Chapter 22
-CLARA-
I didn’t fight back as Damon placed me in the car. I just curled up in a ball as I stared out the window.
He got in soon after and Luca and the driver followed suit. The car immediately zoomed and I could feel Damon glancing at me from time to time till he let out a sigh.
“What’s your problem now?” He questioned and I sniffled.
“I don’t want to do this with you a anymore” I murmured and he let out a scoff.
*Did I hear you right? All because he said he wanted to marry you?!” He was screaming now so I turned to him with a glare tespite the pain I was feeling.
“Yes Damon, he was willing to die rather than to reject me, He wanted me and he showed everyone that. I only agreed to this bloody marriage because he didn’t want me anymore” I screamed back with tears rolling down my cheeks and Damon stared back at me with disbelief.
“I’m your *g mate, Dahlia” He muttered through clenched teeth and scoffed.
“Is that supposed to mean anything to me? You and I don’t like one another, Damon. I can’t do this anymore” I murmured and his face suddenly tumed cold.
“Stop the car and get out” He ordered and the car immediately came to a halt.
The driver and Luca got down, leaving Damon and I alone together.
“We are married, Clara. The reason I married you still hasn’t been achieved” He muttered and I sighed.
“I don’t care, I love Liam and I want to…” Damon suddenly pushed his window glass and I gasped with her eyes wide as the glass shattered into pieces.
“Whether you like it or not, we are going to remain married until I achieve my goal and never should you utter those words in front of me again or I’ll go back to Liam and kill him without regret” He threatened and I glared at him.
When he saw I wasn’t saying anything anymore, he snapped his fingers and Luca climbed in with the driver.
As soon as the car started, I took off my ring and threw it out the window.
“I hate you” I screamed before turning away from him fully as I cried silently.
No one said anything after that and I ended up falling asleep and when I woke up, I was in my room.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Topened my eyes ast sat up slowly then I winged when I felt a slight pain on my right hand.
I raised up my hand and what I saw made my blood run cold. Damon’s name was tattooed around my ring finger!
I let out a loud scream and Damon walked in smoothly with a knowing look on his face.
He rested his body on my door frame and I glared at him.
“What the f**k is this?!” I screamed and he pushed himself off the four frame then closed the door behind him before walking towards me.
“You threw away your ring so I drew on one you cannot get rid of” He uttered and I stared at him in disbelief. Why was he saying it so nonchalantly?
“You are a psychopath! Why couldn’t you buy another one at least?” I questioned still in shock and he shrugged.
“I didn’t want you throwing it away again” He murmured and I scoffed.
“You are insane Damon. You could have at least drawn a ring but you drew your name so boldly at that!” I screeched and he smirked.
“Now everytime you look at your finger, you’ll remember you’re mine, Clara. I went easy on you, I only wrote my name once because you said you loved Liam once. If you say it again, I’ll add another name till your entire finger is full with my name” He uttered and I stared at him In disbelief. So he did this because I said I loved Liam?!
“But you don’t even like me. Why are you doing all this?” I questioned and he went silent for a while.
“I hate being second to anyone so this is a matter of you bruising my ego and I’m not going to let you get away from me. What do you see in him anyway? He made you share. He doesn’t really love you, Clara, he just wants to have you” Damon uttered and I turned to him with a glare.
“And how does that concern you? You don’t want me nor do you love me. I don’t care if you think he doesn’t love me, you don’t know what we shared together and I crave love, Damon. Are you going to give that to me?” I questioned and I noticed the way his face turned cold.
“No, I will never love you. I cannot love you” He murmured and my heart broke. I don’t know what I was expecting but he was my mate. Even though I hated everything he stood for, there was still a part of me that knew I would fall for him if he changed his attitude and treated me right because he was my mate but I guess that wasn’t happening
“Then this conversation is over. In the contract you stated that we couldn’t interfere with one another’s personal life. You f**k or be with whatever girl you want and I’ll be with whatever guy I want and I choose Liam” I muttered and the anger in his eyes almost made me retract my words.
If I didn’t know better, I would think he had some kind of feelings for me but that couldn’t be it. Like he said, I was just bruising his ego.
I thought he was going to say something but he just turned away.
“Fine then” He muttered and I watched as he walked towards the door. He turned the doorknob but the door wouldn’t open up.
“What the hell?” He muttered as he kept trying to open it but it wouldn’t budge.
“Open this door this instance” He yelled to no one in particular and I could have sworn I heard giggled before someone cleared their throat.
“It has come to my notice that you and your wife are having problems and I can’t have that happening. The door is locked from the outside and you can’t break it down so just spend the time with your mate, it will be opened in the morning” The Alpha King’s voice sounded and I gasped with my eyes wide.
“What the f**k are you on old man? Open this f**g door!” Damon ordered and if I was the one, I would have opened the door immediately but I guess his tone didn’t work on the Alpha King.
“No. Her mark has been removed and you have a duty to mark her so she can be your Luna. Work out your issues by tomorrow or I won’t let you out. Good night Clara” The Alpha King uttered and then walked away while Damian tried his best to open it. I immediately jumped out of bed and ran towards the door.
“Can’t you break it down?” I questioned as I stared at him with wide eyes.
“Don’t you think I would if I could? The door is made of wrought iron laced with Silver and Wolfsbane so even if I break it down, which i doubt, I’ll be badly injured” He explained and I sighed.
“So what does that mean?” I questioned and he turned to me.
“I guess we are stuck together for the night” And we both groaned…
