Arrested

The policeman looked at the picture in his hand and then at Damon. His brows drew slightly together as he nodded to the two other policemen "He's the one. Arrest him" He then turned to Damon " You're under arrest for public assault, threats and damage of properties"

"I did nothing wrong. If anyone should be getting arrested, it's him. He was trying to force himself on a helpless lady" Damon gritted his teeth but didn't stop the police officers from putting handcuffs on him

Right at that moment, Baron walked into the restaurant, looking as though a truck had run him over.

"Baron! Tell them the truth. Tell the officers that he was standing up for me and beat you up because you were trying to take advantage of me" Ambrose said to Baron

Baron ignored her and turned to the officers. He confirmed Damon's identity and told the authorities to take him away

No amount of pleading and persuasion from Ambrose made the police officers pay her heed. The commotion already gathered the attention of the people in the restaurant.

Looking at Baron's dishevelled state and how terribly his injuries were looking, they couldn't help but feel sorry for him and curse Damon

Before he left the restaurant, Damon could see from the corner of his eyes as Baron gave him a sly smirk

With no other choice, Ambrose ran to Damon and told him to hold an and that she would find a way to get him out of there

Just like that, Damon got arrested. When they got to the police station, the officers mercilessly threw Damon into the cell like he was a piece of rag.

"There are a few families you shouldn't mess with. The Patel family is one of them. If you dare to offend someone from the Patel family, you're asking for trouble. Be prepared to spend a long time in there" The officer locked his cell and went to meet the other officers

Damon sat on the ground and clasped his hands across his knees. Baron Patel. Damon had heard a little about him from his colleagues at work and on the streets

He was an infamous second son of the Patel family. Rumour had it that his family didn't take him seriously because of his rebellious behaviour. All he ever did was squander money and pick up girls.

It wasn't the first time Baron showed his intention towards Ambrose. But, it was the first time he tried to get so close to her

Damon was starting to think he was destined for misfortune. His life was a line of tragedy. And nothing good was ever borne of him, except Ambrose. If she stayed with him, wouldn't she only be suffering?

Perhaps Baron was right. Maybe he had been selfish all along for having Ambrose stay by his side. She has the purest soul and should be pampered. Not having to go through struggles over and over again. Perhaps it would be better for him to let her go.

As he was deep in his thoughts, he saw the card the woman gave him next to where he was sitting. It must have fallen off his pocket when he bent to sit down. He picked up the card and stared at the phone number on it

If he accepted the offer, maybe he would be able to bail himself out and give Ambrose a proper life. Perhaps God has sent an answer to his prayers and he was pushing the answer away.

If he had enough money, he wouldn't have been treated so poorly.

The sound of metal shaking snapped Damon back to reality. He immediately slid the card down his pocket and stood up. Ambrose held his face through the metal door and said as softly as she could "You'll get out of here, I promise. I won't let you spend a night behind bars. I'll be right back, let me go and have a talk with the officers"

She fled off before Damon could respond.

"How much is needed to bail him out? Damon Brooks" Ambrose said to the first officer she saw

"Damon Brook's case isn't up for bail" The officer replied aloofly

"What? Why isn't his case up for bail? It's just a few beatings, he didn't fvcking send anyone six feet below the earth. Why do you have to take things this seriously? The person who should be in jail is roaming around while the innocent is locked behind bars. Who let all of you get a police officer's title?" Ambrose glared and erupted

" Miss, I'll suggest you watch your words. If you don't take caution, I'll put you behind bars. You should have warned your boyfriend before he went on and offended someone he couldn't afford to "

Ambrose calmed herself down. The last thing she would want to know was to cause more problems for Damon." Is there anything that can be done to get him out of there? "

" Baron gave a condition. He said if Damon can kneel in front of him and apologise, he will let him go" The police officer said

Before Ambrose could reply, the police station's landline rang. The officer's face immediately fell after he collected the call. He ended the call and went to whisper something to his colleagues. Their expression instantly tuned grace

They ran to the cell and opened the metal door of the cell Damon was in

"Damon Brooks, you're free to go" The man's voice slightly trembled as he said "We apologise for taking you captive. We made a mistake, you aren't the one we were sent to arrest. Please, don't be annoyed" The officer gave a slight bow, along with the other officers

Both Damon and Ambrose were confused. Earlier, they all treated Damom poorly and acted arrogantly to him. Their attitude seemed to change after the phonecall

Perhaps, Baron's parents heard of what happened and demanded to set them free. After all, his parents knew what kind of a person Baron is

But, it was only Ambrose who thought this way. Damon's line of thought trailed to the woman from earlier. It was evident that she was a powerful woman and not just a common residence.

He and Ambrose went outside the station. He pulled her into a hug and said "I'm sorry this had to happen on the night of your birthday"

She lightly patted his back "It's alright. I'm glad you're okay. That's more than I can ever wish for, to have you safely by my side. Besides, it's not your fault that blockhead did what he did"

He looked into her eyes and then bent his head to stare at their clasped hands "Why must you be so understanding? What good have I done in my past life to have met someone like you?"

She puffed her cheeks and dramatically raised her shoulders" But of course. I'm the best fit for you, no other girl will look good by your side " She then chuckled. She grabbed his hands and said happily" Now, let's go and continue our celebration"

They held their hands as they strolled the streets of City B. The night sky was up and stars had already begun to assemble on it. Soon enough, they got to Ambrose's house. They watched a N*****x movie as they ate the doughnut they bought on the way

Damon occasionally glanced at Ambrose in his arms from time to time. The dimples at both sides of her face would showed as she laughed. He wasn't quite sure what the movie was about, all his attention was on Ambrose instead

He secretly slid his phone out of his pocket and sent a message " I accept your offer. Where do we meet?"
