The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 177

BOOK 3 CHAPTER 13

~WILLOW~

He doesn’t say anything. All he does is watch me like I was a ticking time bomb. Did I make him that

uncomfortable?

I still can’t move my finger. I’m numb after being caught.

“What are you doing?” he finally asks, breaking the silence.

I flushed under his piercing gaze, “I was just about to wake you.” I lie. “Your arm, it’s um—”

Right above my breast. I don’t finish my sentence. When he realizes what I’m trying to say, he moves

his arm from on top of me.

“I’m sorry.” he apologizes. “I’m not used to having company in my bed. It may take some time for me to

get accustomed to it. If you want, I can separate us with some pillows or even get another bed for the

room.”

Of course, he would suggest something like this just because he’d touched me in his sleep.

“It’s okay,” I assure him. “It doesn’t bother me.”

He nods and walks into the bathroom. I bury my head against the pillow.

While he’s showering, I pull my diary out from under the mattress.

My dearest husband,

You kissed me for the first time. You’ve done the one thing I’ve been dreaming about since I married

you. However, I felt hurt when you said my sister’s name. You were thinking of her the entire time. I do

not blame you; I know you love her, and I know our marriage was f****d onto you. Still, my heart doesn’t

know how to forget your lips on mine. And I don’t think it’s possible to ever forget.

I quickly placed it back under the mattress when I heard the shower turn off.

It was my turn to get dressed for the academy. I pass him as soon as he’s getting out. I held my breath

as his scent hit my nose. It’s comforting and intoxicating all at once.

I cover my mouth and nose, trying to cancel it out.

“Are you sick?” Dante asks me, noticing my strange actions.

I shook my head. I don’t wait for him to ask any more questions as I shut the bathroom door. I quickly

showered and got out a few minutes later.

When I walk outside, Dante is already dressed while I’m still in my towel.

He looked up at my entrance, and his eyes immediately turned a darker shade. I didn’t think it was

possible for eyes as bright as his to get that much darker during the day.

I cleared my throat and walked over to the closet. It took me a while to remember that Autumn and

Clarissa had removed my old clothes. These were all outfits chosen by them.

I take leather pants out and match them with a white crop top.

“I’ll leave you to get dressed,” Dante informs me. “I’ll be waiting in the jeep.”

I don’t say anything as I watch him leave. When alone, I drop the towel onto the ground and quickly get

dressed.

When I walked down the stairs, I could hear someone whistling. When I look to my left, it’s Clarissa.

Both she and Autumn are happy to see my outfit.

“I knew it would fit you amazing!” Autumn exclaims. “Let’s see what those awful girls at the academy

have to say now.”

They’ve had plenty to say about my outfits in the past. They claimed that Anya had a much better style

than I did.

“We don’t care about their opinion.” Clarissa snapped. “What did Dante say when he saw this on you?”

“He hasn’t seen it,” I answer her. “He’s already in his vehicle.”

“Well, let’s get you outside,” Autumn says as she hooks her arm in mine.

Dante doesn’t even look up at me when I step into the jeep. His eyes are on his phone. After I buckle

myself in, he starts the Jeep and pulls out of the garage.

That was disappointing.

Neither of us says a word for the entire drive to the academy. When we arrived, I silently exited and

reunited with Clarissa and Autumn. They’d arrived at the same time as us.

“Did he have anything to say about your outfit?” Autumn asks me.

I shook my head, “No. He didn’t even look at me, not once.”

Clarissa looks annoyed, “I can’t believe him. You look amazing. Look at the many guys already staring

at you.”

I followed her gaze and realized that she was right.

Men weren’t the only ones staring at me; so were the girls.

“I think I know what’s going on,” Autumn says suddenly. “Isn’t today their anniversary?”

“What?” I ask, surprised.

“You’re right,” Clarissa whispers. “It’s on this day that Dante asked Anya to be his girlfriend. It’s the

same for Damon and Atticus.”

Oh.

I didn’t know how to feel about this.

“He’s going to be in a worse mood today.” Autumn sighs. “I think it’s best to avoid him for the rest of the

day.”

She was right. He was already in a bad mood because of last night. He must hate himself for kissing

me in his sleep.

“Look who’s finally made it,” Sharon says as we bounce into her.

“What does she want?” Clarissa mumbles.

“We were waiting for you.” She announces. “Everyone has prepared a surprise for you inside.”

What could she be talking about? A surprise? I’m sure it wouldn’t be a good one.

“We have nothing to say to you, Sharon.” Clarissa snaps as we pass her.

“Of course, the girl who slept with her brother will have nothing to say to me.” She retorts.

Clarissa stiffens, and Autumn grabs her arm to stop her from doing anything. I touched her other arm; I

didn’t want to see Clarissa get in trouble because of that woman.

We finally succeeded in calming Clarissa down and walking into the school. However, the second we

entered the hall, I understood what Sharon meant.

“What the hell is this?” Clarissa demands.

On both sides of the walls were pictures of Anya and Dante kissing. There were hundreds of flyers

everywhere, wishing them a happy anniversary.

I felt a sharp pain my chest.

How could people be this cruel?
