The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 164

Diana’s pov

“Where’s the dagger?” I asked.

“Don’t be so impatient. Didn’t I say, as long as you fulfill my demands, I’ll give you the dagger back?” The mountain wind tousled Avia’s hair.

She smiled, like a devil.

I took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the hatred and anger churning inside me.

“So, what are your demands?” Avia lowered her head, twirling her meticulously cared–for violet nails, her crimson lips curling slightly.

“First, hand me your phone.” I furrowed my brow, not understanding why she would ask, but I still handed her my phone.

“What about the unlock code?” she asked.

I recited a sequence of numbers.

I finally realized what Avia was up to.

After unlocking my phone, she went straight to the messages and deleted all the conversations between

me and her.

“I won’t give you a chance to complain to Nathan,” she smirked triumphantly.

I glanced at her, too disinterested to even engage in conversation.

After thoroughly inspecting my phone to ensure there was nothing incriminating, she tossed it back to

1. me.

“Do you have any other demands?” I asked after pocketing my phone.

Avia looked at me with a gleeful yet malicious gaze.

She slowly opened her mouth and said, word by word-

“Second, I want you to kaneel down and beg me.”

I wasn’t surprised by Avia’s request.

She had always detested me, seizing every opportunity to humiliate me.

Kneeling before such a vicious, calculating, and foolish woman was undeniably difficult.
