The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 15

~AUTUMN~

Clarissa’s words have shocked me to the very core. I knew exactly what had happened last night and the last thing I wanted to see was those events plastered on the covers of magazines.

I take another look at Atticus and realize that I was wrong earlier. He looked tired and like he’s been on the phone the entire morning. My hands are shaking as I reach for my own phone. I’m scared to see the headlines. Terrified. I knew how brutal they could be. And I knew how quickly news spread. Our wedding was still the talk of the town, now this incident would be an added bonus for all the gossipers.

The first thing I noticed when the phone lit up was the many missed calls from my parents. I swallow. They already saw everything. There was no use trying to hide it from them anymore. I was so screwed. My parents were going to kill me.

I keep scrolling, and I don’t have to look far. There are multiple videos posted from yesterday at the beach. It starts with me drinking and getting drunk. Then it shows Atticus walking towards me.

‘Get your f*****g hands off my wife.’

My body shivers at those words. I couldn’t remember him saying this earlier. Now that I’ve seen the video, the memory is back and stronger than ever. He’d called me his wife. I never thought he would ever openly shout it for others to hear.

I slowly look up at Atticus, and he’s staring at me. He knows what I just saw. He would have heard it also. He’s searching my face, trying to read me. Can he tell how much I loved that he called me his wife even though we aren’t married yet?

My cheeks turn red when I see myself dancing on him. I wasn’t even aware that I could dance like that. Judging by his face in the video, Atticus also didn’t expect that from me.

Damon and Dante walked in suddenly, and they looked pissed. Atticus breaks eye contact with me to look at them.

“What the hell are you doing, Atticus?” Damon demands. “You’re supposed to be making things easier for Anya. She’s been screaming and throwing up the whole morning after seeing all the videos that have been posted. Didn’t you once think about her and how she would feel?”

I notice the way Clarissa’s happy smile dies down when Damon mentions Anya.

Anya. I didn’t even think about her. Atticus always protected her. It must be difficult for her to see him protecting me now.

He looks troubled now that his brothers have spoken about Anya. I knew that the last thing he ever wanted to do was hurt her.

“Where is she now?” He asks Damon.

“She’s outside in my car. I’m carrying her to watch a movie to help clear her mind.” Damon answers him.
