Chapter 20

Valerie's POV

I was fuming inside but Claire still stood at the door, clearly not surprised.

“Oh, you're siding him now, right? You'd rather raise your voice at me. Valerie, just because of the guy that came into your life few weeks ago! You don't even know anything about this guy's past.” Claire shouted.

“And you do? Are you the one that knows about his past? His past doesn't matter at this point. Even if it does, let it be my problem. Not yours, for Christ sake. Let me worry about the kind of person Damian is.”

“Claire, this is my cross to carry; my burden to bear. I don't know why you are trying to get involved so much in my life. I know you are my friend and you are trying to support me, which I appreciate, but I think you are doing too much.” I continued.

All the time I was speaking, Claire just fixed her eyes on me. Not saying a word.
