Chapter 64 - The Entanglement of Three Men
I turned my head, refusing to look at Damon again, and let William take my hand.
The dull ache in my heart hit me once more, an ache not unlike the one caused by Eric's illness, and I didn't understand how it was an emotion that I only had when I was dealing with Damon.
William tightened his grip on my hand and I felt his body tremble.
The entire hallway almost froze in time, but I only took one step before I was grabbed by the other hand.
I froze in place and looked at William before looking back at Damon, I moved my arm that Damon had grabbed and Damon felt it and held on tighter.
William stopped too and turned around, anger flashing on his face, his arm hard to snatch me back.
At the same time Damon pushed harder and I was pulled in the middle, feeling the two forces tearing at my body.
"Both let go of me!" Finally I couldn't take it anymore and shouted, which caused the two men to let go of their grip on me.
And just a moment later, I was grabbed by Damon's arm again, and with one force, he pulled me straight into his arms.
"Damon, please let go of my fiancée." William's face turned very ugly when he saw the current situation, there was no longer any of his usual gentleness in him, his whole being was grumpy.
"You're not engaged, she's still single, and why are you saying she's your fiancée." Damon said as he gave William a contemptuous look.
After that, Damon didn't wait for my reaction, he carried me directly on his shoulders and went back to my room, while closing the door without mercy, shutting William directly outside the room and locking it at the same time.
Damon carried me and threw me straight onto the bed, I fell onto the bed for a moment of dizziness and quickly recovered, looking at Damon with mixed feelings inside.
Damon tugged at his shirt buttons as he walked toward me, his expression still telling me he was angry.
William, who was shut out, was banging desperately on the door to his room, I sat up to try and open the door for William, I had just stood up when Damon pushed me roughly down on the bed again.
"What exactly do you want to do?" I sat up in bed and stared into Damon's eyes, I wanted to know the reason for his anger, we had agreed not to interfere with each other's feelings.
And now it's clear that Damon isn't keeping our end of the bargain.
"To stop you from making the wrong decision." Damon said seriously as he looked at me, stopping what he was doing.
At this point, William's call at the door attracted the attention of a number of servants, and both Damon and I heard the noise outside.
"Selena seems to have fainted, and no matter how much I call, she doesn't respond." William's voice sounded very anxious and obviously worried about me.
The servants at the door were also all very anxious at William's words, tapping on the door of my room as if they were going to break in hard if I didn't open the door the next second.
For the first time, I realized that William could be so calm when he lied, as if it were true.
I looked at Damon in the room and sighed, shouting at the door, "I'm fine, I just want to be alone, William you go back first."
The people outside the door died after hearing my voice, and only William persisted in knocking on the door.
"Are you sure?" At this point William's voice was still calm, but I could hear the trembling hidden underneath this calmness.
I think this one really hurt William, and it made me feel guilty.
"I'm fine, I'll catch up with you later." I held my forehead, feeling my brain had gone into a ball of wool.
"OK, I'll meet you in the room." William finally gave in to me as well.
As soon as my words left my mouth, Damon pinned me straight down on the bed and pressed into me, his gaze deep, making it impossible for me to see what he was thinking.
"It's just the two of us now." Damon's ragged gasps were all too familiar to me after two weeks of intimate contact, and I knew exactly what Damon wanted to do next.
"Damon, I'm not in the mood right now." I reached out to block Damon's impending approach to my chest, twisting my face to the side to not look at him.
Damon reached out and squared my face and cupped my chin, not giving me a chance to turn my head.
"Because I stopped you from getting engaged to someone you don't like?" Damon narrowed his own eyes slightly, and from the glint that leaked out of the corner of them, more for danger had come through.
"You've got your ...... own," Damon cut me right off before I could finish my sentence.
"You have your fiancée, and I know you're going to say that again, now that Morgan is no longer my fiancée, satisfied?"
The dangerous aura from earlier had dissipated quite a bit, but Damon's face still didn't look good.
And I was in shock from what he'd brought me, unable to believe what Damon was saying... I'd only been asleep for two days, and all this change had happened since I'd woken up?
" I clearly saw Morgan and you kissing! " I finally couldn't help but blurt out the image I saw in Damon's bedroom that day.
Damon froze for a moment, followed by a raised eyebrow, "Little fox, I wasn't even home that day ...... damn it, you saw me kiss Morgan?"
He snorted, "It seems my double has done a lot of things he shouldn't have."
A stand-in?
Damon said it was his double who kissed Morgan, so the man I saw in the bedroom wasn't Damon and I misunderstood him?
My mood was like coming back down from the abyss to the ground all of a sudden.
Damon said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
I said hesitantly, "But then there's Eric ......"
"You don't have the money to pay for Eric's surgery, do you? Selena, do I look like a mean person to you?" Damon pressed his body towards me again, the side of his blade like face leaning on my shoulder, his tone full of helplessness.
I lay stiffly on my bed, looking at, not knowing what to say.
Every excuse I thought of was defused by Damon.
"About your brother's problem, I've already contacted one of the family hospitals, as long as you give your nod you can be transferred immediately, whether it's the mating or the cost of the surgery afterwards, you don't have to worry, I'll help you out with all of it."
Damon continued, and I listened to him say these words calmly, more moved than shocked.
He helped me out with all my problems without asking anything of me.
Tears slipped from the corners of my eyes once again, I was touched by all the things Damon had done for me, but The thing about Eric was so overwhelming that I simply didn't know if I was worth all the effort, and more resources, Damon had put into it.
After all, the difference between me and him is just too great.
"Can I refuse?" My voice was soft and rather bottomless.
Damon jerked his body up and looked deep into my eyes, "I'll give you two days to think about it and hopefully you'll be able to give me another answer, you need to know that not everyone gets this kind of treatment, not only for your sake, but for Eric's sake."
Damon reached out and wiped away my tears, and instead of his usual bravado, his eyes were so full of compassion and tenderness that I even had the illusion that I was there.
An illusion I'm afraid to confirm, as if he's in love with me.
