Chapter 435 EVEN MY LIFE [2/2]
Caroline stood up and tried to touch my arm.
"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME! GUESS WHAT CAROLINE! THE JOHN YOU KNEW IS LONG DEAD! HE DIED A MONTH AGO IN SOME ALLEY!"
"You know that's not true John. Wounds heal, but love like yours doesn't die that easily. I am sorry. I made a mistake. I know I still have a place in your heart. In fact, I only came here to meet you.
I..."
"What the fuck am I doing? I have the Sirens. And I'm getting married tomorrow. I shouldn't have even talked to you. This was a mistake," I growled out loud.
"What? What do you mean, married? You were telling the truth?"
"{You will forget everything that has happened in the last ten minutes.}"
I invoked death resonance and neuralyzed all my classmates and the waitress. They were all facing my direction. It seemed that everyone was watching my outburst like a Netflix drama.
Unable to bear the sight of my ex's face, I stormed out. As I entered the main building, the Reapers of Hellsend stopped what they were doing and greeted me with a bow.
Ignoring them I opened a {Portal} without an exit and started screaming into the subspace. I continued shouting for a good five minutes until my throat became hoarse.
When I calmed down, I returned to my table and noticed Caroline smiling back at me.
"John. I was wondering where you were."
"Caroline. Stop talking to me. My fiancés will get angry."
"Stop lying John, I know you still love me."
"I loved you. Loved. As in past tense. So no, I don't anymore. I love the Sirens. Liv, Lilly, Robyn, Jo, Bella, Jas and Aki.
I love them, not you. Forget about me."
"That's not true, is it John? You couldn't forget me. You told me you would only love me until you died."
"Indeed, I did. And I already have. Anyway, I'm going now goodbye."
"What? Stop lying! If you are really involved with these fiancés of yours, bring them out."
"YEAH JOHN! BRING THEM OUT! I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT, BUT I KNOW YOU'RE LYING! The people here, my company going bankrupt! This is a dream! This has got to be some king of vodoo magic bullshit or something!" Experience new tales on empire
What the fuck was Harry saying? Vodoo magic bullshit? This fucker must have been drunk. Ignoring him, I was about to leave the reunion for good, but then Caroline grabbed my arm and declared in a loud voice.
"John, I still love you. I want you back. Let us try again. I know your heart belongs to me."
Before I could even answer, voices I had missed so much chimed in behind me.
"Is it common for Southerners to be so delusional?"
"I don't know. It takes a special kind of crazy to be that deranged. Maybe someone worse than the nut job?"
"Hey! Stop being rude, Bella! She is crazier!"
"Jo, you should deny being crazy before anything else."
"If that Sheila doesn't let go of Possum, I'm going to rip her boob off her chest!"
"Robyn, just accept that you are flat. Tearing women's breasts off is a disturbing hobby. Dearest wouldn't approve."
"I find her rather unpleasant. Lilly-sama, can I bury her now?"
I quickly turned around and saw the Sirens. They were wearing extremely seductive dresses that showcased their assets.
Liv, Lilly, Bella wore daring designs that showed a glimpse of their curves. Their dresses showed off their sexy plunging backs, long necks and deep cleavages.
Jas, Robyn and Jo, on the other hand, wore dresses that hugged their bodies but had strategic cutouts or thin material.
Aki stunned as she wore a custom-made qipao with a boob window. Lined up together, practically everyone stood awestruck.
Every man who saw them, would covet them. And every woman would die from jealousy of their gorgeous looks and flawless figures.
But for me, what they brought was not only such beauty, but also peace. Whatever negative feelings I might have had melted away like snow. The peanut gallery fell silent at my angels.
"Hello everyone, you all look absolutely breathtaking. I feel like I have fallen in love all over again," I confessed like a bewitched idiot.
Wordlessly, they all walked towards me. Liv, however, strode past me and over to Caroline before she asked in a fierce but polite tone.
"Unhand my beloved, if you please, I will not ask again."
Frightened by Liv's oppressive attitude, Caroline released me. Meanwhile, the other Sirens began giving me quick hugs and kisses. In less than a minute, my mood went from bad to extremely happy.
"Yoh! Are you for real?" "They are all with JOHN of all people?" "This group is even more stunning than the last one!" "So pretty." "Dude, isn't that Lilly Browning?" "No way! You got to be kidding me!" "It is!" "Oh my gosh! John is dating THE Lilly Browning?"
Hearing the praise of my classmates, Lilly quickly moved to my side and flashed a dazzling smile.
"See, dearest? I told you I was a big deal. How has your reunion been so far?"
"It's been the worst, but with you all finally here, I am extremely happy now," I replied as I nuzzled her swan-like neck.
"Darling! Tell me who you like best! It's me, right? Do I look hot?"
Pleased to hear Jo's energetic words again, I stroked her face as I answered.
"Very, I almost want to make love to you right here. You look gorgeous!"
"Hehe, darling said I look gorgeous!"
"Husband, what about me?" "Possum! Me too!" "My love, I hope you find this dress pleasing." "Shujin, are you satisfied?" "It's not like I wanted your praise or anything, okay, Mr. Code!"
My girls all started demanding compliments like children. With a smile on my face, I lavishly praised their beauty.
Of course, when I considered that they must have gone to a lot of trouble to dress up for me. My happiness swelled uncontrollably.
"Excuse me, Ms. Lilly Browning? How do you know MY John Smith?"
Her words practically caused all seven of my girls to face her with blood lust oozing out of them. Happy with their love for me, I sent affection by the boatload to my girls through our Pseudo Kindred connection.
Lilly walked over to Caroline and smiled maliciously.
"Please refrain from indulging your penchant for delusional fantasies, Ms. Fisher. First of all, you are mistaken. This man is MY John Smith, not yours. You left yours, despite how much he adored you. For that incorrigible man over there, I might add."
We all looked at Harry as he stormed towards us. His face was beyond angry.
Bella then made a vicious face as she added.
"Maybe you should focus on your man first, Caroline. After all, you threw away gold for that piece of trash."
Suddenly a loud, obnoxious ringing sounded. Its source? Harry's pocket. He pulled out the phone and answered it.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?" he yelled.
But as the other line began to speak, I could see his face contort in real time.
"Wait! What do you mean, cut me off? I am your son! You can't do this to me! It's not my fault! I was betrayed by Sirens Incorporated!
We should find their company and sue them for fraud!"
When I heard the word Siren, I turned to my harem, who all had impish grins on their faces. Knowing how evil my girls could be, I connected to the Minerva server and asked them.
[Limitless: Girls you didn't...]
[Vela: Darling! Belated Happy Birthday! Hope you like our gift! Hehehe!]
[Satis: Husband, Jo is delusional. We didn't do anything.]
[Rhiannon: Possum, I didn't touch him! Honest.]
"ARGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! I WILL KILL THEM! IT IS OBVIOUSLY THEM! MY CAR! MY SHOE! EVEN MY COFFEE!
THESE FUCKING SHITS ARE OUT TO GET ME! WELL, TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME!"
After his ominous monologue, Harry smashed what looked like the latest Iphone to the floor. The device was helplessly destroyed as Harry headed for the door.
[Freyja: Isn't he broke already? And he still keeps smashing such expensive gadgets.]
[Minerva: Hahaha! My new goal in life is to get that bastard to smash 100 phones! I still have 91 to go!]
Harry suddenly fell and hit his face on the floor. Then he suddenly started to shit his pants while convulsing.
[Ishtar: Aki, did you give him something again? He will die of dehydration at this rate.]
[Inari: I have no idea what you are talking about Lilly-sama]
"..."
Somehow, I began to wish that this reunion would become an annual event.
