The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 122

~DAMON~

What the hell did she just say to me? Was she going to blackmail me into marrying her?

This wasn’t the Anya that I knew and cared about. Since when has she been this way?

“I know that you’re hurt.” I try to reason with her. “I know you don’t mean anything you just said to me. You’re trying to hurt me for hurting you, and that’s understandable. I know that this must be hard for you, Anya. I never wanted to hurt you. I’ve always been conflicted over my feelings. I could never tell what I wanted. I decided to marry you for the wrong reasons. I should have never asked you to marry me. I should have never made you think there was a chance for us to be husband and wife. I know I was wrong. I know that I deserve to be punished.”

I take another step towards her. I would do anything for her to stop this madness. I couldn’t let her go through with this threat.

“Please, don’t punish Clarissa for something that I did. I was wrong. I was the one that hurt you. I was the one that betrayed you. She had nothing to do with anything. She’s innocent. Please, don’t do this.” I beg her. If I had to go down on my knees, I would.

Her jaw clenched as she glared at me. “Look at how pathetic you look right now. Begging for a woman that you could never be with. Society will never allow the two of you to be together. Everyone will turn against you. When you turn your back, everyone will laugh at the two of you. They will scorn both of you. Your lives will be over for good. If you care about Clarissa at all, you will marry me. I’m sure that’s why you even agreed to marry me,. Wasn’t it? To protect her. You did it all for her. Nothing was ever for me.”

I knew she was right. She was saying everything that I was afraid of.

“I agree that the wedding wasn’t because I wanted to marry you,” I confess. “But I have loved you in the past. I have cared for you. You know this. My feelings may have changed recently, but I’ve always protected you from everyone and everything. I know my actions in the past don’t make up for all the wrong I’ve done recently, but please, if you cared about me at all, don’t hurt Clarissa.”
