Chapter 1
A glamorous mansion. A room full of champagne, laughter, and people dressed like nothing could ever go wrong.
Then a waitress heard it.
Thump.
She stopped.
Thump. Thump.
The sound was coming from behind a massive painting.
When she pulled the frame away from the wall, she froze.
There was a little girl hidden in the darkness.
Her face was soaked with tears.
Her tiny hands were bound together.
And the first thing she whispered wasn’t, “Help me.”
It was:
“Please… don’t close it again.”
Then the woman who owned the house appeared behind them, holding a glass of champagne.
She looked at the terrified child.
Then at the waitress.
And calmly said:
May you like
“Put the painting back.”
What happened next exposed a secret no one at that party was supposed to see.
