CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY - ONE" Where are you going to stay now?" Mr. Manns, Samantha's father asked Damien as he walked into his bedroom that evening. The day was already slowly turning into night and each person was finally preparing to retire for the night. " You know that you can always stay with us right?" He asked him because he felt that Damien could always live with them. He was free to stay around anytime and any moment he wanted to. Besides, he was family already." You don't have to move" he continued as he stood by the doorway folding his hands while he watched Damien arrange and make his bed.He had told the Manns of his plans of moving out of the house to get his own apartment. They had really tried for him, he could not deny that one fact. Everyone had taken him in as a family even though they knew not a thing about his background or his origin. Who was he, was he someone worth bringing into one's home or not? All of those questions, they had not bothered with

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY - THREEAfter they were all done with the dinner and the table had been cleared by Samantha and her mother with Damien helping out. He waited a little while to see if he would get to see Samantha so they could have a chit chat.He went over to wait for her on the balcony since it was certain that she was going to drop by anyways once she was finished with her chores in the kitchen for the day.He stood by the rail watching the stars and moon that shone and twinkled across the night skies at the same time. He was always sure to get a nice view out there every moment he dropped by. No wonder Samantha loved going to the rooftop almost everytime because she'd get a greater and clearer view of the night sky." What a very great display of constellation" Damien heard a voice say behind him. And just as he had thought, it was no one else but Samantha. She had walked out of the room to watch the night sky as was her usual customs.He was not a kind of person who

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY - FIVE" Your father has left the Emirates and has returned to UK today Miss Lesley" her closest bodyguard who also served as her personal assistant told her that morning as she was about to leave the hotel room she had lodged into during the weekend.Ever since she heard of her father's coming return back to the UK, Lesley had not stayed back home. To her, she didn't see the need to stay at the house when the old man would soon return any moment soon. " What did you just say?" She asked him to repeat what he had just told her again so she could be sure that she had heard him say so. Her father was finally back. He had returned after he kept postponing his return, she secretly wished that he didn't come back and could just stay back forever at the Emirates where he went for one of his usual business conferences, seminars, luncheons and perhaps, the most enjoyable part of them all would be the dinner." Your father, the big boss has returned, boss…" he an

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY - SEVENThe car got home just in time before the big boss reached the mansion.When Lesley got in, she walked straight to the bedroom to get herself a warm bath in the bathroom. It was not that she had not taken a bath before in the morning, she just wanted to take her time in the bathroom. To have an alone time and also find an excuse to do something that would get her busy should her father arrive the house.And just as she had predicted, it didn't take long before he came home. She could hear the sound of the car's beeping the moment she slid her body into the bathtub that instant.She was willing to spend all the hours that she could to immerse herself inside the water. Anything to get her busy and to also buy her time from seeing her father immediately he gets inside the mansion." She put on her mobile phone and played a song out on replay. She made it loud so she wouldn't have to hear the noise coming from the other end. Anything to get her attent

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY - NINE" When were you planning to tell me about your departure?" Samantha asked Damien that evening, he had told her already about his plans to leave the house for his own apartment." You've had this in your mind for a long while, haven't you?" She asked, looking at him with squinted eyes and her arms wrapped across her chest." I'm sorry….I planned to inform you about this. I'm really sorry about that" he said to her." Do you have to leave?" She asked again, wondering why he wanted to leave for another place. There were more than enough rooms in the house and he was always welcome." You are always welcome here. Don't leave us, I'm really going to miss you" she mumbled and pulled him by the hands to showcase her displeasure at what he just told her. She didn't want him to leave them. She was going to miss him.Damien smiled at her statement. He was touched because he knew how genuinely loved and accepted the Manns made him feel since he had been with
