[5:00 PM]
As I stepped out of the house, a gentle breeze brushed against my face, carrying with it the salty scent of the ocean. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden glow over the island. I decided to take a walk along the shore, enjoying the tranquility and reflecting on the events of the day.
Just as I reached the shoreline, I noticed Harley, Jenny, and Hina approaching from a distance. Harley's vibrant hair stood out, reflecting the colors of the setting sun. Jenny walked beside her, her calm and composed deanor contrasting with Harley's playful energy. And Hina, who believed
to be her father, bounded ahead, her excitent palpable.
Harley's eyes lit up as she spotted , and she rushed over, wrapping her arms around
in a tight hug. "Hey there, Mr. Smooth Operator. How did things go with Alana?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
"Sush! Not in front of Hina," I said holding her mouth shut.
I chuckled softly, releasing Harley's mouth from my grasp. "Let's keep the details between us for now, Harley. Hina doesn't need to know all the grown-up stuff just yet."
Harley winked mischievously, playing along with the charade. "Oh, don't worry, Alex. Our little secret is safe with ."
Jenny joined us, a knowing smile on her face. "I see you two are up to your usual antics. You really know how to keep things interesting."
I grinned at Jenny, grateful for her understanding and support. "Well, life would be dull without a little mischief, wouldn't it?"
Hina skipped over, her eyes bright with excitent. "Daddy! Daddy! We had so much fun today. We explored the beach, collected seashells, and even built sandcastles."
I ruffled Hina's hair affectionately, a surge of warmth filling my heart. "I'm glad you had a great ti, Hina. It sounds like the perfect day at the beach."
Hina's eyes widened, and she pointed toward the setting sun. "Look, Daddy! The sky is so pretty. It's like I can see the edge of the sky."
Argg! My head! Wtf?
****
"Daddy, look. This place is beautiful. Hahaha."
"Kiddo. I am not your father. Hey. Don't go there. There are bees... Be careful... Your mom will kill
if you get hurt..."
"..."
"Here..."
"What's this? For ? Humm."
"Mommy says she loves you. Do you love mommy? Are you going to marry my mom?"
"..."
"Mommy says if you marry her, you will beco my daddy. So, you are my daddy..."
"..."
"Nila said she saw the edge of the sky where the sunset was when her daddy picked her on his shoulders. Can you pick
up on your shoulders? I want to see it too... Please, daddy..."
"Alright. Co on then... And don't call
daddy..."
"Ok, daddy..."
****
What are those mories?! I... I almost blacked out.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful. Well, get a shower and take so rest. anwhile, I have a eting to attend," I said with a smile.
As I bid the girls farewell, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions and confusion. Those sudden mories that flooded my mind were unsettling. They seed so real, but I couldn't make sense of them. It was as if they belonged to a different life, a different version of .
I will know it within a day. I am counting on you System,
Well, ti to go to the bar where I first t Alana.
[Ring] [Ring] My phone rang.
It's Alana.
I answered the phone, my curiosity piqued by Alana's call. "Hello, Alana. What's up?"
Alana's voice sounded slightly hesitant on the other end. "Hey, Vincent. I was wondering if we could et up and talk. There are so things I'd like to discuss with you."
"Sure, Alana. I'd be happy to et up and talk. Where would you like to et?" I replied, my tone friendly and open.
"There's a café near the beach. How about we et there in about an hour?" Alana suggested.
"That sounds perfect. I'll et you there in an hour. Looking forward to seeing you," I said, feeling a mix of anticipation. Finally, she is going to give
her reply. If I wanted, I could have made her mine with my power, but I want her to fall for
naturally.

I arrived at the café near the beach a little early, finding a table in a quiet corner. The café was cozy, with a relaxed atmosphere and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. It seed like the perfect place for a conversation.
As I waited for Alana to arrive, my mind wandered back to the mories that had resurfaced earlier. The image of a young girl calling
"daddy" and the sense of familiarity in those interactions with her felt so vivid, yet distant. There was still so much I didn't understand, but I couldn't let it distract
now.
Soon enough, Alana entered the café, her eyes searching for . When she spotted , a soft smile graced her lips, and she made her way over to the table. I stood up to greet her, offering her a warm hug as a gesture of familiarity.
"Hey, Vincent. It's good to see you," Alana said, her voice carrying a mix of emotions. "I've been thinking a lot since our last conversation, and I have so things I want to talk about."
"I'm glad you reached out, Alana," I replied, returning her smile. "I've also been reflecting on everything, and I believe an open and honest conversation can help us both."
We took our seats, and a waiter ca by to take our orders. As we waited for our drinks, Alana looked at
with a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty.
"Vincent, I want to start by saying that I appreciate your honesty about your abilities and the things you've shared with . It's a lot to take in, but I trust you," Alana began, her gaze searching mine. "But I need to understand two thing: are you sure you are alright with soone as old as
being your girl? And secondly, are you certain you will be able to make ti for
among your other girlfriends? I an, polygamy... It's new to ..."
I looked at Alana intently, understanding the importance of her questions. Her concerns were valid, and it was crucial for us to address them openly and honestly. I took a mont to gather my thoughts before responding.
"Alana, age is just a number, and it doesn't define the connection we share. What matters to
is the person you are and how we connect on a deeper level. I'm not concerned about the age difference between us. What's important is that we understand and respect each other."
"As for polygamy, I want to clarify sothing," I continued, looking into her eyes with sincerity. "While I have ford connections with multiple woman, it doesn't an I take those relationships lightly. Each relationship is unique and holds its own value. If we choose to pursue a romantic relationship, you would have my full attention and commitnt. It's not about dividing my ti but about making quality ti for each person in my life."
The waiter returned with our drinks, and I took a sip of my coffee, allowing a mont of silence to settle between us. Alana seed deep in thought, processing my words.
"I appreciate your honesty, Vincent," Alana finally spoke, her voice soft. "This is all new to , and I can't deny that it's a lot to wrap my head around. But I believe in open-mindedness and exploring the possibilities. I also believe in the connection we've established so far."
She reached across the table, her hand gently resting on mine. "I'm willing to take this journey with you, Vincent, as long as we continue to communicate openly and honestly. Can we promise each other that?"
A warm smile spread across my face as I felt a sense of relief. Alana's willingness to explore and her trust in
were reassuring.
"I promise, Alana," I said, my voice filled with sincerity. "Open communication will be the foundation of our relationship. We'll navigate this together, understanding each other's needs and being there for one another."
Alana smiled back, her eyes sparkling with a mix of excitent and vulnerability. "Thank you, Vincent. I'm glad we're on the sa page. Let's see where this journey takes us."
********
AN: I decided not to harm Alana. But as I am writing, lying to her feels like shit to . It's not her fault her daughter fucked up.
