All Chapters of My Girlfriend's Dad Lives in Fairyland: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Feeling the secondhand embarrassment, Alicia and Hannah quickly changed the subject to Alicia's and my wedding date.Hannah cleared her throat and said, "Since you two are doing so well, we won't treat you unfairly. As a gesture of security, I'm giving you a 3% stake in the company. Consider it a little gift from me."I quickly declined. "No, Mrs. Bennett. That's too much."But all I could think was that a father-in-law like him would drive me insane. Forget 3%. I wouldn't marry into this family even for 30%.Besides, my family had its own company. A stake that small didn't really mean much to me.Mike, however, had sharp ears. The moment he caught the word "stake", he threw another tantrum. "What are you talking about? You're giving my things to this punk? How dare you deceive the Prince!"He stormed around most of the table and lunged at me. His fist grazed my chin, leaving a burning sting.Alicia immediately threw herself between us. She had officially hit her limit and raise

Reading the text left me feeling completely drained. I tossed my phone onto the coffee table and collapsed backward into the couch.How could a man be this deeply unhinged?He was well into his 40s, yet he had spent the last two decades roleplaying as a spoiled prince.Thinking back to Hannah's enabling behavior, I realized that she was largely to blame for this monster.Alicia bombarded my phone with messages all night, but I didn't reply to a single one.Her last text came in at 3:00 am. "I finally see how messed up my family is, but I can't just leave my dad right now. Please give me some time."I read that message five times before locking my screen.The next morning at 8:00 am, a frantic pounding on my door jarred me awake."Open up, thief! Open the door now!"Mike's voice pierced through the security door. It was so loud that it probably set off every sound-activated light in the building.Rubbing my eyes, I dragged myself out of bed and peered through the peephole.Mi

"Take a look at this," Connor said, his expression complicated.On the screen was a screenshot of a group chat.Mike had posted a massive wall of text that essentially read, "Heads up, everyone. There's a guy surnamed Pruitt who uses business networking as a front to prey on wealthy heiresses. He's slick. He's got my daughter completely brainwashed. Watch out for your kids."I stared at the screen for a few seconds before handing the phone back to Connor.As expected, the people in Mike's social circles weren't exactly bright either.I, myself, was an heir to the Pruitt family. I hardly needed to go after some rich heiresses."Is this guy missing a couple of screws?" Connor frowned. "Do you want me to have someone dig into his background?""No need," I said, turning on my laptop.I kept my voice as flat as possible as I continued, "That's my ex-girlfriend's dad."Connor opened his mouth but wisely chose not to ask any further.Over the next three days, I received five differe

I spoke first. "I didn't pursue legal action before because I didn't think it was worth the hassle. But I came here today to make one thing clear."Mike stared at me warily and said, "The leak of your company's trade secrets has absolutely nothing to do with me."I turned the laptop screen toward him. "When Mr. Bennett barged into my apartment to accuse me of stealing files, I told him that those meeting minutes weren't confidential. But this time is different."Mike's face began to flush. His grip on the couch armrest tightened until his knuckles turned bone-white."I didn't steal anything!" he shrieked, his voice piercingly shrill. "I didn't know anything! He was just an online friend. He said he wanted to see how amazing my wife's company was, so I just snapped a few pictures—""That makes you a corporate spy," I cut him off. "That man works for your competitor, and the data you photographed is worth more than ten million dollars."Mike visibly flinched as if my words physical

"I'm so, so sorry," Alicia said over the phone.The sound of a car door slamming shut drifted through her side. "I'm on my way right now. Please don't get into a confrontation with him—"I hung up, stood up from my desk, and walked over to the window to look down.Down in the plaza, a man in a white overcoat was climbing out of a cab. He looked up at the office building, gripped a bulging canvas bag, and bolted toward the main entrance.Taking a deep breath, I turned to Connor and said, "I'm heading downstairs. Someone's here to see me.""Who? Your ex's father?""Yeah."Connor bolted upright. "I'm coming with you.""No need," I replied, slipping my phone into my pocket. "I can handle this myself."The moment I stepped out of the elevator into the first-floor lobby, Mike happened to burst through the front doors.When he saw me, he froze in his tracks. He stood there, tightly squeezing the straps of his canvas bag. His lips were pressed into a thin line."What are you doing h
