The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 148
~DAMON~
“You son of a b***h!” Atticus roars as heunches for my throat.
I moved away before he could grab me. He eventually grips my shirt and pulls me towards him. “How
dare you touch her?” He demands. “She’s our sister!”
I winced at his tone. She may be a sister to him, but she never was one to me. I had so much love for
rissa and it was not the same kind that my family had for her.
“I’m not going to apologize for loving her,” I shout. “I love her. I realized it too f*****gte, and I won’t
keep denying it anymore. It was too painful for rissa and also for me. I’m not letting go of her. I don’t
care if you want to beat me the f**k up. Go right ahead. I’ll dly let you.”
“This can’t be happening.” My mother gasps as she leans against my father for support. I didn’t want to
do this to them. I knew the effect it would have on all of us. But rissa was worth it.
“You should know better than touching her. She’s innocent. She doesn’t know what she f*****g wants!”
Atticus roars. “How can you even see her as someone other than a sister? You’ve taken care of her
more than any of us here. Was that your ill intention all along? Did you always want her? Since the
beginning?”
I clench my jaw but don’t move his hands from my shirt. My attention falls on Dante. He had a soulless
gaze on his face. It was cold and distant. I knew I’d managed to make things worse for him.
f**k. He was the one I was most worried about.
“I don’t care what you say; you must end things with rissa.” My father growls. “Have you ever
thought about your family and the impact something like this would have on us? People are waiting
every damn second for a story like this to bring us to the ground. Don’t you think our family has been
through enough already?”
My grandfather was silent throughout the entire thing, but I could see the displeasure on his face. Even
he was disappointed and disgusted by my actions.
“Say it now; promise us you will leave rissa alone after today.” Atticus growls, ring at me.
I look him dead in the eye as I say, “Never.”
I don’t have time to prepare before he punches me hard in the face. I fly backward a few feet, and I
touch my lips to feel blood. I clench my jaw and wipe it away. If he thinks one punch will make me
change my mind, he can think again.
“Atticus!” Autumn shouts as she grabs his arm to prevent him froming for me again.
“Stop it!” She cries. “He’s your brother. If you hurt him, it will also hurt you.”
His attention turns towards her, narrowing his eyes at her, “You knew all along. You knew about his
rtionship with her, and you let it happen. You didn’t just let it happen; you kept the truth from me. I’ve
been nothing but honest with you recently, but somehow you’re constantly lying to me. I thought what
we had was much stronger than this, Autumn. I’m disappointed in you.”
I can see the pain in her eyes from hearing him say that. I knew he was just angry; he didn’t mean it
and would most likely apologize to herter.
She swallows, “I know you’re upset. I know that rissa is like a baby sister to you. But you must
understand that she knows what she wants, and it’s always been, Damon. She’s been in love with himText property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
for a long time Atticus. She knew long before Damon knew. Doesn’t this remind you of us and what we
had to go through in the past? If we were in their position, wouldn’t you still fight to be with me?”
“This is not the same thing!” He growls. “Damon was supposed to treat rissa like a sister. He was
never supposed to touch her inappropriately or f*****g l**t after her. I saw how he looked at her at the
beach house; it makes me sick every time I think about it.”
I closed my eyes; this was going much worse than I expected it to go. Dante still hasn’t said a word to
me. Neither has Willow or Griffin.
“So that kiss,” Griffin finally says. “When Anya was still alive, we were all ying that game. That
wasn’t even your first kiss with her?”
“It was our first kiss,” I answer him. “Things have only recently changed between us. As I said, I’ve
been running from my feelings for a very long time.”
“What kiss?” My mother asks, confused.
The kiss that changed everything. I don’t say that out loud.
“My sister,” Willow whispers. “She wanted to marry you. But you loved rissa all along?”
“Willow,” Autumn whispers. “Please remember that Anya used a spell on Damon to keep him. It’s not
his fault; please don’t think that way.”
“I don’t f*****g care if she had a spell on him!” Dante roars. “He didn’t know he was under a spell. He
didn’t know what she was up to, but he still went behind her back and had these insane feelings for
rissa.”
“Dante—”
“I don’t want to hear a single word out of your mouth.” He growls. “You promised me that you would
make Anya happy. You listened to me pour my heart out to you; you knew how much I loved her; you
knew that I would f*****g die for her. Still, you stood there, and you made promises to me that you knew
you could never keep. If you knew that you had feelings for rissa, if you knew that you could never
give her your full heart or make her happy, why didn’t you tell me? All you had to do was say
something, and I would have fought for her. I would have never given up and allowed her to get closer
to you. I stepped back for both of you. I thought that would make you f*****g happy, Damon. I thought I
was making you both happy! Now I know how f*****g wrong I’ve been about you this entire time. My
own brother, I trusted you and you broke my trust!”
I don’t know how to respond. I was doing like he asked, staying silent. But it was still hard to listen to
his words and say nothing in return.
“I can never forgive you for this.” He finally shouts before storming out of the room.
Damn it!
