Chapter 114

Althaia

I stared at the phone in my hand, not too sure if I should take the call or not. But I kept thinking something happened to my father, and he was calling to let me know. I took a deep breath to calm my pounding heart and hoped it wasn’t anything serious.

“Hello?”

“Althaia! Are you okay?!” Michael asked frantically.

“I’m okay.” I said, confused why he was reacting like this.

“Why didn’t you answer your phone? I thought something happened to you!” He shouted with frustration.

“I was getting ready and didn’t have my phone on me. Is everything okay? Did anything happen to my dad?” I asked nervously.

“Listen, I need to talk to you. Can I see you tonight?”

“We can’t.”

“Thaia, please… I know I said some fucked up shit to you and I’m sorry. I really am, but I need to see you.” He pleaded.

“I can’t, Michael. I’m not in the states right now.” I muttered.

“What do you mean you’re not in the states?”
