She leaned back behind the door, ignoring Liam's voice and pleas for her to open up. Her heart was racing and tearing apart each minute she heard him asking her for forgiveness. He truly didn't deserve the level of emotional tantrums she threw across to him because she was as guilty as he was.
"Liam! Go away, please", she said with a cracked voice, hoping that he would finally give up and walk away.
His heightened pleas and cries for forgiveness finally resonated into a small sniff. And after what seemed like ages, Alyssa heard his retreating footsteps.
She rushed into her room and paced around, with her hands digging into her hair and her heart beating frantically.
She had almost succumbed to Liam's pleas for mercy and she needed no one to tell her that she would eventually do so if she didn't think of a plan.
"I can't be in this plan anymore! I can't wait in this palace", she thought to herself as she paced around the room in worry.
