: there, at Opal Lake's, I was safe - if only because I was a valuable hostage and came in handy.
But hey, anything was good for staying alive, right?
