Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

I ran out of the house as fast as I could as I tried my best not to cry,

“Where is the garbage area?” I asked a maid I saw along the way and she took me there. Without wasting any more time, I looked for the bag that had all of Damon’s trash from his office inside.

Luckily, it was just on top so I didn’t have to go digging deep.

I immediately took the b

bag and went back to Damon’s office. He and Luca turned to me with wide eyes and before he could utter a word, I tore open the bag and poured all the content on the floor.

“There, you have your trash back. I’ll be moving in with Delilah” I muttered then glared at him before walking away.

“Clara” Damon called out as he ran after me. He grabbed my hand and I sighed as I halted in my steps.

-What do you want? Haven’t you insulted me enough?” I questioned without turning to him and heard him sigh.

“I didn’t mean to react like that. I just…”

to stop

“No Damon, you

ou did mean to react like that. Is this what you meant when you said we should start over? When are you going to hurting me? I just wanted to be a good wife and help relieve you of the stress you’re in and I know catching this perpetrator is taking a toll on you but don’t you dare take it out on me” I muttered then yanked my hand out of his grip before running out of the house and straight

toward Delilah’s house.

When I got there, I turned around and frowned when I didn’t see Damon behind me.

“That bastard, curse him” I muttered to

o myself th

then wiped away my tears angrily before I banged my fist on Delilah’s door.

“You better be someone important or I’ll…” She paused her sentence as soon as she opened her door and saw me.

“Clara? Is something wrong

She questioned as she stared at me with worry on her face.

“Damon and I fought again” I murmured and she sighed before pulling me in and I told her everything while she held me in her arms.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have brought the little boy home? I think Damon doesn’t like him here” I murmured softly and she sighed.

“Listen, till you came along Damon could barely even accommodate Luca’s presence. Now I’m not trying to justify what he did because he was wrong for yelling at you when you just wanted to help but my brother isn’t used to all these and therefore, most times he doesn’t know how to react and it’s not about the little boy. Damon is under a lot of stress at the moment” She uttered and I sighed.

“I know and that’s why I tried to relieve his stress a little bit but I just got yelled at” I murmured and she sighed.

“The two of you always seem to be arguing about something new every week. I don’t know if it’s because you’re so alike or because you’re so different” She murmured and I scoffed.

“If you think I’m like your brother then you’re indirectly calling me a jerk and a narcissist” I murmured and she was about to say something

when we heard a knock on the door.

Before we could move a Muscle, the door opened up to reveal Damon and behind him was Luca.

“Shit, I forgot to lock the door” Delilah murmured while I glared at Damon who was staring directly at me.

12:01 Tue, 2 Jul

“Let’s talk, Clara” He murmured and I huffed.

“I have nothing to say to you. By the way, I’ll be staying with Delilah in the meantime because I can’t stand your presence” I murmured then turned away from him and heard him sigh.

“Deliliah, out now” He ordered and she scoffed.

“This is my house, you…

“Delilah, let’s give them space” Luca interjected and immediately, Delilah stood up from the couch, flashed me a sorry look before walking out of the house, leaving me alone with Damon,

“Don’t come any closer, I might punch you across the face” I murmured when he began taking slow steps towards me but despite my threat, he didn’t stop walking till he was in front of me.

He squatted in front of me then grabbed onto my hand. I turned my head away but didn’t pull my hand out of his grip.

“I thought you weren’t going to come after me” I murmured and he chuckled.

“I’m always going to come after you because y

you’re my

my wife and I’m sorry for how I reacted. I’m not used to anyone touching my stuff and I know you’re not anyone and you’re free to touch my things. I wasn’t thinking straight at that moment but I know better now. Please be patient with me, Clara. I’m trying my best to be better for you” He murmured and I frowned.

“I just want you to stop making me cry, Damon” I murmured and he sighed then stood up and took a seat on the couch before pulling me

on his lap.

“It won’t happen again, I promise. I’ve handed the case over to Luca so I won’t be busy with that anymore and can solely focus on building our relationship. How does that sound?” He questioned and I stared at him for a while then sighed before wrapping my arms around his

shoulders.

I was done for because no matter what, I couldn’t stay angry

gry at him for long. I was utterly in love with Damon Donovan.

“I won’t forgive you that easily” I murmured and he chuckled.

“I know that. I’ve got a dinner reservation for us tonight. It will be our first official date” He murmured and my eyes widened.

“Where?”

“It’s a surprise. Luca and Delilah went out to pick an outfit for you. Don’t be sad anymore, I don’t like it” He murmured and I sighed.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“My husband is such a pain in the butt, I can’t help but be sad” I uttered and he placed a kiss on my cheek.

“He promises to change. Scout’s honor” He uttered with his hand on his chest and I snorted but couldn’t help the smile on my face.

“I’m sorry for dumping trash in your office but you deserve it” I murmured and he nodded.

“I did. Will you go back home with me, wife?” He questioned and I immediately nodded.

“Of course, Husband but you have to carry the there,” I muttered and he immediately stood up with me in his arms.

“How could I let my queen walk on thy soil? The ground isn’t worthy of you” He murmured playfully.

“Neither are you but here you are, carrying me” I muttered jokingly and he laked a wince.

“You wound my heart, wife, I’m going to have to punish you for that later” He murmured and I didn’t need to be told twice to understand

t.

“It depends on how well I’m treated tonight” I murmured and he chuckled.

“Don’t worry, by the end of the night. You would have fall

en in love with me” He muttered and I frowned.

Too late!…
