Chapter 303 A Thumbs–Up for Him Bella felt a complex mix of emotions, as if everything around her was mocking her situation.

Chapter 170 The stranger’s voice was smooth, and deep. It was amazing how he could have such powerful influence without making much effort. I frowned, feeling uneasy as I stared into his face. I ignored the first words he spoke, giving him another full look to be sure I had never seen him anywhere else. Tiara stirred within me, senses heightened. “Who are you?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. The man’s smirk widened as he ran his gaze over me. “You don’t know me do you?” Before he could respond, a gasp echoed behind me. I turned to see mom standing a few feet behind me, her eyes wide and face pale. She was so still that I feared she had stopped breathing. “Mom?” I called out She didn’t answer. She just stared at us in shock. I looked back at the man and at my mother again. “Mom, do you know him?” I asked. I was beginning to feel something strange stir up in me. I knew whatever was happening wasn’t going to sit too well with me. My mom made a strange sound in her throat. Her eyes started to tear up, and before I could say anything else, she burst into tears. I was taken aback by it. I hurried over to her, holding her arms in my hand as I forced her to look at me. “Mom, are you okay? What is wrong?” She continued crying. I never thought I would see her cry more than she did the day before, but this seemed worse. I was still at a loss on what to do when my mother finally got herself together enough to speak. “I’m so sorry Eden. I didn’t know he would…” She trailed off. “Know what mom?” I looked back at the man who stared at us intently from the door, looking like he would rather be anywhere but here watching my mother cry. “Do you know him My mom nodded and sniffed. She took a moment to look away as if to gather her thoughts before she finally looked at me again. “I don’t know how I’m going to say this.” She mumbled. I heard a frustrated sigh from behind me, and I could almost imagine the man rolling his eyes. “Tell her, Rose.” He said. I didn’t miss the familiarity in the way he called my mother’s name. Everything about this situation was making me feel queasy. “He… he… Eden, he is your father.” My mom wailed. I stopped breathing. Or maybe I was still breathing but I just couldn’t tell, all I could think of at that moment was that the man I had wanted to meet all my life was standing behind me. My hands fell from my mother’s arm. I slowly turned and looked at him. Chapter 170 +5 0 He still had that cocky smile on his face. He hadn’t moved much from his position. He pulled his hat away from his head, and a beautiful mane of red hair very much like my own fell out in short waves. “Won’t you let me in?” He asked. I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. With a small nod, he walked in, his movements fluid and flawless like his looks. He gently settled on a couch, placing his rod beside him. He stretched a little, allowing his long length to take up most of the space. He looked royal, like a king who knows his strength. I wasn’t sure how to approach him, how to feel about him or what to do. I observed him some more, his pale almost pristine white skin, his red hair that sharply contrasts with it and his sharp facial features. If this was the man my mother had a one night stand with, I could see the reason why. It was obvious he was a vampire. Even if he was yet to show me his fangs. As if reading my thoughts, he looked at me and I shivered. “Since that has been cleared, I should make a formal introduction.” He said. “My name is Lord Shevek.” He smiled, his eyes warm “Please come sit. I would like to have a proper conversation with you?” Thesitated for a bit before I moved. The closer I got to him, the more it felt like the temperature had dropped a little in the room. I shivered. With the kind of aura he emanates, I didn’t need to be told he was a full blooded Vampire. But I wasn’t scared. Despite how clean–cut, stiff, and polished he looked, he didn’t seem dangerous…. in a bad way. I felt a strange pull to him, a strange comfort. I felt entranced, the way I gravitated to him like a magnetic pull. I couldn’t stop it even if I tried, but I wasn’t trying to. … Read more
