The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Kendrix

“Wait, you are the child of George Embry?”

I asked a little loud and it startled her, I was in shock, the Embrys were the richest family in the whole of O-when, the same George my father sent his contact as part of those I get to connect with in other to be able to acquire the orient, to find out the daughter of George has been living in my house for the past two days was a twist that I never expected, I never even knew he had a daughter in the first place, I only knew about his sons, or wait.

“You are…”

I said and kept quiet, now I finally understood, I should have known, I once heard he had another child but it never crossed my mind that the child would be a grown woman, I always just thought she was a teenager kept hidden somewhere, oh wait, does that mean the reason George wanted to have nothing to do with my father was because of Jordan? If that is true, then I might stand a better chance with him than Jordan.

“I am what?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She asked and I realized I paused mid-sentence. The problem was I didn’t know how to complete that sentence without sounding insensitive, heck I hated the thought of it.

“Nothing, it’s just that I didn’t expect you to be, George’s daughter because,”

I said and paused again.

“What because you didn’t expect me to be the cursed girl everyone in O-when hated, Yes, that’s me, I am the cursed child of the richest man in O-when,”

She revealed, spreading her hands out, the way she sounded saying those words made me sad for her, no one should be made to feel that way about themselves and even though George was a good businessman, he made a huge mistake neglecting his child.

“You are not cursed,”

I responded but she shook her head.

“I will like to see you say that to my dad, I bet he would have a million reasons why you are wrong, not just my dad but everyone here thinks the same,”

She let out.

“I don’t think so,”

“Yeah, maybe just you and Rose, everyone else thinks I am a symbol of ill luck, even though they never met me or had an interaction with me, heck most don’t even know what I look like but I am hated,”

She replied and I wished there was a way to make her see just how wrong these people were, two days in her presence and she has proved just how intelligent she was and I know there is more to her, Jordan was the biggest loser, because I would have leaped for joy if I found out the moon goddess gave this damsel to me, but of course, what did I expect from Jordan? He was a loser, true and true.

“You know what, I think you should stop letting what other people think about you define you, personally, I see you as an intelligent person, I have been having a hard time getting Raul to overcome his grief and stuff but just two days here and Raul has said more to you than he has ever said to me and I have known him for a while now,”

I said and that was the reality, I even saw Raul smile at her earlier while we ate breakfast and he has never smiled at me, according to the help, they spend most of the day together playing video games and talking but I have not had a full conversation with Raul seen he came to live with me, not that I blame him though, the fact that he found her safe enough to talk to just proves that she wasn’t a bad person but a person misjudged and misrepresented by her own people.

“That doesn’t mean anything special, he thinks I am more approachable,”

She said,

“Let’s say that’s the case, but I still think you are amazing, you are a medical doctor, it is not an easy job to save life you know.”

I added.

“Thank you for trying to make me feel better Ken, and also for housing me, I owe you, whenever you want, you can ask for a favor and I will do my best to grant it,”

She said, I nodded knowing I will definitely need her help, only that she wasn’t in a good relationship with her dad, just until I need her help, I will do my best on my own, first thing first, I will set up a meeting with her dad, heck, what would she do if she finds out I have to work with her dad, I thought of letting her know but decided not to because at the end of the day, it was none of her business.

“I will be sure to do that, you better keep your promise or I will send you to my father’s dungeon,”

I answered and she let out a healthy laugh.

“I am sure your father is among the people that hate me, you don’t know how scared I was that day seeing you and Jordan fight in the palace, I thought he would come out and that shit scared the hell out of me, I can be on my father’s bad side and still be able to come back here but be on the king’s bad side? I will be done for, I won’t even be able to step foot here again,”

She said and I shook my head, how wrong could she be, if anything, I was sure my father would have welcomed her, he literally want to be on her dad’s good side, and he would have welcomed Arielyn and tried to use her to get what he wants, like how he was using Jordan and me to get his goal now.

“I am not trying to convince you because he is my dad but my old man would have not done anything to you, he is a greedy old wolf, he would have gotten on your good side and worked his way into your father’s good side, you know both of them are not cool with each other right, at least your dad isn’t, my father will do everything to be on his good side.”
