The Pirate Prince L.T

Captain Malik

Chapter 15

Lillian took a step backward; her eyes remained glued to the back of Louis's head as she slowly moved herself rearward.

This was it.

Gradually, she turned her whole body around, her heart beating faster at this.

She was finally getting away from Louis. At last, she'd be on the road to running away.

As Lillian prepared to extend her foot forward, she found herself freezing in place as Louis's voice was heard,

"Lilly?"

Lillian tried to mask all signs of guilt from her face right before she glanced over her shoulder to look at Louis who was watching her in what appeared to be annoyance,

"What the hell are you doing? Come on." The pirate captain grumbled with a wave toward her.

Smiling as innocently as possible, Lillian nodded, "I just really need to use the toilet... Do you know where it is?"

Louis groaned with a roll to his eyes and Lillian resisted the urge to take off her thick boot and just chuck it at the over confident twat's head. Was he really getting annoyed because Lillian had to use the restroom? Inconsiderate little shit.

It reminded Lillian why she needed to get away.

Louis didn't value her as a person at all. He saw her as an object. A pet.

Everything else be damned... She had to just get away.

"Go ask Cherry to show you the way... I can't keep putting Captain Malik off." Louis distractedly mumbled as he turned back around,

Lillian scowled with a nod, "Okay."

"Meet back up with me when you finish, I'll be through the door down the very end of this aisle."

"Okay." Lillian repeated out a bit more stressed than before.

She tried to stay casual, not show any signs of escaping on her face as she made her way toward the bar set up where the woman from before was still wiping the counter while humming tunelessly.

As Lillian approached, her eyes shot at the door, which was still being guarded by the heavily built man.

Knowing that the scene that would occur would be loud if she even attempted to escape through the front door, Lillian cleared her throat to the brunette that was cleaning.

"Excuse me, but can you point me in the direction of the restroom?" She politely inquired her hands moving to adjust the hat on top of her head for the umpteenth time,

While glancing upward, the woman pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear, "Down this hall," Her thumb jerked to Lillian's right, "Straight ahead, second door on your right."

"Thank you very much; I love your earrings by the way." She complimented with a smile before she returned the beam proudly while she moved out to touch the gleaming diamonds.

The moment her back was turned, Lillian rolled her eyes with a grimace.

She just needed to stay calm and get a plan together...

Maybe there was another way out... Like a back door?

If this place was some sort of underground-meeting place for criminals, surely they had an alternative exit in case the authorities tried to bust in or something.

When she reached the hall as she had been directed to earlier, she tried to remain cautious as she came upon the lavatory door. Taking the knob in hand, she slowly pushed herself in. The place was nothing fancy...More like a disgusting single toilet as the room wasn't too large on its own. The walls were so closely compacted that if Lillian extended both of her arms, they'd both touch the walls.
