Chasing After My Wife Chapter 258
Advertisement
"Stop sulking over it. Just make sure to explain everything once he is fully recovered." Savannah spoke softly to her. She knew it could cause a misunderstanding between the couple and she was worried that Travis won't want to wake up again. But she didn't say it to Jillyanna. She didn't want burden her up with another painful thought.
At the same time, she also believed that Travis won't judge his wife without knowing the truth. Only their faith and love for each other could help them overcome this tricky situation.
"He was really awake?" Hawk asked Savannah to assure himself. "It wasn't my imagination?"
"He did wake up. Anyway, Auntie Fei will be bringing her food for dinner again so I'll buy food for us."
"Okay. Be extra careful."
"Yes sir!"
Savannah just reached the door when Jillyanna called to her. "Can you buy me lollipops or any sweet candies?"
"Sure. Any preferred flavors?" Savannah asked her.
"None."
"Alright." She left out of the room to grab food for dinner.
Cielo and Lucian came after few minutes that Savannah left. They were looking guilty and upset over something.
"Why are you guys looking like that? Are you really visiting me with those faces?"
They didn't answer her question but Cielo turned towards Lucian. "Can you step out for a while? I want to talk to her alone."
"What's this all about? Why are you being sneaky in front of me?" Still no one answered her. She lifted her hand and had her fingers touch-and-open together like it was talking to her. "Let me talk to myself then."
Cielo walked up to her slowly as if she was so hard to approach. She started to feel something wrong when she looked at her eyes - Cielo was avoiding her gaze.

"After all these years, are you feeling guilty now? You shouldn't be because you have the right to be upset or get jealous."
"What?" Cielo was dumbfounded with the things Jillyanna was saying. "Huh? Uhh..Huh? How did you know?"
Jillyanna sighed and stood up from her seat before walking towards the couch with Cielo following behind her.
"Sit down and let's talk. I can't believe I had to wait for a decade before you would talk to me about this." Jillyanna was so laid back with their topic since she knew it all along. She was wanted to hear it directly from Cielo.
"Have I been acting like a fool around you all these years?" Cielo asked, shaking from anxiety and fear. She knew that everything will be changed after this conversation.
"Not really. You were just being honest. Who wouldn't be upset if you were being compared to a nobody in your family? Why would you be jealous when they paid more attention to a nobody in your family instead of you? Why wouldn't you get mad when your husband lied to you because a nobody told him to do so? Why wouldn't you be jealous when people often say a nobody is smarter than you? I know all along that you were upset of my existence and it made you feel jealous. Over time, you started to accept the fact that you can't really get rid of me in your life and we became best of friends. However, two years ago, I started to see the same look of jealousy in your eyes. I guess it was when you found out that Lucian kept another secret from you because of me. Then, another secret was added and another layer and another, until it was towering and you didn't know if you could trust him again. You blamed me for that."

Cielo felt like her whole body became numb, like she was stripped naked in front of her. All along, she was exposed yet Jillyanna didn't say anything. She continued to act like there wasn't anything wrong. She continued to live her life like how she wanted it. Jillyanna never once blame her when she failed their business at some point. She didn't utter a single harsh words to her.
Cielo cried on her seat from being exposed by the person she's jealous of. "I'm sorry. I didn't really want to feel this way but I can't help it. I'm really sorry Yanna."
"Nope. You don't have to be sorry. In fact, I am thankful that you finally found yourself some courage and talk to me about this."
"Aren't you angry that I blame you and that I was jealous of you?"
"Why should I be angry? It is true that I took your parents from you. It is true that Lucian lied to you because of me. So, I don't have the right to get angry."
Cielo cried even more. She was so useless and foolish for harboring such evil thoughts against Jillyanna when she actually got no one beside her. Jillyanna was all alone and she didn't even tell them that she found kids overseas and make them her siblings.
'Did she find the siblings she was looking for in them, that she couldn't find from me? Is that why the seemed rather closer compared to me? Was I really unreliable? She even found Jenny. She must have really wanted a sibling but I didn't give it to her.' Her thoughts were adding fuel to her pain and she couldn't stop herself from crying.
"Stop crying and don't feel bad about it. It's really nothing to me." Jillyanna tried comforting her but that was the only thing she could say.
"I'm sorry."
"I forgive you already a long time ago so stop crying and wipe your tears and snots. Geez! You're messy!" Jillyanna exclaimed and teased her while handing the tissue to her.
"Did you eat dinner already?" Cielo asked her to change their topic. "Maybe we could eat together."
"Thanks for the offer but I can't. Auntie Fei will be here soon with my food. Travis didn't want me to eat anything else but those dishes."
"I see. Then, I will see you again next time. Come home when you have time as well."
"Sure. I'll take a rain check." Jillyanna watched Cielo go out of the room. A faint smile formed in her lips.
"Jillyanna?" Cielo's head was popping at the door. "You are not a nobody. You are my sister. Bye now."

Age of Regression
[Author's Thoughts] Dropped, obviously. Still, it's my first attempt at a novel and I do love what I did with it. Big step towards learning. Far in the past, there was a civilization much more advanced than the one of modern times. Evidence of that time remains, but it is all but shrouded in mystery as there remains no way to decipher it. Currently, normal individuals wage war with guns and smaller machinery, but those who can wield a higher power vary in their abilities. Scales, born upon humans, are a mystery in their origins but are the source of their abilities and their way towards advancement. Although normally powerless, humans have adapted to the scales and thus can connect with the power of the universe, much like the other races that inhabit its various corners. In one of these corners, there exists a human settlement where Lancing follows his father's footsteps to begin his own ascent to power. However, he finds he is far different from his gifted father, whose scales below his eyes were among the purest ever seen, reaching gem-like quality. Far from perfect, Lancing shows no desire to give up and ceaselessly moves forward to reach the peak of the universe. However, he begins to notice that the mysteries of the universe slowly begin to unravel in front of his eyes. To reach the heavens, Lancing must carve his own path.

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.

Watch as he climbs higher and higher in a world far different than the one he knew and develop strength enough to stand at the top. ** Warning this story has a very slow boil as the MC begins to grow in power from scratch. Starts picking up around chapter 25. As story progresses themes of slavery, human experimentation, and some sexual content will be added. ** This is a story inspired by novels like Warlock of a Magus World and Age of Adept. I will be taking some ideas from each but trying to make my own story using the world ideas i love from these novels. I am also a first time writer mainly doing this while trapped inside due to the events going on in the world. So feedback is appreciated.
