Chapter 122

After the bath and applying cream to my ass, Alekos takes me back to the room and snuggles naked with me in bed. I did not expect this. Him telling me to find another room to sleep in, yes, but not this... whatever this is. It is nice. More than nice, but I don't like it

Because of how my father treated me while growing up, I crave human interaction and get attached fast to people. I can't afford to get attached to Alekos. It will only ruin my plans

After Alekos fell asleep, I spent a long time lying awake, thinking of my father and Carlos

My father is not a bad man. He loves me in his own way, but my mother dying in a car accident and him wanting a son had him push me away when I most needed him. I have tried hard to prove my worth to him but to no avail. He even had me give up on my dream of becoming an architect because it would only be lost years since I was to marry Carlos anyway

I love my father, but many of his decisions have had me judge his true character, and I lost all my respect for him. I even stopped trying to beg for his attention and affection or to show him that even if I am a woman, I am worth just as much a a man. After high school, we barely ever spoke.
