CHAPTER 103
Liam ignored the chaos he was beginning to create. He would rather not care about that because the lady at his front was not his bride. And the worst was that his bride was no where in view.
“Where is Alyssa?” Liam asked again, taking slow and dangerous strides towards Ella who gulped down in shock.
Ella shrugged and kept mute. Inasmuch as she was frightened and scared of what Liam might do to her, she was not ready to reveal Alyssa’s whereabouts to him.
“I don’t know!” Ella replied bluntly, clearly not willing to give a clue on where she was.
“Ella!” Liam barked angrily as he clenched his fists in rage. His eyes turned red immediately and he could feel veins coming out on his forehead.
He hardly got angry. But then, his rage was capable of pulling down strong holds and causing extreme chaos.
“Where is Alyssa?” He asked again as the thought of what they might be doing to her.
He pictured Alyssa in a room, hurt in chains and unknowingly, he lost his temper.
He grabbed Ella on her neck until she was at the verge of choking. He pressed on her neck continuously, threatening her and willing to kill her on the spot if she refused to reveal the information she concealed. u
“Please, people are still watching”, Ryan pleaded with him and he finally let her go. Some of the wedding guests were still around while others had left after concluding that the wedding was only a waste of time and resources.
Tiffany took slow steps to the front until she was now facing Ella. Her blood burned in rage that she felt the urge to strangle her right there on the spot.
It pierced her heart more when she remembered that she didn’t tell Alyssa about Ella’s presence. Perhaps, if she did, they would have added extra measures to their security.
“Where is Alyssa?” Tiffany asked, clenching her fists in rage and peering piercingly into Ella’s eyes.
“No idea!” She replied bluntly and almost immediately, a slap landed across her face.
Ella was shocked to her bones and as she held her lips, she stared at Tiffany furiously.
“Where is Alyssa?” Tiffany asked again as she held her neck and started strangling her ferociously.
Ella remained adamant and unwilling to talk and this surprised both Ryan and Liam.
“Let her be”, Ryan said and gently pulled Tiffany away from her.
He looked at Ella and studied her calmly.
“What do you want? What would it take you to show us where Alyssa is?” Ryan asked Ella who broke into a loud and hysterical laughter.
“What I want is simple”, Ella noted.
“For Liam to marry me!” She divulged and for a minute, Liam thought that he had heard wrongly.
Tiffany exchanged glances with Ryan who was also shocked to his bones. How could she come out of nowhere and think that Liam would make her his wife?
It was ridiculous and definitely hilarious.
“You’re insane, aren’t you?” Liam asked, feeling hot blood pumping into his veins.
He ignored Ryan’s earlier orders and proceeded to shake Ella fervently until she cried out in pain.
“Tell me where she is!” Liam yelled out of his lungs, digging his fingers into Ella’s skin and watching how it started to bleed.
Still, she didn’t budge. She was bent on making Liam her husband and nothing was going to change that for her.
“Look…”, she finally said and turned to Liam, caressing the fresh injury that was hurting her severely.
“Alyssa is trouble and wherever she is, trouble and chaos looms. This palace was not an exception, and neither was ours”, Ella said and Liam clenched his fists in fury.
The queen was at the other end, trying to disperse the crowd and stop them from prying into matters that concerned the palace. It was rowdy, noisy and extremely chaotic.
“She came into this palace to steal an artifact, deceived everyone of you and finally eloped. She returned and the first thing she did was to attempt killing herself In the palace. Do you have an idea of how that singular act would have ruined the reputation of this palace?” Ella defended fiercely, while Tiffany stared at her unbelievably.
Liam couldn’t believe his ears. Alyssa had told him stories of how her step sister detested her, but he had no idea that it was to this extent.
“Did you dare mention the artifact? The artifact that was used to punish Alyssa? The one your father had to send her here for as a means to punish and send her away?” Liam was burning in rage now that Tiffany and Ryan feared of what might befall Ella.
“You witch!” Liam roared and started strangling Ella who still laughed and scoffed in her present pain.
She was willing to go further with the game, because she wouldn’t afford being the loser.
“If you kill me, you would never find her”, Ella started laughing, choking and struggling for air.
Ryan patted Liam calmly. Cecila was right afterall and if they kill their only source of information, it would be of no good.
“We can’t kill her. She needs to tell us where she is keeping Alyssa”, Tiffany said to Liam who groaned and finally pushed her to the ground.
“Just marry me and avoid making a mistake that would cost your life. Alyssa is bad luck and would always be. If you get married to her, you would suffer forever!” Ella blabbed while Liam dug his hands into his head, trying so hard to think of what to do.
“Fate brought us together. Do you remember? You had asked me to play a game with you in hurting Alyssa. You had made it look as if we both had something going on, even if it was only a game. But you don’t know something about me, I don’t give up on games, even if it’s fake or real…”, Ella continued while Liam opened his mouth in shock.
“I want to see the end of this game. I want to see myself win and be your wife…please”, Ella said desperately.
Tiffany walked closer to her and spat on her face.
“You would know no peace!” She said aloud after which she kicked her so hard until she winced in pain.
“Where is Alyssa?” Liam asked again as an idea finally struck into his head.
He would torture her until she finally divulged where Alyssa was been held.
He quickly called on his guards who rushed to him in a jiffy.
“Take her to the dungeon. Torture her until she is ready to speak!” He ordered without a glimpse of remorse in his voice.
Ella was shocked to her bones. She had expected every form of punishment, none of which getting thrown into the dungeon was a part of.
“Don’t do this, please”, she said as the guards grabbed her and started taking her away.
“Fine! I will tell you”, Ella said as she started panting heavily.
She was not going to live while watching Alyssa attain happiness. She wasn’t going to tell them the truth either…The embarrassment was too much that she couldn’t take it anymore.
“You can talk. Where is she?” Liam said to Ella while gesturing for his guards to let go of their grip on her.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Ella took hold of this opportunity and ran straight into the wall at the opposite end. She banged her head on the wall for three consecutive times and before they could intervene, she had fallen flat on the ground…dead, as blood pooled around her body.
