CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT
Liam was deep in his emotions, and he couldn’t just snap out of it, even though he really wanted to.
His life wasn’t interesting at that moment, and he just felt like it was going to just get worse from that. The first mistake he made was inviting Ella to help him out with Alyssa, because now he’s more or less stuck with her, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
A huge sigh escaped from his mouth, and he stood up from his seat. He wanted to stay away from Timothy for now, so the boy wouldn’t feel somehow around him.
He needed something to clear his head because it felt like a whole war was happening in his head. So, he started walking towards the garden, so he would feel better.
He hadn’t taken up to three steps, when he saw Ella standing in the garden, with her eyes closed tightly against her head.
On a normal day, he would have just turned back and gone back inside, but he wasn’t even feeling normal at all, so he started walking towards her, with his fingers in his pockets.
“Oh my gosh, hey.” Ella said, enthusiastically, and Liam rolled his eyes. Her voice always annoys him.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
He backed away from her, and he turned around to leave. He had thought coming to the garden was going to help him, but apparently, it did not.
“Wait, wait.” She screamed after him, while trying to catch up with him.
She kept on trying to talk to him, but he wasn’t interested in whatever she had to say, so he just kept on ignoring her.
“I’m talking to you.” Ella suddenly said, and she stood in front of him, so he wouldn’t be able to walk away from her.
“I know, that’s why I’m walking away.” Liam said, and he pushed her aside. Ella staggered backwards, but she didn’t fall down.
She growled at him, and she went back to him, really determined to make life hard for him.
“If you’re trying to make my life even worse, you’re on point.” He said, and when he tried pushing her again, she held onto him.
When he was finally ready to listen to her, she told him that she was disturbing him because she wanted to ask him when he’s going to propose to her.
That dumb comment made Liam laugh because he thought she was joking at first, but when he saw the serious look on her face, he knew that she wasn’t.
“Ella, you and I can never, and I mean, never be a couple. So, leave me alone.” Liam said, and he moved around her to pass.
Ella watched him as he walked away from her, not even turning around once to look at her.
She knew that Liam was refusing to marry her because of Alyssa, so she started making a plan to make Alyssa’s life a living hell, so she would willingly leave Liam for her.
When Liam got to the house, he went straight to his room, and he sat down on his bed. He started thinking about Alyssa…. again.
He wasn’t sure if he still loved her, but the real question was if she still loved him.
On one hand, he’s convinced that Alyssa is just playing him the way she did years ago, and all she wanted was to hurt me and get away with it, and on the other, he can clearly see that she really loves him.
She had begged him to not marry Ella because he was sure that she was hurt that he got over her so easily, but did he actually get over her?
Liam didn’t know what to do about the whole issue. He was really confused, and he just needed advice from someone that is really experienced with things like this.
At the same time, he wasn’t interested in telling anybody his issues, especially not one that has to do with the woman he’s claiming not to love.
He sighed, and he decided to take a nap, since he had nothing to do, or even anything to think about but Alyssa.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his long lashes rested comfortably on his face. He heaved a sigh of relief, and he prepared to go into a deep sleep.
Unfortunately, the nap lasted for about two minutes, as Liam jolted from where he was lying down. He suddenly remembered something – he hadn’t gone to see Alyssa for two days now, and he just knew that she would be up to no good.
Her staying alone will just make her think of more plans to hurt him more, and plans to take Timothy away from him.
He wasn’t interested in letting that happen, so he stood up from the bed, and he went out of his room to meet her.
When he was about to leave the house, his mother called him from a distance, which made him stop in his tracks. He slowly turned around to find her staring at him.
“Do you need something?” He asked, and the woman signaled for him to move closer. He scanned her face for a while before going to her.
She didn’t look like anything was wrong, so he couldn’t help but to wonder why she needed his attention.
“Are you okay?” He asked when he got to her again, waiting for her to say something to him.
“Are YOU okay?” She asked him, while raising an eyebrow at him. He was confused because he didn’t know where the sudden worry was coming from.
“Yes, I am. Why?”
“You’ve been looking extra stressed lately.” She said, and Liam looked away from her.
She was right, he was really stressed, but he didn’t want to tell her why, even though she already looked like she knew why.
“What about her?” His mother asked, and he just knew that she was talking about Alyssa. He couldn’t provide an answer to that, and the woman just gave him a crooked smile and left.
While Liam was going to Alyssa’s room, he kept on pondering over what she said, and why she even said it.
Was it a sign or something? He thought, and doubled his pace. When he got to her room, he saw that it was locked, and he dipped his hand into his pocket to have the extra key.
He knew that she was going to be surprised to see him in her room, after storming out of it two days ago.
Liam slowly opened the door, and he was about to start frowning at her, when he didn’t even see anyone in the room. He was a little bit surprised , because the guards didn’t tell him anything about taking her somewhere else.
He called all the guards, and started asking them about where she was. They all denied opening the door for her, and Liam was even more confused.
The guards started searching everywhere for her, trying to see where she was.
Liam’s eyes moved to the open window, and almost immediately, he started hearing choking sounds coming from the window.
He ran to it, and he’s shocked by what he saw.
Alyssa was dangling from a noose around her neck, her feet suspended in empty space.
