Chapter 145


    The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 145


    ~ATTICUS~


    I watch quietly, waiting for Damon to make a scene.


    I’d paid Kevin plenty of money to give that rose to rissa and ask her out. I knew that no one in their


    right mind would ever pursue her while we were around. That’s why I stepped in and used cash to help


    me.


    I’ve been suspecting Damon and rissa for some time now. Damon didn’t want to admit to anything,


    and I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, I couldn’t deny what my eyes were seeing.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Something was going on between the two of them. They weren’t exactly good at hiding.


    Yesterday, at the beach house, I noticed Damon couldn’t stop staring at her. I also noticed that she left


    around the same time on both nights, and it made Damon impatient each time. He stopped paying


    attention to anything before him as long as she’d left the room.


    I still wanted to believe that I was wrong. I tried to think that nothing was happening between them.


    After all, it made me feel sick to my stomach thinking of Damon with someone who’s supposed to be


    our sister.


    He should know better. Even if rissa didn’t know, Damon should have had some self-control.


    rissa looks at me, and I see the fear in her eyes. It’s another reason for me to think that this was


    genuinely happening. They were possibly sneaking around behind all of our backs.


    f*****g hell.


    This couldn’t be happening. Please don’t be true. Please don’t be f*****g true.


    “What’s wrong?” Autumn asks me. “You seem a little tensed.”


    I couldn’t tell her what I’d done. Autumn was lying to me. My mate was lying to me because of my


    sister. She was keeping secrets for rissa. If I told her what I was up to, she would no doubt warn


    rissa and possibly Damon.


    I had to catch them in the act. I had to do it so that they could not deny the truth to me.


    If it were true, if it turned out that something was going on between them, I would have to stop it. It just


    wasn’t possible for anything to happen between them. It was wrong. Very wrong.


    “Atticus?” Autumn tries again.


    “I’m trying to figure out why Kevin is giving a rose to rissa.” I lie. “I never knew that he liked her.”


    Autumn follows my gaze, and she gasps in surprise. Even she seemed worried.


    My eyes don’t ever leave Damon. I heard his low growl; I think everyone heard it. Thankfully, the


    professor was alsote to ss, allowing me to pull this off.


    I watch as rissa ces her hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down. She whispers something


    to him, and he turns to look at me.


    I close my eyes when he looks away.


    He would pretend to be calm so I didn’t suspect them.


    Autumn ces her hand on my arm. “Atticus. Something is wrong. Please talk to me.”


    “Why should I talk to you when you’ve been keeping so many secrets from me?” I ask her.


    I didn’t mean tosh out at her.


    I wasn’t angry with Autumn. I was mad at Damon. He was the one I wanted tosh out at. He was the


    one that had some f*****g exining to do.


    “What are you talking about?” She demands. “Are you still angry about that thing with Anya? I told you I


    was sorry.”


    She continued to lie to me. She knew that wasn’t the only lie she’d told me. She knows.


    I never knew my mate was this connected to rissa. She would even lie to me to protect her? It’s not


    like I would ever hurt her, to begin with, but Damon, on the other hand, I couldn’t promise not to hurt


    him if any of this turned out to be true.


    He wasn’t a child. He knew it would be wrong to have inappropriate rtions with rissa even though


    she was adopted. She was still our sister, for crying out loud!


    I open my eyes and watch Damon struggle to control his emotions. It must be killing him inside. I know


    he really wants to grab Kevin by his neck. His hands dug into his jeans, and it was bing harder for


    him to control himself.


    “Damon seems a little tensed, don’t you think?” I ask Autumn, waiting for her reaction.


    “What?” She demands. “We were discussing a different topic; why are you suddenly bringing up


    Damon?”


    I shrug my shoulders, “it’s just weird to me. Kevin seems like a good guy. He isn’t a yer. Why is


    Damon so upset that he’s giving a rose to rissa?”


    It was true. Kevin wasn’t a yer. He wasn’t a bad person. He was even the professor’s favorite with


    how well he performed in sses.


    Damon shouldn’t have any problem with it unless he wanted rissa for himself.


    I watch as rissa turns him down and tells him she isn’t interested. I got up from my seat and walked


    over to them despite Autumn’s disapproval.


    “What’s wrong?” I ask them.


    “Nothing,” Kevin answers me. “I’m just asking rissa to go on a date with me, but she doesn’t seem


    interested.”


    “Kevin is a good guy, rissa.” I try to tell her, stirring up trouble. I wanted to see Damon’s true


    feelings. I didn’t want him to hide them from me anymore.


    “I’m not interested.” She tells me. “I can’t ept this rose.”


    I nod, “it just seems you haven’t been on a date once. He can show you how nice it could be if you give


    him a chance.”


    “She said she doesn’t f*****g want to date him.” Damon growls, and I quirk a brow at him.


    “I was speaking to rissa,” I tell him. “What does it have to do with you?”


    Damon gets up from his seat and res at me.


    I fold my arms and remain calm.


    So it was true.


    This was not good. Not f*****g good at all.
