The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 104

Book 2 Chapter 27

~CLARISSA~

A knock on the door forces me to get up from the ground. I didn’t want anyone but Autumn to see me like this. If it were her, she would have called my name.

I walk over to the door and unlock it. My breath hitches when I see Damon standing in front of me.

I gasp at the look on his face.

I was wrong. So very wrong.

He wasn’t as unbothered like Anya made it seem. Dark circles were under his eyes, his lips were dry, and his face looked like he hadn’t slept in days. What has he been through these past few days without being by my side? Is it possible that he’s like this because of me?

This was not the face of someone happy about their engagement; this was the face of someone that was having doubts.

“Did you eat anything today?” He asks, breaking the silence.

My lips part. Was that seriously the first question he had for me? It’s been days. He’s been ignoring all of my messages. He never once explained what he’d been up to. This is the longest we’ve ever been apart. And this is the first thing that he says to me?

I fold my arms stubbornly and glare at him.

He winced at the look I gave him. Good. I wanted him to know exactly how angry I was at him. It’s the angriest I’ve ever felt.

“Is there a reason you are in my room right now?” I demand. “Or are you here to apologize for something I don’t want an apology for again?”

He swallows and takes a step in my direction. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” I warn him. “I can’t think clearly when you’re near me, and this is the one time I want to be thinking clearly.”

He pauses, and I can see the confusion in his eyes.
