The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 48

~ATTICUS~

“Hold me tighter,” Anya says as I wrap my arms around her. I do as she says, but something doesn’t seem right. She’s still the same woman I fell in love with; she looks the same and acts the same, but there was something that made me feel uncomfortable about the entire thing.

Ever since I recovered from the accident that I had no memory of ever happening, my feelings for Anya felt wrong. I couldn’t tell her that without hurting her feelings. So I kept it all to myself, but it was bothering me ever since I woke up and felt a surge of emptiness when she hugged me on the hospital bed. I hadn’t been able to focus on anything ever that day.

Maybe the accident messed with my head and my heart. I constantly felt like I had forgotten someone important to me. I was searching the room for someone that day, and I never found her. I thought that it was Anya that I was looking for, but I soon realized that it wasn’t her. It was someone else, but that didn’t make sense to me.

I considered speaking to Dante and Damon about it, but they haven’t been acting normal around me. No one was acting normal. They treated me like they were afraid I would snap any second now.

“Atticus?” Anya whispers.

Whenever I touched her, I felt like I was betraying someone else. But who could I possibly be crossing?

“Yes.” I finally respond even though my mind is far.

“Is everything okay?” She asks hesitantly. “You seem to be a bit distant with me recently. I feel like something is wrong. I’m here for you if you need someone to talk to.”

I nod, “I know that you are. I’m just uneasy not knowing anything about the accident. No one wants to talk to me about it. The articles seem fake. The only proof I have of the accident is the jeep.”

They were hiding it from me because they wanted to protect me. Whatever it was, it had to be detrimental. They were afraid that when I found out, I would go into a state of shock.
