Chasing After My Wife Chapter 264
Advertisement
That afternoon, Jillyanna was inside the study room, checking the research that her mother did few years back. She held on to her mother's belonging when she died. She scanned all her research papers and placed it on a tiny pikachu designed flash drive. After that she deleted all the files and burned all the papers. The only remaining paper she didn't burn was their marriage certificate and the unsigned divorce papers.
Nobody thought that the keychain she always bring wherever she went was the answer to their non-stop harassment and chasing.
"They were all idiots!" Jillyanna commented while reading the details of the research. Even though she's smart, she hates physics and math. She skimmed through the files and removed the drive when she was done. She deleted all her traces like how Shein taught her. She also told Shein to hack her laptop to make sure that nothing remains of the project.
"Sis, we will have a little celebration later for Riley's new project. Do you want to come?" Shein asked her through a phone call since he was busy checking her laptop from afar.
"You guys enjoy. I have things to do later." Jillyanna refused his offer for dinner. "Ask Riley to drop by the hospital tomorrow morning. I have something for her."
"Okay. I'll let her know." Jillyanna could her the sounds of keyboards being pressed and her smile was spreading from ear to ear. "Sis, everything's fine. Nothing's left regarding the research. Are you really going to hold on to that forever?"
"Nope. I am just waiting for someone. If ever she chose to take the same field as my mom, I'll give this to her."
"Jenny?"
"Yes. She will be entering college soon and she once told me that she wanted to be a heart surgeon. If she hasn't change her mind, I'll give this to her. If not, I'll sell this research."

"That's a good idea. I hope Jenny will proceed though. It will be a big help to her."
"Right. I agree."
"Anyway sis, I have to go look for Jackie now. We still have to take care of your empire. Bye now." Shein ended the call since he had to deal with some matter that Jackie asked him to find. It was for a variety show that Riley wanted to take part in before the filming of her movie starts.
Jillyanna was all alone again in her the study room. She played with her phone to pass the time because she didn't want to go back to the hospital yet.
Not long after the call ended, Jillyanna received an e-mail from the attorney that Dr. Sweden mentioned. It was attorney Lewis who handled his father's affairs.
The last time Jillyanna visited her father's company was when the time her mother looked for him. After that, she never stepped foot in that building. She wouldn't even spare it a single glance whenever she passed by it.
The attorney was asking her if she could make time for him that afternoon. Without any hesitation, Jillyanna told him to come over to her house to discuss whatever issue her father has.
"Is he guilty that he wouldn't even face me directly?" Jillyanna mumbled while typing her reply to the man. "Now I remember, this attorney was the one who gave us the house transfer documents. Why didn't he tell us anything back then? He could've just told us everything. Duhh!" She rolled her eyes at the thought while waiting for his reply. When she got his response, Jillyanna closed her laptop and brought it back to her room.
She was lying on her bed again to relax her nerves, got nothing else to do so she decided to check on Travis, even if it means she would be disappointed.

Contrary to her expectation, Travis woke up around 11 o'clock. She watched him the moment he opened his eyes and the frown he's got while looking around. He wasn't saying anything and he didn't move around. He was just moving his head from left to right then back to left.
Jillyanna looked at the time and found that he was conscious for almost five minutes. However, in that five minutes he didn't even mention her name or looked for her. He remained silent while observing the place he was in.
Jillyanna couldn't stop herself from crying. She was getting more worried every single day that had passed. Not once did she hear him call her name. And looking at his expression, he looked like a lost child, confused and worried.
Jillyanna watched it over and over again even though there wasn't any changes. It was still the same silent Travis.
Jillyanna fast-forwarded the time but there was no other moment of his conscious state. He had been sleeping all the way until at the moment she was checking the current time.
"I'll check it again tonight." Jillyanna murmured before closing her laptop once again. This time, she finally placed it inside her bag.
She's left with nothing to do again so she went outside and walked towards the kitchen to drink a glass of milk. She went to the back garden and saw Auntie Fei cutting some dead leave from the flower plants.
"Jillyanna, don't come out. It's very dusty and it is not good for your health." Auntie Fei told her and ushered her back to the house. "Stay inside. Call me if you need anything but don't come out."
Jillyanna just smiled at the kind woman and behaved herself. She was just about to go upstairs when she spotted a man who came down from a black car.
Jillyanna looked at the old man who was looking at her house. She decided to see him personally in case he needed something.
"Are you Ms. Jillyanna?" the man asked while looking at her from head to toe. "You've grown."
"Are you the lawyer?"
"Yes."
"Oh! Come in. I didn't recognize you." Jillyanna led him inside with a shaking hand. She was trying to relax earlier but now she's getting nervous again.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you.

But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
