Chapter 150

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 150 ~DAMON~

My blood runs cold.

What was she doing here?

She shouldn’t be here. Why the hell was Clarissa standing in front of me right now? Who even brought her here?

I did everything to keep her from coming here tonight. Everything.

I attempt to move towards her, to protect her from what everyone is saying, but Atticus beats me to it. He’s already in front of her, and I can’t see the expression on his face from where I’m standing.

“Is it true?” He asks her. “Are you in love with Damon?”

Her face turns pink at his question, but she doesn’t look afraid.

Clarissa doesn’t even hesitate as she says, “It’s true. I love Damon.”

There were multiple gasps throughout the room, and my parents looked like their whole lives were shattering in front of their eyes.

Hearing her say it only made me want to protect her more fiercely than before.

“Clarissa, what are you even saying?” My mother demands. “He’s your brother. You can’t love him in that way. I’m afraid that’s not right. Totally wrong. We didn’t raise either of you this way.”

“No.” Clarissa snaps. “Damon could never be my brother. Having the same last name does not mean we share the same blood.

We may live in the same house, but I’ve never seen Damon how I look at everyone else. To me, he is different. I never tried to stop my feelings, and even if I had, I would have failed miserably. My feelings for Damon could never end.”

Atticus turns to glare at me, “You did this. You screwed with her innocence and turned her into this. You messed with her head, and now she doesn’t know what she truly wants.”

“You’re wrong, Atticus.” Clarissa disagrees with him. “You’re wrong about everything. Damon was not the one to pursue me first;

in fact, it was the other way around.”

“Pardon me?” My mother asks her. “You pursued Damon?”

“Clarissa.” I tried to stop her, but she wasn’t listening to me.

“Yes. It’s true. It was me.” She insists. “Damon has always protected me; he’s always given me everything I ever wanted.

However, there was just one thing that he made sure not to give to me, and that was the chance to be with him. He kept some distance between us even though I begged him for more.”

I could see the surprise on everyone’s faces at her words. I’d kept this from them before, but Clarissa gladly spilled the truth to everyone.

Why the hell was she doing this?

“Clarissa, stay out of this,” I shout. “Let me do the talking.”

“No, Damon.” She snaps. “This isn’t just about you. This concerns me as well. They need to know the truth. I was the one that insisted on this relationship. I was the one that pushed for it. You didn’t force me to do anything that I didn’t want to do; in fact, it was the exact opposite.”

“What are you saying?” Atticus asks in a disgusted whisper. “Are you even hearing yourself, Clarissa? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe that you could ever be that way.”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you and everyone else, Atticus, but it’s the truth. I was the one that was crazy obsessed with Damon since the beginning. It was always hard for me to see him with Anya, especially when I knew she didn’t love him as I did. I took advantage of Damon’s kindness towards me. I used it for my benefit.”

“That’s nonsense,” I growl. “I’ve always been yours since the start; you never had to f*****g fight for me. My heart has always belonged to you, Clarissa.”

“I know that none of you may believe me, but you can ask Autumn to tell you the truth. She knows just as much as I do that I was the one who went after Damon.” She confessed. “There were many times that he turned me down. He pushed me away repeatedly, but I wouldn’t give up. I couldn’t imagine a life where Damon wouldn’t be mine; I needed him. I don’t know what Damon told all of you, but what I’m telling you now is the full truth.”

“No.” My father says as he runs a hand down his face while still trying to comfort my mother. “This can’t be happening. It has to be a nightmare.”

“I’m sorry that you had to find out this way.” She apologizes. “It’s not something that I regret. Damon makes me happy, and I rather spend the rest of my life alone than be with someone other than him. He’s the only one for me.”

“Congratulations Damon,” Atticus says. “You’ve turned her into a girl that’s obsessed with you. You see what you’ve done to her innocent heart?”

“Can you stop that?” Clarissa demands from Atticus. “He may not be my brother, but he is yours. Your words are hurting him, in case you haven’t noticed. Damon is always protecting me; now, I want to protect him, also. You have no right to speak to him like that. He did nothing wrong. What else must I say to prove I’m the blame?”

“Nothing.” Atticus snaps at her. “There is nothing that you can say here tonight that would make me think otherwise.”

“Really?” Clarissa asks, accepting the challenge. “Then it might not interest you to know that I have a tattoo of Damon’s name on my body, and I’ve had it for a while, hiding it from the rest of you.”

My eyes widen. Why the f**k would she say that in front of all of them? She was determined to make it look like she was to blame for everything.

“You have to be f*****g bluffing.” Atticus growls.

“No.” She sighs. “I’m not. The tattoo is on my a*s. It was easy to hide under all of my clothes.”

There are more surprised and horrified gasps throughout the room, which was expected after what Clarissa had just shoved down their throats without any warning. Even I wasn’t prepared for her to tell them about the tattoo.

“That’s impossible,” Atticus says. “You didn’t cover much up on that trip. There was no f*****g tattoo; someone would have seen it.”

“Autumn helped me cover it up with makeup.” She informs him. “If you want I can show it to you!”

“Clarissa!” I growl. She was not showing her a*s to anyone in this room.

Atticus looks at Autumn for confirmation, and when she nods, I see the moment Atticus sees red.

He turns around to launch at me again, but Dante beats him to it. The last thing I hear is Clarissa screaming before he tackles me to the ground.
