The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 82

Book 2 Chapter 5

“You must think that something is wrong with me for liking someone I can never be with,” I whisper nervously.

She gently takes my hand in hers, “no one knows more than me what it means to like someone you’re not supposed to want. I have been in love with Atticus since the first day I met him. I was never supposed to have feelings for him, not when he was dating my best friend. It’s crazy to know I was in pain because of Anya, and now the same is happening to you. Because of her.”

“It’s not just her,” I admit. “I know Anya is a pain in the a*s, but I would feel the same way if it was any other girl. I hate seeing him with any woman that’s not me. I know it’s selfish and wrong, but I don’t know how to control my feelings.”

She gently rubs my back, “I know what you’re going through, Clarissa. I’m here to support you through it all. It will not be easy, especially since he’s your stepbrother.”

I nod, “I know that. I know getting a tattoo with his name was stupid, also. Everyone would freak out if they knew what I truly felt for him.”

“As I promised you, no one will ever hear it from my mouth.” She promises me.

I smile and hug her, “I wish we were this close since the first day the Fawns adopted me. I wouldn’t have been so lonely.”

“I wish the same.” She admits. “But at least we have each other now.”

“Why are you always trying to steal my wife from me?” Atticus asks as he spots us.

Autumn gapes at him, “you promised me that you would wait instead of coming to see me without a single warning.”

He chuckles and pulls her into his arms, “I couldn’t wait. I wanted to see you in this dress. I can’t wait to get it—”

I clear my throat, “I love that you’re together for good now, but I don’t need to hear the rest of that sentence.”

Autumn blushes and playfully hits his shoulder, “come on, let’s get Clarissa to the ballroom so that she can find herself a date for tonight.”
