Ethan's POV
I arrived home in the early hours the next morning. The plane ride took eight long hours because of a terrible weather pattern and a lot of turbulence. As I drove up to the mansion, every one of my household employees were lined up in front of the main entrance.
I got out of the car with rage and anger. "Where's Emma?" I yelled, daring anyone to answer my question without knowledge.
Their eyes only glanced at me.
I was furious. I needed answers and all they could provide was eye contact. My eyes landed on Halley. "Halley, where's Emma?" I asked again, controlling my anger.
"Sir, all I know is that she was in the room and then Sharon and your mom came after her."
"Where were you when they left with her?"
"They didn't leave with her. They had someone take her somewhere."
"Where were you?!"
She began to cry. "I was locked in the chambers."
I pushed past everyone and headed inside and upstairs to my bedroom. Things had been scattered around and the bed was unmade. I looked around carefully, hoping that I'd find something to lead me to her. I found pieces of broken glass on the floor next to the bed, and one of the sheets was missing.
Sam, my friend in the police force, came over to investigate and get statements. Apparently, my mom and Sharon knew I was out of town and waited for the perfect opportunity to sabotage my life. They had Halley locked up in the chambers and took away her phone. My two security officers were ambushed and held at gun point by three other men.copy right hot novel pub
