After coaxing the kids, Charlotte dialed Zachary’s number, but his phone was still switched off.

She glanced at the date and confirmed that there were three days left until the day they were supposed to meet up.

Why isn’t Zachary answering his phone? He hasn’t been in touch for a while. What’s going on?

Panic surged in her heart. Both his most trusted assistants can’t be reached. What the heck is going on?

A minute later, she tried dialing Raina’s phone. Raina was her last hope.

The dial tone rang for a long time. Just as Charlotte was about to hang up, the call was connected. “Ms. Windt!” A familiar voice sounded over the line.
