CHAPTER 98
Lucas couldn’t believe his eyes. He stared at Ella who went on explaining why he needed to take back Alyssa.
“She is only a manipulative bitch and trust me when I say that she deceived Liam into getting married to her”, Ella said with a scoff, hoping that Lucas would fall for her words.
He did and in no time, they were on their way out of the palace gates since Lucas would not want Alyssa or anyone else to catch sight of him.
“We can go to an inn and discuss in detail”, he said to Ella who smiled in fulfillment.
She was glad that there was a like mate who would stop at nothing to ensure that Alyssa and Liam are pulled apart.
She was not going to allow Alyssa get married. It pained her heart to realize that she would be in a happy home before her.
“That’s fine!” Ella replied almost immediately and together, they walked to a nearby inn to stay.
Just as they walked into the inn, Lucas’s mind was clouded with different thoughts. He thought of why Liam decided to marry Alyssa, and he concluded that it was only a mistake. He was the only one meant to get married to her and nothing was going to stop that.
He clenched his fists in anger when he recalled that Alyssa had been gone for years and might have turned away from him. Still, with that realization, he was determined to win her back for himself.
Lucas ordered more drinks after taking more than two jugs. He was pissed and enraged and all he could think of was having a lot of drink to drain his sorrows.
Ella kept mute and watched him, trying so hard to hide the excitement she felt in her heart.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“So, what now? You informed me about it and you should have some solutions too”, Lucas said after taking another gulp from the wine.
Ella shrugged as she sat up and glared at Lucas. Of course, she had a plan.
“I always have a plan!” Ella said with a glint of pride in her voice.
“I’m all ears!” Lucas replied aloud, slamming his fist on the table and causing Ella to shiver in fright.
“If you want me to help you, you need to listen and avoid making me look like the culprit! I wasn’t the one who took your mate from you”, Ella rolled her eyes at him while he clenched his fists and let out a deep breath.
“Go ahead with the details of your plans”, Lucas said to Ella who nodded and smiled.
“We would ruin their wedding!” She dropped.
“Of course! I know that we would ruin that. You don’t think I’m sitting here and looking at you because I have no idea that we would ruin the wedding, do you? Don’t be ridiculous!” He noted and started laughing aloud while Ella rolled her eyes at him again.
Lucas was a very annoying figure and dealing or working with him required a great deal of patience. At this, Ella shrugged and cleared her throat for the hundredth time.
“You would need me, just as I would need you. We all want the same thing; to stop the wedding. So you would help from your end and I would help from my end”, she explained to Lucas who nodded his head.
He was still confused and wondered why Ella was bent on stopping the wedding. He had a vivid reason since Alyssa was his mate. But he couldn’t point any vivid reason for Ella…
He shoved thoughts of that aside and decided to focus on what he wanted from his own end.
“Fine!” He replied, waiting to hear how she plans to achieve all of that.
“So, I would be the inside person. I already have my means of getting disguised as a maid. I mean, I had to use my life savings to pay up the person who gave me her servant’s tunic…”, Ella explained, even if that was of no importance to Lucas.
“And?” Lucas said almost immediately. He was running out of patience and what was worse was the fact that the wedding was scheduled to take place the next day. They were running out of time and the earlier they had a reasonable and valid plan, the better for the both of them.
“So, I would be inside. I would handle the security and give you access to come inside. I mean, we would have to keep out communication intact because we would strike the moment everyone is busy with one thing or the other”, Ella explained and Lucas nodded his head in understanding.
He was beginning to see sense in her plans and it excited him.
“We need something that would make her sleep”, Ella said .
“I can take care of that”, Lucas replied almost immediately.
“We have to be swift and fast with everything. She needs to be taken out of the palace right before the wedding starts. That would be our only best bet”, Ella said and Lucas nodded his head in understanding.
“Let’s talk about you. What is your cut in all of this? You appear to be more interested in all of this, even more than I am…it isn’t just mere hate, is it?” Lucas asked and searched her eyes calmly.
He didn’t find an answer, because Ella was quick to throw off whatever emotions she had brewing inside of her.
“That is not our business!” She said defiantly.
“We are talking of my mate here. Whatever it is that concerns her, concerns me as well. So, I ask again, what is your take in all of these?” Lucas asked, clenching his fist as though he was ready to throw a punch across to her.
Ella shrugged and swallowed hard when she observed that he was taking the situation to be a lot more serious than it was.
“One thing you can be sure of is that I would never hurt your mate. I’m doing this for you”, she lied and lowered her eyes to the ground.
Lucas was not ready to take any of her lies. This caused him to stand up and descend towards her furiously.
“Don’t dare lie to me! You aren’t doing this for me and you know it. Now tell me why are you making such plan against your sister!” Lucas said, pinning Ella to the wall and ignoring how hard she coughed from the impact it created on her neck.
“Fine! I will tell you”, Ella said as he finally released her and threw her to the wall.
She coughed until she caught her breath.
“I’m owned by a master”, she narrated, with Lucas nodding his head impatiently.
“I’m helping you because I need you to buy me from my master who would be attending the wedding”, Ella said to Lucas who then nodded his head in understanding.
He sent her away after they concluded on the time and location to meet the next day.
The night was a tough one for Lucas. He screamed at intervals, scattered things in the room and finally gulped down different shots of alcohol.
He was enraged that he thought of strangling the King who succeeded in taking his mate away from him.
His heart told him to let go, but no, he wasn’t willing to. He was going to fight till the end until he gets back his mate who is meant to be his wife.
