Walking on thin ice

When genesis snapped out of all those memories she found herself at the end of the training course. She reached the final end and accepted Nikola's water bottle, gulping down the cold substance.

At the cool sensation, she sighed in relief and took a seat looking back at all of what she had gotten through. Not smoothly, of course, she was panting and sweating but she had gone through it without her father present and pressuring her. Genesis counted that as a small success.

At least she could complete something without her father here. Something that connected them deeply.

She muttered a curse when she realized what she was doing to herself. She still called herself that man's daughter. Despite the truth. And even if Ethan had called her earlier today telling her he sent their blood for testing just to double-check things, Genesis was sure they aren't related.
