Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

The last few

w weeks have been torture.

e. After I fainted, I hadn’t wanted to go to the hospital so Damon wouldn’t think I was doing it to get his attention but I wouldn’t lie that I hoped… no I wished and prayed that he’d come visit me and make sure I was okay but he didn’t, he never showed up.

Luca came to visit me but bore no news or message from Damon so that was a bummer. I acted sick for a while to see if Damon would

come but he never did.

The only person that made the last few weeks bearable was Delilah. She had come to stay with me claiming she couldn’t stand her brother because she found out he drove me out.

Her taking my side surprised me because I knew Damon was like a hero in her eyes.

She moved into my room even though there were two other rooms in the house and made me go out with her every weekend. We’d go out to clubs and have the time of our lives or go shopping but each time we came back, all I could think about was Damon and what he had said the last time we saw.

Somehow, it felt like he really meant what he said and it

was tall

taking a toll on me.

I shook off the thought as I got ready for work while Delilah whined behind me.

“I don’t know why you have to go to work, you have money already. Even though you and my brother are having this break from one another, he’ll still get you whatever you want” She uttered and I sighed.

“Well I don’t like depending on anyone. One day he may wake up and decide he doesn’t want me anymore and takes away everything he has given me till I’m left with nothing and I don’t want that” I murmured and I saw her frown through the mirror.

“My brother would never do that. Not only because of his damn big ego but he’s not that horrible” She uttered and I frowned.

“I know he’s not a horrible person but I’m just taking repercussions, it’s nothing against him. Besides, I love working. It takes my mind off at lot of things” I murmured and by things I meant Damon.

“Hmm maybe I should get a job too. Maybe I could work at where you work. So you think I can get a job there?” She questioned and scoffed.

sure you can get any kind of job you want” I murmured and her

“Everyone fears the name Donovan, Delilah and you’re a Donovan. Pretty sure you eyes widened.

“Maybe I should follow you to work and see how it is then I might apply” She murmured and I smiled. She was being clingy all of a sudden and I didn’t know if it was because she felt sorry for what her brother did or she just genuinely liked my company although I knew for a fact that this last few weeks, I’ve been a Debby downer because of Damon but she still stayed by my side.

*Thank you for being my friend, Delilah. Beside Aunt Amelia, I’ve never really had a friend before” I murmured and she smiled before getting out from the bed and running towards me.

“Me too. People only want to get to know me because of my status or money but you’re different” She murmured then threw her arms around me and I tried not to sigh. The reason I had agreed to this whole ordeal with Damon was because of money.

I had to wait for Delilah to get ready then she followed me to work. Ever since what Damon did to Jasmine in the park and since everyone online was making fun of her because of the trending video, she kept her distance from me but I could see the glares she threw at me from afar but I ignored them all.

“Why don’t you sit down here and watch me?” I murmured to Delilah as I led Delilah to a table. She sat down gently and I got back to work

I noticed the way the manager intentionally gave me jobs that didn’t require strength or energy. Almost like she was being careful with me but I didn’t read too much into it because she always treated me differently from the rest since I was a Donovan.

Anytime I delivered a meal to a table, Delilah would flash me a smile and a thumbs up. Sometimes she would even clap excitedly and as cute as it was, I didn’t really appreciate the attention her enthusiasm was getting me.

I escaped the stares and went to take a break in the storage room for a while. I sat down there and was about to close my eyes to take a quick rest when the door opened up.

“You must think you’ve won right? Because you disgraced me, huh? She questioned as she gently closed the door behind her and I sighed before getting up. So much for resting.

I tried walking past her but she placed her hand on my shoulder and pushed me back.

“Jasmine. I’m not in the mood” I murmured and before I could say another word, she placed her phone in front of my face.

“Guess who I saw at the club? Your husband” She murmured and my eyes widened as I stared at the screen. There Damon was seated on a couch with a… a half naked girl on top of him.

“See? Your husband doesn’t care about you.

you. You’re just a trophy wife and he can disgrace me all he wants but the fact still remains that you couldn’t keep your husband because you’re a gold digging s….” I slapped her across the cheek before I could stop myself. I was about to hit her again when Delilah burst through the door.

name and was about to grab me but I made sure I pulled Jasmine’s hair before she pulled me away.

“Clara” She yelled out my na

Jasmine screamed in pain as Delilah dragged me away and when she saw was crying, she pulled away with a frown…

“What’s wrong?” She questioned but b

while I stood there in a trance.

before I could answer, Jasmine came out yelling like an animal so Delilah had to go dissolve the issue

Had Damon slept with another because of my attitude? Had I lost my husband? I couldn’t let that happen. I loved him and he was mine whether anyone liked it or not.

Without thinking too much about it, I brought out my phone and dialed his number. He didn’t pick up after the first ring but I called him again and he immediately picked up.

I just stood there with the phone pressed to my ear, listening to his soft breathing and instantly felt the tears streaming down my face. Gosh, I’ve missed him so much,

After a moment of silence, he uttered;

“What do you.” Then he paused as soon as I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. Everything just came tumbling down on me.

“Clara, Are you okay?” He questioned and the concern in his voice made me cry harder. Did he still care?

“I… I don’t know” I wasn’t okay,not even in the slightest, I missed him so much.

“What happened? Were you bullied again by those girls? I…NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“I miss you Damon. I can’t take it anymore, I miss y

s you” I blurted out before I could stop myself and he went silent.

“What?” He muttered and I instantly began to regret saying anything. Did he hate me?

This was a mistake, forget I said anything Goodbye Damon…

“Don’t you dare end this call and I mean it, Clara” He threatened and I immediately paused. I wanted to ask him a lot of questions. I wanted him to reassure me that he still liked me.

“What do you want, Clara?” He questioned and I bit my lower lip.

How de i tell him that I wanted us to go back to the way things were? How do I tell him I wanted to be with him again?

“Say it or I’ll never know what you want” He murmured and frowned. Should I tell him? If I did, Alicia might tell him my secret and

“Bye Cla..”

“I want you, Damon. I want you to come back to me” I murmured as tears rolled down my cheeks,

“Wait for me, I’m coming” was all he said before he ended the call and I stared at the phone for a while as my heart thumped in my chest. He was coming, he was coming back to me!

I didn’t even wait till my shift was over before leaving quickly explained the situation to Delilah through a text and she assured me she wasn’t angry and would be going home because she didn’t want to hear Damon and I doing the dirty.

That immediately made me blush and I couldn’t wait to feel him again, I couldn’t wait to feel his touch.

I got home and waited on the porch for him but what I thought would be minutes quickly turned into hours and before I knew it, it was almost midnight

I held on to the thin line of hope I had which immediately got cut when the clock struck midnight.

I let out a sigh as I stared up at the sky with tears streaming down my face. I guess he was really done with me. I guess he really didn’t want

me.

I shook my head slightly and stood up from the stairs and was about to head back into the house when i heard the sound of a car behind

I abruptly turned around and found Damon standing in front of his car staring directly at me.

We stood there for what felt like minutes staring at each other before he took several steps forward till he was standing directly in front of

“You came, I murmured softly.

“You called” He murmured then wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his lips on mine. I immediately welcomed his kiss and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

“Let’s push aside all the differences we have and let me have you tonight Clara. Just for tonight” He pleaded then buried his head in my neck and gave me little love bites which made me moan and he groaned.

“Damon…

“Please Clara, don’t say no. I’m aching for you and I can’t take it anymore. Please, we…” I placed my finger on his lips to stop him from talking then smiled.

“For tonight, my body belongs to you again. Do whatever you wish with it’
