Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 65

-CLARA-

By the time I woke up, it was late at night and I couldn’t feel Damon’s presence.

“You are awake” I heard a

a quiet voice and when the speaker came into view, my eyes widened slightly. It was Damon’s mother.

I wasn’t comfortable around her anymore after finding out that she had been the first one to be against me. She had tried encouraging Damon to get another wife according to the gossip I heard from the maids.

“Do you feel better? Your phone was ringing but I didn’t want it disturbing you so I turned it off. I hope that’s okay?” She questioned and ! nodded slowly but didn’t say a word, I didn’t need to say anything because the guilty look on her face as she stared at me told me that what those Maids had said weren’t baseless rumors.

“I think I need to clear up the air with you first because I’ve not been able to look at myself in the mirror without feeling disgusted with myself. When I found out you were barren, as a mother I was angry, I was fuming with anger so I called you a gold digger and asked Damon to find himself another wife” She uttered then turned to me maybe to see if I had a reaction but I just stared blankly at her and that made her sigh

you and Damon had a conversation about children before you got married and you not telling him you were barren only made me think that you married him for money and for power so I let my anger consume me but Delilah’s words were able to get through me and I realized they I was wrong. Throughout the times I’ve spent with you and seen the way you

the line and the only reason I didn’t tell him I was barren was because I was scared he was going to leave me or reject me and I’ll be all alone. I never had a family and a family is something Iso dearly want. Coming into Damon’s life, I finally felt like I wasn’t alone anymore and that I could finally have the family I wanted despite not being able to give him a child. I was so scared that if I told him, that dream of having a family would disappear and I was right. Damon turned against me and everyone immediately shunned me out” I murmured and tried my best to keep my tears

been trying not to feel, I’ve been forcing myself to feel numb to everything but I

my behavior and can only tell you how sorry I am. Delilah was right, having children is one of the greatest joys of a woman and instead of me judging and condemning you, I should have tried to understand you and that’s my wrong and I apologize for that but please give Damon a chance. Ever since you came into his life, he has changed for the better despite how much he tries to deny it. You’re good for him but you need to understand that he hasn’t changed completely. Damon is the kind of person that hates betrayal more than anything and I would know that because I’m still paying for betraying him years ago. He still hasn’t been able to let go. The way he acted towards you wasn’t because he didn’t like you but

how broken I was without him, I hadn’t noticed I was pregnant. If I had known I was pregnant, I would have protected our child with my life but I didn’t. You have no idea how long I’ve been wanting a child and it was tragically taken away from me before I could even

been different. If you guys had been together, nothing like this would have happened. Yes Damon has a fault in the death of your child, we all do but you do too and I don’t think it’s fair to put the blame on him. Damon lost his child too, he’s probably already blaming himself and if you blame him as well, I’m afraid he’s going to shut down and I don’t want that to happen so please, please give him another chance” She begged and I frowned and opened my mouth to say something when Damon suddenly barged into the
