I Am The Luna

Chapter 102

“Dad!” I shout,

“What on earth are you doing in my home? Without even knocking!”

I come to a halt as I come face to face with Annette. She’s holding a cup of tea in her hand and looks shocked to see me.

“Where is Dad?” I ask.

She frowns. “Your father has been on a business trip for the last few days.” Hearing the shouts from downstairs, she rushes to the balcony. “Who have you brought into my house?!”

A few guards rush up the stairs and I watch her, not trusting her.

“Search the house, leave no room out.”

I walk over to Annette and hold my hand out. “Give me your phone.”

She frowns, but she takes it out of her pocket and holds it out, hesitantly. “When is the last time you spoke to father?” I ask.

“The day he left… why?” she asks, her face paling as she looks at my neck and I know she can see the blood that is trickling down it. “What is going on, Zaia?”

“I talked to Dad last night…I need to find him… Unlock the phone, please.” I say and she quickly keys in her number, and I call him.
