Panic gripped the hallway as guests fled in terror for their lives. Several guards yelled, directing the panicked people to leave the mansion. Amidst the chaos, a couple clung to each other. Despite being protected by four large bodyguards, the woman was visibly trembling.
"Why is this happening? Why are they attacking us? Did we do something wrong?" Anna couldn't hold back her tears.
Steve bit his lip, trying to comfort his wife by holding her tighter. Today was supposed to be their son's birthday party, a joyful occasion.
The wife pulled away from her husband's embrace as a guard with sweat on his forehead approached them.
"Where are the children? Did you find them?" Anna asked with hope.
But the guard shook his head, fading the hope on Anna's face. She then returned to her husband's arms.
"Steve... What if something bad happens to them? What if the attackers harm our kids?" Anna sobbed into his chest.
