CHAPTER 107
Liam rushed towards the warehouse, almost stumbling in the process since there were stones along the way which stood as an obstacle.
He got to the staircase and stopped. There was no door of any sort, but looking below, he caught sight of a passage that seemed to lead into a room, through the staircase.
“You are not planning to go down there, are you?” Nathaniel asked Liam, with a scoff and big scowl on his face.
Liam smirked as he stared at the staircase intently. There was no way the clues he had been getting led to a dead end. He had seen something that belonged to Alyssa and he could swear that he felt her close.
“I feel her so close to me now. She is not far”,
Liam said as he closed his eyes tightly. He felt goosebumps on his skin and that heightened how he felt.
Without uttering any more words, he started taking the staircase that led to the underground tunnel or room.
“Wait!” Nathaniel called out and ran to stand before him.
“I can’t let you go. You are king and I would be solely held responsible if any harm come to you!” Nathaniel said and lowered his head in respect.
He was a friend to Liam, but his major responsibility was ensuring his safety at all times.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“There won’t be any harm. Now, move aside!” Liam ordered, but Nathaniel didn’t move an inch. He stayed still and swallowed hard, hoping that Liam would listen to his advice for once and shove aside his wild thoughts.
“I’m not moving an inch until I’m sure that Alyssa is not here”, Liam said defiantly and pushed Nathaniel aside.
His blood was boiling in fury and he was already beginning to have fierce imaginations of what he would do to the person who had taken Alyssa.
“What if it’s a trap for the King? What is there’s some sort of explosion waiting for us here? This doesn’t look safe and I would suggest that we go back and get reinforcements”, Nathaniel said, but Liam paid no heed to his words.
He walked in slowly and carefully, taking sharp turns around and staying at alert.
“If you want to help me, keep mute and keep watch!” He finally said to Nathaniel who had no option other than to keep quiet and follow him.
The warehouse was quiet and for a minute, Liam was beginning to think that there was no one in it.
He was at the verge of turning around when he saw a door, just by the end of hall way.
There were other doors in the underground tunnel, each of which were empty. But then, there was something amusing that the door at the far end. It looked nearer than the rest.
“I think she is in there”, Liam said, with his eyes fixed on the door.
He started walking towards the door, with his heart beating fiercely and his fists clenched in rage.

Back at the room Alyssa was held hostage. Alyssa stared at Nathaniel, with boredom dancing in her eyes. She was truly exhausted, but he wouldn’t stop coming into the room. She would have preferred if she stayed in the room without the frequent visits of Lucas who couldn’t have enough of her.
To Alyssa, he was only saying things that didn’t make sense. He had refused to believe that Alyssa didn’t love him, and so, he kept on bugging her with his thoughts of their wedding and life together.
“I have a son! That’s the truth. His name is Timothy”, Alyssa said for the hundredth time, hoping that it would be a valid reason for him to let her go.
“Timothy…”, Lucas mumbled and started laughing again.
Despite how hard he tried, he couldn’t get himself to believe such story. It sounded odd and highly impossible.
“I can show you some stretch marks I got from his birth”, Alyssa suggested since that seemed to be the only way to make him believe.
Her plan was to make him know that she was indebted to someone else, so that he would leave her alone.
Lucas looked at her intently, after which he nodded his head and gestured on her to go forward.
Alyssa took in a deep breath and lifted her shirt, showing a pair of fine straight line that stood as a vivid evidence of motherhood.
“I had these marks at the ninth month of the pregnancy”, Alyssa said quietly, feels uncomfortable with how he gazed at her stomach area.
Lucas was shocked to his bones and finally, he believed her. He was not a fool and so, he realized that she was saying the truth.
“That doesn’t stop you from being my mate!” Lucas finally said after a while and Alyssa’s heart dropped again.
“You don’t understand…I have a”, Alyssa was saying when Lucas placed his hands over her lips to stop her from saying what she was about to utter.
“You have a son! That is totally fine! That wouldn’t stop you from being my wife and queen. I would bring Timothy and together we would live as a family”, he said and deeply peered into her eyes.
“We would be happy, only if you give me another son who is not Timothy!” Lucas said as a wicked smile flashed past his face.
“You would carry my babies and make me a father. Nothing would stop that”, Lucas added and Alyssa continued with her soft whimpers.
She was certain that he had lost his mind. If not, why would he be insistent on claiming someone who does not love him? Someone who has a child with another man? And someone who was just about to get married?
“This doesn’t make sense!” Alyssa interjected, but he only licked his lips in delight.
“You lifted you shirt and I couldn’t help but observe how beautiful you look! So, I was thinking, what if I get you pregnant now, before we proceed for our wedding?” Lucas asked and Alyssa’s jaws dropped in shock.
Her heart beat increased when she saw the look of desire that flushed past his eyes. It showed intense want and cravings.
“I want you now, Alyssa. And you know that I always get what I want, whenever I want it!” Lucas said and leaned closer to caress Alyssa’s cheeks.
He grabbed Alyssa’s breasts and squeezed it roughly, moaning in a manner that made Alyssa yelp in disgust.
“Don’t touch me, Lucas!” Alyssa warned as she pushed him off and crawled backwards.
“Your mate is the only one with the right to touch you!” Lucas said as his breath fell on her bare skin, causing her to shudder in fright.
He grabbed her again while she screamed and fought him off incessantly. She screamed and yelled, pleaded and begged, but Lucas was not ready to hear any of those.
Once he pinned her to the ground, he yanked off her shirt, grinning in delight the moment his eyes caught sight of her bare chest.
“Leave me alone!” Alyssa cried as she kicked so hard, even if her efforts weren’t doing so much to him.
He was stronger and her weak kicks only made him chuckle in amazement.
He pressed her neck to the ground, almost choking her in the process.
His hands finally made to rip off the remaining part of her clothes, but as he did, Liam barged into the room in fury.
