Illoha's POV:
I sit silently across from the General. We're waiting for Dex. I don't know why.
"So, Illoha... how's dad?" He asks.
"Wants my dead girlfriend's son dead." I state bluntly.
"That's... rough..." He sighs.
I hear a whirr from behind me and Dex appeared.
"Sorry I'm late!" He laughs and sits next to me.
"Great. Now we begin." The General smiles. It's fake.
I read his mind. "I can't believe I'm doing this."
Well that's descriptive.
"You have a visitor Illoha." He states.
Dex looks at me, confused.
"Who might that be?" I ask.
"Hello, Illoha." My father comes through the teleporter.
"Aw hell." Dex stands up, hand on his gun.
"Dex." He nods towards him, "Put the gun down? Yes?"
Dex does so, but stands by me, "Illoha where is Foxete."
The two of us look at each other.
"She's exactly where you wanted her." Dex states.
"Oh good. She's dead?" He chuckles.
"Yeah." Dex scoffs.
My dad is silent for a moment.
"Really?" He asks.
Dex sighs, "Watched her blow up in front of me."
"Well... that.. is news." My father looks at me uncomfortably, "Well, that means you can accept the proposal for the arrangement!"
"Arrangement?" I ask.
"You will be getting married." He nods.
I glare at the General, "Excuse me?"
"To Mika." My traitorous father smiles.
I gag.
ANYONE but him.
He sighs, "He's a general Illoha."
"Yeah and I'm the future Governor." I scoff.
Dad sighs, "Exactly. You need to make an appearance. Hybrids are not the way to go."
"Father please." I beg,
"Let's go. I have your crew already boarded. They will be brought back to New Keekos. I'm doing this because I care." He tries to comfort me.
Anyone but him. Please. I don't want to marry a man.
Especially not General I-Know-What's-Best.
