The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 123

~CLARISSA~

After everything, how could he still hold her in his arms and treat her like he was in love?

I grew closer and closer to hating Damon every second that passed by. The man that I was once crazy over, the man that once was my protector, was also the reason for my pain.

Things have changed so much for us. Still, despite everything, I wanted to protect him from Anya. I would not let her hurt him. I would not let her hurt any of us.

When Damon lifts his face and finally breaks his kiss with her, he doesn’t look at anyone else but her. It hurt my feelings to see him behaving this way. In all their years together, I’ve never seen him act like she was the only woman he cared about.

Was he trying to change for her? Did he feel guilty and want to make everything up to her? Was he trying to be a good husband to her?

“I don’t understand,” Autumn whispers. “Just a second ago, Atticus told me that Damon—”

She didn’t get to finish; Damon turned and saw me next. His eyes widened, and his gaze lowered to the bruises all over my body. He’s taking in everything. He seems shocked as he tries to figure out what happened to me.

I watch as he slowly lets go of Anya, and before I know it, he’s running toward me. My heart skipped a beat, and I felt like stabbing the damn thing for betraying me at a time like this. I should not be happy to see him; I should not be satisfied that he was running towards me, not after the way he kissed Anya just a few seconds ago.
