All Chapters of He’s Not My Father, Just Lord Poseidon: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I took Chloe back to our quarters and began to pack.I was ready. I was taking Chloe home. Back to the Southern Coral Sea. My father is the god of that small domain. I met Poseidon while traveling with my sisters. He was captivated the moment he saw me and, with the arrogance of a god, dragged me back to his palace.At first, I despised him. I hated his arrogance and his dominance. But over time, I saw a gentle, tender side to him. He wouldn’t let me leave, but he gave me everything I could ever want. The slightest mention of a desire, and it would appear before me. How could I not fall for such a passionate, powerful man? I agreed to marry him.But my father never forgave him for taking me. He always insisted Poseidon was nothing but a tyrant. When he heard I was coming home with Chloe, he was overjoyed, ready to come and get me himself.Just then, another message came from Thalia.It was a moving picture—a memory captured in the shell. In it, Poseidon was gently tending to a cut on h

I moved our departure time to three o’clock that afternoon.After confirming everything was ready, I made the final preparations.At nine, I made our last breakfast in the palace. The golden chariot Poseidon had bought sat in a corner. Chloe picked it up and threw it in the trash.The Emissary of the Styx appeared one last time. “Are you certain?” he asked, his voice echoing the finality of his domain.“Yes,” I said, without hesitation.He said no more, simply nodding before he vanished.As we were about to leave, another message from Thalia arrived.[Poseidon just gave Ethan a little wooden trident. He said it makes Ethan look more like his heir, hahaha.]Beside me, Chloe took out the wooden trident Poseidon had once given her. It had been her favorite toy. After seeing the message, she said nothing, but quietly removed the trident from her bag and left it behind.“Mother, let’s go.”At one in the afternoon, after lunch, Chloe and I left with our bags. It was still two hours before ou

After leaving the infirmary, Poseidon raced back to his palace, only to find it empty.Maybe they got tired of waiting and went to the market themselves, he thought.He immediately changed course, tearing a path toward the mortal realm. He sent message after message. Nerida. Nerida. Nerida. Silence.He knew she must be angry, so he started leaving voice notes.[Nerida, Thalia’s son is fine. I’m on my way now.][Don’t leave. I’m almost there.][I didn’t break my promise this time. I’m really coming.]Still no reply.Poseidon’s hand, holding the message conch, began to tremble. A dark premonition started to creep into his heart. Nerida had never ignored him like this.He tried Chloe’s conch. No reply there, either.His heart began to pound. Panic, like a thick sea vine, wrapped itself around his throat. He suddenly remembered last night, Nerida’s cool expression as she said, “The place we’re going is far away.” Thinking back, her tone hadn’t sounded like she was describing a day trip at

Poseidon shot to his feet. A wave of revulsion for Thalia washed over him, but the thought of a child in danger was an instinct he couldn’t ignore. He was out the door in a flash.Outside the private room in the infirmary, Thalia was standing by the bed. Ethan was covered in red welts. His face was swollen, his lips pale. He kept clawing at his neck. The healer had just given him an antidote.Poseidon was about to push the door open when he heard Ethan’s weak voice from inside.“Mother, I did what you said. I ate the Hydra’s Bloodbane. Will Father come be with me now?”Poseidon’s hand froze on the doorknob.Thalia’s voice was low, but laced with a triumphant smile. “He will. Poseidon is a total softy. All you have to do is cry a little, act pitiful, and he’ll come running.”Ethan gasped for air. “But it hurts so much. Mother, am I going to die?”Thalia’s brow furrowed with impatience. “Don’t be ridiculous. It’s just a little poison. Endure it. Remember last time, when Nerida’s daughter

He had always been the proud, aloof Sea God. To see him so broken, so humbled… it was jarring.But I felt nothing. In fact, I found it almost funny.“You’re only thinking of Chloe now?”Poseidon opened his mouth, but no words came out.I heard soft footsteps behind me. Chloe was there, looking at the kneeling god with a calm expression.Poseidon’s gaze fixed on her as if she were a lifeline, his hand reaching out, trembling. “Chloe. Daddy’s here. Can you help me convince your mother? Please? I don’t want to be apart from her. We love each other!”He thought she would soften. After all, she used to be the one who adored him most. Whenever he came home, she would run to hug his legs, calling “Father, Father.”But this time, Chloe only took a small step back behind me.Then she spoke, her voice steady. “Lord Poseidon, please return to your palace. Your widowed subjects need your protection. Don’t disturb my mother and me.”Poseidon froze, his hand suspended in mid-air. “Chloe, I’m your fa
