Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

“Tiffany! You don’t have to pull up such stunt because you want us to leave. I have every right to know why he decided to lie about his name”, Alyssa said calmly, trying so hard to make Tiffany understand.

“He is not Nathaniel!” Tiffany dropped and Alyssa turned to stare at him again.

“Then who is he?” Alyssa asked again. This time, there was a crack in her voice as she stared at Tiffany and back at Liam.

“He is the prince! Can’t you see the gold on his wrist”, Tiffany explained again and Alyssa turned to gaze at Liam.

She hoped that he would counter it, or laugh aloud at the dry joke. She even wished that he would warn Tiffany about playing around with such kind of things.

But then, everywhere was dead silent…

Liam was gazing at her with clear guilt written on his face and Tiffany wore an apologetic look on her face.

Slowly, it dawned on her- He was really the prince…

This was certainly the most horrific moment of her life. She couldn’t feel her legs anymore, neither could she feel her heart.

Moving her head left and right in surprise, Alyssa took few steps backwards, until she added more pace to it and went on her heels.

She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, until she was nowhere close to Liam who she now referred to as a chameleon.

Tiffany ran after her, trying so hard to catch up with her, but she couldn’t.

Alyssa got back to her room started sobbing, mumbling some inaudible words and clenching her fists in rage.

She heard Tiffany’s footsteps approaching the room and with great anger, she rushed to the door and slammed it right on her face.

“Alyssa! Open up”, Tiffany called out from the other end of the phone, but Alyssa remained adamant.

She wanted to be alone, alone from everyone around her, including her best friend.

Tiffany resigned after countless efforts to get Alyssa to open the door. She felt bad for her friend, and finally decided to give her some space to sort some things out.

Alyssa yelled in rage, hitting her hands on the table and wincing in pain.

She felt disgusted and ashamed that she had been trying to deceive the palace and steal their jewel, while the prince swiftly deceived her.

Different thoughts swirled around her head. She had trusted him so much. For a moment, she had thought that he was worth hearing everything about her, even her darkest secrets.

She was even planning to come clean and tell him her initial truth and secret about being the palace.

What if she had done that? She would have been selling herself off to the prince who owns the artifact!

She couldn’t believe herself, neither could she believe Liam who she loved.

For hours, she continued crying, wishing that it was all a dream. The betrayal wasn’t something to heal off so fast and the pain it brought was truly excruciating.

She sobbed until she slept away right there on the floor in her room.

***

Liam was devastated. He dreaded this day right from the minute he fell for Alyssa on the foundation of lies. He knew that a day would come when everything would come upfront and he was certain that he wouldn’t know what to do.

And that was how it played out. Alyssa got to know the truth and he had nothing to do about it…

“Get me another bottle of the wine!” Liam laughed aloud in misery as he gestured on Nathaniel who shot a pitiful glare at him.

Nathaniel brought another bottle and placed it before him. He was in misery and drinking might help out.

“This should be the last one you have for tonight”, Nathaniel said to Liam who quickly shook his head in disapproval.

“After this, I would drink more…and more…”, he slurred after which he broke into silent sobs.

He couldn’t take the way Alyssa looked at him. It only confirmed all what he thought earlier. He always knew that the way she looked at him would change the moment she comes to know the truth, and that was exactly how it played out.

“She hates me now, don’t she?” Liam asked Nathaniel and his brother who only stared at him with a sullen look.

He was currently in his brother’s room, finding solace even if he wasn’t getting much of it. Opening up his heart to them was a means he wanted to use to get over the situation of the evening.

“Don’t be so sure about that. She might just be mad for sometime”, his brother replied.

“You needed to see how she glared at me. She was staring at me with hate, disgust, irritation …”, Liam said and gulped down another glass of wine.

“If she is in love with you, she would understand…”, his brother tried to console him.

“Love has it’s boundaries. Something like this can turn love to hate, with a flip of the finger”, he said and flipped his finger in a drunken manner.

“She still loves you. I know that. However, the issue is that love can’t happen between a prince and a mere maid”, Nathaniel reminded Liam who nodded his head and gulped another glass of the wine.

Nathaniel was right! The chances of them being together was very slim, but thoughts of living without her was even worse.

“I love her. She is calm, sweet, beautiful”, Liam explained as tears trickled out of his eyes.

Indeed, Alyssa was the First Lady who made some part of his heart spark with interest. He loved everything about her and that was why he wasn’t ready to live with the idea of not seeing her again.

“Just get a grab of yourself. There are other beautiful women around the kingdom. Many of which are princesses and elites…ladies that would match your class and status in the kingdom. They would make you happy and you would be fulfilled too. Alyssa is just a maid whose status can never match up to ours. Our parents would never be in support too…”, his brother advised but kept mute the moment Liam threw a dead glare at him.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Liam remained in his brother’s room, drinking from his glass of wine and speaking about every single pain his heart felt at the moment.

After a while, his brother walked towards his window and peeked through it. It seemed as though he caught sight of someone or got some sort of signal, because almost immediately, he turned to Liam.

“Liam, I think it’s time for you both to leave”, he said calmly, but in an awkward manner.

Liam raised his eyes at him, wondering why his brother would suddenly ask him out of his room.

He have been so close to him ever since they were kids and he would never send him out without a valid reason.

“Why?” Liam asked, not willing to move an inch from where he stood.

“Just go! Go now”, his brother responded.

Nathaniel quickly stood to his feet, helped Liam to his feet and started making his way out of the room.

They walked some distance away, but then, something caught Liam’s attention.

Just as the front of the door, he saw Tiffany walking into his brother’s room.

He was shocked to his bones, especially because he couldn’t bring up a reason as to why his brother would have a female maid in his room; at night…
