Chapter 116
-CLARA
I stared at Dimitri with wide eyes as I couldn’t believe what he had just said.
“How exactly is she the cause of your mother’s sickness? I don’t understand that” I voiced out and he sighed.
“I didn’t understand it at first so I got you. Aurora is very good with herbs and with those herbs, she was able to concoct a parasite which is practically killing my mother” He revealed and gasped.
“Wait what? Why?” I questioned and he turned to me with a sad smile.
“Because she’s a psychopath who wants to always remain relevant in Damon’s life. At that point in time, Damon was getting bored of her so he hardly spent time with her which got her angry so she had to think of a way to remain in his life and what better way than to make a sickness only she can treat? All the doctors and healers didn’t know what was wrong and therefore couldn’t help. She was the only one that could treat her… that is till you came along. You must really be special, Clara” He murmured with a smile and I sighed.
“I won’t say I’m special but I’m glad I was able to treat your mother. She must have timed it and knew the parasite was going to flare up anytime soon and wanted to use that medium to come back into Damon’s life” I pieced two and two together and Dimitri nodded which meant I was right.
“Yes, I believe that was her plan as well” He uttered and I sighed.
“Why didn’t you tell anyone immediately you found out? That would have saved us from a lot of trouble” I said and he sighed.
“I was shunned by Damon and no one wanted to get on his bad side, not even our parents, so did you really think they would believe me? If you didn’t know how vile Aurora was, you wouldn’t have believed me as well. Like I said she was an angel to everyone and my parents loved her, they still do. No one would have believed me” He told me and I stared at him for a while.
“You’re lying. That’s not the only reason you didn’t tell on her You were in love with her so you didn’t want her getting punished, am I right?” I questioned and he chuckled before turning to me. I could see the amusement in his eyes.
“Well, you keep surprising me buttercup. I didn’t expect you to be so sharp” He said and I didn’t know if I should take that as an insult or not.
“So I’m right?” I questioned and he nodded.
“The only reason I found out it was Aurora was because she never did her dirty work alone. She had given the herbs to my mother’s personal maid who had fed it to my mother out of fear Aurora has threatened her whole family and Aurora had enough power to carry out her threat so anyone in their right mind would be scared but the girl couldn’t push aside the guilt and decided to tell me since I was already shunned anyway. She gave me enough evidence and said she would testify against Aurora even though that would cost her life. I just had to promise to protect her family. I know it was foolish of me but I didn’t want Aurora to be killed. If Damon found out, he would have killed her on the spot so I went to Aurora and told her all that I knew and that I had proof then I gave her an ultimatum. She had to leave the pack and my brother’s life if she wanted to be spared and she immediately agreed but only if I followed her and as a foolish love sick puppy that I was, I was willing to follow her. What I didn’t know what that she went behind my back and told Damon that she was leaving because I tried raping her again so Damon banished me after she left and left and went to find her but we never got together. She did everything in her power to avoid me as much as she could but I kept a close eye on her just in case. If I had known she was coming here, I would have stopped her before she showed her face to Damon” He informed me and I sat down there for a while trying to take everything in.
“Luckily, my father and Delilah reached out to me because my mother wanted to see me and I used that medium to get here. I knew Damon was going to be mad but i can let Aurora hurt anyone again especially you” He added then turned to
me.

“Don’t worry, I can handle myself, She can’t hurt me I replied and he chuckled
For some reason, I don’t donkt fr. You have got to have some fire in you for my brother to be so in love with you vid and my cheeks immediatly reach up
“We should tell someone a leat Via box Delléé Luca?” questioned and he shook his head
1 don’t want Delilah yating invoked and if Laca knows, it will definitely end up reaching Damon and I don’t want t I’m already the black sheep and I don’t mind remaining one. Atora is afraid of me because the thinks I still have the evidence but I don’t. I lost most of them and that girl has killed herself. Now I just have to find new evidence” He mutter as he stood up from the bench.
T help your I told him as I stood up as well.
“No Delilah, I don’t want you getting hurt or tangled in this mess” He said to me and I shrugged.
“Well I’m already involved. She’s targeting my man and i will not let her near him so I’m going to help you so I can rid of her quickly” I told him and frowned when he stared at mea little too long,
“What Is there something on my face?” I questioned as 1 rubbed my palm across my cheek. He willed then shook h bead
“No, I’m just glad my brother met you” He commented and my cheeks grew hot again
“Aurora is still in the hospital right?” I questioned and he nodded slightly.
“Yeah, why?” He questioned and I smirked.
“I might have a plan but first, do you still love her?” 1 questioned and he paused before a smirk appeared on his face. “She is crazy but I never said I liked my girls sane”.
