Chapter 48: David Conley is here
"Was that a call from the palace?" Samyra asked, her voice laced with concern as she noticed the horrified expression on her husband’s face.
David slowly nodded. "Yes. It was the Luna Queen."
Samyra’s heart dropped. "What did she say?"
"She told me to come to the palace... and take our daughter away," David replied grimly.
"What?" Samyra gasped, her eyes widening. "Don’t tell me Amelie is there."
"She is," David confirmed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "And from the Queen’s tone, she seemed to be furious. I can’t waste any time. I’ll leave for the capital immediately."
"Sure... I just can’t believe Amelie ended up there," Samyra muttered, furrowing her brows in confusion. "But why would she do that?"
"Who knows what was going through her mind?" David said with a heavy sigh as he walked to the cupboard. "This girl has brought nothing but ruin to us. First, she falsely accused Alex, and now this mess..."
He pulled out a duffle bag and glanced at her. "Pack a pair of clothes for me. And please tell the driver to be ready."
Samyra nodded silently, watching her husband disappear into the washroom. She quickly packed the duffle bag while her thoughts raced.
A few minutes later, David emerged in a formal outfit . He picked up his phone from the table, scrolling through the flight options.
