Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 112

~CLARA~

After lunch, Damon had to leave to get everything ready for my ceremony. I had thought it was going to be postponed because of everything that was happening but luckily, it wasn't.

He drove me over to Delilah's house before leaving and Delilah and I have been searching for an outfit that I could wear.

Apparently, I was supposed to wear a white silk gown because it signifies being reborn but I didn't own a silk dress while Delilah owned thousands of silk dresses but not a white one.

“Ughhh! This is so frustrating. Damon had asked me to shop for a dress for you but I had been so busy with Luca that I had forgotten. He's going to kill me” Delilah mumbled as she paced around the room while I sat down on the bed watching her.

“Calm down, maybe we can hurriedly run to the shop and get something” I suggested and she glanced at the clock before letting out a sigh.

“Damon would already be here before we get back. He's coming to pick you up in an hour and half and oh!” She suddenly exclaimed as her eyes widened.

“What is it?” I questioned curiously and she squealed.

“Wait here, I know where to get a gown from. Don't move an inch okay?” Before I could reply, she ran out of the room and I sighed before glancing around.

The room was a mess so I decided to clean up while I waited for her.

Just as I was about to hang some of the clothes back in the closet, something glittering caught my eye. I should have ignored it but my curiosity was piqued.

I walked over to the drawer and as soon as I saw what it was, I let out a gasp. I knew this bracelet, it was the one Liam's father had given to his mother on their last anniversary together. She never took it off, not even when she was taking her bath.

I picked up the bracelet and I frowned. It was exactly the same and plus, it had their initials on it. What was going on here?

I grabbed the bracelet then went back to the room and sat on the bed and waited for Delilah to get back. I needed to know why this was with her.

A few minutes later, she came back breathing heavily with a silk short gown in hand.

“Oh goddess, I almost got caught by Damon. Anyway, my mother let you borrow her silk white dress but we have to return it in one piece though so try to be extra careful with it, okay? Get up and go have a shower while I prepare everything” She uttered as she placed the gown on the bed.

“Why do you have this?” I questioned as I pulled out the bracelet and showed it to her. Her eyes widened slightly then she gasped.

“Oh goddess, I had totally forgotten about her!” She exclaimed and I frowned.

“What are you talking about? Forgotten about who?” I questioned and she bit her lower lip.

“Why don't we talk about this later? Damon will soon get here and…”

“Now Delilah. What is going on?” I questioned and she let out a sigh before telling me everything and I gasped. So Liam's mother has been in the dungeon since then? She was probably dead by now.

“With everything going on, we forgot about her but it doesn't matter anyway, we wanted her dead in the first place” Delilah mumbled and I glared at her.

“I can't believe this,” I muttered. Yes, Liam's mother and I never got along and despite what she did, I'd rather never have anything else to do with that family but if she was dead… Liam was never going to let it go.

I didn't speak to Delilah after that and I knew they had done it for me but still.

She still talked to me like nothing was wrong though and informed me that her aunt had sent Alicia away to live with their distant cousin and that piqued my interest.

By the time she was done dressing me up, I looked like a whole different person which was always the case when Delilah dressed me up.

I stood up and glanced at myself in the mirror in awe. It was so surprising that the gown fit just right and goddess, it was so ethereal. Even though I wasn't talking to Delilah, I couldn't help but commend her on what she had done to me.

She dismissed herself to go get ready and in those few minutes, Damon arrived and I wanted to be mad at him but goddess, when I laid my eyes on him, all that anger disappeared.

“You look like a goddess, Clara” He called out as I walked down the stairs to meet him.

“You don't look so bad yourself” I replied as he walked up to me and it took all my will power to turn my head away when he tried to kiss me.

“Is something wrong?” He questioned and I turned to glare at him.
