CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR
After Liam left her room, she went to the bed and collapsed on it. She didn’t know that the things that Liam said were the reasons why he had been acting really weird to her.
Well, if she had known, it wouldn’t have changed anything, but she would have still apologised when she wanted to.
Now? She just wants to see her son and give him a big hug, telling him how much she had missed him.
He seemed a lot nicer to her than he had ever been for a few weeks now. She was at least happy about that, but she had a feeling that the happiness would be short-lived. Liam is a really unpredictable person. She thought.
She didn’t know what to do or how to even spend her day, so she decided to take a colossal risk by going into the main house.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Alyssa had been warned to never step her foot into the house unless she was told to, but she didn’t know the evil spirit that was pushing her to do that.
However, It seemed like she was up for it.
She got dressed quickly and before leaving the room, she looked everywhere for guards around. Thankfully for her, nobody was outside, so she knew it was the perfect time to go inside the house. While she was walking towards the house, her heart kept beating against her chest and her gut feeling was telling her that what she was doing was something that she was going to regret, but she was willing to take the risk because she was tired of staying in her room all the time. She wanted to disobey and be shouted at. That was a weird type of feeling, but she liked it.
Apart from the fact that she was bored, she was also going into the house to see her son. She was tired of being away from him, and she was willing to do anything for her to see him, even if it meant Liam killing her for trespassing.
She was a few steps away from the door, when she started hearing screams from inside the house, and she had to hide, so she wouldn’t be seen.
Ella and her stepmother were having a massive fight because of something Ella did. Ella was rude and harsh to the woman, and she just couldn’t take it any longer.
The woman threatened to leave the house if Ella didn’t change, and Ella wasn’t even ready to listen to her at all. She kept on arguing with the woman and not listening to everything that she was saying.
Alyssa, on the other hand, was listening to the fight that was happening between her stepmother and Ella. She didn’t like the way Ella was speaking to her stepmother like that, so she decided to intervene. She was about to open the door, when Ella’s stepmother announced that she was leaving the house. Because of the way Ella was trailing behind the woman, Alyssa went back into hiding, and she started feeling guilty for not fighting for her mother.
When her stepmother was gone, Alyssa angrily went back into the house to shout at Ella.
“The fact that I put up with your nonsense, doesn’t mean that other people will do the same thing. Do you even know that?” Alyssa asked her at once, and Ella turned around dramatically, with her eyes blazing with anger.
“What are you doing here?” Ella ignored the fact that Alyssa just insulted her, and she focused on the fact that she was in the house, trying to act like she’s meant to be there.
Alyssa didn’t say anything, she just kept on staring at her face like she wasn’t the one that Ella was talking to.
“You’re going to pay for this.” Ella said, and she started walking towards Alyssa. When she got to Alyssa, her heart started beating really fast against her chest and she thought that Ella was going to do something to her, but instead of hurting her, she moved past her and locked the door.
That action alone scared Alyssa more than getting hurt by her sister.
“You. Are. Going. To. Pay.” Ella said again, stressing the words slowly.
Alyssa’s heart started beating really fast, and she knew what the look on Ella’s face meant and what she went through the last time she saw the look on her face.
“Leave.” Ella said to the guard that was standing two feet away from the living room. She closed the windows and when she was sure that nobody could see what they were doing in the house, she asked Alyssa to strip.
At first, Alyssa thought she was just joking, but the glare that she got from her, told her otherwise.
Alyssa started removing what she was wearing one after the other, while maintaining a very weird and awkward eye contact with her step-sister.
When it was time for her to remove the last piece of clothing, Ella left and when she went back to the living room, she went back with a bucket filled with water.
“What…what…wh- do you want…to use that for?” Alyssa stuttered and watched her lips break into a malicious smile.
“You’ll find that out, won’t you?” Ella said and pointed to the floor. Alyssa knew what that meant, so she laid her bare body on the dry ground.
She could still remember the last time what Ella was about to do to her, happened. After that time, she had thought that she wasn’t going to hit her again, but she was drastically mistaken.
Ella asked her to raise her head up, and Alyssa silently obeyed. When her head was up, Ella moved closer to her and dipped her head into the full bucket of water.
Alyssa started hitting the floor in frustration, and Ella raised her head from the water. When her head was raised from the water, she started gasping for breath and trying to balance her breathing.
She started smiling maliciously at Alyssa and Alyssa couldn’t do anything, but to watch her do whatever she wanted to do.
Ella brought out a long whip, it was like the one that she used on her before, but this one was longer. She slowly rubbed the body while smiling at it.
Alyssa’s heart clenched against her chest at the thought of that landing on her bare skin. Ella was done with rubbing the whip, and she raised it up to hit Alyssa, and she instantly closed her eyes.
Ella started crackling like a witch, and Alyssa slowly opened her eyes to see why she was laughing. She saw that the whip was still in the air, and she eyed it suspiciously.
“Aw, poor little Alyssa. You looked so scared. You don’t enjoy me hitting you?” Ella asked, and when Alyssa didn’t answer, she got a deadly glare from her evil stepsister.
“I don’t.” Alyssa said carefully, and she bowed her head.
“Don’t worry, I won’t. Do you know why? Because I already have Liam.” Ella said, and she laughed again.
She left the room with the bucket and the whip. Alyssa didn’t know if she were to stand up from where she laid down, but when the guard announced that Liam was entering the gate, she stood up and wore her dress.
When Ella came back, she was about to shout at Alyssa for putting her clothes back on, when she saw Liam entering the house. He seemed shocked to see Alyssa standing there, but he didn’t acknowledge her presence.
Instead, he went to Ella and started hugging and kissing her. Alyssa couldn’t take it, so she left the room.
