I had fully expected the car to take us back to the administrative block, but instead, it turned in a completely different direction.
We drove away from the main resort area and pulled up to a massive white gate that opened into a huge private estate.
The property was incredible. A long stone driveway curved around a giant marble fountain that splashed water under the soft lights.
The night had gotten very dark, casting long shadows across the grass, but the rain had finally stopped, leaving everything quiet and wet.
When the car door opened, the cold air hit me. I was shivering violently because my clothes were completely soaked, and I wrapped my arms around myself to try and stay warm.
The guards didn't say a single word as they led me toward the front of the mansion. Gerald was already waiting inside the warm house.
I kept my head down as I followed the guard into the large entrance hall, where a few maids were waiting with dry towels and fresh clothes.
