The illusion Of Happily Ever After のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Liam’s POV:Our plane finally landed, we got out of the airport, and Julian kept filling me in on this mysterious man we were meeting.Still can’t believe he said yes to the invitation from the Flynns, the biggest mafia family in America.“Can you guess how many baby mamas this man has?” Julian asked, and I really didn’t want to guess.“6, he has six baby mamas, and some have three kids, others two, and one. He lives in the same apartment with his kids and isn’t even married to any of those baby mamas.”“Hmm, I see where you got your inspiration from,” I scoffed, and Julian laughed. There was a man in a black suit with a signboard with the name Julian Green.“There, that’s our ride.”We walked to the man, who extended a hand to me. “You must be Liam Styles. I am the butler of the Flynn family, Greg,” he introduced, and I accepted his handshake.“Oh man, look there…” Julian screamed in excitement when a black limousine parked before us, and I sighed… He had no idea what it meant to mee

Liam’s POV:We returned to the game, and Leo insisted we continue rather than starting over, so I said yes.“You should start over,” Julian kept saying, but I didn’t mind continuing the game. It was either the kid was just so good at chess or Julian was a mess.I watched him slide the pieces before he looked up at me.I moved my pieces, and we kept playing for two minutes, and now he was out of pieces; he scratched his hair before standing up.“Umm…you won. Congratulations,” Leo said and turned to leave when Julian called out.“We will watch your presentation.”I frowned at him. Why does he keep making decisions for me?“Really?” He jumped up in excitement, and I sighed, Can’t wait for tomorrow morning.We followed the kid to the conference room, and Julian scanned the place before he muttered, “They even have a conference room at home?”“Here, please have a seat,” Leo said. We both sat close to the projector, and he switched it on.There was a family picture of Mr. Flynn and his kids

Aria’s POV:No, they had accepted it then, and we did few modifications, but after it was published, they cancelled it.They were going to let my book go down the drain.And proof? What proof do I need? She personally told me at the restaurant that they cancelled it.“Here is an easy way out, Aria: you take down the manuscript from wherever you self-published and let the publishing house handle the publishing and distributing. This time around we will make the share 70-30; you get 70 percent, and we get 30. We just want to make you feel comfortable.”I clenched my fist and stared at Caleb; this was the moment he came in.He picked up his folder and retracted a document. “Maybe you should get your lawyer to reread the contract,” he said, and Isa chuckled.“You can do it and tell me if she breached the contract or not.”“She didn’t,” he replied, and Isa walked forward.“You know she did, and we definitely don’t wish to take such a light matter to court, and those self-publishing platfor

Liam’s POV:I didn’t know why I didn’t ask Aria to come with me when I was at her place; I could tell she so badly wanted to come with.Now she makes me crave for her presence by choosing to have a nap; it was already 4:13PM, but she didn’t show up.DingThe doorbell.It must be her. I walked to the door and pulled it open, but my brows furrowed and a frown formed on my lips.It was the Freyo princess.Jasmine.She stood there dressed in an above-the-knee red gown, held a shopping bag, and smiled at me. “Hey.”I was pretty sure she got my home address from Julian; that dude could do anything for money.I walked back inside, about to lock the door, when Jasmine hurried and stood there. “Let’s talk, please.”She pushed her way inside, stood before me, and batted her eyelids. “We have so much in common, Liam.”“I doubt it,” I answered.“We simply want to make our parents happy and proud, and we both know the only way your mom would be happy is if she reunites with her husband.”Yeah…I kn

Aria’s POV:I know it’s forbidden for a witch to be with a vampire or for a human to be with a bloodsucker, but I read many novels where it was possible; they overcame everything to be together.But this was reality, and I was allowed to date whoever I wanted. Why was Father acting like I dated someone supernatural?Sighed heavily and parked my car, retracted my phone, and called Ava, and it got connected. “Don’t go to my place and…”“Already did,” she chimed. “Hey…leave my phone,” I heard Ava yell, and next thing I knew, Kraig was on the line.“Come home, Aria; no one is going to hurt or say anything bad to you,” he assured me, but I knew better than to believe him. Earlier I had walked out on Father because I didn’t want us exchanging words, but I never imagined he would call everyone over.“Aria, come over now, or I will go look for you at Greenwich,” he said, more of a threat. Was he planning on going to search houses in Rita’s community? Were those people a joke to them?I was cl
