Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 125 -DAMON- I couldn't focus properly on the work in front of the because I couldn't stop thinking about Clara. These past few days, we haven't really been spending ttogether and it was beginning to take a toll on me.

I missed her so much and craved her presence every second of the day. I didn't know how much I had grown addicted to her till now.

A smile appeared on my lips when I remembered that we would be going on a vacation soon. Finally, I'd have her all to myself.

"Letguess, you're thinking about Clara right?" Luca questioned as he walked into the office, snappingout of my thoughts.

"Who else am I supposed to think of? You?" I questioned as I turned to him and he sighed.

"Sorry Mr grumpy pants. The council have all given their signature of approval for you to becAlpha King. Your father is really busy taking care of your mother so he hasn't dropped his signature yet but I'll go over there and have him sign it" He Informedand I sighed.

"Don't worry, I'll go see him myself later today. I've been meaning to see my mother" I said as I massaged my temples.

For sreason, my mother has relapsed and she seemed even worse than before. Clara has been spending most of her twith her and was doing all she could do to make her better.

As if on cue, my phone rang and immediately I saw the caller id, my whole mood lightened up immediately.

"Hello my love. Are you okay?" I questioned and I heard her hum in response.

"Yes, I'm going out to the mall with Delilah. I just wanted to inform you" She said and I smiled.

"Okay baby, have fun. Should I cpick you up later? So we can go htogether?" I questioned then I heard a scoff from Delilah in the background.

"There's no need for that. Delilah and I will return back together, she doesn't want to be the third wheel" She replied with a giggle and my smile grew brighter.

"Okay baby. I'll be hearly today so make sure to cback early, okay?" I told her and she hummed in response before hanging up.

I sighed as I pulled the phone away from my ear, I missed her so much.

"If someone had toldyou would be so head over heels in love with someone, I would have probably laughed in their face but look at you now" Luca uttered as he stared atwith a soft smile.

11:21 Wed, Aug 7 G8 Chapter 125 ☐40% Sometimes I look back on how Clara and I first met and couldn't think about what would have happened if we had never met at that party. What would have happened if Liam hadn't left her for his fated mate and she actually got married to him? The thought alone made my blood boil in anger never used to believe in fate before but with Clara, I knew no matter what we would have met and would have fallen in love no matter what. We were destined for each other.

After a while, I had to focus on the job at hand and push thoughts of Clara out of my mind till I was done.

I was just about to finish for the day when Luca rushed into the room with a frantic look in his eyes.

"Damon, there's trouble" He uttered and I frowned.

"What is it?" I questioned and he sighed.

"Your mother has been rushed to the hospital and according to your father, her heart has stopped beating" He informedand my whole world stopped at that moment as I stared at him with wide eyes.

My parents and I had gotten closer these last few weeks but I was much closer to my mother. She had askedto take her out on a mother and son date later this week and she...

I immediately stood up, gathered my things and left for the hospital with Luca.

We got to the hospital and we were immediately led towards where my father was.

A frown adorned my face when I laid my eyes on my father. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked way older than his age at that moment.

"What's going on? How's mother?" I questioned as I glanced at Dimitri then turned to Aurora who was crying profusely by the side.

"She collapsed and was immediately rushed to the hospital. I couldn't feel her pulse and the doctor said her heart stopped but they're doing all they can to revive her. We are just waiting on them" Dimitri informedand I sighed.

"This is all Clara's fault. I told you she didn't know how to concoct the right medicines but you wouldn't listen. If you had just lettreat her..." "Shut up your mouth and don't you dare ever blmy wife for such things” I muttered as I glared at Aurora. "Where is Clara?" Father finally spoke, turning my attention to him.

"She's out with Delilah" I Informedand when he turned to me, a chill ran down my spine which was something that has never happened tobefore.

"If your mother dies, I'm going to kill her with my bare hands" He said menacingly slow with a 9/3 Chapter 125 40% +5 murderous glint in his eyes.

"You surely don't believe Aurora's nonsense. She's..."

"Your mother toldClara told her she was going to die even before her illness got worse. I hadn't read much into those words till now. Clara has E been slowly poisoning my wife" My father informed us and I could see it was taking everything in him not to lose his temper.

"I don't know what you're on right now but Clara would never kill mother. You're overthinking it and.. You're Before could complete my sentence, he threw a small container atand I frowned when I stared at it. I have seen Clara with this multiple times especially when she was going to visit mother.

"Clara forgot this at the house and I was going to return it but didn't have the tto. After what happened today, I had an apothecary Took into the contents of that small container and he toldit was poison. Clara poisoned my wife" He toldand my eyes widened as my heart thumped wildly in my chest. It couldn't be... there's no way... Clara couldn't possibly have poisoned my mother, right?...
