CHAPTER SEVENTY
Alyssa couldn’t just take it any more and she begged her father to leave her alone because she was already passing through so much already.
After she said that, he called her ungrateful, talking about how he literally just saved her life by slapping her out of the sleep paralysis that she was having. She shook her head in shock, and she gave him a rushed and small thanks, telling him that he was a ‘lifesaver’ with sarcasm very evident in her voice.
She was starting to feel very uncomfortable around her father and she just begged him to leave her alone because she wanted to be left alone with her thoughts. Likewise, she had so many things to think about and arguing about how Ella was better than her, is not something that she wanted to talk about, not then, not ever.
The man reluctantly left her room, and she was pleased about that. Lately, so many weird things have been happening to her.
At first, it was her very odd dream and thereafter, it was sleep paralysis? Something was definitely wrong somewhere.
Or maybe everything was happening to her because of how much pain that she had been experiencing for many days. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like that was going to end anytime soon.
She went to the window, and she looked outside it. It looked like everything was going on normally, but the opposite was happening to her. She wondered why she was that unlucky. She had even started doing things that she used to hate, like sleeping in the afternoon.
For someone who was so active, she was really being lazy. If she hadn’t slept earlier, then she was sure that she wouldn’t have had sleep paralysis.
She raised her head to look at the sky. The day was still pretty bright, but if she were to guess the time, she guessed that it was going to be around five or six in the evening. At the beginning of the day, she felt like it was going too slow, but when it was already evening, she suddenly started feeling like the day was going much too fast.
Alyssa stopped brooding over unimportant things and decided to leave her room. She knew that Liam would have been back from where he went, and she just wanted to tell him her mind. She was tired of hiding her feelings about things that were going on in the house. Not only that, but she knew that it was time to let him know that he couldn’t just take over her child like that and get away with it.
And for Ella, she knew how to take care of ‘wannabes’ like her.
When she got out of her room and started walking back to the house, she remembered how happy she was to go back into the house in the morning, and that made her laugh out loud. She had thought that her going to the house was going to make Timothy happy and maybe, just potentially, make Liam fall in love with her again, but after seeing everything that happened in the morning, she already knew that it was impossible for any of them to happen again.
She entered the living room and, just like what happened in the morning, she didn’t see anyone there.
Nobody in this house actually uses the living room. She thought inwardly and looked over to the guard that was just standing at the corner of the room. It seemed like he was the only one who lived in the living room so much, and that made Alyssa laugh loudly.
When the guard turned his head to look at her, she stopped laughing and looked as serious as she could. She looked away from the man who was looking at her like she was crazy, and she was about to start going to Liam’s room, when she was stopped by Ella’s loud and annoying voice.
“Where are you going to, miss?” She asked Alyssa, and Alyssa reluctantly turned around to face the witch that had her son in her hands.
For a moment, Timothy and Alyssa exchanged looks, and she could see that the boy wasn’t delighted as he tried acting like he was. His lips curved into a sorrowful smile and Alyssa was about to hug him when Ella stopped her.
She eyed her suspiciously before she continued speaking. “I asked a question.” She said and glared at Alyssa.
Alyssa didn’t want to say anything to her, but she knew that if she didn’t, then Ella would probably stop her from going to see Liam.
“I don’t have to tell you, but I will because you’re so mean.” She started saying and she stopped. “I’m going to see Liam.” She completed, and Ella feigned a look of surprise before hissing at Alyssa.
“Oh, really? He isn’t in at the moment. You should go back to your room and cry again, don’t you think?” Ella said, and she gave her a mocking smile.
God, Alyssa wanted to strangle her at the spot.
“I didn’t ask you whether he was around or not, I only told you that I was going to see him.” Alyssa said, and she started leaving again.
“You’re Timothy’s maid, right? You have some clothes of his to them, I’m guessing you don’t want to lose your job. You should get to that.” Ella screamed at Alyssa and left the living room. Without turning around, Alyssa left the living room and started walking towards Liam’s room.
When she got to the room, she didn’t know if she were to knock or if she could just barge in like that. She settled for the latter.
Liam watched with wide eyes as Alyssa barged into his room without even feeling apologetic about it.
“What are you doing here?” Was the first question that Liam asked Alyssa when she was already in his room. Alyssa’s eyes scanned Liam’s body, and her gaze was finally fixed on his six packs.
Seeing him shirtless like that, made her feel some type of way, and she could feel the heat. down there. She just wanted to touch him and rub her hands around his body.
She also wanted to kiss it and…Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Alyssa noticed what she was doing, and she inwardly scolded herself for getting so carried away.
Noticing her lingering stares, Liam put on a shirt and turned to her to ask her why she was in his room.
She told him that she was there because of her son. That grabbed his attention and he sat down, waiting for her to continue speaking.
Alyssa talked about how she didn’t like being away from her son and how sick it made her feel. When Liam was about to speak and object to that, she stopped him and told him that she didn’t want her right to her child to be given out to Ella. Liam was surprised to hear that and wondered why Ella had to go that far.
Even with that, He didn’t say anything to Alyssa, he just acted aloof and uncaring.
Seeing him reacting to everything she said like that, Alyssa was sure that she had lost Liam.
Liam clarified it for her that he’d never give up his son, as Tim was still his and the heir to Venice.
She gave up trying to convince him any more and she left his room. When she was about to leave the living room, her eyes settled on the hemming that she had to do, and she spent the rest of the day doing just that.
