Chasing The Rejected

CLARA

“If you need anything, call or mind link me, okay? I’ll try my best to be back as soon as I can and when I get back, we can decide on where we are going for our vacation” Damon murmured as he wrapped his arms around me.

I smiled up at him then nodded.

“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you” I murmured as soon after he left, I had my bath and got dressed before leaving the room.

Today, I was going to have a conversation with Dimitri and I had to thread carefully just in case Dimitri was actually the psychopath he was made out to be.

I didn’t know where to find him but I had a feeling he would come to me if he saw me so I went outside and sat down in the garden as I waited for him.

“I almost didn’t notice you because of how well you blend in with the beautiful flowers, buttercup” I heard his voice behind me and I smirked.

He came faster than I expected.

“Were you waiting for me to leave the house?” I questioned as he came into my view.

“As much as i would like to say that was the case, I just happened to be passing by when you walked out of the house and you looked lonely so I came to keep you company” He told me and I nodded before folding my arms.

“Good because I came out here for you” I replied and he stared at me for a while before letting out a chuckle.

“I know I’m the handsome and better brother but I won’t steal my brother’s wife” He responded and I rolled my eyes.

“But you stole Aurora?” I questioned and I noticed the way his face turned serious but in a blink of an eye, he returned back to his usual bubbly self.

“Well, I wouldn’t say I stole her but whatever floats your boat” He replied and I frowned.

“I want to talk about your relationship with Aurora” I uttered and his smile faltered.

“Well it’s just like they told you. I fell for her and raped her because she wouldn’t give me a chance” He told me and I scoffed.

“I know that doesn’t sound right to you as well. I know there’s more to it and I would like you to tell me” I told him and he tilted his head.

“But there is no story to tell, Clara” He murmured and I raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he was calling me by

my

real name since we met, which meant he was starting to get serious.

“I’m suspicious of Aurora, Dimitri and I feel like she came here for a reason and you know what that reason is. It’s not a coincidence that you came a week after she got here, is it?” I questioned and his eyes darkened.

“Telling you the truth might just get you in trouble, Clara so I think it’s best you leave everything up to me and avoid Aurora as much as you can” He muttered and I stared at him for a while. How could the truth possibly put me in trouble?Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“I would still like to know and I want you to tell me. I want to know” I urged him and he stared at me for a while then sighed before sitting down next to me.

“As you know, Damon, Aurora and I were inseparable. We did everything together and we’re always together. I won’t deny the fact that I fell for Aurora, as a matter of fact I liked her first but she never looked at me, all she wanted was Damon. Truth

be told, Damon never liked her the way she thought he did. As a matter of fact, Damon was still sleeping with other women while he was still with her but nevertheless, he gave her more attention than the rest. I love my brother, I still do and when I saw that Aurora and him were getting close, I started distancing myself from them so my feelings for her would die. At first glance, Aurora was an angel to me. She was someone that could do no wrong in my eyes and everyone loved her. If only I had known how wrong we all were about her, maybe things would have been different” He paused then took a deep breath before continuing.

“Later on, Aurora started showing her interest in me. If she fought with Damon, she’d run to me and tell me how better I was than Damon and that she wished she was with me instead. I was young and foolish so I believed her words and we started having an affair and I confessed my feelings for her and she told me she liked me too but I knew she didn’t. As time went on I began to notice her obsession with Damon. She stalked everything he did and slowly, the ladies he slept with all got murdered one by one” He revealed and I gasped.

“She killed them?” I questioned and he nodded.

“She didn’t want anyone close to him. She tried to get rid of Levi but she had nothing against him because Levi never liked her and kept his distance from her but she managed to get rid of me” He uttered and my eyes widened.

“She lied that you raped her?” I questioned softly and he laughed humorlessly.

“She drugged me and set up the whole thing. If anything, she raped and molested me that night and made it seem like I was the one. Damon immediately believed because apparently, she had been telling him I had been stalking her and all kinds of nonsense so he immediately shunned me and restricted me from coming anywhere near him or Aurora” He informed me and I nodded slowly, trying to take everything in.

So she had raped him and not the other way around? That was so sad.

I grabbed onto his hand without thinking and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

“It’s okay. The truth will come out soon” I murmured and he stared at me for a while grinned.

“It will” He responded and I let go of his hand.

“By your words, it seemed Damon didn’t banish you after that incident and I assume Aurora did something worse” I said and he frowned.

“Yes, she did a lot of bad things but the worst one was making my mother sick. Aurora was the one who gave my mother the sickness she has right now and why my mother-almost died in the past”…
