CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT
An hour later, Alyssa was still crying. She couldn’t believe everything that was happening at all. It was as if her whole life turned upside down in a matter of hours.
Alyssa needed answers to all her questions at that moment.
She was going crazy.
She really was.
When Liam told her that she was going to follow him, she had thought that he actually cares about their son and that was why he wanted to go with her. She didn’t know that he actually lured her to Venice only to lock her up in a room that isn’t even conducive for an animal to stay in.
Alyssa kicked the bed violently as she was pondering over the issue. She couldn’t possibly survive in that room at all.
The fact that she was really close to her son, yet so far, was so crazy, and it made her burst into a very painful laughter.
She wondered how Liam’s brains were working and how he couldn’t see that even with everything that he was doing, the child would still come back to the mother.
Timothy doesn’t even know Liam as his dad, so for him to agree to stay with him and not his mother, will be really crazy.
Not even Ella will be able to keep him away from her with her nonsense attitude…and face. She just hated her step sister so much, and she wasn’t sure if that was going to change for a very long time.
Ella is bad news and the fact that Liam was staying with her, is even bad. Alyssa thought.
She wouldn’t have thought in a million years that her own mean stepsister would be in a vile relationship with someone she has a child for. It was sounding really weird and serious.
That was something that she would have never done to her, but Ella was doing to her with excitement.
Alyssa suddenly heard a knock on the door, and her attention was shifted from her thoughts to the door. The only person that she thought would be the one knocking was Liam, and she started wondering why he was coming to see her.
Had he realised his mistake? Alyssa thought, and she instantly stood up from the bed to open the door. She cleaned her tears and when she was about to open the door, she remembered that the door had been locked from outside, and she wondered how he didn’t see that.
It seemed like the person at the other side of the door also realised his mistake, as he started unlocking the door from outside the moment Alyssa thought about it.
Alyssa waited patiently for Liam to enter inside and when the door was fully opened, she saw that the person wasn’t in any way like Liam.
It was a guard that brought a tray filled with her meals for her. The young man dropped it on the floor, close to her right leg and when he was about to leave, she called him back, and she asked about Liam.
He ignored her and he went outside. Alyssa was praying for him to leave the door open mistakenly, so she would be able to escape, but unfortunately for her, he didn’t.
She was about to kick the tray aside, when her stomach growled loudly, and she started feeling embarrassed, even though she was the only one in the room.
She hadn’t realised that she was hungry, so she picked up the tray and opened the food. It smelled nice and without overthinking it, she started digging into it.
It was pleasant…for someone who hadn’t eaten since the day before.
After finishing the meal, she regretted her action immediately. She thought that she shouldn’t have eaten it and eating the food was like accepting the fact that she was weak.
She stood up and threw both the tray and the plates outside the window, while mumbling, “I’m not weak,” under her breath.
It was night already and Alyssa wasn’t feeling sleepy, but she knew that she had to sleep because she had been planning on how she would escape from the place. And for her to do that, she needs quality sleep.
Since she spent the rest of the day cleaning the room up, it was a bit manageable and conducive for human beings.
The next morning, Alyssa woke up really early. She didn’t know what the time was, but when she looked out the window, and she saw that the sky was still slightly dark, she knew that it was really early.
She started plotting her escape from the ‘prison in disguise’. Likewise, she had intended to distract the guard, so he would forget to lock the door…or put something at the edge of the door, so it wouldn’t be closed completely…
Either way, she was really determined to leave.
The breakfast hadn’t yet arrived, and Alyssa was patiently waiting for it. While waiting, she decided to have her bath and change her clothes, since one of the guards had dropped her luggage while she was sleeping.
She entered the bathroom of the room, and she was surprised to see that it was cleaner than the room itself, and it also had running water.
After cleaning up and the breakfast still had to arrive, she started feeling really anxious, and she went to the window to get a hint of what was happening.
It looked like someone, more like some people, just arrived, but Alyssa couldn’t see anyone.
She left the window, and she went to sit on her bed. She wasn’t interested in whoever was in Liam’s house at that moment. Likewise, she could even guess that it was another woman who may or may not want to take her child away from her.
Alyssa screamed and hit her head against the bed’s holder. She was going crazy and having really weird and senseless thoughts that she didn’t even know how they were being formed.
She was still thinking about how she was having odd thoughts, when she heard a knock on the door.
Alyssa was going to the door, when she realised that something wasn’t right. The guard that came the day before had knocked, but he realised his mistake when he saw that the door was locked from outside.
That meant that the person who was knocking wasn’t any of the guards, but someone else.
It could either be Liam or Ella. She thought and placed her bet on Liam.
The person continued knocking and Alyssa wanted to answer, but she decided to keep quiet to see if the person was going to leave or get the key.
After the eight knock, some whispers could be heard from the other end of the door and Alyssa still thought that it could be Liam.
Everywhere became silent for a few seconds before she could hear the door getting unlocked. She was ready to tell Liam her mind, and she stood up from the bed.
She turned her head to the side to see him.
The door opened wide and the person, no, people that she saw at the door didn’t look like Liam at all.
They looked more like her family members.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
