Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 146

-DIMITRI-

I didn’t know how to react when I felt Damon’s presence in the dungeon. I had hoped I was mistaken but I knew I wasn’t, there was no mistaking his aura.

Damon and I haven’t seen eye to eye since the day he beat me up and had me thrown into the dungeon. I should have known Clara was the only one that could convince him to come here.

The guards opened up the cell bars and placed a chair in my cell for him. Damon took a seat and as soon as he disappeared, we let the silence settle down on us.

“You look like a**” He was the first to speak which shocked me. I stared at him with wide eyes then let out a light chuckle.

“When guilt keeps eating me up, it’s hard to think about myself” I explained to him and we went quiet again. What could I say? Apologize? Knowing Damon, that would just pi**him off more.

conversation.
