As their lips met, the world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the passion of the moment. As they kissed, Damon felt like he was drowning in the depths of Fernanda's eyes. He couldn't get enough of her, and she seemed to feel the same way. They stood there for what felt like hours, lost in the moment, their lips locked in a passionate embrace.
Finally, they broke apart, gasping for air. Fernanda's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes sparkled with desire. Damon knew he had to have her and he knew he couldn't wait. "I want you," he whispered, his voice hoarse with emotion.
Fernanda smiled, her lips curling up in a sly smile. "I want you too," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. They found themselves at small cottage on the outskirts of the village. They didn't speak, they just kissed and touched, their bodies speaking a language all their own.
As they made love, Damon knew he had found his soulmate. He had never felt this way about anyone before, and he knew he never would again. But as they lay there, wrapped in each other's arms, Damon knew he had to tell her the truth. He was betrothed to another, and he knew it wouldn't be easy to get out of it.
"Fernanda," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "I have something to tell you." Fernanda looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What is it?" she asked, her voice soft.Damon took a deep breath before speaking. "I'm betrothed to another," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Fernanda's eyes widened in shock, and she sat up, pulling away from him. "What?" she exclaimed, her voice loud.
Fernanda's face was a mix of emotions - shock, anger, and hurt. "You're betrothed to another?" she repeated, her voice trembling. "Why didn't you tell me?" Damon sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. "I was going to, but I didn't know how. And then I met you, and...I couldn't help how I felt."
Fernanda looked away, trying to process this new information. "Who is she?" she asked finally, her voice cold. Damon hesitated before answering. "Samantha, the daughter of a wealthy merchant. It's an arranged marriage, one that will secure my family's fortune."
Fernanda's eyes flashed with anger. "So, you're telling me that you're engaged to someone else, but you're in love with me?" Damon nodded, feeling a lump form in his throat. "I know it sounds crazy, but I couldn't help how I feel. I love you, Fernanda." Fernanda stood up, her eyes blazing with tears. "I don't know if I can trust you m not interested, in being the other woman," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Damon knew he had hurt her, and he didn't blame her for feeling that way. He stood up, taking her hand in his. "I know I don't deserve you, but please, give me another chance. I'll do anything to make it right."
Fernanda nodded, a small smile on her face. "I'll need to think about what to do next," she said. "But know I love you and I want to be with you." Damon's heart soared as he heard her words. He knew that he had a long road ahead of him, but he was willing to do whatever it took to be with Fernanda
He knew he had hurt her, but he also knew that she felt the same way."I understand," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "Take all the time you need. I'll wait for you, no matter what."
............................................................................................................
Over the next few days, Damon and Fernanda barely spoke, but the tension between them was palpable. Damon knew that Fernanda was thinking about their situation, and he couldn't blame her. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Fernanda came to him with a determined look on her face.
"I've made a decision," she said, her voice firm. "I want to be with you, Damon. But we need to end your betrothal first." Damon's heart leapt with joy. "I'll do it," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I'll end it today." Fernanda smiled, a fierce glint in her eye. "Good," she said. "And with that, Damon set out to change his fate, no matter what obstacles lay ahead.
Damon took a deep breath as he approached Samantha's chambers. He knew this wouldn't be an easy conversation, but he was determined to end the betrothal once and for all.
Samantha looked up from her needlework as he entered, a hint of a smile on her face. "Damon, dear, what brings you here?" Damon cleared his throat, his heart racing. "Samantha, we need to talk."
Samantha's expression faltered, and she set aside her needlework. "What is it, Damon?" Damon took another deep breath before speaking. "I know we're betrothed, but...I don't feel the same way. I've met someone else and I want to be with her."
Samantha's face paled, and she looked away, trying to compose herself. "I see," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. Damon felt a pang of guilt, but he knew he had to be honest. "I'm sorry, Samantha. I know this isn't easy, but I hope you can understand."
*Damon imagination*
Samantha glared at him, her eyes blazing with anger. "You're sorry? You're sorry for breaking our engagement and you about humiliating me in front of the entire Mystic Shadow? I've been told I'd be your wife since I was five years old. I've spent my whole life dreaming, training, and preparing to be your wife. It's been my sole objective and futuristic goal. And you telling me now it was all for nothing - just because of some girl you've just met?"
Damon held up his hands, trying to placate her. "Samantha, please—"
But she cut him off, her voice rising. "No, Damon! You've made your choice. Now you must face the consequences you just made your worst enemy Detective Damon."
And with that, she stormed out of the room, leaving Damon feeling anxious and uncertain about what lay ahead
*Damon faces reality *
"I understand, Damon. I don't want to force you into a marriage you do not want anymore." Samantha spoked He nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards her. "Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your understanding."
Samantha smiled wryly. "But now, we have to face the music. How will you tell your parents and my parents?" Damon rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "I do not know. They're going to be furious."
Samantha stood up, her expression determined. "Let's face them together. We'll tell them the truth - that we've grown apart and want different things in life." Damon nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards her. "Thank you, Samantha. Let's do it." Together, they walked to Damon's parents' chambers, their hearts heavy with anticipation. Damon took a deep breath, preparing himself for the storm that was to come.
