Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 150

Chapter 150 I’ll Force Myself Inside If I Have To

The next day, Clarissa felt a lot better.

“Clary, you have to make it up to Damien, okay? Fate ties you two together, so you have to cherish it,”

Theresa said while ladling some porridge into Clarissa’s bowl.

“Fate? Seriously, Mom?” When Clarissa heard the word ‘fate’, she couldn’t help but make a sarcastic

remark. In the first place, the reason she was married to him was because of a mistake.

Theresa replied, “Don’t you love your husband? If you do, then stop complaining and listen to me.”

“Okay.” Clarissa compromised.

Deep down, she knew her marriage with Damien wouldn’t last.

“Oh, right, I just remembered. I got a cross for you yesterday. I’ve already given it to Damien. Don’t

forget to ask him for it. You can take the opportunity to talk to him too,” Theresa continued, “You can’t

expect Damien to put in 100% effort in maintaining your marriage. Love goes both ways, so you’ll have

to put in the effort too. That’s how you build a happy family together.”

“Is that how you and dad did it?” Clarissa asked deliberately.

Theresa’s eyes dimmed the moment she heard that.

All of a sudden, Clarissa knew she had said something wrong.

“Clarissa, do you have plans for the Easter holiday with Damien?” Theresa asked carefully.

She wouldn’t want to intrude on the couple’s plans.novelbin

“I don’t think so. Why?”

“If that’s the case, can you go back to Pentatone County with me?”

Clarissa didn’t reply to her mother’s question, because she didn’t want to go there. However, she knew

Theresa would force her to go no matter what. So, she had no choice but to agree.

Her grandmother’s place was in Pentatone County.

Her grandmother lived with Uncle Peter and Aunt Cindy. Uncle Peter worked as a bus driver, while

Aunt Cindy was a stay-at-home wife. When Clarissa needed money for Theresa’s medical expenses,

Cindy refused to help her. Cindy’s excuse was that her family didn’t have enough savings, so Clarissa

should ask other people for help.

That was the last time Clarissa ever contacted them again.

Although she missed her bed-ridden grandmother dearly, Clarissa knew Cindy wouldn’t welcome her

like she used to

Throughout these three years, Clarissa had never gone to Pentatone County to visit her grandmother.

Clarissa also had a cousin named Connie, who was the same age as her and loved to compete with

everything she did.

Every time they met, Connie would brag about her achievements on purpose.

Even though Connie was satisfied that she got 99% on her exam, she would go to the extent of tearing

Clarissa’s exam papers when she realized that Clarissa got 100%. Clarissa remembered that she had

a floral one-piece dress, which was also destroyed by Connie out of jealousy. Most of the time, she

wasn’t even being discreet about being a bully. Well, Clarissa figured that Connie enjoyed bathing in a

sense of

superiority

Everything that Clarissa didn’t have, Connie would get just to spite her. As for the things that Clarissa

had. Connie would make sure she was even better at it.

When they were teenagers, Clarissa reached the height of 168 cm while Connie still remained at 163

cm Looking at Clarissa’s perfect figure and face, Connie couldn’t help but writhe in envy.

After Clarissa cut off contact with her uncle’s family, she never had to endure Connie’s petty behavior

anymore.

“Mrs. Cole asked for a three-day leave during the holidays. Why don’t you help me out?” Theresa

asked.

“Okay, then. I’ll inform Damien about it. We’ll drive there together,” Clarissa promised.

If they were to board the bus, Theresa would’ve doubted Clarissa’s relationship with Damien

“I don’t want to trouble him too much,” Theresa said worriedly.

Clarissa chuckled. “What do you mean by that? He’s your son-in-law!”

Theresa sighed.

It got Clarissa thinking, I’ll have to talk to Damien about this after work.’

After she arrived at the company, Clarissa sent a Whatsapp message to Damien.

Clarissa: (Where’s the cross my mom gave to you? I’ll take it from you later.)

Damien: (When are you going to apologize to me?]

Clarissa thought about what her mother told her and swallowed her pride instantly.

Clarissa: [Honey, I’m so sorry for not opening the door for you yesterday. I was in a bad mood

yesterday, but it wasn’t because of you. I’ll never lock my door on you ever again.)

Damien: (You better. I’ll force myself inside if I have to.]

At first, Clarissa didn’t think too much about his words.

The more she looked at it, the more flirtatious it sounded. After all, Damien always liked playing around

with his words.

Their messages had always been flirty, but it just wasn’t too obvious.

Damien: (The cross is in my briefcase. You can take it by yourself.]

Clarissa: (Aren’t you inside your office?)

Damien: [I’m in a meeting right now.)

He didn’t give her a whole lot of details.

So, she went to his office.

The moment she went inside, she started her search for his bag. Normally, he would put it inside the

cabinet in front of his desk.

She turned to his desk.

All of a sudden, his laptop rang a few times, indicating a few messages. It piqued her curiosity. ‘What

was he doing just now?‘

She found his bag and took out the cross.

Just before she left, a few pictures caught her attention.

They were explicit pictures of Joseph and Nicole!

What shocked her even more was the fact that Luke was the one who sent those pictures to him

She thought, ‘Doesn’t Damien hate Luke a lot? Why is Luke contacting him through Whatsapp?

After Luke sent those pictures, what came after was a few more messages.

Luke: (Damien, I’ve done what you wanted me to do.)

Upon seeing that, Clarissa was petrified.

It turned out Luke was the one behind this, not Nicole!

All this while, Damien was using Luke to do all his evil deeds!

Luke had always been a man without principles, a person who would do anything for money. He

must’ve been listening to everything Damien said after Damien gifted Luke that house!

It dawned upon her that Damien had bribed Luke into heeding his commands the time Luke was

causing a scene at his company. Instead of making an enemy, Damien decided to make Luke his

subordinate.

Fear reverberated through Clarissa’s body. She couldn’t believe Damien had so many tricks up his

sleeves.

Tears streamed down her face as she stood rooted to the ground.

Overwhelmed with guilt, she realized it was her who had caused Joseph’s downfall.
