Chapter 68: A Cage That Smiles
So, after that night, a few more days had passed…
When Danielle woke up to the sound of silence, she immediately noticed that there were no employees around and especially no father.
She sat up slowly and rubbed her temples.
Every morning felt more dragging than the one before.
Standing up and walking to the door, pulling it open, Danielle was looking for that one person.
The hallway was too weird and too empty. She saw one guard at the end, leaning against the wall, and being half asleep.
"Where is my father" she asked.
The guard straightened. "The President left early, ma'am. Political trip. Four days."
Four days! Without Elias…
Her heart did not know if it should feel relief or fear.
She walked away and found Theo in the main living room already in uniform. He was just near the large windows, watching the road outside like a predator waiting for movement.
Danielle crossed her arms. "I want to go out."
Theo did not turn around. "No."
