Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 132

~CLARA~

I couldn't believe a word that came out of Dimitri's mouth.

“Dimitri, you should have come up with a better lie because all you've said is bullshit” I told him with a frown on my face and he sighed.

“I know you wouldn't believe me but I have no reason to lie to you” He uttered and I scoffed.

“Of course you do. You have been lying to me since the moment we met” I told him and he immediately shook his head.

“No, Clara. Everything I've said to you is the truth, I didn't lie. I just omitted the part where I was keeping an eye on you but you have to believe me. If we don't do something immediately, Damon is going to be in trouble” He said to me and I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair out of frustration.

“So let me get this straight. I have an uncle who's running around killing supernatural beings because of his ancestral inheritance and he and his human buddies are trying to frame Damon for their killings?” I questioned and he nodded.

“Yes. I know it sounds absurd…”

“It is absurd, Dimitri. That man you're claiming to be my uncle is human and I'm not so tell me, please enlighten me on how that can work” I urged him and he sighed.

“I don't know your family background, I wasn't able to find anything on your parents. As a matter of fact, it was almost like they didn't exist. The day my men and I raided one of your uncle's secret lair, I saw this picture…” He trailed off as he reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet and took out a picture before handing it to me.

“We saw this at the lair and I can assure you that is the man we are looking for and beside him is…”

“Me” I whispered softly as I stared at the picture with wide eyes. There in the picture was a little me standing next to a tall man who had an angry scar on his face. I was all smiles in that picture which was a sight to see and not only that but the scary looking man was staring down at me with a fond look on his face.

A familiar feeling immediately surged in my heart but I immediately shook it off. It couldn't be…

I trailed my fingers across the picture and couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face. I had genuinely looked happy with him and so did he but how was this possible? He was a human and I wasn't.

“How do you know it's not just some random man that took me in or something?” I questioned as I slowly turned to Dimitri.

“Because right next to this picture was a handwritten letter dedicated to you” He uttered and I furrowed my eyebrows when he pulled out a paper and handed it to me.
