All Chapters of The illusion Of Happily Ever After: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Aria’s POV:I was flying high…higher…why was I flying? I grabbed my head tightly and had difficulties opening my eyes, so I decided to stay put for a while.Dancing was the therapy I never knew I needed, the more I moved my body, the more I felt like the world was created for me, just me. I was the female lead and everyone loved me…they all found me worth every penny.They were attentive to me because I was Aria Nicole, the owner of the world…this was a feeling I never felt.Now my eyes felt light and I was able to slowly open it, I scanned the place and my brows furrowed, I was in a car.“Huh?” I sat up and gripped my head tightly, oh God I was still not use to drinking so much.“Good morning, Burgundy,” I heard a familiar voice say next to me. It was Liam; he sat in the driver’s seat while staring at me.I scanned our surroundings, and we were close to my parents' place. “What’s the time?” What if I was already discovered? If Mother and Father find out that I wasn’t in the bedroom,

Aria’s POV:It was surprising that I took his words seriously; when he said I was fake, I believed him; he said I was reserved, and I still believed him. Liam added that I was pretty, and for the first time in years, I believed a compliment, and then he said I was lying to myself, and I believed him again.Maybe I have been lying to myself all these years, thinking about a world that was beyond the real world.Fine, I was lying to myself.Well, I could try his strategy, which was obviously going to cost a lot of money. Changing the covers wasn’t a little task; the books were already printed.“What could the new title be?” I had gone through a lot of difficulties coming up with the title ‘Under The Sunset With Mr. Right,’ and honestly, I couldn’t come up with something else that could match the content of my book.“The illusion of happily ever after,” Liam stated, and I frowned at him; he really was trying to rub this in my face that everything I wrote was just my illusion and not a r

Aria’s POV:I walked down the cab and walked into the house. Gigi, father and mother were having coffee in front of the TV, their gazes turned to me.“Aria dear, do you want some coffee?” mother questioned but I shook my head in denial, I just needed to return to my bedroom and be alone.“Where did you go to?” father asked and I bit my bottom lip, why did he have to ask me that question? It was still 6pm and that was quite early.“I have a lot of work to do at the publishing house and the distance is really killing me, so I plan to return to my apartment tomorrow,” I said, giving them no room to bring up excuses and reasons why I should stay here.They exchanged confused gazes before mother walked to me “Your dad could always drop you off every morning,”“No, Mother, I am trying to fix my career, and being here seems like I have taken a break.”“Umm…I am worried you will lose all the weight I spent days trying to build.” Mother pouted, and I knew she was trying to convince me with all

Liam’s POV:I was glad she was having fun. After seeing the Instagram post of her in front of her ex-husband’s law firm, I was scared she would step out with a sad mood and chose to invite her over.Luckily she came; she always does… so cute.“Man,” Alex called. He approached me; he had sunglasses and a cap.He was an exceptional kid, and I’m still proud he made a name for himself in the music industry even though I still think the name ‘Cool Kid’ is really absurd.“My sister told me you were here, so I hurried over,” he said, and my gaze moved to Loan, who was serving some kids smoothies. I only came here because Julian’s daughter, Eli, had forced me to, or else I would have preferred to stay at home and catch a break.“I saw your calls,” I said as we both walked to the smoothie booth, and Loan shoved a cup to me.“I know you said you were only here for fun, but listen to what Alex has to say; I think he is in trouble,” Loan explained, and I smacked my lips. Well, I was still glad to

Aria’s POV:Liam didn’t even say goodbye; he walked to his car with Alex and drove away. I didn’t even get the chance to thank him; he really is the best.“He left; I couldn’t even thank him.” I pouted and turned to Sam, who was still staring at the car, which had just left.“I still can’t believe Alex became a star.” Sam muttered before smacking her lips. “Life is really unpredictable, sister; I mean… A year ago he was just some nuisance playing an instrument in front of our school.” “Really?”“Hmm, he was in love with my best friend and kept trying to get her attention, but she had humiliated him in front of the school; she called him a lowlife and also a joker for thinking she could ever date someone like him.” Did something like that really happen?That was embarrassing.“Anyway, I feel like robbing the bank right now,” she jumped excitedly as we approached my car.“Why?” Does she think being in jail was such a brag?“Because Liam Styles is my lawyer, he will get me out.” She la
