The Billionaire's Secret Daughter 24. Science Experiment
McKennaA pang of guilt nagged at me as I realized I had deceived my own mother about Dustin. I told her he was just a friend and we didn't do anything at the Lab even though he and I kissed.I still couldn't believe we did that!But my relationship with him seemed to be the only thing that brought any joy into my life lately. Can you really blame me for wanting to hold onto that? Especially when my mother had been acting like a dictator ever since she found out about my involvement with Hunter.And let's not forget how hypocritical she was being. She had lied to me countless times, especially when it came to Hunter. I couldn't understand why she despised him so much and refused to tell me the truth.As her daughter, I deserved to know everything about my biological father. But instead, she kept this vital information from me, and it was driving me insane!I took a deep breath and decided that enough was enough. I will have to dig deeper and find out more about their complicated histo

HunterAs I made my way into the Lab, a strange sensation tickled my senses. Dustin and McKenna were acting peculiar, their faces flushing with guilt as if they had just been caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar. But in this case, the culprit was likely some weird science experiment gone wrong.Or was it something entirely different?"What's going on here?" I asked, narrowing my eyes."Nothing!" they replied in unison.Their synchronized response only heightened my suspicion. Dustin exchanged a quick glance with McKenna, and they both attempted to suppress mischievous grins. It was clear they were hiding something, and my curiosity intensified."Nothing? I don't buy it. What's the big secret?" I insisted, crossing my arms over my chest."We were not doing anything wrong," McKenna quickly replied.Right...My gaze softened as I looked at her. Her cheeks were red and it seemed like McKenna wanted out of this situation, and fast. With a deep exhale, I gave in and decided not to gi

Hunter McKenna and I stepped out of the shop, our hands full of bags. The city was alive with energy, a far cry from the quiet of my rural upbringing. I felt a bit adventurous living here now. "What movie should we watch?" She asked. "Whatever you want. You choose," I replied. "How about a horror movie?" McKenna chirped. I raised an eyebrow. "You like scary movies?" "I love them!" she replied enthusiastically. "Unless you don't like them. Then we can watch something else." I grinned. "Actually, I enjoy them quite a bit. Your mother and I used to have a horror movie marathon every Halloween," I said, smiling at the memory. McKenna smiled at me. "Okay then let's go. I am excited!" We walked to the nearest theater, chatting about nothing in particular but enjoying each other's company. Once inside, we found seats near the back and settled in as the lights dimmed and the movie began. ~-~ "Seriously, who would do that?" I whispered at some point, rolling my eyes at a particularly

TatianaThe audacity of this man!I couldn't stop thinking about Hunter since he left me standing at the front door, feeling stupid. Who did he think he was, trying to flirt with me? I've made my decision, and I made it years ago. He was only messing with me because he thought that he still had a shot. He didn't deserve a second of my time, even if he was McKenna's father.Irritation fluttered in my stomach. Acting casually was all well and good, but don't expect me to joke around with him again like I did before!"Mom?"I looked at McKenna. "Yes, Sweetheart?""Are you okay?" she asked."Yeah. Why do you ask?" I looked at her."Hunter left five minutes ago. Why are you still standing there," McKenna said, raising her brow.I quickly produced a smile. "Oh, no reason."McKenna sighed. "You weren't rude to him, were you? I wish you'd try to be nice to him for my sake, Mom. He had been kind to me, and we really had a nice day together."I narrowed my eyes. "Oh, yeah? What did you two do

HunterI couldn't believe Tatiana had actually agreed to have dinner with me. I was sure I would have to fight her for it. I couldn't help but feel excited about our future meeting. Yes, every time we were in close proximity to each other, we argued, but that was part of the thrill. My mind was tangled in a web of conflicting emotions. The idea of us peacefully sharing a meal seemed like an unlikely scenario.I had been bracing myself for a battle all day, mentally preparing for the usual verbal sparring. I could hardly wait for it."You seemed to be in a good mood," Dustin commented, raising an eyebrow."I am always in a good mood," I declared."Yeah, not really. And why are you all dressed up?" he asked, eyeing me."No reason," I said and tried to act nonchalant. "And I am not really dressed up." The words sounded dismissive, but the truth was, I had put more thought into my outfit than I cared to admit."Uh-ha..." Dustin said and smirked."Aren't you supposed to visit your mother

Tatiana What's happening? Why can't I resist him? Hunter had his arms wrapped around my waist as he kissed me. His lips were so soft, like velvet, as they moved with mine. Sparks of electricity ran through my body, and I felt drawn to him, unable to pull away. Hunter's scent filled the air around us, a mixture of minty cologne and something else intoxicatingly masculine that made me faint with desire. The memories of our several steamy nights came flooding back. This was not good. This was a disaster. My heart raced as his hands explored my body, gliding over every curve in a way that sent shivers down my spine and butterflies fluttering in the pit of my stomach. He pulled back just enough for our eyes to meet. There was an intensity there that scared yet excited me at the same time- it felt like he could see into my very soul without saying anything at all. "That's right, you should be sorry about this. How dare you kiss me?" I breathed. "You aren't pushing me away," he said.

One week later...McKennaThe more time passed, the more I found myself coming back to the Hunter's research Lab. Dustin and I would spend hours here, talking about nothing and everything.There was something about the dimly lit room, filled with shelves upon shelves of carefully labeled specimens, that felt like a sanctuary.Dustin, with his unkempt hair and bright eyes, would eagerly share his latest discoveries with me, his passion for his work evident in every word he spoke.But it wasn't just the science that kept me coming back. I didn't want to admit it at first, but I couldn't keep running away from my feelings either.Because let's just face it...I was crushing on Dustin harder than a squirrel hoarding acorns for the apocalypse – and my heart was the ultimate nut vault."I think this is your calling, McKenna. Maybe after you get your degree, you can work for Hunter here. I am sure he would be thrilled to have you take care of the family business," Dustin said.I nodded. I cou

DustinMy heart beat fast as I drove McKenna back to the townhouse.I didn't know why I was feeling so nervous. It wasn't like I was taking a girl home with me after a date. McKenna was Hunter's daughter, and she had every right to spend the night there. This was nothing special!I tried to reassure myself, reminding me that this was nothing out of the ordinary. Yet, as I stole glances at McKenna while driving, I couldn't dhskr the nervous energy.Get it together, Dustin! I scolded myself.Pulling up to the townhouse, I parked the car, and McKenna and I stepped out into the quiet night. I gestured toward the door. "Here we are. Make yourself comfortable. If you need anything, just let me know."McKenna thanked me, and we entered the townhouse."Thank you. I can find my way to my room," McKenna said and smiled."You're welcome," I replied, returning her smile.As McKenna made her way to her room, I lingered in the living area for a moment.I tried to dismiss any lingering nervousness,

The Billionaire's Secret Daughter 66. The Humiliation
TatianaThe doubts lingered over the months. Despite Hunter's continuous affirmations of love and commitment, I couldn't shake the fear that it was all too good to be true. The fear of vulnerability and potential heartbreak haunted me.As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, my worries became a silent companion. Yet, Hunter didn't look worried at all. He doted on me, showering me with his love.Maybe I was being stupid. I shouldn't be so skeptical. Hunter loved me, and I loved him, so there was no problem!One year later, he invited me to his birthday party. It was at his parents' house. Oh, great. I was not looking forward to seeing his Mom again. But I had to be there for Hunter no matter what.But still...every time we saw each other, she made it clear that she didn't approve of my relationship with Hunter.On the night of the party, I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my outfit nervously. The dress, a creation he had once admired, was now complete. I took a deep

TatianaAs Hunter's fingers intertwined with mine, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. I had never done this before, but with Hunter by my side, I felt completely at ease.He brushed my cheeks with his fingertips."I've wanted this for so long," he said softly. "But I didn't want to rush you or make you uncomfortable."I smiled at his words, feeling touched that he had been considerate of my feelings. "I trust you," I told him sincerely."I'm glad," Hunter replied, before leaning in to press his lips against mine.The kiss was gentle yet passionate, igniting a fire in me that I hadn't known existed. His lips moved expertly against mine, and I found myself responding eagerly.As our kisses deepened, Hunter's hands began to explore my body, sending shivers down my spine. We broke the kiss momentarily as he peppered light kisses along my jawline and down my neck."You're so beautiful," he whispered between kisses, making me blush yet again. His hands continue
The Billionaire's Secret Daughter 64. Model for Me
TatianaIn the dimly lit dorm room, I stood nervously in front of my closet. I stared at the half-finished dress hanging on the door. The fabric was a rich red color, flowing and elegant, with intricate gold embroidery along the hem and sleeves.I haven't shown it to anyone yet, but I thought it was my best work. For some reason, I felt like showing it to Hunter. We have been dating for over a month now, and I figured it was time I shared my work with him. I wanted Hunter's opinion before I called it done.Hunter was waiting for me in the living room area. I hadn't told him why I had called him here yet, so I took a deep breath and went to meet him."Well? What's the big emergency?" Hunter asked.I looked at him, biting my lip as he stared at me. He was dressed casually in jeans and a plain white t-shirt, looking handsome as always."I wanted to show you something," I said."Oh, really? What would that be?" he asked."Close your eyes," I said softly.Hunter raised an eyebrow but obeye
The Billionaire's Secret Daughter 63. Mother's Approval
TatianaAs we followed Evelyn to the dining room, I couldn't help but feel the weight of her disapproval lingering in the air.We took our seats, and Evelyn turned her attention to me once again, her gaze filled with scrutiny."So, Tatiana," she began, her voice dripping with condescension. "Hunter's father will join us briefly, but tell me more about yourself.""Um...I am an only child. My parents are from here in New York," I said.Evelyn raised an eyebrow, as if expecting more."That's...interesting," she responded, her tone not quite matching the word. "What do your parents do?""Both of my parents are teachers," I answered, hoping to add a bit more substance to my background.Evelyn's lips formed a tight line, and she leaned back in her chair. "Teachers, huh? They are quite underpaid, aren't they?" Evelyn said."Yes, but they love what they do," I said defensively.Hunter shot me a supportive look, but Evelyn continued, undeterred. "And what about your own ambitions, Tatiana? Wha
The Billionaire's Secret Daughter 62. He is Not Right
Tatiana"Why did you have to be so rude to Hunter?" I scolded Frederick when we met up at the coffee shop later."I don't like that guy, Tatiana. I don't think he is good for you," Frederick said."And how would you know that, Fred?" I asked, feeling annoyed. Frederick and I grew up together, and sometimes he acted like he knew everything about me and knew all my needs, but it was starting to get old. It felt like he was overstepping boundaries, thinking he had the authority to dictate who was good for me and who wasn't."He's just not the right fit for you, Tati. I can see it," Frederick replied, a hint of concern in his eyes.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Fred, you're not my guardian. I appreciate your concern, but I can make my own decisions. Hunter is my choice, and I'd appreciate it if you respected that."Frederick leaned back, crossing his arms. "I just don't want to see you get hurt.""I can take care of myself, Fred," I retorted. "You don't get to decide who's ri

HunterThe corners of my mouth twitched as I couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the look on Tatiana's face. "I am sorry, Tati. I didn't mean to scare you," I said slyly, trying to hide my amusement.Tatiana's expression only grew more worried. "Well, you are scaring me, Hunter. We've only been dating for three weeks!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.Feeling guilty now, I took her hand in mine. "I am sorry," I said sincerely, suddenly concerned that I had overstepped.She looked at me with wide doe eyes. "Why are you apologizing?""I just...I'm afraid I may be moving too fast." My words came out in a rush as I tried to explain myself. "I swear I'm not some kind of psycho. I just..."Interrupting me, Tatiana spoke up firmly. "Hunter, you don't have to explain anything to me. I'm not actually scared.""But you are," I insisted, knowing that my actions had caused her fear and uncertainty. "I know you may not even love me yet and here I am talking about marriage. God...

TatianaI yelped and pushed him off, then quickly lowered the heat on the stove. Hunter burst into laughter, and I joined him, the tension disappearing."Phew...you saved the soup. You are on a roll at saving lives today," he quipped, wiping a mock sweat off his forehead.I rolled my eyes. "You have a talent for turning any situation into a joke.""It's a gift," he replied with a wink."Go sit down on the couch and I will bring you a bowl," I ordered."Yes, Madam!" Hunter saluted and rushed back to the couch.I shook my head and searched for a bowl in the cabinets. Then with the bowl in hand, I returned to the living room, finding Hunter already seated on the couch, looking both amused and hungry."Here you go," I said, handing him the bowl."Ah, the heroine returns with the healing potion," he teased, taking the bowl with a grin.I rolled my eyes. "Just eat your soup before it gets cold."He nodded obediently, blowing on a spoonful of soup before taking a careful sip. "Mmm, deliciou

TatianaI don't know why I was kissing him after I resisted him so much, but I didn't feel any regret doing it. As I pulled away from the kiss, I couldn't help but smile at the irony of the situation. Here we were, in a hospital room, surrounded by medical equipment, and we were sharing a tender moment that made the whole environment seem like a dream.But the reality of the situation was far from ideal. Hunter wasn't a hundred percent better, and his recovery was far from guaranteed. He was weak, and I could see the pain in his eyes, even when he wasn't in physical discomfort."I am already regretting kissing you," I whispered, my voice low and barely audible.Hunter smiled with his eyes. "You are lying," he managed to utter. And despite the gravity of the situation, I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my chest as I looked at him.We sat in silence for a while, holding hands."Should I call your mom?" I suddenly realized his family may not know about this yet."Nah," Hunter said d

Hunter"Congratulations on getting engaged to the perfect woman, Hunter," Tatiana said, her voice full of bitterness."I am not getting engaged to Natasha," I said irritably. "My mom is always pushing random girls toward me, saying they are 'perfect' for me.""Well, she is. I don't know why you brought me down here, Hunter. I don't belong in your world," Tatiana said, looking around. "My world? What do you mean by that?" I furrowed my eyebrows."A world full of designer clothes and lavish parties. My family isn't like yours. They are simple and could barely afford to send me to the university," she said."Are you suggesting everything was handed to me? Should I feel ashamed of that?" I asked.Tatiana shook her head. "I am not saying that. I am just saying we are not a good match, so this was a mistake."I sighed, feeling frustrated and confused. Tatiana's words struck a nerve, and I realized that our worlds were vastly different."Tatiana, I didn't bring you here to show off or make
