Who are you to him?

While on his way back to the mansion, Damon was planning out the things he had to do. His mind was clogged with different things, he wasn't concentrated on his driving and almost hit someone. He immediately got out of his car to take a look at the person he almost hit

To his surprise, it was Ambrose. Ambrose was shocked to see him as well, on top of that, he came out of a luxurious car. If there was someone sitting at the back seat, she would have thought he was driving someone somewhere, since it was one of his part-time jobs

But there was no one else in the car. Ambrose had been worried sick about him for the past few days. There were clear visible eyebags under her eyes, an aftermath of sleepless nights. All of a sudden, she finds him with a luxurious car

Damon heaved a deep sigh and told Ambrose to get into the car.

Ambrose packed her stuffs that had fallen to the floor due to the shock from almost getting hit. She wasn't particularly sure how Damon got a hold of such car, but she knew he would never do anything to hurt her, so she entered the car obediently

The air in the car was a still silence with neither Damon nor Ambrose saying anything. After a few seconds passed by, Damon started the car to find a quiet place suitable for the conversation they wanted to have

" Two days, Damon. You have been away for two days and didn't think it important to tell me where you went. You rejected my calls before finally blocking my number. Now, I see you with this car. What's happening here?" After they found a quiet place, Ambrose folded her arms across her chest and broke the silence.

" I'm so-" Damon's apology was cut short by Ambrose.

She turned sharply to look at him" No, you're not sorry, Damon. If we hadn't bumped into each other, you would have continued ignoring me. What? You plan to toss me away now you've gotten a car for yourself "Ambrose hit the headrest of her sit " Where did you get this from anyway? And where did you move out to? Have you suddenly grown tired of me? You-?

Damon's lips landed on hers, causing her to swallow the rest of her words. As they kissed, Damon could feel the saltiness of her tears.

He understood why she was angry. He would have been too. After all, the only solace they had were each other. She would have thought of different several things during the time that he was away

Damon didn't stop what he was doing. It was a slow kiss, as though he was trying to assure her that he would never leave her and that his heart belong to her

After a few minutes, he stopped kissing her and wiped her tears with the back of his palm. He held her palms together and pressed his lips on them

"Amber, you should understand that I will never grow tired of you, not in this lifetime or the next. This time more than ever, I need your trust. You trust me, don't you?" He looked at her ocean blue-eyes that were already slightly swollen.

Ambrose sniffled and nodded her head. She drew her brows together and asked" But I need to know what's going on. I fear I might die from worry if you keep putting me in the dark "

Damon rested his back and looked ahead. He took a deep breath. Left with no other choice, he told Ambrose everything without leaving out a single detail

After he was done telling her everything, the atmosphere fell into another silence

A couple of seconds passed by before Ambrose responded " There are too many risks attached to this, Damon. It's way too dangerous. We were living just fine before. So long I have you by my side, I'll be satisfied"

" No, Amber. Everything wasn't fine. I want to give you all you desire, take you on fancy dates, buy you expensive dresses. I want to pamper even the tip of your hair. I want to be man enough. And after we get married and have kids, I want to be a good father to them" Damon rested his head on the steering wheel.

The latter sentence fluttered Ambrose's heartstrings. Although Ambrose felt satisfied just by being by his side, she knew there were some things only money could solve. She wanted it as well, for her man to stand on his two feet without having to take orders from anyone.

However, the thing she feared was "Will this go on till forever? What if you get too deep to come back out?"

He took her hands in his "I'll always find my way back to you. I promise"

Ambrose shook her head and bit her lower lip before she responded " It sounds dangerous. But, since you already went on with it and can't back out now. I've got no other choice than to support you"

"All you have to do is trust me, okay?"

Ambrose nodded in response and looked around the car "Nice car though"

They spoke for a bit more time which afterwards, he dropped Ambrose off at the closest and most convenient place for her to get to her school as he reluctantly parted with her. He went back to the mansion with an elevated mood. It felt nice to see and speak with his girlfriend after two days of no communication

Love is a blissful feeling indeed

When he returned to the house, he saw his grandfather from afar. He seemed to be giving instructions to people. Damon went to him "Grandfather, shouldn't you be in your room resting? Don't over-exert yourself"

" Nathan, you're back! Come here" Oliver patted his shoulder lightly and said to the men in front of him " This is my grandson and your boss, Nathan"

The men glanced at each other. Was the old man going nuts? Which grandson?

They concluded that Oliver that finally lost his senses. But since he was still the eldest master of the family, they could not ignore his words. So they bowed their heads slightly and greeted Damon

He responded to them with a slight nod

" I'm assigning these two to be your personal bodyguards. Rest assured, they are well-trained. It's not safe for you to go out on your own, take them wherever you go" Oliver told Damon "Rest assured, they are well-trained. It's not safe for you to go out on your own, take them wherever you go"

The two bodyguards were dumbfounded by what they heard. They had been hearing rumours of the return of Nathan, but there was no validation of the rumours so they left it as rumours. Who knew the rumours were true? They immediately changed their postures and stood uprightly

Their sudden change in posture startled Damon. He understood Oliver's concern. After all, if Nathan had bodyguards around him back then, he would most definitely not have disappeared. Now that they thought he's back, they'll do all they can to protect him

With the previous event, it would be almost impossible to convince Oliver that he didn't want a bodyguard. So, he just nodded and agreed

"We already planned a party to welcome you back. It's scheduled for tomorrow's evening. You can look through the arrangements with Margaret and see it you want anything changed" Oliver told Damon as he watered the plants in the garden

Damon watched in silence as he watered the plants. Initially, the only reason he agreed to be Nathan's impostor was to have enough to provide for Amberose.

But things changed when he got into the Snyder's mansion. He felt an unexplainable pull to the Oliver and Margaret, even it felt like the house was drawing him closer

He wasn't quite sure why he felt that way. All he knew was that he couldn't go away. Soon, Oliver finished watering the plants and went back into the mansion

The sound of a racing car came to a halt. Damon turned to see who it was. A black and white sneaker first emerged out of the car before the body followed

The man had an impressive height and was dressed in blue ripped jeans which was a pair to the ripped jacket that was swung over his shoulder. A rimless sunshade beautifully on his nose-bridge

The man's countenance broke when he saw Damon. He went to him hastily, pointed his finger and asked "You, is it true Nathan has returned?"

Damon placed his finger on his chin as though thinking before he replied "So far I've heard, yes, Nathan has returned"

"You must be a staff here right? Since you don't know this, let me tell you. You can't address Nathan like that. You have to call him young master Nathan or just young master. Boss is fine as well. But don't call him by his name alone, you could get fired for that " The man shook his head and took off his sunshade as he spoke to Damon seriously

Damon chuckled internally. It was the first time he was meeting such a talkative man.

" You're not responding? Do you know who I am? I could get Nathan to fire you by just telling him to. I'm that important to him. Hmph" The man spoke with pride as he folded his arms across his chest and slightly lifted his shoulders

"Really? Who are you to him?" Nathan responded
