Charlotte couldn't escape … from the prison Raymond put her in or from the dark love she found with him. Especially when she realized that the darkness was inside her too...
Charlotte:
I ran away from my crap life of stripping and living with my father in a trash heap of a trailer. 
I thought I was headed toward freedom but I woke up in another prison. 
A prison that was built just for me.
He knows things about me that no one should.
He sees things in me that I can’t see.
I don’t want to be here.
But I don’t want to leave him either. 
He’s a monster for keeping me prisoner.
But I’m a monster too for loving the dark, dirty things he does to me. 
Raymond:
I know I messed up. 
I’ve been alone in this house for far too long.
Alone except the servants that skulk around in the darkness.
But then I found Charlotte and I had to have her. 
I had to take her. 
I have to make her mine.
Now I don’t want to live without her.
But if I can’t convince her to stay …
they won’t let either one of us live.
