Illusions of Love Chapter 13: Let Go

Series Premise: After abdicating the throne 5 months following his failed proposal to Riley, Liam is shocked to discover her married to Francesco. They rehash the events of the engagement tour, attempting to find closure.

Catch up here!

Chapter Summary: Maxwell leaves. Riley and Francesco talk. Liam and Riley go over the tea party and opera.

A/N: The tea party is not a big deal here, Riley already knows it was Constantine, that whole scene doesn’t make sense. I was originally going to leave the opera out, but Regina’s part felt too important.

Anything from Francesco’s POV is Riley remembering what he told her as she’s talking to Liam. She isn’t relaying this information to Liam. She’s only telling him what was said out loud with Francesco. Riley isn’t going into detail with kisses or anything along those lines.

Canon TRR book 1.

TRR Book 2: Riley and Liam’s interactions are mostly canon, her inner monologue is not.

Major Book 2 Canon Deviations: Olivia isn’t being blackmailed. No Justin. Maxwell is not canon. Shanghai is part of the tour, but Hana isn’t in the season. Francesco wasn’t friends with Liam’s mother, and is 42. Hana’s mother and Francesco’s ex-wife are a couple. Book 3 didn’t happen.

I think Hana is following Sav and Drake is behind Max. 🤔

I want to kick Kate and her family asses. They're all annoying.

Leo needs to tell Riley he's married, although it'll broke her heart, she needs to know.

Otherwise this was amazing as always, can't wait to read the next chapters. 💖

I love this serie, but Riley deserves more than this Liam, this chapter was really good, sometimes we need to see the worst to know what to do. 💖

Illusions of Love Chapter 12: What Little Remains

Catch up here!

Chapter Summary: Riley and Liam go over the bachelor party. Liam recounts how he found out about Riley and Francesco.

A/N: I did not include Riley and Liam’s bachelor party interaction. The bit in this chapter about him finding out was painful, and I couldn’t do it. It’s canon with the least leading on options. Which are not great.

I’m not sure how I feel about this chapter, I just don’t know. The next chapter is almost done, the rest have been outlined for a while, so this bitch is getting closer to being finished.

Big thank you to @burnsoslow for letting me pick your brain with all the questions re: Damien and Constantine. ❤️
