Dallen Haves was not too far from city B, so it took Damon less than an hour to arrive there. He drove through the familiar streets and a wave of memories came crashing on him The coconut trees, palm trees and the river were the first things that welcomed people to Dallen Haves. The colour symphony that came from the flowery plants behind the palm trees carried a fresh scent Coupled with the cool morning breeze, there was a calm atmosphere that made anyone feel at home. Dallen Haves was a small town, slightly bigger than a village and smaller than a city. It wasn't developed, thus the roads were bumpy. Damon drove slowly but halted when he got to a particular palm tree. There were two small handprints on it He stared at the handprints as his mind took him back to when he was fifteen. Ambrose was only twelve that time. It was very late at night when they both snuck out of their houses. Most times, it was always Ambrose that instigated Damon in doing such things Ambrose first snuck
While on their way back to City B, Damon asked Orlando “Why did you go away after my parents passed away? Did something happen? Or were you running away from something?”Orlando wiggled himself on the chair to find a comfortable spot before he replied “You're right, your parents’ deaths was someone's intention. That day, when master and madam were going to meet that person, master instructed me to follow him from a distance, just in case anything was needed. Two cars zoomed to block master's car in the front and then a set of people got down from that car and went to master's car”Orlando took a pause to try to gather his words “I couldn't properly see what happened after because a set of people surrounded both cars. I couldn't see through them. But, I do know that, immediately after those people left, master and madams car blew up”Damon gritted his teeth as he drove “Can you recognise any of the people you saw there?”“Not really. They were all wearing sunglasses. After master and m
“I have work to attend to. Go on your own” Damon harshly rejected her. Even Lucas and Kelvin felt embarrassed for her. “But we haven't gone out together in a while” She held his hand and complained “I want to spend time with you”Damon glanced at her before he nodded rigidly. After all, he had a lot on his plate already and didn't want Mrs Evans to kidnap Ambrose again or do anything of that sortElla's smile spread as she said to him “Go up and get ready. I'll wait for you here”Damon went up the stairs while Ella dropped her bag on the couch and went to the kitchen The maids bowed their heads when they saw her. Margaret greeted her “Miss Ella, what are you doing here? You can get yourself dirty”Ella took an apron behind the door and draped it over her neck “I want to make breakfast for Nathan”“That's very nice of you. But, you don't have to. That's our job and that's what we're here for” Margaret replied nicely Ella wrinkled her nose and glared at her “I said I want to do this.
Ella didn't bother Damon again till they got to her shoot location. She grabbed onto his hand and entered the studio “Miss Ella, splendid morning” Freya then turned to Damon and almost popped her eyes out. Was that Nathan Snyder? He looked even better than in the photos she had seen “G–Good morning, Mr Nathan”Ella noticed how Freya was looking at Damon. She moved her out of the way and proceeded to go into the makeup room. When the director of the shoot saw her, he ran to her to welcome her “You're here! Good, good. The makeup and hair stylist is waiting for you in the dressing room” The director then glanced at Damon. His reaction was worse than Freya’sHis mouth hung open as he pointed at him “M-Mr N–Nathan, you're here as well. What are you doing here?”“Close your mouth” Ella said to him “He's here to accompany me for my shoot” Ella took his hand and continued walking Freya ran to their front and directed them to the waiting room. The waiting room was neatly organised, without
“What do you think about the shoot?” She asked as she stuffed her things to Freya “Good” Damon replied. Just then, a white car zoomed in and halted in front of Damon “I got someone to bring your car over. You can use it to return home. I have somewhere to be”Although dissatisfied, Ella had no choice but to part with him. She turned to Freya and said “Go inside the car and wait for me”After Freya left, Ella stood on her toes and stole a kiss from Damon. She didn't even wait to see what his expression was before she scurried into the car Damon's brows pulled together as he wiped the spot on his lips where she kissed The paparazzi from earlier was still lurking around that area. His eyes were glued on the entrance of the studio, waiting for when Damon and Ella would come out There were photos of Ella all over the Internet, but there were minimal photos of Damon and even fewer ones of both of them together The paparazzi had his camera in place when he saw Damon outside and was luck
“Are you tired of this job? Don't you know who they are? Mr Nathan is the owner of this hotel, you fool!”One of the men blasted The man who spoke up had been working in Nans Hotel since the day Charles established the hotel. He was the first set of workers. After the news of Charles's death broke, the manager, Mr Wilson was the one that had been running the hotel. Oliver put him in that position It was not a secret to everyone in the hotel that the receptionist and the manager were having an affair. This made the receptionist grow wings and made her feel superior to everyone else “You really expect me to believe that? Even though Nathan Snyder is a great and renowned man, this is not a place for him to flaunt your greatness” The receptionist rolled her eyes and played with her fingers She continued “Everyone is aware that Mr Charles Snyder was the owner of this hotel” Her eyes widened when she realised what was happening “Oh my God. Nathan Snyder, Charles Snyder. He is your father

“Son of a gun! These people mean business”Orlando reached for his back pocket and brought out a gun. He pulled down the window at his side, poked his head out and shot at the cars Lucas and Kelvin were also retaliating. In the blink of an eye, the street turned into a wae zone with sounds of gunshots erupting everywhere It was obvious that everyone there were all top mercenaries. The way they launched, attacked and defended were skillful About five more cars zoomed in from behind. But they weren't for the enemy, Gary and Wonker had called for backup from homeA bullet grazed through Orlando’s shoulder. He gripped the injured part and sat back on the chair. A car pulled up from behind them. Lucas yelled “Stephen, follow us”Stephen followed Lucas's car until they had escaped from the shooting raid. As they left, Damon turned back to see the chaos that was going on. They were an exchange of bullets and none of thes vehicles were whole again. They all sustained one hit or the other
