Demon

chapter 125

This chapter takes place 3 days later.

Also check out my page I'm going to be posting a rough draft of what the next book is about. It is a spin off/book 4 about Dante.

I'm probably going to have it as a spin off short story. As the book about Dante will occur at the same time as the next book so there will be overlaps. I just need to figure out the best way to right the books for the timeline which is dodgy already but I may even turn book 4 and 5 into one book yet.

Clara and Damon were at Damon's family home helping Alesandro. Alesandro was going to visit his parents in a few days. He and Sienna had briefly discussed it, although his children didn't need parental supervision anymore, Sienna was more than happy to help out.

She was currently doing a grocery shop whilst Alesandro started on making lunch.

Alesandro was yet to talk to Clara about the situation. He was at a loss on what to say.

But Clara had abandoned Damon who was currently making sure there was no trace of anything linking them to mafia. She had been helping him but decided to go see if Alesandro needed any help.

"Hi Clara, how are you doing" Alesandro asked.

"I'm okay" she lied.

Alesandro noticed but didn't want to press the subject.

"Well would you like to help me with the salad" Alesandro asked hoping to distract her.

"What" Clara was taken back. Salad.

"Yeah it was Damon's idea. He specifically asked we have salad"

Yes Damon had asked Alesandro for salad just to be petty and stir up some drama, he wanted to show her parents what a good salad actually tasted like.

And Clara knew this although her kind drifted back to what her parents said about putting on weight. She knew better than that. She knew Damon was being petty.

"I'm sorry if this is too much for you. I shouldn't be bringing my problems to you" Clara did feel guilty.

"Nonsense. What kind of man would I be if I didn't help out my children every now and then" Alesandro said.

Clara thought he meant Damon.

Alesandro was referring to Clara though. He considered her family now.

"Clara looks, I know it's hard and everything is going to turn to shit very quickly. I know from experience, family isn't always blood.  Just because you share the same DNA doesn't mean you have to tolerate their bullshit. They disowned you, had you kidnapped and god knows what else. I know this is hard for you but you don't need them . You have us now, we may not be blood but you're family "

Clara couldn't help but hug Alesandro. His words were serious. He cared.

And she needed that.

"And if Damon and I broke up?" She dared question. If they broke up, she would loose so much.

She realised in that moment her life involved Damon a little too much.

A job at Damon's company.
She lived with Damon, although she still rented her own place.

Her friends were all linked to Damon in some way.

His family who were so welcoming.

"I will make his life miserable. But regardless you'll always have a place in this family. If he banishes you from work, you can come work for me. If you want to get out of town and want nothing to do with us, I'll find you a job in any country you want" Alesandro replied.
