Damon stayed at Ambrose's house till late at night. He returned to his apartment a little before midnight. The woman already replied to his message. She said to meet up at the same place they did yesterday.

He fell into slumber not long after he got home. The next day, he was awoken by the heavy banging on his door. On opening the door, he saw a bespectacled middle-aged man. He was wearing a faded shirt and black shorts.

"Good mor-"

The man cut off Damon's words and rudely shoved the paper in his hand to him "Get your things out of here. This house, along with a few other ones in the street has been bought"

Damon drew his brows together and skimmed through the content on the paper. "This house belongs to me. It was my mother's before she passed away!"

The man waved his hands and shook his head "I don't care who left it with who. You have two days to vacate this place. The buyer plans to bulldoze the houses he bought and build something else on it"

"This house belongs to me!" The house was one of the few things he had in remembrance of his mom. After they relocated to City B, his mom went on several loans so she could get a house for them to live in. She barely even slept through the nights, she was always working so she'd had enough to pay back the loans

And now, he was being told he had to leave the house his mother bought with her hard-earned money. His grip on the paper was so tight that the paper started to tear. He gritted his teeth and tried to control his emotions. He asked the man " Who bought the house?"

"Baron Patel. He's not someone you can afford to offend. Don't cause trouble for yourself and just do as you're told" The man glanced at the paper that was already in ruins in Damon's hands "There's a lot of those. Don't think tearing it apart will help you with anything"

He then left the place.

Damon's anger almost reached its highest height. Baron was messing with his bottom lines, his mother and his girlfriend. He balled his fists so hard his knuckles almost turned white. There was nothing Damon could do in his current state

The paper was a legal document and even had the court's stamp on it. Baron kept stepping on him over and over because he knew there was nothing he could do about it. Things had to change

It was high time he was able to stand without staggering, and without being stepped on

He entered the bathroom and took his bath. It was almost time for him to meet up with the woman. He took a cab. While on his way to the place, he got a message from his janitorial boss stating for him to come to work in fifteen minutes' time or else he would get fired

Damon threw his phone into his pocket from frustration. He had forgotten he had to go to work

He got to where he was going in a jiffy. He saw the same red Tesla from yesterday. He went to the car and entered it. Just like the previous day, she was dressed eloquently and also had her shades on

" You've come to a realization of how great my offer is, you gave your response after a few hours" She spread her lips into a smile " Let's go somewhere private and talk, shall we?"

Damon replied "Mhm" Then the car drove away and stopped at a high-end hotel with a white intricate exterior design

The woman led him to a private suite on the top floor. The staffs bowed in acknowledgement as she walked by.

" Once you agree, you won't be able to get back out. Have you thought this through properly?" After they've settled in the suite, the woman asked

Damon replied after a few seconds with a nod "Yes, I have. What do I have to know and when do I start?"

The woman smiled broader and gently tapped her black purse "Good!" She tossed a file to him "Everything in this file contains everything you need to know"

Damon took the file and skimmed through it. The person he was going to be an impostor for is Nathan Snyder, the only successor of Mr and Mrs Snyder. The report mentioned that he went missing on his twelfth birthday and hadn't been found since then. After a few years of his disappearance and investigation, the authorities pronounced him dead

A few years after his disappearance, his father and mother died in a car accident, leaving only his grandfather who eventually fell ill

Mr and Mrs Snyder were billionaires, having lots of companies and properties. They were among the richest and most powerful families in the world

News of Oliver Snyder, Nathan's grandfather's illness was suppressed and kept from the netizens. Only family and close relatives knew of it. News of Nathan's disappearance and his parents' death couldn't be suppressed no matter how much Oliver tried, things eventually got out of hand

With Oliver's illness, all Mr and Mrs Snyder had was handed to Jeremy, Mr Snyder's brother, to manage.

Damon quickly read through the most part "Will I fit into Nathan's place without anyone getting suspicious?"

" Open the last page of the file and see what's in it" The woman replied

Damon went to the last page and was stunned beyond words at what he saw.

"That's Nathan on the day of his twelfth birthday, right before he went missing" The woman said

Apart from the difference in age and maturity, Damon looked identical to young Nathan. If he didn't know better, he'd have thought he was the one. But he knew it was impossible. He had memories of all his years with his mother and can even remember how his mother had made a butter cake for his twelfth birthday

The woman looked at Damon as he read the content of the file. She had been on his tail for a few months. She unintentionally caught sight of him one day while she was attending a meeting and was dumbstruck at the resemblance of him to Nathan

She had her suspicions at first, thinking that he might have been Nathan. However, after a few days of digging all the information about him, she found out he was just an ordinary poor boy. Plus, if he was indeed Nathan, he would have found his way back to the Snyder's mansion. After all, Nathan was arrogant and instructive even as a child. He would always get his way, no matter the cost

It wasn't long before a thought of using him as Nathan's clone popped into her head. She strategized the thought into a plan. She had to settle things on her side and make sure everything was in order before she approached Damon

It was after everything was in place that she approached Damon

" What do I tell the people? Where will I say I've been all these years?" Damon asked as he closed the file

"Everything you need to know is in the file. Go through it thoroughly" She tossed a paper to him and said "Place your signature at the bottom left corner"

It was a paper of agreement. He carefully read the content before he signed the paper. The right corner already had the woman's signature on it. Just like that, the two got into a deal

At that moment, Damon's phone rang. His phone was on the table, so, the woman could see who the caller was. It read "Darling"

Damon excused himself to receive the call and he got back in less than a minute

"No one can know about this. Most especially your darling" She took a sip of her tea and crossed her leg over the other.

" I trust her. She wouldn't expose this to anyone" Damon replied. Ambrose was the main reason he agreed to do such a dangerous thing in the first place. If he had to keep something like that from her, then it was better he quit

" The more people that know about this, the more risky it will be. Cut off all ties with her" the woman replied without a hint of emotion

" I just told you, she's-"

His sentence was cut off by the woman's heavy tone " You're not getting something right here, I'm the boss and you're my worker. You have to do as I say" She took a slight pause before she slightly titled her head and said " Nathan"
