CHAPTER FIFTY THREE
Alyssa continued crying for a few more minutes. She stooped, crying because she knew that she would need more than her tears to see her son. So, she stood up from the bare floor that she was sitting on, and she went out of the corner.
The sky was already getting a bit dark and according to her guess, it was probably thirty minutes past six already.
She started walking towards the house again, but this time, she was extra careful, looking out for the guards that told her to leave the palace minutes ago. She stopped in her tracks when she saw that one of the guards that sent her out was still standing at the same spot.
Even when she wasn’t meant to, she started wondering where the other two guards were.
Her gaze was fixed on him and he had her utmost attention. A few seconds later, she got out of hiding, and she started walking towards the palace.
Fortunately for her, the guard was a bit distracted by a stubborn fly that wouldn’t stop ‘disturbing his ears’. He was still fighting with the innocent fly that probably just wanted the crumbs of biscuit in his hair when Alyssa entered inside.
Her heart was beating really fast, so she had to take a pause to catch her breath for a second.
After that little ‘panic attack’, she started thinking about what she wanted to do because she knew that she had to act fast, everywhere getting darker by the second.
A small voice at the back of her mind told her to meet Vale, informing her that he might actually have a solution for her. The decision to obey the voice or ignore it laid in her hands for just a second before she pushed back the little voices that were screaming at her, notifying her that what she was doing wasn’t going to end well for her, aside.
A little faith of seeing her son was suddenly rooted in her and even though she would rather not accept it, Vale might just be her solution.
She was walking in the hallway, while scanning everywhere with her eyes. She really needed to talk to someone before she went crazy. Liam’s room was a few feet away from her, and she decided to go to Liam’s room instead, to make everything easier for her…and Liam too.
Alyssa hadn’t taken up to three steps when she was suddenly dragged back by someone. She was a bit scared as she couldn’t even guess who that could be. The person placed their hand over her mouth and started dragging her towards Vale’s room. With the strength and giant palm that was still over her mouth, she saw that the person was a man, a man built like Vale?
She tried turning around to see if her guess of who the person was, is true. When she and the ‘stranger’ got to Vale’s room, the man left her mouth alone, and he watched her as she staggered backwards into the room.
“What the-” Alyssa started saying, but she stopped when she saw who the stranger was.
Vale.
“Don’t say anything.” He commanded as he froze in his tracks. He was trying to see if someone was coming towards his room.
Two seconds later, he signalled to Alyssa, telling her that she could speak.
“Why am I here?” She asked, while cleaning her mouth. Vale informed her that she had to stay in a room, for her to speak to Liam very early the next day and because it was already dark outside too.
Alyssa hesitated for a while before she agreed that she was going to do just that. Apart from that, she needed to talk to Liam anyway. She wanted to talk to Vale about it, but she thought about it. She decided to talk to Liam himself, unable to wait until the next day.
A few minutes later, she went out of Vale’s room, and she was about to go and stay in one of the rooms that vale asked her to stay in, when she walked past Liam’s room.
At first, she decided to forget about talking to him that night, but she just couldn’t leave that way, not after knowing that her son was with him.
She ignored the little voice that was telling her not to, and she went to Liam’s room. She took a shape breath in, and she released it when she knocked on the door. Likewise, she knocked again and there was no answer.
The third knock.
The fourth.
The fifth and there was still no answer. She was about to knock for the sixth time when the door opened immediately.
There he was, Liam, trying to fake a yawn and sleepy eyes. He didn’t look shocked to see her at all, he even looked like he was expecting her to knock on his door.
“What do you want?” Liam asked Alyssa, and she pushed past him and entered his room. Liam shut the door angrily, and he went to her. He dragged her back and didn’t even help her when she was about to fall down.
“I asked a question, and I am yet to receive an answer.” He said before a growl escaped from his mouth. Alyssa raised her head and she stared straight into his eyes. He was angry, yes, she knew that, but it wasn’t going to stop her from asking about her son.
“Where is he?” She asked him, and she crossed her hands on her chest, imitating his posture.
“You have to leave.” Liam said to her and moved closer to her. That gesture made her back away from him, but there was no hint of fear on her face.
“I’m not leaving until I see my son.” She said, and she frowned at him. Liam hissed loudly and he grabbed her hand.
He started dragging her outside the room, ignoring her protests against that. He threw her outside and said, “I wasn’t asking,” before shutting the door in her face.
Alyssa started hitting the door, but after hitting it four times, she stopped because she wanted to avoid being thrown out by the guards. She decided to obey what vale said, and she went to a room, waiting for the morning sun to see our thoughts in the window. Even though it wasn’t midnight yet, Alyssa was determined to stay awake until morning and get her son.
The next morning, Alyssa woke up with a groan because she was disappointed in herself. She told herself that she wasn’t going to sleep, but she knew that nature couldn’t be cheated.
She started hearing a voice coming from outside her room and she stood immediately to check what it was all about.
Liam’s guards and servants were going in and out of his room, packing all his belongings. She couldn’t hide her shock and she ran towards them. She started asking them why they were packing the things, but not even one person answered her.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Furthermore, she hissed and stormed into Liam’s room. Likewise, she started asking him about Timothy and where he was, but Liam didn’t give her a reasonable answer.
Alyssa breaks down and begs for the whereabouts of her child, but Liam doesn’t want to answer her and leaves the room. Alyssa sees the guards loading in some of Tim’s things that had been at her house and is incensed that Liam had sent his men to go into her home. She’s sure of the fact that Liam was about to take her child away from her as payback for the way she’s hurt him. It’s finally dawning on her that Liam hates her that much, and any hope she’d festered before the two of them ending up together dies.
