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

a fact that 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 were with my son, I

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

I’ve been forcing myself to feel numb to everything but I could feel tears brewing and

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 because he felt betrayed by you. He was really restless and unhappy during the times you guys weren’t together but he’s a very stubborn man like his father and they don’t like showing their weakness and I’m afraid his weakness is you, Clara. He tried to

didn’t. You have no idea

deep inside you and you’ll know that you are both at fault. If you had checked yourself and if you had told Damon the truth earlier on, things could have 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
