Chapter 95
-CLARA-
I couldn’t help tapping my feet anxiously as we waited for the little boy’s mother to show up. I was so nervous, I didn’t know what to expect or how I was going to react.
*Madam Clara, we can’t stay here any longer. It’s getting dark and there’s still no sign of her” Steven pointed out but I didn’t want to leave, not yet, I had a feeling she was going to show up and I just wanted to ask her why, why she had felt the need to abandon her child.
I stared down at the little boy who was sleeping in my chest with a smile then began caressing his back. Gwen and his nanny had been the one taking care of him while I was busy with Damon. I hadn’t even spent enough time with him and now, he might leave me.
The sun had already begun to set and we were just about to leave when I heard someone call my name from behind.
“Madam Donovan, please wait” I turned to the voice and saw the little boy’s mother running towards me.
il to her k
As soon as she saw the boy in my arms, she started crying immediately and even fell to deserve my sympathy after what she did to her son..
knees. I wanted to go help her up but she didn’t
She stood up some seconds later and sat down on the bench with me. We stayed silent for a while and I could see her staring at the little boy fondly. I didn’t want to admit it but she did have that motherly look in her eyes.
“What’s his name?” Was t
the first question I asked and she reluctantly teared her eyes away from the boy and turned to me.
“Levi, he’s name is Levi” She murmured and I slowly nodded.
“Will you explain why you tried to kill your son? Why did you abandon him in the river?” I questioned, heading straight to the point and she shook her head frantically.
“It wasn’t me, I would never do that. I love my yson” She uttered and I scoffed.
“I saw you leaving…”
“Yes I admit you saw me but that was my other personality, Jane. I have dissociative identity disorder. Jane doesn’t like has and that’s why I try my best to not be around my son when I know I’m about to switch but that day at the park was out of the blue. It just my son, she never
happened and I couldn’t fight it. After I regained my senses, I tried finding him and actually thought I had killed my son…” She paused as she cried silently and my heart instantly broke for her,
“You have Madam Donovan to thank for that. She risked her life trying to save your son” Steven uttered and I turned to him with a glare.
it wasn’t her fault she had DID. If anything, I felt sorry for her because she knew she wasn’t always safe with her son and that has to be the worst thing that can happen to a mother.
“Thank you, Madam Donovan. If Beta Luca hadn’t reached out to me and told me everything, I would have lived with the guilt of knowing! had killed my only son unknowingly. I cannot thank you enough” She murmured and I pursed my lips before staring down at Levi and a small smile appeared on my lips.
“I would do it again in a heartbeat. You have a brilliant son” I pointed out and she chuckled lightly.
“He takes after his father” She murmured and I smiled slightly.
“His father is still in the picture?” I questioned and she shook her head.
“No, my mate died months ago” She told me and I nodded slowly then frowned. So Levi was all she had as a reminder of her mate?i

couldn’t take that away from her.
“As long as you have DID, you know he’s not safe with you right?” I questioned softly and she nodded.
“I’m going to go get the help I need while he’ll be staying with his grandparents in the meantime” She uttered and I frowned. She had
thought it all out huh?
“Oh, well then” I murmured then forced a smile on my face.
“You can take him then I murmured and she wasted no time in taking the little boy from my arms but as soon as she carried him, he woke up and the minute he saw her face, he began to laugh and I could have sworn his eyes had stars in them.
He recognized his mother instantly and in that moment, she wished she was a kid that could easily forgive and forget then maybe she would forget about her miscarriage and Levi.
I wasted no time in leaving there after giving her everything I had bought for Levi. We got into the car and Steven immediately drove off.
The car ride home was quiet, no one dared to speak. I could feel Gwen’s worried gaze at the back of my neck but I didn’t turn to her because I was afraid if I saw the pity on their faces, I wouldn’t be able to hold it back anymore and bawl my eyes out in this car.
As soon as we got back to the mansion, I got out of the car and ran in, straight to our room then plopped on the bed and cried my eyes out till I couldn’t cry anymore.
I tried to call Dahlia and tell her about everything so she would try calming me down but I didn’t want to bother her so I opted for sleeping since my body felt weak after all the crying
Later during the night, I felt the bed dip and I didn’t need to be told twice to know it was Damon.
He got into bed, wrapping his arms around my waist and placing a kiss
“You’re Late” i murmured and he sighed.
placing a kiss on my cheek.
“I’m sorry, I… Before he could complete his sentence, I turned around in his arms and began cryi
ng on his chest.
“She took him, Damon. He’s gone…
