"Mr. Douglas, the earnings for this quarter-"

Ethan was in the midst of a meeting when his phone suddenly rang.

The conference room fell silent, deathly so.

A collective anxiety swept through the attendees, wondering who had the audacity to not only forget to put their phone on silent but even bring it into an internal meeting...

While everyone nervously exchanged glances, Ethan pulled out his own phone.

A collective sigh of relief followed.

Ethan's brow furrowed as he glanced at the unfamiliar number-only a few knew his personal cell.

"Hello?"

On the other end of the line, a tear-choked voice pleaded, "Daddy, come save me, please..."

It was Justin, sobbing and begging for help.

In the unnerving quiet of the room, everyone stared in shock at Ethan.

Since when did Mr. Douglas have a kid? Was he secretly married?

Ethan felt a tightness in his chest as he heard the crying on the phone; he stood up abruptly.

With a gesture for the Vice President to continue the meeting, he strode out quickly. "Justin, what's happened?"

"They set the house on fire, I'm scared..." Justin's voice came in broken sobs. "Daddy, they hit me, there's so much blood, I can't stop it. They hit Uncle too; his hands are drenched in blood... Mom's gone."
