THE HYBRID'S DAUGHTER

The nanny was extremely upset by what had just happened. I tried to see if I could pacify her, but she wasn't in the mood to listen to anything I wanted to say.She seemed angrier than I was, so I went to my room, where my clothes had already been arranged in the wardrobe. The nanny never slacked when it came to work."Gena, please wait. I'll get you something to eat and drink," she said, and then headed back into the kitchen. I stayed in my room until she returned a few minutes later with a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine."Here you go," she said, placing it on the table in my room."Thank you," I replied and immediately got off the bed to grab my food. As I was about to eat, I noticed the nanny staring at me intently."Why are you staring?" I asked."Nothing. I'm just happy to see you. I hope you are happy to see me too," she said as she put her hand on my head and gently patted it before leaving my room.I finally had some time to myself. After eating my meal, I went down to the

I fought the idea of going back to the party and talking to Luciano. However, Dad begged me to reconsider and was willing to take me on a shopping spree if I would accept his proposal. The old me would have jumped up and agreed, but the new me didn't need anything from him. The only thing I needed was his permission to marry the man of my choice - Alex, who was human.Dad however agreed to do as I said, but I would only have to tell him what I wanted after the party. Seeing that it wasn't a bad idea, I chose to go back to the party, smile, and pretend that everything was going well, including talking with Luciano, the rude and obnoxious man whom Dad single-handedly picked to be my mate."Go talk to Luciano, and please smile," Dad said, pushing me in the direction of where the latter stood. I reluctantly made my way to Luciano, who was talking to some guests. When he saw me approaching him, he stopped talking and gave me his full attention."Gena! You're here," he said, but his tone di

The next morning, I watched the time as I anticipated Alex. I waited for his arrival like he was the prince of England.Dad came outside, and immediately, the car drove up and stopped in front of us. Alex got down, holding his luggage. I wanted to jump on him and kiss him, but Dad was standing right next to me. I didn't want to do anything stupid."Hi, Alex," I waved at him eagerly."Gena!" He exclaimed, excited to see me."Good day, sir," Alex managed himself with his luggage, and went to greet Dad. He bowed his head and Dad loved it. He looked at me, giving me an approving smile."Welcome son, you must be a good friend of my daughter since she wants you to be here with her for a month," he said with a grin.Sophia came out and carried Alex's bags to the visitor's room. Dad, however, while he was about to question Alex, got a call that made him leave urgently. I walked Alex to his room."Hey! Did you not tell your dad that I am your boyfriend and not your friend?" He shut the door o

I barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, Luciano's words replayed in my head.You have until tomorrow morning to decide.What exactly did he think I was going to do?Leave Alex and marry him?Absolutely not.I had spent too much time fighting for my relationship with Alex to let Luciano destroy it with a threat.But there was one problem.My father.I knew him well enough to know that if Luciano told him everything before I did, the situation would become much worse.I turned in bed and looked at the clock.2:17 a.m.I sighed and sat up.Maybe Alex was right.Maybe we should tell Dad everything before Luciano got the opportunity.I grabbed my phone and typed a message to Alex.Are you awake?The message was delivered almost immediately.Yes.Can I come to your room?There was a pause.Wait.I frowned.A few seconds later, another message came in.Don't come.I stared at the screen.Why?I quickly typed.Why?There was no response.I called him.He didn't answer.I calle

I couldn't move.Alex stood beside the black car, staring at me with an expression I had never seen on his face before.Fear.But it wasn't Alex that frightened me.It was the woman standing beside him.She was tall, beautiful, and dressed in a long black dress. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders, and there was something strangely familiar about her.I looked at Alex.Then at her."Who is she?"Alex opened his mouth, but no words came out.The woman stepped forward."My name is Selene."I frowned."Okay. And what are you doing with Alex?"She glanced at him before looking back at me."That's a complicated question.""I don't care."I walked toward Alex."I've been looking everywhere for you."He looked down."I'm sorry.""Where were you?"He didn't answer.My anger returned."Alex, where were you?"Selene stepped between us."He was with me."I stared at her."Excuse me?""He was with me."I looked at Alex."Is that true?"He nodded reluctantly.My chest tightened."Why?"Before he
