CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
Alyssa was getting on Liam’s nerves so much that he couldn’t afford to stay a minute with her again. He started thinking of ways to make her pay, to make her angry the same way she was making him angry too, but he couldn’t think of anything.
While they were still on the road, Alyssa asked him to stop the vehicle because she needed to do something in the bushes that were really close to them.
Without saying any word to object to that, he stopped the car and allowed her to leave because he was tired of staying with her.
When she left the car, he started thinking of ways to let her off his back. He was touching the steering wheel, when he thought of leaving her in the bushes there alone.
As the thoughts kept on creeping into his head, he started smiling. He was happy that he at least had something to make her pay. So, he started the vehicle and he started driving off.
Alyssa was done with what she went to do in the bushes, and she was about to go back and meet Liam, when she heard a sound, like the sound of a car driving off.
She ran outside, and she saw that Liam had left her there alone, and she had no means of meeting with him. So, she started crying at that same spot because she had nowhere to go to.
She couldn’t possibly start going back and at the same time, it was impossible to start going forward, expecting to meet with Liam.
Alyssa was about to give up, when an image of her son popped up in her head, and she knew that she had to do anything possible to make sure that she meets her son. Using that as a motivation, she stood up from the ground that she sat on, and she started walking towards the path Liam passed.
She was a bit weak and her throat was dry, but she was determined to see her son and she knew that in the end, it would all be worth it.
Liam was pleased that he actually got Alyssa off his back, but a little part of him was feeling bad that he actually did that. Just a little.
He knew that she was following him because of Timothy, but still, even with that, he couldn’t use that as an excuse to temperate her. She was starting to make the journey difficult for him.
He had gone far, when he started thinking about what if someone actually hurt her, or if she dies of thirst or starvation? He stopped the vehicle, and he let out a loud breath. Furthermore, he was feeling frustrated.
At that point, he didn’t know what to do. He would rather not travel with her, but at the same time, leaving her alone there seemed like a terrible option.
He was still grumbling to himself when a thought came to his head. Since all he wanted was for her to pay, then he could just go back, pick her up and then, he could make her pay in his own way.
But how could he make that happen? He thought, and he rested his head against the car seat, while thinking of what to do.
He suddenly remembered that Alyssa and her step-sister were not close at all, in fact, it was as if they secretly hated each other. Likewise, he smiled to himself because he just knew that the sister was going to be really useful to him.
The plan that he wanted to carry out with the sister was already made in his head and the only thing that was remaining was the sister’s number.
The only person who could help him with that, was many feet away from him.
He sighed before turning the car around to pick Alyssa up. He knew that she was going to be angry at her, and he started thinking of lies to explain why he left.
When he was about to get to her, he thought of an excellent lie that would definitely work on her.
“Oh. Did you forget anything, Mr Liam?” Alyssa asked when he parked beside her. Her voice had a hunt of sarcasm, and Liam just knew that she was hurt by the fact that he left her.
He got out of the car and went to her side.
“I didn’t leave you. I left because I was starving, and I thought that I could get something for myself…and you too.” He said in the most convincing voice that he had ever used, hoping for her to believe him.
“I thought you packed something for yourself?” She asked, with her eyebrows raised at him. He ignored that statement, and he helped her into the vehicle, heaving a sigh of relief that she didn’t ask any more questions.
When they were in the car, he asked her if she was with her phone and she said yes. He didn’t know who he was going to get the number, so he asked her to get out of the car, to see if she could see something for them to eat.
She was about to protest against it, but Liam promised her that he was going to be there, waiting for her.
Fortunately for him, she left her phone and left. He quickly took the number, and he called her, telling her that he needed her a particular plan. He told her the plans and the part that she was going to play.
The stepsister surprisingly agreed, and Liam was happy that a massive part of the plan was ready.
Alyssa went back to the car, saying that she didn’t see anything, and Liam just assured her that there was no need for that again, since they were already close.
That statement made her a bit suspicious because he was acting really weird and a little sneaky, but she just thought that it was because he didn’t like the way she was in the car with him.
The rest of the car ride was spent in silence and in a matter of hours, they already got to Venice.
When they arrived at Venice, Alyssa was happy, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
Liam told her that they hadn’t got there yet, and they were going to within seven minutes. She nodded enthusiastically at that, and she pinched the hem of her dress to contain her happiness.
She had really missed her son and the thought of Liam, Timothy and her appeared in her head again, which made her smile like a kid on Christmas Day.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Six minutes later, they got to the place, and they immediately alighted.
Alyssa started walking towards the house and she saw her son. She was already smiling at him, when she saw the person who was with him, holding Timothy like he was hers.
She was really shocked, and she didn’t understand what was happening. Liam walked past her and went to Ella, her stepsister. When he got to her, he slipped his hand around his waist and he gave her a small peck.
Ella held Liam’s hand too and the three of them looked like a family.
Alyssa rubbed her eyes to be sure that she wasn’t dreaming.
She wasn’t. Liam’s hand was really wrapped around Ella.
