CHAPTER SIXTY SIX
As the words left Timothy’s mouth to Liam’s ears, his anger started increasing. He couldn’t believe that Ella could say such a thing, not to a child at least. He thought that what she did was so bad and insensitive, so he decided to confront her and ask her about it.
After having that small talk with Timothy, Liam went back to Alyssa. He was welcomed by a massive frown on her face. He didn’t know what to tell her at all, he couldn’t tell her that Ella said that at all.
So, he gave her a small nod and left the room instantly. The look on her face was haunting him and if he had stayed in the room for a few more minutes, he was sure that he would have said what he didn’t want to, and that included telling her that he still had a soft spot for her.
While they were walking back to the house, Timothy kept on asking Liam if his mother was in trouble and if she was a bad woman. Liam had to stop in his tracks and make the little boy understand that his mother was a great mother, and she will always be. He also told the boy to stop listening to whatever Ella tells him to do.
Timothy wanted to go back to his mother and give her a big hug, but Liam told him that they could do that some other time and together, they both walked into the house.
Liam made him feel comfortable on a chair in the living room, and he informed him that he was going back to meet him really soon.
Timothy started feeling distressed for acting the way he did to his mother, and he wanted to make her feel better by giving her a hug. He looked up to see the guard standing right in front of him with a considerable frown on his face. It felt like the guard heard what he was thinking about and to avoid issues, he sat down quietly on the chair and started scanning the whole room with his eyes.
With his heart pumping really fast and a massive frown on his face, Liam started calling out to Ella. She wasn’t answering him, and he wondered where she could be and what she was probably doing at that time of the day.
After searching the entire house, a guard walked up to him to tell him that Ella was outside the house, waiting for him. Liam started wondering why she didn’t go inside to meet him first, but knowing how much he actually needed an answer from her, he went to her instantly.
She had a gigantic smile on her face and out of their normal pretence, she started walking towards him with her hands stretched apart. She wanted to hug.
When she got to him, Liam angrily brushed her aside, and she stumbled sideways from the gravity of the push.
She turned around to question him, but she was stopped by a deadly glare from Liam.
Ella started smiling at him, thinking that that would actually make him feel better, not knowing that it was actually making the situation worse.
She moved closer to the angry man and just as expected, Liam brushed her hands aside, and he gripped her hand tightly. It was so tight that Ella thought her wrists were going to bleed from the effect.
“What…what are you doing, Liam?” She asked a furious Liam, while trying to free herself from his strong grip.
After a few seconds of enjoying the view of Ella trying to free herself from his grip, he finally let her go.
He waited for her to gain her balance before he started questioning her.
“Why?” That was his first question to her, and the poor, not-so-innocent Ella stared at him confused. She really didn’t understand what he was trying to say, and she wished he were able to shed more light on it.
“I don’t understand, Liam.” She whispered and tried moving really close to Liam. She really doesn’t listen to what people say, does she? Liam clearly told her that he didn’t want her to go closer to him, but she stubbornly did, but this time, he didn’t do anything to her.
He just gave her the look that said ‘I asked a question’ and fortunately for her, she understood that and backed away from him.
The both of them started observing an unplanned eye contact and even though it lasted for only four minutes, it passed so many messages and Liam just knew that Ella knew what she was accused of doing.
When Timothy said that about her, he still had a bit of hope that it wasn’t Ella that said that, but seeing the way guilty looks flashed through her face when she finally understood the whole situation, made him know that she was guilty.
He grabbed a part of her shirt, and he started dragging her to the nearest wall. Surprisingly, Ella didn’t even protest with the way he was dragging her around to talk to her.
When the both of them got to a wall, Liam pinned her to a wall, and he grabbed her face, asking her to speak the truth. Ella, who looked like she was perplexed, didn’t know what to do, and she placed her hands on his chest to stop him from hurting her more.
“Don’t waste my time, young lady.” Liam screamed at Ella, and he watched her as she shivered. She seemed like she could cry anytime soon, but Liam didn’t care. He just wanted an answer to his question, and he wanted it immediately.
“Just get to the point.” Ella screamed back at Liam. Liam released his hard grip on her face, and he grabbed her two hands, pinning them to the wall so hard that Ella thought her bones were going to break.
“What did you say to Timothy about his mother?” Liam growled at Ella, and he waited for an answer while watching every reaction on her face. She looked terrified, but Liam knew better than to believe that she was actually scared. She was always faking everything that Liam found it hard to believe anything she did or said.
Ella actually told Liam the truth about everything, she told him about how she tried poisoning the mind of the little boy, to turn him against his mother.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Hearing the disgusting words coming out of her mouth, Liam grabbed her face and warned her to never say something like that to the little boy. Out of fear, Ella nodded her head and told him that she would never do something like that again.
Her voice was not convincing enough, but Liam was already tired of talking to her for that long, so he just left alone, hoping she would listen to him and if she doesn’t, he already has a solution for that…
He went back to see Alyssa to apologise for how Tim had behaved, but she’s curious with him and blamed him for Timothy’s actions. She called him a terrible father and told him to leave her room. Angry, he left her alone.
