Elliot Grayson, a thirty six year old tech billionaire dressed in a perfectly tailored navy suit, stood frozen in the driveway of his massive stone mansion in Aspen Ridge, Colorado. His luxury car idled quietly nearby, but he barely noticed anything except what was happening on the front lawn.

In the middle of the perfectly trimmed grass, surrounded by blooming rose bushes in red, white, and soft pink, sat his seven year old daughter, Harper, in a small wheelchair. Her thin legs were wrapped carefully in a blanket, and ever since the accident four years earlier, she had not been able to move them at all.

Beside her stood Sophie Miller, the family’s new young housemaid who could not have been older than sixteen. She held a garden hose firmly in her hands while water poured directly over Harper’s head without hesitation.

“What are you doing?” Elliot shouted as he sprinted across the lawn, his voice filled with shock and anger. Sophie did not stop, and cold water continued running down Harper’s hair and soaking her sweater completely.
