âMommy, what happened? Why was your phone signal jammed?â Matteo asked.
âThat 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.â
Sasha revealed everything to her kids because she thought it wouldnât hurt for her kids to learn about her
current situation.
She wasnât 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. âWhat a jerk!â
Ianâs face darkened. âMommy, what are you going to do about it?â
âI need to get out of here first. Thatâs 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.â
âOkay!â 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.
âWhat is it? What happened? What set off the alarm?â
âI think itâs coming from the elevator!â
âWhat? The elevator?â
The color drained from everyoneâs 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.
âWhat is going on here? Why did the alarm system go off? Is there really a fire?â
âNo. Did someone smoke inside the elevator?â 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.
âWho opened the room door upstairs?â
âHuh? I-Itâs me. Madam was yelling at the top of her lungs when the alarm went off. I was worried
something bad would happen to her, so I-I opened the door and let her out.â
As fate would have it, it was Olivia who did it.
Tony exploded with rage.
He rushed upstairs and stopped in front of Sashaâs room. True enough, she was long gone. Sasha had
disappeared into thin air while everyone was busy trying to figure out what was going on with the alarm
system.
That woman! Canât she ever give us a break?
â¦
Sasha managed to escape from Oceanic Estate.
She didnât look for Sabrina like she told her kids she would the moment she got out. Instead, she hailed a
cab and headed toward the military base.
She wanted to find out what was going on over there first before making a move.
Even though Jonathan had done it without hesitation, she was pretty sure someone must have seen
Sebastian being sent away.
Sasha stopped in front of the military baseâs entrance just like she did yesterday.
âExcuse me, Iâm looking for Commander Hamilton.â
Sasha had her disguise on as she spoke to the sentry to prevent them from finding out who she was and
reporting back to Jonathan.
However, the sentryâs face fell the moment he heard that she was looking for Logan.
âCommander Hamilton? Are you family?â
Sasha was stunned. âYesâ¦â
âYou should head over to the funeral home then. His body was sent there this afternoon. You might just
make it in time before they cremate his body if you leave now.â
The news came like a bolt out of the blue for Sasha.
Heâs⦠dead? What happened? Wasnât he alive and well just yesterday? Moreover, heâs so young and
full of life. He even joked around with us yesterday. How could this happen?
Sasha was thunderstruck.
She froze for a solid ten seconds before blurting out a question, âCan I⦠ask about his cause of death?â
The sentry stared at her, puzzled. âHavenât you heard of it? I thought youâre family.â
âI did, but⦠Iâm still not sure about it.â
âYouâre not sure? Do you mean to say youâre not sure why he died in the hands of his own man? If thatâs
so, you donât have to doubt it. That soldier truly does have mental problems!â
