“Grayson Hawthorne was arrogant enough to consider himself bulletproof— and honorable enough to see a promise through to its end.”

Grayson Davenport Hawthorne: White Collar

The Inheritance Games Trilogy: Alisa

no but why has the Alisa x Nash x Libby trio never been discussed?

“When did I become the enemy here? I have only ever done what the old man wanted me to do.” She spoke like those words were beung physically torn out of her.“Do you have any idea what that’s cost me?” // And when she spoke about what her loyalty to the old man had cost her… She’s talking about Nash. “I am holding this empire together by a thread.”

For a second, I felt really bad that Avery mistrusted Alisa.

Alisa was literally Nash’s ex-fiancée. And she’s putting up with aaaaaaall of this. I’m just curious as to why she is very adamant on following through with the old man’s orders. No hate for Libby. I just want a better storyline for Alisa, one where she just chooses to be happy and not stuck with watching her ex go out with other people right in front of her face.

If Nash and Libby are endgame then good for them. I just hope Alisa gets a better ending. She deserves better after finding EVERY WAY POSSIBLE for Avery to retain her inheritance. That is pure effort, skill, and cleverness; a product of The Hawthorne Legacy:

“You have five minutes,” he said coldly. Hurt flashed across Alisa’s features, and I remembered what Max had said. Alisa had moved me back here without my permission. With my life on the line, she’d acted to save my inheritance. “Don’t look at me like that,” Alisa said to me this time. “It worked, didn’t it?” I was here. I was alive. And I was still a billionaire. “It cost me dearly.” Alisa held my gaze. “It cost me this family. But it worked.” I didn’t know what to say to that.

A thank you would be nice? Can I just acknowledge that ALISA SAVED AVERY HER INHERITANCE IN SOOOOOO MANY INSTANCES IN THE NAME OF WHAT THE OLD MAN WANTED: WHYYYYYYYYY????????? WHAT WAS THE REASON??????

And the fact that she’s villainized for it? No, in the next book I want Avery to make decisions WITH A COST. LET HER TAKE THE REINS OF THE EMPIRE AND EMULATE THE UNDERSTANDING WHY THE HAWTHORNES CALL IT BLOODMONEY AND WHY BOTH TOBIAS(ES) WANT NONE OF IT FOR THEMSELVES OR TO BE INHERITED.

End of rant. In conclusion, Alisa deserves better. Rooting for a justifiable ending for her in the last book.
