Chapter 139 Sharing The Weight

• Aria’s POV
• “He wasn’t a good father,” Liam continued. “In fact, he’s someone that I’ve come to hate. But I never really thought about the bastard actually dying. Now he wants to inherit the family business and continue his legacy. In the past, I was never good enough, but now suddenly, Markus is desperate.”
• I didn’t know what the family business was, exactly, but I wasn’t keen on the idea of losing Liam to it, whatever it was. Just as I didn’t want him back in his father’s clutches, if the man truly treated Liam so terribly.
