Calm

Chapter 1

A waitress heard pounding behind a giant painting—and found a terrified little girl hidden inside the mansion wall. 💥

The party was still going.

Champagne glasses clinked.

Guests laughed beneath the chandeliers.

Then the waitress heard it.

Thump.

Thump. Thump.

She followed the sound to a massive painting and pulled it away from the wall.

Behind it was a dark hidden space.

A little girl was sitting inside.

Her hands were bound together.

Her face was covered in tears.

But instead of saying “Help me,” she whispered:

“Please… don’t close it again.”

Before the waitress could move, the mansion’s owner appeared behind her holding champagne.

She looked at the child without surprise.

Then calmly ordered:

“Put the painting back.”

That was when the waitress understood.

This woman already knew the girl was there.

And judging by the terror on the child’s face, she also knew exactly who had hidden her.

But the pounding behind the wall hadn’t stopped.

There was another sound coming from deeper inside.
