《The Boy Who Read Minds ✔️》39:\\ Intimate Relations
Advertisement
Dr. Dooley stopped by today. I had to explain to him that his daughter was in the room with a boy and that he was not allowed to see her.
"I came here for Violet, let me in Amelia." Dr. Dooley said as he stood at the front door of our house.
"Look Robert. You don't live here anymore. And you need to call in advance before visiting here."
"Amelia, why? Darling?" He said like he used to. The words still made my heart flutter as I watched him. His blue eyes crinkled at the ends, his handsome face was now shaped with gray and black stubble. His hair had a streak of gray on either side of his fade. He was still the Robert I had fallen in love with. I needed to stop thinking like this; I just missed him. That's all.
"I don't know what to tell you Robert. You've hurt us too much. Please leave."
"I can't, my daughter called me seeking help. I have to help her." He looked like a lonely man who was desperate. I felt sorry for him. He drowned himself in his work and therefore ended up neglecting his family.
"Dr. Dooley, please just leave. Come back another day." I said, I hoped he would heed the warning that my Ethan was upstairs in the same bed that Robert and I had shared for years.
He ignored me, as usual and barged right in. But Violet was asleep with the boy doing his homework on her desk. Innocent enough. His name was Aaron, as I'd learned, but I didn't care to look further into their sort of relationship. Violet had taken up the moral obligation of celibacy, so I wasn't worried that anything was going on. She still always wore her promise ring and I would certainly notice the moment she took it off.

I stood by the door, watching Robert carefully.
"Who are you?" He asked Aaron. Aaron turned to face Dr. Dooley. A look of recognition flashed across his features, then disappeared within seconds.
"Hi, I'm Aaron. I'm Violet's boyfriend. You must be her father. It's a pleasure to meet you." Aaron politely stood up to shake Robert's hand.
Violet stirred in the bed, mumbling incoherent words and groaning. I chuckled, typical of Violet to complain if anyone tried to wake her up.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Dr. Robert Dooley." Robert shook Aaron's hand and then went over to Violet.
"Violet, sweetie. Wake up." Violet moaned again, turning on her side and away from Robert. I saw Aaron chuckle in the corner of my eye as he watched her endearingly. Did he like her?
"Go away Aaron." She mumbled as she moved closer to the wall and away from Robert.
"It's not Aaron. Sweetie, it's me." Dr. Dooley said as Violet shot awake. She stared in disbelief at her father as I stood in the corner watching cautiously. If he laid a single had on her, he would be out of here.
"Dad?" She said, her eyes slightly hazy as Aaron crosses his arms. He eyes my ex-husband deeply, I wished I knew what he was thinking.
Aaron turned to look at me with a sparkle in his eye as he turned back to face Violet.
"Dad, we need to talk to you." Violet announced as she stood up and grabbed Aaron's arm. Dr. Dooley eyes the couple suspiciously before putting his suitcase on the ground.
"I'm all ears sweetie." He grinned. I took that as my cue to leave.
Heading down the hallway and into my room lay Ethan.
"What was that all about?" He asked, his arms crossed over his slightly out-of-shape stomach. I sort of wished he had the physique of Robert, but as soon as the thought came through my mind, I expelled it. Men that look like Robert are bound to treat women with a lack of respect and have a tendency to be abusive.

I tried to push back the thoughts of all the times he had laid his hands on my daughter as I shuddered.
"It was Robert. He said Violet called him so he came to see her."
"Why would she do that?"
"Beats me." I shrugged, walking over to the bed. "Now, where were we?"
A wicked smile appeared on Ethan's lips as I sat beside him.

In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
