Bold and foolish

'I always knew that this man was sick in the head,' Ari thought while clenching her fists in her lap. She had to get out of this place, but how? Samuel had stationed guards at every corner and corridor of this mansion. Even if she wanted to get out of this place, it was nearly impossible.

When she was lost in thought, Ari heard the sound of footsteps and then glanced at the maid who was bringing two bowls of mango ice cream which was going to be served as a dessert. 

Her eyes flickered and a bold —yet dangerous idea came to her head. Ari hoped that it would work because if she failed to pull it off, she would end up losing her life. Even though it was crazy, she wanted to try to escape from this place and not wait for Samuel to force his way with her. 

The maid came to a stop in front of the table before placing the two bowls of ice cream on the dining table in front of Ari and Samuel.
