Chapter 57. My blonde servant. Vic POV.
The windows were rolled down as we drove the car onto the road leading back home. After my final appointment with Celeste about my princess dress, I was feeling good. My hand touched my earrings, feeling the cold amethyst against my skin. This was perfect, everything was going according to my dream.
In the driver seat, Kathy was steering the wheel and her eyes were on the road.
It had been a long day. But in a month I would have my dress and the date of a lifetime with my papa, we would be one and I wouldn’t need to worry about the homewrecker ever again. This was exciting.
I leaned back on my seat and sighed, thinking of the future. The tires screeched to a halt as Kathy stopped the car in the driveway of our home. With a yawn I got out and took out the bags, the sun warming my skin and the cool wind caressing me.
Kathy got the other bags. Our footsteps on the stone walkway felt right, like this place was our home. Which it was. I would never leave.
The front door opened to reveal the familiar inside and we both sat down to take our shoes off.
On the rack was an unfamiliar pair of shoes. They looked old and worn out.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up immediately.
But I shook my head. Papa probably had a colleague visit or maybe Evelyn had finally decided to show her true self. So I shrugged off the shoes and walked to the kitchen, with Kathy following me.
The delicious smell of steak hit my nose and my mouth watered a bit. Papa’s cooking was always the best. He was cutting some vegetables, his back facing me.
I was about to call out to him but stopped. Blonde. Blonde. Papa was alone with a blonde. My brain stopped processing as I stared at her with empty eyes.
Kathy’s words ringed in my ears. They didn’t matter. Who was this bitch and why was she standing next to my dad? Too close. She was standing too close in my home.
The woman turned to me, her eyes golden. Those glasses! Papa was researching them... papa was researching another girl? The room got darker and my vision was tunneled only on her, she was looking between me and Kathy. I heard papa speak.
I didn’t remember what he said. I always remember what he says but this time I couldn’t hear it. My blood boiled in my veins and I felt so cold. Before I knew it I was in my room. My hands were shaking and I grabbed my earring, rubbing it. One. Two. Deep breath.
My head was pounding in a rhythm with my heartbeat. This was bad. I had to get rid of her.
“Princess? Are you okay?” Papa’s voice echoed in the room as he teleported here.
I turned to see him and I threw my arms around him, pulling him into a hug. Why did he make me feel like this? Was he searching for another princess? A blonde princess who would take my prince?
No.
I was his. His number one princess. Only me. The earring felt heavy in my ears. Papa held me close to him.
“Why is she here?” I asked, my voice was flat and empty.
Rubbing my back, he kissed the top of my head.
“Nina is not your enemy. She is a monster-hybrid that I decided to help, Vic.” His voice was gentle and soft. He pulled away from the hug. I stared into those beautiful violet eyes that I loved so much.
Help? Papa was helping someone outside the family like Evelyn. I had to get rid of this woman too.
Warm fingers grabbed my cheeks and squished them.
“Princess. Remember what we talked about? Speak your emotions out loud,” he reminded me.
I breathed in. A deep breath.
My hand went to his, holding his hand on my cheek. Right no flying into a killing rage without talking.
“I am feeling very... angry and...jealous? I don’t want someone else in my castle. Especially someone as old as me.” The last part slipped out and his expression softened into a tender smile. The kind he only gave me when I spoke my feelings honestly.
Papa kissed my lips.
“Good princess. Now what are we gonna do with the feeling?” He was teaching me to process the emotions like he did.
I had a few ideas. Kidnapping, torture, dismemberment, a public execution...
A finger booped my nose.
“Remember. No blood and guts on the floors princess. Also the hybrid will be your maid so you can order her around like a princess.” He winked.
I blinked. Oh.
His lips were back on mine. I didn’t know where the anger went. Papa brought me a maid like a prince would, so that I could have a servant. A servant in my castle who was the same age as me.
Smiling I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into another kiss, deeper this time. Papa kissed me back, his tongue touching mine and I sucked on it.
“So princess what are you going to do with your feelings now?” He asked me between kisses.
I pulled back for a second to answer.
“I will not act on my murderous impulses and will act like a true princess, who rules her castle wisely.” My answer made him chuckle and he gave me a peck on the lips. The earring didn’t feel heavy anymore and my breathing was back to normal.
Grabbing his hand, we left my room and walked down the hallway, the smell of steak and veggies in the air. I heard mom arrive as well, her voice coming from the living room as she talked to Kathy and my servant. Yes. I would call her that from now on and treat her like a servant.
My blonde servant.
