CHAPTER SIXTY
Timothy had not been making things easy for Liam since the boy saw his mother and he was taken away from her. He was scattering everywhere, while demanding for his mother and Liam kept on ignoring him, until he couldn’t take it any longer.
He screamed at Ella to take care of him, and he left immediately, without waiting for her reply.
Ella, not knowing what to do, brought out so many toys from his belongings that were taken to the house, and she heaved a little sigh of relief when she saw that the boy immediately became distracted by that, and he allowed a bit of peace to reign…for a while.
Liam was tired and feeling really frustrated, so he went to his room for some silence. He went to his bed and was about to rest his head on the pillow to have a nap, when someone started knocking on his door.
That made him furious, and he hit his legs on the bed out of annoyance. He looked at the door and decided not to open it.
By the time the person knocks ninety times, he…or she will get tired. Liam thought, and he finally succeeded in resting on the pillow.
He hadn’t even succeeded in closing his eyes when the person started knocking again. Liam groaned loudly, and he took a deep breath, before he finally stood up to open the door, but not before he cussed the person under his breath.
The door handle was twisted angrily, and Liam wasn’t surprised to see one of his guards standing right in front of him, with a worried look on his face.
“What?” He asked, and the guards started stuttering. Liam closed his eyes and really prayed that the guard didn’t disturb him, only to stutter in front of him.
“Sir, I just got to know that Alyssa’s family are coming over.” The guard said, and immediately, Liam became apprehensive. He didn’t understand why he was worried, but he really was.
The news wasn’t a pleasant one, and it was a bad one either, but it required a bit of knowledge to handle.
Liam quickly dismissed the guard, and he suddenly wasn’t feeling sleepy any more. He went to his bed and he crossed his hands against his chest.
The fact that Alyssa’s family was coming over wasn’t a good thing at all, and he started wondering how she would feel about it when she heard about it.
She would definitely feel bad about it. He thought and released his hands from his chest.
At that moment, her family members were happy with her because of the way she ran away from the mission that she was given, so now going over to Liam’s house to see her was a terrible idea.
He was distressed and scared for her. Alyssa was already heartbroken by Liam, so he just knew that seeing her family at his house wasn’t going to make her feel any better.
A sigh escaped from his mouth and he looked up, trying to think of what to do. He actually thought of going to her new room to maybe help her out of it for the meantime, but he thought against it.
He had planned to keep her in that room for as long as possible, so taking her out of it would just spoil his plans.
After a while, he got the news that they had arrived, and he went over to his window to see them arriving. They came down from the car one by one, and Liam’s heart skipped beats because of that.
He decided to go to Alyssa to help her out of the mess, but he decided to wait until she actually called him.
However, he went out of his room and when he was sure that they were all in her room, he went to stand a few feet away from her room.
Ella was a bit surprised that the whole family was around, and she followed Liam, with Timothy trailing behind her.
On a normal day, Liam would have sent Ella away, but since there was nothing normal about the day, he decided to let her be.
The three of them started listening to everything the stepmother and father were saying to her, even though Timothy couldn’t understand more than half of what they were saying.
They were saying a lot of mean and hurtful things to Alyssa, and Liam was holding himself back from barging into the room and shutting them up.
He decided to allow Alyssa to fight her battles by herself because he knew that she didn’t deserve his help.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
That went on for about one minute and Liam couldn’t take it any more. The stepmother had called Maia a failure more than three times, and Liam swore under his breath that if they insulted her again, then he was going to barge in there and…
They insulted her again.
Keeping to his words, Liam barged into the room, and he asked them to keep the hell shut.
Ella also entered inside, while carrying Timothy. Timothy wanted his mother, but she didn’t have any time for him at that moment.
“What are you doing, Liam?” Alyssa’s father asked him, and Liam threw a mean look at him.
“What you’re supposed to do.” Liam said, and he tightened his grip on her hand and drew her closer.
Alyssa was feeling all types of things for Liam, and hatred wasn’t one of them.
She was pleased that he was around to save her and defend her.
The stepmother was about to say something when Liam ordered them out. They surprisingly obeyed that, and Alyssa let out the breath that she didn’t know that she was holding.
“Thank you.” She said, as soon as they were gone, and Liam left her hand immediately.
Liam started pacing around the room with an angry look on his face. He kept on reminiscing about what they said to Alyssa, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Ella tried to stop him, while making Alyssa think that he could only listen to her. She dropped Timothy, and she went to Liam to calm him down.
Liam screamed at Ella to leave him. He didn’t pretend to even care about her again. Ella tried to apologise, but he sent her out too.
Alyssa had never seen Liam that angry, and she started getting so scared, especially for her son. She started thinking that Liam had changed so much – he was now so angry and scared. She didn’t want him anywhere near her son because she feared him hurting Timothy even though he was his father.
Furthermore, she knew that she had to stop him and tell him. So, she did. She told Liam that he wasn’t being a good father by being angry every time as Tim would emulate that attitude.
That statement made Liam stop in his tracks, and he threw a deadly look at Alyssa.
What she said triggered something in him, and he started getting angrier than he already was.
Alyssa started getting scared, but she didn’t show it. She just stood there, while looking at him straight in his eyes, daring him to do something.
