ASHANTI'S POV.

"Hello, you've reached Conrad's cell phone, please leave a message." A loud beep follows the voice and I instantly end the call, sighing heavily.

"Come on Conrad!" I cry in frustration as I pick up my purse and rush out of my bedroom.

I've been trying to reach my boyfriend for hours and it's frustrating the hell out of me.

He hasn't called or texted to check on me either since this morning, which is unusual of him. This has never happened before.

I need to go over to Conrad's apartment and check on him to make sure everything is alright. We are supposed to go on a date today and he said he would come here to pick me up.

As I descend the staircase, I try to call him one more time and it goes straight to voicemail again. I almost shoot my phone against the wall.

"Ashanti!" A familiar voice calls my name as I'm about to exit the living room.

I signed inwardly and turn to look at her.

"Yes, mum." Everytime I address this woman as mum, I almost swallow my tongue.

I hate to do it, but my father keeps forcing me to do so.

"Go get Rhea for me. There's something I need to tell her." She instructs and I look at her in total disbelief.

"Can you send one of the servants to do that, please?" I ask as politely as I can. "I'm about to go out and it's kind of urgent."

"Are you trying to disobey me?"

"No, I'm not... I'm just trying to say..."

"Wait till your father hears about this." She gives me a wicked look before walking away. If I let her walk out of that door and go to meet my father, she'll tell him something I never have done which unsurprisingly my father will believe in her and it would never end well.

"Alright fine!" I surrender. "I'll go get her." I make sure not to look at her because the smile of victory on her face will make me snap.
