CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN
Alyssa took in a deep breath as she tried to calm the rage of her beating heart. She had to take fate into her hands and let go of the past. She couldn’t deny the fact that everything had been chaotic and heartbreaking. However, her greatest joy laid in the fact that Liam finally got a grip of himself and even asked for forgiveness.
“I’m not the best person, neither am I the worst. I’m just that girl who got trampled on”, Alyssa said calmly as she wiped off the tears that welled up in her eyes.
“And who am I not to forgive?” She asked rhetorically and started laughing aloud.
Liam only stared at her, silently hoping that she would accept his request and start all over with him.
“I’ve forgiven you! And yes! Let’s do this again”, Alyssa said as she tried to hold the excitement that brewed within her.
Liam couldn’t believe his ears. He was stunned that for the next minutes, all he did was peer into her eyes softly, sending a thousand words across to her, and majorly feeling grateful that she forgave him.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“I love you”, he mouthed and pulled her into and a soft and warm hug. For minutes, they didn’t move and inch away from each other’s arms.
And when they finally did, they got lost in their stares. It was the most beautiful moment for Alyssa. She had the man she loved back in her life, and everything felt complete.
Liam had been the man who had cared for her after her countless torments in the place she called home. He had been the man who she shared sweet moments with, moments she never wanted to go down the drain.
He beamed lovingly and leaned closer to her, taking in all of her lips and savoring its taste hungrily. His finger touched her face and tucked her hair away, sending cold shivers down Alyssa’s spine. His hands proceeded to the sides of her head and down to her neck, out to her shoulders and down to her hands.
Liam grabbed her hands gently, yet firmly, and wrapped them around his waist. After this, he took a pause and peered into her eyes calmly.
Alyssa took in a deep breath and closed her eyes in ecstasy, raging desires washing through her soul. She missed his hands, his scent, and she missed how good it felt to have his breath right on her skin.
He kissed her shoulders and ran his lips into her bare skin. Alyssa let out a soft moan that caused Liam to chuckle and want her more.
He took a hold of her left hand and placed her open arm right there on his heart. All she saw in his eyes was love, protection, safety, patience, and security.
“Don’t ever leave me, again”, Liam whispered, and he bit his lips and took hold of her lips ferociously.
Alyssa mumbled some response, but he cared less about that. The heat was intense, and he was going to do anything to quench the wild desire.
He pushed her towards the wall and made to pull her clothes apart. However, the sounds of chuckles followed by ascension steps made them stop abruptly.
They quickly adjusted their clothes and stood upright, hoping that their appearance wouldn’t hold any suspicious.
Tim ran into the room, followed by the queen, who was clearly having a play moment with him.
The queen stopped the moment she stood at their front. Her expression was straight and spoke of pure pretense because even if she tried to hide it, Alyssa could pick out a look in her eyes.
“Ohh! You both are here”, The queen said as she glanced at Liam and back at Alyssa.
Alyssa laughed slightly, to reduce the awkwardness that surmounted the room at the moment.
“We should head out and give Liam some space with his mother!” Alyssa declared and held Tim, who didn’t want to hear of it at first.
Liam chuckled and winked at Alyssa, even though Alyssa tried to give him some signals to wear a straight face.
“I would catch up with you some other time”, she said with a stutter, hurriedly moving out of the room and pulling Tim with her.
Once she left the room, a wide smile spread across her face. This was like a dream come true and at intervals, she pinched herself to be sure that she wasn’t in a dream.
However, with each pain she felt from the pinch, it became clearer that she was in no dream.
“This is reality!” She squealed in excitement as she grabbed Tim and swirled him around in circles.
The little boy’s laughter only gladdened her heart because that was all she ever wished for; for her son to know his father and be close to him.
Just as they walked, she couldn’t help but think of the different things they both went through. She thought of how she had run away because she couldn’t handle the guilt of hiding a big secret from Liam.
She thought of how she found herself in another kingdom, where she discovered that she was pregnant with Liam’s child. She also thought of the different days when she thought that she would never set eyes on Liam again.
As though it were yesterday, she could remember how her heart broke at each thought of it. And then, Liam had returned as a changed person; cold and utterly different from whom he used to be.
That was another test on her part because she was certain that she might have lost him. But then, here they were, still in love and willing to shove everything that had happened aside.
She needed to celebrate this, and that was going to be after she had put Tim to bed.
With a smile on her face, she read a bedtime story to him while he listened with rapt attention. He closed his eyes in no time and drifted away to sleep.
Alyssa walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen, where she grabbed a wine. She took it back to her room and decided to have a feast.
Her joy knew no bounds, and each time she thought of the moment shared with Liam, she felt a warm feeling in her stomach.
She screamed at intervals, jumped around the room and finally, laid back on the bed in ecstasy.
She felt glad that Liam was finally getting what he deserved; a woman who loved him and his son.
A wave of jealousy flushed through her when she imagined Liam being with another woman. It was a rough phase with Ella and inwardly, she wished and hoped that something of such would never happen again.
She took in a deep breath as she finally started feeling tipsy. She had taken a lot of wine that all she did was laugh in excitement.
Everything felt so good at this point. She hadn’t felt so fulfilled all her life, and she was glad that everything finally played out in the way and manner it was supposed to.
With different thoughts and imaginations of Liam swirling around her head, Alyssa finally retired to bed. It was a smooth night for her, the greatest she had so far.
At this, she slept peacefully and with a smile on her face, not tilting at all, until it was daybreak.
