The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 156

Book 2 Chapter 79

~CLARISSA~

My eyes widen at his threat. I knew Damon would never willingly let me go. I couldn’t stand back and let them harm him because of me. He’s already in a lot of trouble with everyone else. Some of his bruises hadn’t even completely healed from his fight with Dante. What the hell did these people want? And how did they know about Anya?

How long have they been watching us? How long have they been planning all of this? They chose to attack us when it was just the two of us. It means that they have been waiting for this opportunity to strike.

“I think you have the wrong person,” I say. I’m trying to stall them. I knew Autumn would be on her way with help as long as she’d seen my message. It wouldn’t take long for her to be here. “There’s nothing that I can do for you. So please, if you want, I can help you find who you’re truly looking for. I’ll help, but you must promise not to hurt Damon. He has nothing to do with any of this, so please leave him alone.”

“We will leave him alone when he lets go of you, Clarissa,” Skyler assured me. “That’s all he has to do. Let go of you. His future depends solely on him.”

They weren’t listening to me. They seemed to be convinced that they had the right person. And they would undoubtedly hurt Damon unless he let go of me. How did I convince him to let me go? I would do anything to save him.

But something still bothered me. What if these people were telling the truth? I didn’t know anything about my life before the Fawns entered it. What if this wasn’t a lie?

Who was I, exactly? Who was my real family?
