CHAPTER 109
Alyssa closed her eyes the moment Lucas threw another punch across Liam’s face. His face was now bruised beyond recognition and this shattered her heart. It felt as though she was feeling every bit of pain he felt, and this hurt her to the core.
She finally ran across to Lucas and stood across him, stretching out her hands as though she was going to protect Liam with all her might.
Alyssa cried as she screamed and pleaded with them to stop. None of them budged. Somehow, she felt that they weren’t even hearing her. Her head was aching terribly, and with every minute that passed, she was beginning to get convinced of the fact that Liam might lose in the fight.
The both parties had their own share of the fight. Lucas’s nose seemed to have swollen, his mouth was bleeding and he was limping. But Liam looked worse; his nose was bleeding profusely, and she was sure that he had broken a leg.
She was certain that Liam would be in trouble if they didn’t stop the fight abruptly.
When she couldn’t yell anymore, she walked into the fight and tried to separate them. That was a bad decision, because immediately she was close to Lucas, he picked her up and threw her across the room, as though she were a piece of cloth.
Alyssa’s head collided with a stone on the ground and immediately, she winced in pain. Blood started pouring out furiously and this caught the attention of Liam who quickly darted his attention to her.
“What have you done?” He asked Lucas who only smirked and smiled in victory.
“It’s not yet over! I would kill you”, he threatened Lucas and made to move when Alyssa whimpered again.
He hastily rushed over to her to tend to her injury.
“Where else are you hurt?” Liam asked as he tore off a part of his cloth which he made to wrap around her forehead that continued bleeding.
Lucas watched them from where he stood. With each step of compassion Liam showcased, the urge to kill him grew.
He moved his eyes to a plank that laid at a corner and without thinking twice, he picked it up and rushed towards Liam.
“Your back!” Alyssa called out immediately she observed Lucas who was now in motion to terminate Liam.
Liam stood up abruptly and kicked him on the stomach, right until the plank fell from his hands. Lucas groaned and made to throw a punch at Liam, but he was swift to dodge it. Liam held his neck and made to choke him to death. However, he recalled the state Alyssa was in and quickly rushed back to her.
“We need to get out of here”, Alyssa said with every strength she had.
“I have to kill that fool! I just need you to stop the bleeding. And please, stay away from the fight”, Liam said and started wrapping the clothes around her head.
They were too engrossed in the moment that they forget the enemy behind them. Just when Liam made to stand back to his feet, Lucas cranked him on the head with the plank. He staggered slightly, trying to keep to his feet. But the pain was excruciating and in a moment, he saw himself falling to the ground.
Alyssa let out a scream and made to run to Liam. Just then, she saw more of Lucas’s men walking towards her.
She couldn’t believe her eyes, because she had earlier thought that Lucas just had one man with him.
And then, that was when she realized that Nathaniel wasn’t even at the door again. He must have been hurt or injured by the men who trooped into the room.
“What are you doing?” Alyssa asked as she took fearful steps backwards, still staring at the men who held no glimpse of pity in their eyes.
Lucas let out a smirk and nursed the wound on his nose.
“It wasn’t supposed to get to this. You made me waste my precious energy. It was worth it, I just say…as long as you’re still by my side”, he said with a smirk and gestured for the men to take her away.
“Leave me alone!” Alyssa screamed as her eyes darted to Liam who still laid helplessly on the ground.
She returned her gaze to the men who had now approached her.
“You may not like it if you try to resist. We would advise you to play along”, one of the men who seemed to be the leader whispered into her ears, sending cold shivers down her spine.
The more she thought of leaving Liam in that state, the more frantic she became. She tried to push them with all her resistible their grip and pleading that the let her tend to him.
She turned to stare at Liam again, and the more she looked, the more she became convinced that he was fading from her. Her heart was heavy and hot tears poured out of her eyes.
“No! No!” She mumbled, still resisting their grip and focusing her attention on Liam who was slowly slipping into the world of unconsciousness.
And then it happened. In a snap of a finger, she had a sudden rush of every memory she ever made with Liam. She closed her eyes as she allowed her body feel every of the memory just as it passed.
She couldn’t decipher what was happening to her, but she freed herself to let it consume her.
The men dragging her were taken aback when they realized that she suddenly turned mute. They shifted their eyes to Lucas, who was also shocked and surprised.
At first, they had thought that she passed out or went unconscious, and so, this caused a great panic.
Meanwhile, Emily remained still, focused on the memories and drowning herself in them.
With each flash of the memory, she seemed to feel a gush of energy which was different from anything she had felt before. It was uncontrollable, but something within her didn’t make any efforts to fight it off.
The memory started off from when they first met, their blissful moments together, when they went apart, when they met each other again and when they planned for their wedding. And then, it transited to the present day and time; when he was at the verge of getting killed by Lucas.
That made her feel the greatest surge of energy and in a snap, she gasped and opened her eyes widely.
She let out a scream of agony and in a split second, there was a burst of a sudden light from within her, heading straight for Liam and surrounding him.
It seemed like a form of protection or barrier, a type which neither Lucas or any of his man had witnessed before.
They were shocked to their bones and sort of frightened. Liam on his part was surprised to see something like a light suddenly surrounding him.
“What is that?” Lucas asked with a shaky voice while Alyssa groaned again.
She was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, but none of them thought that whatsoever happened had come from her.
Lucas’s men were so scared that they quickly left Alyssa alone. This was something new and the more they tried to think of it, the more they realized that it was definitely going to be a threat to their lives.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
