Destroy My Life In You-Chapter 124: Liam’s Madness

"Good morning, Sunshine."

Ravenna shot up from the bed when she heard Liam’s voice. Ever since she’d been brought here, he hadn’t once come to see her. But now here he was, smiling at her as though nothing had happened.

"Liam," she called out, warily walking toward him but keeping her distance.

Liam closed his eyes and smiled even wider, as if the sound of her voice was sweet music to his ears.

"I love it when you say my name."

Ravenna frowned but brushed off his words, thinking he was still under the control of the Lycan King.

"Liam... I’m sorry. I’m really sorry," Ravenna first apologized, guilt surging through her.

This person had suffered because of her weakness. Because he had become her friend.

"What are you sorry for, Sunshine? You haven’t done anything wrong, alright?" Liam’s low, soothing voice filled her ears.

Ravenna shook her head. "You became like this because of me. This wasn’t supposed to be your life. You..."

Liam shortened the distance between them until only a single step remained. "What are you saying, Sunshine? I’ve never blamed you for anything. In fact, I’m grateful I became like this. If not, I would have died and been forgotten centuries ago. Then I wouldn’t have met you again."

Ravenna listened to his reasoning, but she thought he was only trying to justify what had happened so she wouldn’t feel guilty.

"I still ruined your life. You became a slave to some power-hungry Lycan King," she whispered, lowering her head.

Liam smiled, his eyes never leaving her. "Who said I became a slave? That’s not true, Sunshine."

Ravenna lifted her head, her expression full of confusion. "Huh?"

Liam sighed and turned away, facing the screen displaying Ravenna’s photos. "At first, I was under the control of the Lycan King, but with time, I regained my senses. I remembered everything... that happened to you. That... Vampire King... he killed you."

Ravenna shuddered as she felt the aura shift at the mention of the past. It seemed Liam harbored as much hatred for Alaric as Alaric did for him. Yet, as far as she knew, the two had never had a direct, one-on-one confrontation, neither in the past nor the present.

But what truly shocked her—though it also brought relief—was the revelation that Liam was no longer under the Lycan King’s control. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder why he continued serving the man despite knowing he had no good intentions.

"Liam, it’s not like that. Alaric didn’t—"

She was cut off when Liam suddenly smashed one of the screens with his fist. "Don’t... say that name."

Ravenna frowned, wondering what was wrong with Liam. But she knew better than to provoke him—not while she was still his captive. "Okay, I won’t. But he really didn’t kill me... No, I mean, he did, but he didn’t do it knowingly. I made him do it."

She gave a brief explanation, hoping it would at least ease his anger. But instead, it only made Liam’s mood darken further.

"You’re trying to justify it. I don’t care what happened. All I know is he killed you, and I won’t give him another chance to do it again," Liam said, turning to her. His eyes were blazing red with anger before slowly shifting back to their normal color.

Ravenna clenched her fists, a wave of discomfort washing over her. She could sense how serious he was. But what did he intend to do? Keep her locked in there forever? She would never allow that to happen.

"Liam, I’ll say it one last time. Alaric is the last person who would ever harm me. So you have nothing to—"

"I said not to say his name! Or else..." Liam snapped. "I’ll kill him."

"Liam!" Ravenna felt fury rise within her at his words. Threatening her mate and husband in front of her was something she could not tolerate. "Don’t cross the line."

Liam tilted his head back and closed his eyes, then looked at her again. "Then don’t cross mine either. I’m trying my best to be patient, but the mention of that name just... drives me mad."

Ravenna shook her head, horrified. Indeed, people changed over time. This was not the Liam she once knew. "Since you’re not under the Lycan King’s control anymore, then we have no business with each other."

Liam’s face went blank for a moment before a dark chuckle escaped his lips. "Oh, Sunshine. We have a long way to go, and we haven’t even started. I have to take care of some things so our trip will be free of any hassles or distractions."

Ravenna’s brain stalled for a moment as she tried to process his words. "What trip?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Oh, don’t worry about that. I’ll handle everything. Then we’ll leave this place and go somewhere far away, where no one will ever disturb us."

A shiver of fear crawled down Ravenna’s spine. What exactly was this man saying? What was he planning?

"I’m not going anywhere with you," she said firmly. She had a husband, a son and a life to go back to.

Liam’s smile faltered briefly, then returned, even wider than before. "Don’t fret, Sunshine. I would never let you suffer with unimportant memories. So, we’ll get rid of them and create new ones. Just you and me."

Ravenna stared at him, utterly lost. What madness had overtaken Liam? "It would be better if you let me go. I have no intention of going anywhere with you."

"Soon, you’ll only want me," Liam murmured, stepping closer to her.

"Don’t make me hate you," Ravenna said, seething with restrained anger.

Liam merely smiled and remained silent. Then, in one swift motion, he pulled a syringe from his pocket. Before Ravenna could even grasp what he was doing, he plunged the needle into her neck.

"Don’t worry, Sunshine. Everything will be fine once you wake up," Liam whispered as he let the syringe fall from his hand.

"What..." Ravenna couldn’t finish her sentence as the wolfsbane he’d injected into her bloodstream began to take effect, draining her strength.

Her throat went dry, and sweat poured from her skin. Within moments, her legs buckled, sending her crashing to her knees as she struggled to cling to the last scraps of her strength. But it was no use. Darkness swiftly closed in around her.
