So chillax on the beach

There’s no worries in the coral islands everything is perfect all the time, don’t you know?

How �� much �� Anthem �� hates �� Charlie

Anthem resents Charlie. And part of it is because he’s not willing to resent Ithea.

He had a good thing going with Aidian, a respectably strong but ultimately submissive partner is good for an ego stroking, which Anthem is always up for.

Then Ithea shows up and turns everything upside down. He has a hard time saying no to her since she’s hot and also he’s had a crush on her for like ten years and ultimately, he’s more interested in a challenge than in someone submissive. But Children. Aidian, had she survived her conflict with Ithea, would not have kept Charlie. She would have given him up to another draconian family probably, but Anthem would not have had to deal with him.

But Ithea keeps Charlie and flaunts Charlie and loves Charlie so much. Anthem is both angry and jealous, did not want children, does not want this child. He gets used to the idea of children and unbends a little more for each one but his dislike of Charlie crystallizes because he does not want to admit he was wrong.

And the more he dislikes the Charlie the more he and Ithea fight about him, the less willing Anthem is to have him around until, grief stricken over Ithea’s death, their mutual dislike for one another explodes into its inevitable conclusion.
