Chapter 163

163 Marrying Clarissa .

Nathan Clarissa , I began firmly .

The kiss youre referring to was the Truth and Dare Festival , which was like years ago .

It was a game .

I gave you a peck on the forehead , nothing more .

Lyla was there too .

told me you But you liked me ? She cried .

What ? I laughed .

Yes , I like you .

We grew up together , its a normal expression isnt it .

Or would you rather I hate you ? Her expression darkened .

You dont understand .

I refused my mate because of you .

My feelings for you are stronger than anything Ive ever felt.as My chest tightened .

I opened my mouth to respond , but Clarissa came closer and reached for me before I could .

I love you , she burst out .

Ive always loved you .

Ive waited for you all these years , Nathan ; I want to be with you .

Lyla doesnt deserve you ; you should be with me and not her .

Can you calm down for a second ? I stepped back , feeling suddenly hemmed in with her in my office .

Just go to the couch , and we can resolve everything amicably without tension rising My father was right .

How had I missed this ? How could I not have seen the signs leading to this moment ? As I tried to find the correct response , something kind but obvious , Clarissa a again covered the distance between us .

She reached for me again , standing on her toes , putting her hands around my neck , and tugging me toward her .

Before I could react , she tried pressing her lips to mine .

I jerked back instantly , my hands coming up gently but firmly to push her away .

Please , I begged .

Stop this .

This isnt right .

She broke into tears as she clutched at my shirt .

Im the right one for you , Nathan , she insisted , her voice breaking .

What does Lyla have that I dont ? What do you see in her ? Ive been here all along , Nathan .

Im supporting you through everything … we were good before Lyla showed up .
