《Mistakes Made. A Hamgelica fic》UNKEPT SECRETS

"When are you going tell her?"
Angelica rolled her eyes and resisted the urge to throw her beverage in the direction of her younger sisters head. Margarita had invited Angelica over for lunch and Angelica reluctantly agreed partly because she didn't want to seem rude but mainly because Angelica needed someone to talk to and talking to Eliza created too much guilt for her to deal with.
'I'll tell her when I'm ready."
Margarita rolled her eyes.
"You know what makes me laugh about this family. Every time one of us say were going to come out and tell a secret it always ends up telling itself at the worst possible moments and that creates physiological pain that our emotionally unstable family can't handle."
Angelica inwardly grimaced at how accurately hurtful the statement was.
" What do you suggest I do."
A small mischievous smile crept onto the youngest Schuyler's face.
"Give her the cold hearted truth. Eliza can't cry over everything she can't have she's been doing that for 21 years. In my personal CORRECT opinion I feel like she needs to women up and grow up."
Angelica sucked at the straw in her refreshment as she considered Peggy's advice. It was true ever since the trio had been little Eliza had always gotten what she wanted. If the sisters were taken to a movie Eliza chose what they were going to see. If they were playing pretend Eliza was in charge of their fake household and as ridiculous as it sounded this carried on after young childhood. In high school the insanely popular Angelica and Margarita missed out on various parties because Eliza didn't like some of the people there and didn't want her sisters going if she wasn't going. Peggy must've noticed Angelica's expressions because she quickly chimed in.

"I know you know it's true and honestly so what if Eliza doesn't like it. For once in your life Ange make a decision that's going to make you happy."
The two sat in the comfortable silence.
"Angelica I know you don't think I don't or haven't noticed the sacrifices you've made for us over the years but I do and if this is going to make you happy me or Eliza or the whole god damn universe shouldn't get in the way of that."
Margarita went in for an awkward hug considering she hadn't hugged anyone in a while. Margarita was not the best as showing affection. Peggy had left and Angelica was left with the bill and her thoughts. Angelica had been sitting for 15 minutes when her phone vibrated. Angelica looked down to see a text from Alexander.
"You need to get down to central park there are about three horrible parents and I refuse to people watch by myself."
Anglica smiled before paying and rushing out of the high end establishment.
Angelica ran to the subway while thinking. " Sorry Eliza but this one's mine."

Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
