As I got into the car, I tried my best to stop my heart from racing so fast. I tried my best not to touch my lips as it felt like I could still feel his lips on mine. Oh how I had missed that.

When I saw him earlier, my first thought was to run up to him and hug him while crying on his chest. I missed him so much but I couldn’t do that. Even though Alicia wasn’t here, I couldn’t risk it.

“You’ll stop working there” Damon suddenly said, turning my attention to him. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“What? No” I muttered with wide eyes.

“I didn’t ask you, Clara” He murmured and I glared at him.

“I’m not quitting Damon and you cannot make me” I replied. I was sure after today Jasmine and her friends won’t bother me again so if that’s what he was worried about, he had already taken care of that.

pride that coaxed through my veins

I had wanted to be angry when he made Jasmine kneel before me but the overwhelming happiness shocked me. Even though Damon had probably done it for his name and to stop the rumors, it still meant so much to me.

No one, not even Liam or aunt Amelia had gone through such extremes to punish those that offended me but then again, it was Damon, he was always extreme.

“Come work with me. I’ll give you your own office and…”

“No1 immediately said and he paused for a while.

“No? You’re acting like I’m giving you a choice” He uttered.

*I’m not working with you. You sent me away didn’t you? Why do you want me to work with you?” I questioned and he sighed.

“I only sent you a way because you were acting impossible” He replied and I shrugged.

“I don’t care and I like being on my own so leave me alone. We are here, stop the car I murmured as soon as my house came into view.

I could feel Damian’s eyes on me for I didn’t dare turn towards him.

The car slowly came to a halt in front of the house and I tried opening my door but it was still locked.

I let out a sigh and turned to Damon with a frown.

“Open the…” My eyes widened as he suddenly pressed his lips against mine. I clenched my fist so I won’t be tempted to sink my fingers into his hair. Fuck Hoved this, I never wanted it to stop.

“Won’t you invite me in, Clara? I am your husband after all” He murmured against my lips and I knew I should be pushing him away before things got too heated and I wouldn’t be able to stop myself but I was too tired to fight how I truly felt.

“No, I don’t want your

ur scent lingering in my home” I murmured sincerely. If his scent lingered in that house, I won’t be able to stop about him although I was sure I would be thinking about him all night now after this

thinking

“Why the sudden change, Clara? You were the one who wanted us to act like husband and wife so why are you acting like this?” His voice was soft and I almost gave in and told him everything but this secret could cost me everything and I wasn’t ready for that.

“Because I can’t force myself to like you anymore. I tried but couldn’t I lied through my teeth while trying to avoid his gaze so he wouldn’t

know I was lying.

“If I leave today without entering your home, I’ll forget anything ever happened between us, I’ll forget about the feelings we both shared and I’ll treat you like a contracted wife. I’ll never contact you again unless it’s necessary and I promise you, I’ll honour this and no matter what you say or what happens, I won’t change my mind. Are you sure you won’t invite me in?” He murmured and I could see he meant every

word.

My lips quivered but I held back the tears, I didn’t want any of that, I wanted things to go back to the way they were. I wanted to be in his arms again but when he finds out my secret, he’ll hate me and would probably reject me then.

I couldn’t risk it, I just couldn’t risk it.

“Goodnight, Damon” I muttered as coldly as I could and we both stayed quiet for awhile till he pulled away and unlocked my door. I felt his my Aura turn cold and unfamiliar and I knew at that moment, I had lost husband.

I

“Get out” He muttered and I gave him a curt nod before climbing out of the car, into the rain and Immediately, he zoomed off.

I stood there in the rain for a while, letting my tears get mixed up with the rain as I stared at his car till it disappeared from my sight.

“I’m sorry Damon” I murmured as I cried bitterly.

“Madam you’re getting drenched in the rain!” One of the maids yelled as they ran towards me with an umbrella.

I let them lead me into the house and they ran me a warm bath while I just stared into space for what felt like hours as I waited.

Was this all really worth it? Maybe I should just call Damon and tell him the truth?

I reached out for my phone and was about to dial his number when I paused. If I told him, he was going to hate me more than he probably did now. I couldn’t risk then.

My tears fell on my screen as I began to cry again. This aching in my heart found only be caused by one thing. Love.

Along the line I had fallen in love with my husband, I had fallen in love with my mate. I tried denying it for so long but what was the use now? I had lost him already.

“Madam, your bath is really. Please come so you don’t catch a fever” One of the maids said and I sighed.

As soon as I stood up from the bench in the kitchen, I stumbled on my feet and my head suddenly felt dizzy.

“Madam, are you okay?” Obe of the maids questioned but before I could answer, I fell to the ground with a loud thud and my head suddenly began to ring

“Madam!” The maids yelled as they ran towards me and tried help

me up.

“We need to take her to the hospital now!” One of them yelled but I shook my head.

“Don’t take me to the hospital,I don’t

It want my husband finding out about this” I muttered before I lost consciousness…
