I sat down in the car and wrung my fingers as I tried my hardest not to cry.
Luca and the guards were helping me pack my load into the car after Damon instructed them to and I didn’t say anything, I just walked towards the car and sat in.
I was afraid if I stayed in that house any longer, I might break character and Damon would know something was wrong.
“We’re doing the right thing, he can’t find out our secret. He just can’t” I uttered to my wolf when she kept whimpering inside me.
I felt so
disgusted with myself after the way I spoke to Damon yesterday. My woll even refused to talk to me after that but what could I do?! was afraid and I was protecting myself.
I glanced towards the house and there he was standing by the door with a frown on his face as he watched Luca pack up my things.
He turned towards me and I sucked in my breath. The windows were heavily tinted but it felt he could see me and it felt like he was pleading with me to stop with this attitude and I really wanted to.
Just then, Alicia
ia came out of nowhere and went to stand next to him. She had a frown on her face but I knew deep down she was reeling with excitement and I couldn’t help but clench my fist. She might have succeeded in driving me away but I know for a fact that nothing is going to happen between her and Damon so she was never going to win.
The trunk of the car slammed shut and I closed my eyes. It was time, time to leave this place I had called my home for weeks now. Time to
leave Damon.
I turned towards where he was earlier but he was no longer there. I tried to hide the disappointment on my face as Luca got into the car so
he wouldn’t notice.
“Are you ready to go, Madam?” He questioned and I nodded.
“Yes” The car immediately started and I stared at the mansion till it vanished from my sight and I couldn’t stop the lone tear that slipped
down my cheek.
“You know if something is going on with you, you can always tell Damon. He has a sharp mouth but he’ll listen especially since it’s from you” Luca muttered after a while and I scoffed.
“What? You can’t believe I don’t have feelings for him too? I just don’t want him, nothing is going on with me” I muttered and my wolf grunted disapprovingly. How was I able to lie so effortlessly? Years and years of practice.
say so Madam” Luca uttered and said nothing after they
ney and I didn’t bring up a conversation too.
“If you say
I was about dozing off mostly because I hadn’t slept a wink last night when Luca announced that we had arrived.
I looked out the window and was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the mansion was. It wasn’t as big as the one back home….
Home? I laughed at myself. After the way I acted with Damon, I doubted he’d want anything to do with me ever again.
“Come on, Clara. I’ll show you around and introduce you to everyone” Luca uttered then got out of the car, I followed suit and frowned at how huge the vicinity really was.
“I can’t stay here on my own, it’s too big I uttered to Luca and he raised an eyebrow.

“Sorry?” He questioned like he was trying to make sure he heard me right.

“I can’t stay here, it’s too big. Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful but I won’t be able to stay here” I muttered truthfully. I didn’t really like staying in a home alone, especially one as huge as this.
Sure there would be maids, butlers and other staff but it wasn’t the same.
“Oh sure Madam, I’ll make arrangements immediately. Excuse me Luca uttered as he brought out his phone and took several steps away from me.
I glanced around and Damon immediately came to mind. If he was here, I wouldn’t have minded staying here.
Besides the fact that I couldn’t stay alone, I knew everything here was going to remind me of Damon. His scent may still linger in the house just like it lingered on my body.
Chills ran down my spine as I remembered our morning sex. It took all my willpower not to moan my brains out.
“What do you me
mean she doesn’t want to stay at the house?” My head turned abruptly to Luca when I heard Damon’s voice from his phone.
“She said it’s too big and she can’t stay alone here Luca responded.
“She’s not alone, she’s with the fucking maids Damon replied and Luca sighed then said something in a hushed tone that I couldn’t hear.
“Okay take her to that house” Damon muttered then hung immediately.
Luca let out a sigh then turned to smile at me before pointing at the car.
“Let me take you to your new home” He murmured and i smiled slightly at him before climbing back into the car.
The house he took me to wasn’t as big as the one we just came from but it wasn’t a small house, it was a duplex and it seemed cozy. It has simple white picket fences and the yard was decent. It was just right for me.
The yard was so small that Luca couldn’t park the car in so he packed it outside.
“Is this place better?” Luca questioned and I nodded with a smile.
“Much better, thank you” I uttered then climbed out of the car. The house didn’t seem like it had been occupied by anyone for years which made me wonder if anyone had ever stayed here before.
“Are you sure?” Luca questioned and I smiled then nodded.
“Yes and I think it’s closer to work. I can see my work place from here so I won’t be needing a driver” I murmured and he frowned.
“Damon won’t agree to that, he’ll get you a driver. Let’s go in and don’t worry about cleaning the house, some maids are already on their way. Just get comfortable, okay?” Luca uttered and I sighed before nodding.
We walked into the house and all the furniture was covered with plastic. Luca turned on the lights and I almost choked on the amount of
dust in the house.
“Who used to live here?” I questioned as I glanced around. They were tea cups and girly toys s c t r d all over the floor and the walls were painted baby pink which was very pretty by the way.
“No one, this used to be Delilah’s playhouse” Luca uttered and I paused as my eyes widened. What? She was given a whole a s s house as a playhouse? Jeez!

“It’s a little small so I hope you can manage in here for a while till we find a better house. This was last minute and…”
“I love it. I hope Delilah won’t mind me decorating it a little bit?” I questioned and he smiled.
“Go crazy. I’ll have the interior designer here tomorrow. If you need anything at all, tell the guards outside or you can call Damon” He uttered and I frowned then took a deep breath before walking towards the window and I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw a car almost identical to Damon’s outside the house but when I blinked, it was gone.
I let out a sigh as I turned back to Luca. I missed him so much that my brain was starting to play tricks on me.
“Shall we check out the whole house?”…
