LUKE’S POV

With my phone pressed against my ears, I stood still in shock, right outside Andre’s mansion. My head was trying to process the voice I heard. I was still trying to grasp the situation.

“Push!” The caller said it loudly. I sat on my heels and slowly took my phone from the ground. “Now that’s a good boy.”

“Who are you?” I slowly asked. “You can’t be my mother. She’s dead! She died a long time ago.”
