Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

Chapter 110

#Chapter 110: Sinister

Everything seemed to be working out, at least for now. Kelly realized the wrong in her ways, and Moana was willing to give her another chance. Maybe now, with Kelly on our side, my father would eventually lose any footing he had before when it came to trying to drive Moana away.

I was at work while Moana went to her appointment. By now, she was probably already at her appointment. In fact, she was probably already done, and was enjoying a nice lunch with Kelly. I felt relieved to know that those two were making up. Despite Kelly’s transgressions and bad attitude over the past couple of years, I always knew that she was still my sweet childhood friend. Maybe she realized that she needed to get her act together, and was now working harder to be a better person again.

But when my phone rang and I saw Selina’s name pop up on my screen, my heart instantly sank. Did something happen with the appointment? Was the baby okay? Was Moana okay?

“Hello?” I answered.

“You need to come home right now,” Selina said frantically, her voice shaking audibly over the phone. “And you need to hurry.”

“Wait— What happened?” I asked. My mind began to race with a million different things. What if Moana had a miscarriage? What if they got into a car accident on their way to the doctor’s office? What if…

“It’s Moana,” Selina answered. “Someone… Someone took her.”

My eyes widened. My hand slipped out of my phone and clattered to the floor. My mouth hung open, but no words would come out. I stood there in stunned silence for a few moments, processing in disbelief, before I scooped my phone up and grabbed my car keys. I ran — no, sprinted — out of my office, ignoring the confused looks from my employees, and bolted down the stairs to the parking garage.

Someone took Moana? As in… Someone kidnapped her? But why? How? Kelly was supposed to be with her! She was just supposed to go to the doctor, get lunch, and come home!

I must have broken several traffic laws as I sped back to the penthouse, but I didn’t care. I came to a screeching halt outside the apartment building and ran inside, punching the elevator button with my finger over and over while I cursed under my breath. Of course, the elevator took its sweet time, but I finally stepped out and into my foyer.

And yet, Kelly, someone who was supposed to be my childhood friend, had taken a pregnant woman and a child to
