“Mommy, what happened? Why was your phone signal jammed?” Matteo asked.
“That old man sent your father away again to base camp for training. I was so mad that I got into a fight with him, so he locked me up and jammed my phone.”
Sasha revealed everything to her kids because she thought it wouldn’t hurt for her kids to learn about her current situation.
She wasn’t worried about them being traumatized or anything. On the contrary, she thought they might even be able to help her.
Matteo flew into a rage upon that. “What a jerk!”
Ian’s face darkened. “Mommy, what are you going to do about it?”
“I need to get out of here first. That’s the only way I can reach your father. Once I know his exact location, your Aunt Sabrina and I can come up with ways to save him.”
“Okay!” Matteo and Ian replied easily.
Sasha hung up the phone.
After a few minutes, a shrill siren rang through the hall as the fire alarm went off. Everyone rushed outside to stare at the building Sasha was in anxiously.
“What is it? What happened? What set off the alarm?”
“I think it’s coming from the elevator!”
“What? The elevator?”
The color drained from everyone’s face upon hearing that. Some quickly picked up the fire extinguishers and rushed toward the elevator, while others went out to look for Tony.
True enough, the alarm sounded even louder as they got nearer to the elevator.
Oceanic Estate was equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, which included a fire alarm system, as it was previously used to host VIPs.
“What is going on here? Why did the alarm system go off? Is there really a fire?”
“No. Did someone smoke inside the elevator?” one of the housemaids asked.
However, no one had the answer to her question because they were met with water from the sprinkler system the moment the elevator doors were forced open.
No one saw anything whatsoever besides the waves of gushing water.
It was at that moment that Tony arrived. After assessing the situation, he instructed the housemaids to clean up the mess before heading to the study.
However, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
“Who opened the room door upstairs?”
