Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 33 

-CLARA- 

So we wouldn’t cause a scene, we all went up to the conference room where Damon usually had his meetings and my goddess, this company was huge. I could only imagine the millions that were spent on it. 

I could feel both Damon’s and Liam’s eyes on me but I didn’t at either of them. My emotions were all over the place at that point. 

We walked into the conference room and we all sat down in silence for a while. I stole a glance at Liam and he was staring directly at me. 

“How are you a shareholder? I’ve never seen you in any of my meetings nor have I ever seen your name” Damon uttered, causing the both of us to turn to him.. 

“I bought it from someone else. You may know him as Mr Monterey Liam uttered and I heard Damon scoff 

“Call Mr Monterey and tell him I want to speak with him, now” Damon ordered and Luca immediately began carrying out his orders. 

“You look beautiful, Clara” I froze when I heard Liam’s voice and couldn’t help but glance at Damon. There was no expression on his face. In fact, he looked like he didn’t care and that hurt me more than it should. 

I took a deep breath before turning to Liam with a fake smile on my face. 

“You don’t look so bad yourself, Mr Whitlock. Congratulations on your marriage” I muttered and he frowned. 

“I didn’t want to marry her but it was for the sake of my pack. I couldn’t risk it but I came here because of you. How was the rejection? Did it hurt?” questioned and before I could utter a word, Damon slapped his fist on the table and turned to us with a menacing look in his eyes. 

“Clara, come with me now” He muttered through clenched teeth then stood up and walked out of the conference room. 

I let out a sigh and was about to get up when Liam grabbed my hand. 

“Does he hurt you? Are you okay?” He questioned and I stared at him for a while before signing and pulling my hand out of his hold gently. 

“I’m okay” I flashed him a smile then hurriedly walked out of the room. A woman directed me towards Damon’s office and I paused at the door for a while, catching my breath before I finally pushed it and was mesmerized by how big and beautiful the office was but I was instantly brought back to reality when my eyes landed on Damon who seemed to be seething with anger. 

“So what? You’re just going to blatantly flirt with him in front of me?” He questioned as he took menacing steps towards me and I was tempted to take a step back but I stood my ground. 

“I wasn’t flirting with him, he was flirting with me” I muttered and he scoffed. 

“Oh really? Did you think I didn’t see the way you looked at him earlier? You are married to me” He muttered and I scoffed. 

“So? I’m not treated like a wife anyway so why does it matter? 

tter? Why do you care who flirt with or who I talk to? I came here in the first place because I heard Jason and Job were suddenly fired and I knew you had something to do with it. Why are you doing this? We said we could be with whoever we want and neither of us could meddle in the other’s personal business so why are you acting this way?” | questioned as I stared into his eyes and he frowned.o could have sworn I saw something shutting down in his eyes. 

“You are right, I have no right to act this way, I got carried away I guess. You can leave, be with him if you w away and I frowned.

“Get out now!” He yelled and I jumped back in fear while staring at him with wide eyes before I frowned.

“This sexual relationship we had going on can’t continue. It’s igniting emotions in us that neither of us want so let’s end it” I muttered while still staring at his back and he paused. 

“I was thinking the same. Close the door on your way out” He muttered without even turning to me and I shook my head before walking 

out of the office. 

As I walked down the hall, I paused when I saw Liam waiting in front of the conference room for me. 

As soon as he saw me, he pushed himself off the wall and walked towards me with a smile. 

“Hey, how are you?” He questioned and I smiled slightly before nodding. 

“I’m okay, I have to get back to work so… I muttered and was about to walk past him when he grabbed my hand. 

“I bought these shares so I could be closer to you so don’t push me away, Clara. I’m sorry for how I treated you and I’m sorry I made you go through all that but never again. Even with the mate bond, I couldn’t love Veronica as much as I love you. Our love was genuine and I was blinded for a second because of the mate bond but not anymore. I’m here now and I’m not ready to let you go” He confessed and I sighed 

before turning to him. 

*I’m married now, Liam. I can’t do this with you” I muttered. 

“Just because you’re married, doesn’t mean you’re in love and I know you still have feelings for me so I’m not letting you go. Just give me at chance to prove myself” He murmured with pleading eyes and if it was in the past, I would have given in and let him embrace me but things weren’t like before. My emotions were complex and I just wanted some time alone to think things through. 

“I’m married, Liam. That isn’t going to change, I’m sorry but I can’t do this, bit now” I muttered and was about to walk away when he grabbed my hand. 

“Clara please” He begged but I wasn’t ready to have my heart crushed again even though it already felt like it had been crushed by Damon. 

“I’m sorry, I have to go” I muttered then yanked my hand out of his hold and ran away as fast as I could…
