"Okay, I'll be there to confirm everything tomorrow," I speak into the phone as Myra and I board the jet.
"Thank You Sophia, also, do you know if Mr. McKay has confirmed the color scheme?" As if he cared.
"He's okay with whatever Piper chose. That's all for now right?" I ask the decoration company.
"Yes ma'am." she tells me.
"Great, have a nice day." I tell her hanging up the phone.
"Don't you think Piper could get another wedding planner?" Myra asks me as she stuffs her mouth with chocolate.
"I don't know Myra," I mumble as I open files that I'll go through when we land in Florida.
"Well, she's only asking you to plan their wedding so it can hurt you more."
"What? There's nothing to hurt." I say trying to reassure myself more than her.
"Soph cut the bullshit." I sigh looking at her.
"The invitation stung." I mumble as tears threaten my eyes. Why am I crying? He's getting married, yes I'm in love with him but this is his choice and I should be happy for him.
"I know Soph, I know." Myra frowns at me.
"Why haven't you told him?"
"Well after the kiss-" A gasp falls from her mouth and I internally slap myself.
"Sophia fucking Rivera." I'm about to get thrown of this jet.
"Uh,"
"You two kissed!?" I finally look at her, but I know that look too well.
"Screw you Jace!" I yell as if he can hear me.
"You mean screw, Axton! Jace told me a few days ago." she says and I sigh.
"We talked about it." she sits up straight, resting her chin in the palm of her hands.
"Tell me Soph, how did you two 'talk' about it?" I roll my eyes at her dramatic way of living.
"I told him it was nothing." I mumble and she starts yelling.

Jesus.
"What the fuck Sophia, nothing? You told him it was nothing? Are you insane? He's in love with you and you told him the kiss was nothing?" she yells at me and I drop my head into the palms of my hands.
"No, he doesn't! He said he doesn't have feelings for me either!" I yell back at her.
"Is Axton on fucking drugs?" she says and I try not to laugh.
"It is pure love! Pyaar! Pyaar do you hear me right now?" she says, you know Myra is actually upset when she includes Hindi in her sentence. With the little I know, I recognized the word as love.
"How can I not hear you? You're freaking yelling!" I yell back at her.
"Soph, you're both lying." she says and I sigh.
"Can we just drop it? I really need to focus on my company right now. Then straight home we go, I have to meet Piper for a wedding dress fitting. " I mumble dreading the day.
"If I knew I was dragging you out of bed this morning for that, I would have left you alone."Myra says as she takes a sip of water.
"You should have." I chuckle.
---
"Sophia, are you ready for Axton's wedding?"
"With less than a week to the wedding, what is your feedback on all the rumours about you and Axton having an affair?"
"Amyra are you and Liam dating?"
"Are you seeing anyone right now Amyra?"
"Other than a lot of nosey reporters, nope," she says and I smile while focusing on walking through the streets of Florida. Liam and Amyra decided to keep their relationship private for now, so private I don't think Jace and Axton knows.
"Sophia, what caused the fire?"
"Sophia, why were you in Hawaii with Axton?"
"Sophia is it true you are dating Vincent?"Vincent is one of my models, he posted a Instagram story with me a week ago and everyone took that as our 'public appearance as a couple' complete idiots.

"No, it is not true, we're great friends and he has a girlfriend, who should be given a bit more respect," I mumble right before we walk into the new building.
"I got to take this." Amyra says, raising her phone to her ears. I nod as I walk up to the main desk which was filled with boxes.
"Hey Sophia." Hayley greets me.
"Hi Hay-" The first thing I see is a hickey on her neck.
"What?" she asks and I chuckle.
"Don't say a mosquito." I tell her pointing to her neck, she looks on her phone and gasps.
"Shoot, I don't have any make-up to fix this, the paparazzi is outside, shit!"
"Stop stressing! Come on I'll fix it." I tell her, taking my concealer out of my bag.
"Thank you so much Sophia!" she tells me as I blend it over her skin.
"No worries."
"Shyla is really lucky to have you as an older sister."
"Yeah, well consider yourself lucky too because whenever you need an older sister, I'm one call away. All done!" I tell her closing the bottle.
"Thank you." she smiles.
"No problem."
"Can I see the paperwork for the building?" I ask her, after buying a new building, I just want to make sure everything is okay.
"Uh," she looks at me, scared?
"What? I just want to see the papers, it's a really nice building, it's probably the second tallest here." I tell her and she still holds a nervous expression.
"Where are the papers?" I ask her, turning to the pile on the desk, searching for them.
"Definitely not in there!" she says but I already see them. Why is she lying?
"No there-" she grabs them from my grasp and I raise an eyebrow.
"Hayley, let me see the papers! I just want to see Mr. Grahms' signature." I tell her but she pulls the the papers behind her back.
"Hayley. Paper, now." I fold my arms over my chest.
"This wasn't my fault, so don't kill me." she hands me the paper and I read it.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I'm going to kill his ass.
"Seriously?" I ask her and she frowns.
Instead of seeing Mr. Grahms' signature, there a perfectly scribbled Axton McKay.
"Chelsea handled the purchasing of the building, not me." she raises her hand in the air.
"Alright, I'm back-woah, who pissed Soph off?" Amyra says and I glare at her.
---
"Hello Mrs. Rivera."
"Hi ma'am." Employees in Axton's office greet me as I make my way into the elevator.
"Hi guys." I flash them a smile, even though I was about to slap Axton down.
The elevator opens and I walk right into his office, without knocking. I don't care at this point.
"Uh, I'll give you a callback Mr. Williams," he says as his eyes meet mine.
"Hey Soph..."
"Don't fucking hey Soph me!" I yell.
Oops.
"Woah, what's wrong?" he laughs.
The damn audacity this, did I mention fine as hell, man has.
He laughs.
"You sold my company your building, for one hundred dollars!?" I yell at the top of my voice, his office is soundproof. That information was unnecessarily given to me by one of his, girls.
"Fuck, you found out." he says grinning.
"Is this funny to you?" I ask him.
"No uh, yeah- Shit I'm sorry." he chuckles and I just stand there.
"You would have said no, so I just did it." he shrugs and I look at him in disbelief.
"Seriously Axton? I'm sending you the rest of the damn money. No excuses." I tell him walking out the office. I was too upset. He sold me his building for one hundred dollars. Without even telling me!
"Sophia wait!" he yells but I'm already walking into the elevator.
"Soph!" he yells as the doors close.
I look away from his gaze as the elevator shuts close.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
