CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX
Since Liam said that Alyssa’s family were going to get sold, the house had been so… awkward and void of any emotions. It felt as if someone died, and that wasn’t even close to the reason why the house was like that.
Ella continued trying to convince Liam, but he didn’t burge, because he said that his mind was already made up.
When the family members were asked to be taken to an empty room to pass the night before they got taken away by the people that wanted to buy them, Ella walked forward with tears in her eyes, and she pointed her index finger at Liam, like she was accusing him of something.
“Listen to me, Liam. You might be crazy, no- you ARE crazy, but don’t expect everyone here to act crazy too. We are not spending the night in that room.” She screamed at him, and her mother, Alyssa’s stepmother, tried stopping her, but she brushed her hand aside.
“No, let her speak. Since you’re so bold, why don’t you stay in the room… alone?” Liam asked, and he folded his hands against his chest with pride.
Ella instantly had a shocked look on her face, but it left as fast as it came.
“What?! I’m not staying there, we have all suffered enough. We are going to stay here until we get taken away.” She screamed, and Liam watched her with satisfaction in his eyes. Seeing her that way – angry, vulnerable, and crazy, was giving him so much pleasure.
“Hmm. Sure.” Liam said to Ella, just before he called a guard from outside, and he ordered the guard to lock Ella in a cold, dark room until the next morning.
“What? No, you can’t do that, Liam. You can’t! Are you crazy?” Ella said at once, while she was getting carried away by the guards.
“Why are you asking? You already said that I was crazy.” Liam said, and he let out a chuckle.
Alyssa’s father tried talking to Liam, but he wasn’t interested in whatever he had to say, so he just left before the man had the chance to finish saying his second word.
Even with the way Ella tried fighting the guards off, it still didn’t work. She was thrown into the room, which was more or less a dungeon.
Immediately Ella’s feet touched the floor, she realized that it was wet, and she was expected to pass the night there.
She started crying uncontrollably, and she was sure that people could hear her, but she didn’t care at all.
Hours later, the whole house was really quiet because she was sure that it was already midnight or a few minutes before.
She started looking around the room, and she saw that the room was slightly open because a guard was standing outside the door.
She peeped through the key hole and she saw that the guard was even trying so hard to stay awake.
Ella decided to wait for a few minutes, because she knew that the guard was just going to give in to nature and sleep.
A few minutes later, Ella checked again, and she wasn’t surprised to find the guard’s head resting against a wall, with his eyes closed.
She tried opening the door quietly, but it was really hard, mostly because the whole house was silent, and she knew that even a pin drop would be heard.
She tried again, and this time, she successfully pushed it a little bit. She repeated that five more times, until there was finally enough space for her to pass through.
Before she decided to pass through the door, she checked the guard, and she saw that he was still sleeping. So, she bent down, and she started crawling out of the space.
After doing that for about a minute, she finally succeeded, and she started walking slowly, avoiding places that she knew the guards would be.
When she got inside, she went straight to Liam’s room, but not before she grabbed a knife from the kitchen.
She started tiptoeing to Liam’s room, and she wasn’t surprised to find it open. He believes that he doesn’t need protection from other people to be safe.
Hmm, pathetic. She thought, as she entered his room quietly.
She frowned at him for a while, before she moved closer to his bed with a knife in her hands.
Ella ignored the small voice in her head that was warning her against what she wanted to do, and she actually raised the knife up, directly facing Liam’s chest.
She was about to bring it down, when Liam suddenly opened his eyes, and he grabbed her hands in his.
Ella knew that she was dead with that money, and she just dropped the knife. She started apologizing to Liam, but she knew that it was too late already.
Without saying a word to her, Liam tied her up in his room, and he went back to sleep.
Ella was a little bit shocked, because she thought the angry, sleepy man was going to kill her on the spot.
The next morning, the people that were interested in buying the family – and Ella, off arrived, and Ella was dragged down the stairs.
When she got downstairs, and she saw everything, she went into her crazy mode and she started telling Liam not to do that.
“Don’t do it, Liam. Don’t! You’re mine, don’t destroy our love with your hands.” She screamed, and one of the men that was ready to take them away, pointed to the rope tied around her body, but Liam shook his head.
“You wanted to kill me last night?” Liam asked Ella with a smirk on his face.
“Yes. Because if I can’t have you, then no one can. You hear that, Liam? Yes!” Ella screamed, and Liam let out a chuckle.
She was acting really crazy, but she didn’t care at all.
“You don’t belong to that filthy Alyssa, you’re mine. You belong to me, me!” Ella screamed at Liam, she started biting off the rope around her body, but Liam ordered two guards to forcefully carry her out of his house.
“Liam! Liam! Liam!” She screamed, as she was being carried away.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Alyssa’s family didn’t even say anything to Liam, they just quietly followed their buyers, and a few minutes later, Ella’s screams couldn’t be heard anymore.
After they left, Liam let out a sigh, and he turned around to walk back into his room, when he saw Tiffany frowning at him.
“Where are you going?” Tiffany asked Liam, and he raised his brows at her.
When he saw that she wasn’t in a good mood, he sighed and he told her that he wanted to check on Alyssa for a few minutes.
“No.” Tiffany said, and she turned around to leave.
“No… what?” Liam asked, and he started walking towards her, but Tiffany stopped him.
“You’re not allowed to see her. I’ve moved her to my room anyway, so you wouldn’t do that.” Tiffany said, and this time, she succeeded in leaving.
Tiffany left Liam to his thoughts, and she went to her room to speak to her best friend.
When she got to her room, she locked the door after her, and went straight to the bed.
