Chapter 14 – His Equations
Jonathan looked at the girl who was most certainly the girl from his childhood, one he had wanted to cherish and marry.
He did not know how to tell her that someone pretended to be her to hurt her.
“Lydia Aprice pretended to be someone I once knew as a kid and came to claim an acquaintance. I felt she was lying but she had all the proof that she was indeed the person that I knew. I have never had any relationship whatsoever with her. The only thing is I let her hover around me until she got in my way or my nerves. And that was because I had no proof that she was fake.”
Liliana looked at him quizzically.
Jonathan did not want to strain their relationship so he kept things vague and concise.
He drank some water and confirmed, “You can rest assured that I won’t be helping her out. I have a score to settle with her as well.”
Liliana nodded with a blank face, “Alright”
Jonathan added, “Vivian Stone is someone I despise from the bottom of my heart. She initially coerced me. But after some time I realized she was rather useful, so I have not gotten back at her. That doesn’t mean I have forgiven her or forgotten the incident. I am just delaying what is due. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold.”
Jonathan smiled coldly and took a sip.
“So, Mrs. Liliana, you can rest assured that I won’t be helping them at all. As for staying neutral, I will follow your lead.”
“Thank you!” Liliana said.
“Don’t worry about it! My concern is the same, I don’t like being taken advantage of. As long as we both are clear on where we stand, they won’t be able to play us against each other,” Jonathan covertly explained why he explained everything to her.
Liliana hid her emotions as she nodded, “On that, we can agree, though I am afraid, I might become your enemy by the end of it all.”
“How’s that?” He asked.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I will probably use you or at least the cooperation during the time.” She said matter-of-factly.
He laughed at that.
“You can do that without overthinking it. It will be my pleasure to see them miserable, especially knowing I contributed or at least was used.”
“Alright, let’s discuss the terms. And you don’t owe me anything.” Liliana said.
Jonathan, Liliana, and Vincent spent a good two hours coming to terms. Then another hour when they finalized and signed the agreement before parting as partners.
