I knew Alicia’s presence was bugging Clara and I had no idea why. Couldn’t she see that I only had eyes for her?

I didn’t know what else to do and I couldn’t ask Alicia to leave because my parents loved her and actually saw her like a second daughter.

I know how devastated they were when she was pronounced dead. I didn’t want to admit it but I was glad Alicia was back too. She had been like a best friend to me and it felt great to know she had been okay all these years.

I knew she and Clara could get along if they pushed aside their differences.

I grabbed onto Clara’s hand and placed a kiss on her cheek.

“You have nothing to worry about. My parents may not show it often but they love you” I murmured. I didn’t need to see to know how jealous she was because of the attention Alicia was getting from my parents.

I didn’t know if Clara knew this but i could feel all her emotions and I didn’t know what else to do but assure her at this point.

She smiled up at me then leaned into my arms as we watched Alicia interact with my parents.

“I’m just glad you’re okay dear. We were so worried about you but now you’re back and look how lovely you look” My mother complimented and Alicia giggled.

“Thank you mother. A very nice family took me in in the human territory so that’s where I’ve been. Anyway, I heard you relapsed, are you okay? Do you feel any pain?” Alicia murmured worried as she placed the back of her palm on my mother’s forehead,

“I’m okay. Clara has been treating me and she’s doing a great job” My mother murmured and I glanced down at Clara and smiled when I saw the smile on her face.

“Oh it seems she is but don’t you think I should just continue treating you? I’m the one that knows your disease best Alicia uttered and Clara’s smile was immediately replaced with a frown which made me frown but before I could say anything, my mother uttered.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Thank you Alicia but my daughter in law is doing a very good job. I feel so much better and she just started yesterday. By the way dear, aren’t you here to give me my medicine?” My mother questioned, turning her attention to Clara.

Clara was seemingly taken aback by what my mother did but nevertheless she smiled and nodded before detaching herself from my side and walking towards my mother and I had to admit, I missed her warmth.

Fuck, what this girl was doing to me was illegal

Alicia had to get up from the bed so Clara could sit down and she immediately came to stand beside me. She tried engaging me in a conversation but I couldn’t hear her because my eyes were glued on my wife.

“Today’s medicine is going to be bitter, okay?” Clara murmured softly and my mother sighed then nodded.

She grimaced as Clara fed her the medicine.

“That’s the worst thing I have ever tasted? My mother uttered then reached out for my father who immediately came running to her. He placed a kiss on her forehead then gave her water.

I never used to understand why my parents were so obsessed with one another even after being together for years. I knew being mates played a role in it but being with Clara pas shown me that it’s more than just a mate bond. I was desperately in love with my wife.

“The more bitter it is, the more effective the medicine is. Tonight’s own won’t be as bitter, don’t worry” Clara uttered as she slowly stood up

from the bed.

1 immediately walked up to her and pulled her into my embrace, purring at how well her body fitted into mine.

“Good job” Imurmured then placed a kiss on her lips and she smiled.

Soon after, we said goodbye to our parents.

“So can take my wife on a date tonight?” I questioned and she made a thinking face.

“Only if you get to sing for me again” She murmured and I chuckled.

“It’s a deal” i uttered as we walked out of the house.

“Damon, I’ll like to speak with you” Clara and I turned around and found Alicia behind us.

I glanced down at Clara and when I saw the hesitation on her face, I was about to tell Alicia no when Clara spoke.

“I’ll be waiting for you in the car. Be quick” She murmured then stood on her toes and placed a kiss on my lips before walking away.

As soon as

s she was gone

gone, I turned to Alicia.

“What is it?” I questioned and she frowned.

“You don’t have to be so cold towards me, Damon. Did I wrong you? We were on good terms before I left. I tried reaching you several times but…”

“I can’t do this with you, Alicia. My wife is waiting for me and I’ve tried so hard to get us to where we are not and I won’t let anything ruin this for me. We are on good terms but I’m not the Damon you once knew” I uttered and was about to walk away when she spoke.

“You love her that much huh? Everything we went through in the past means nothing to you because you seem too happy to throw that all away. I never stopped thinking about you Damon and now that I think about it, I regret leaving because if I hadn’t left, you wouldn’t be with her” She murmured and I sighed.

“Alicia I’m not having this conversation with you” I muttered and tried walking away when she spoke again.

“Please don’t go. I promise I’m not going to make any move on you anymore but at least can we be friends? I missed how close we used to be and I know we cannot be lovers anymore but I can still be your friend right? I’m more than willing to be Clara’s friend too if she’d let me” She uttered and I stared at her for a while then nodded.

“Sure we can be friends and I’m sure you’ll get along with Clara and I would really like it if you do. I have to go now” I muttered then turned around and walked away despite her calling me back.

I was away from Clara for too long. It was almost like her body had a magnetic pull with mine.

As soon as I got into the car, I pulled her on top of my lap and buried my nose in her neck, inhaling her scent. My whole body immediately shivered with desire. She was going to be the death of me.

“Are you ok

ay?” She questioned softly.

“Never been better.
