"Just move slowly okay, don't try to rush it" her therapist whose name was Mr Francis said as Amy was trying to force herself to lift her leg.

" Why does it seem so hard?" She asked out of frustration.

" You have to relax Amy, you are making a lot of progress, this past three months you have shown tremendous improvement, so just relax okay" he advised sitting beside her.

Just then, Damian walked into the court they were using. These past few weeks, they two had become a little close, she got to know his name and what kind of person he was in California and how people feared him, she too was scared of him but it was not to a big extent and luckily for her, he was not asking about her past again and they just went with the flow. She was genuinely happy to see him at her therapy session, it has been a whole week that she had seen him.

" Good day sir" Dr Francis greeted.

" How is she doing?" Damian asked, he purposely ignored her as she was also pretending not to notice him.

" She is making tremendous progress sir"

" That's good to hear" he said and walked up to Amy.

" Why are you here?" She asked, turning her face away from him.

" Are you mad at me?" He asked as she sat beside her.

" Why will I be mad at my big brother?" She

asked.

" Big brother?Now where is that coming from?".

" You act like my big brother and you are older than me so that makes you my big brother".

" Well suit yourself, hurry up and come up for dinner",Saying that he left.

"Welcome sir" the chief maid greeted as he entered the house. He could notice the disturbed look on her face.

" What is the matter?" He asked.

" Elder Martins is here and he looks really upset," she replied.

" Don't worry, go back to work" he said and walked up the stairs to the second living room. There he met his father sitting down with an expressionless face, he was continuously tapping his stick on the marble floor.

" I have always told you to Inform me before coming to my house, father," he said lazily, lowering himself on the couch.

" How long has that lady been here and who is she?" Elder Martins went straight to the point.

Damian massaged his forehead lightly, " is it because of this you came here?, And who told you there is a lady in my house?".

" Do not forget Damian, before you were born I was already here".

He sighed, " she's someone am helping" he finally said.

" Is it because of her that you do not want to go on any of the blind dates I set up for you?.

" No" came the short reply.

" You are already thirty one Damian Martins, you better behave and bring home a wife and until you do so,better start going on those blind dates" , saying that, he stood up and left.

Damian came out of the shower, his hair was still dripping wet when his phone buzzed. It was a message from Rubby about work, he read it and kept the phone. His mind drifted to the conversation he had with Amy earlier.

"Tch tch, big brother how cheesy" he muttered under his breath and smiled. He quickly got dressed and went down for dinner. Amy was already seated by the time he reached.

" What took you so long, big brother?" She asked, smiling at him.

" I am not your big brother Amy" he hissed.

" Of course you are," she replied teasingly and focused on her food.

" By the way, are you sure you can handle the therapy?, If it's too difficult,you can quit and wait a while"

" No" she interrupted, " I must finish it quickly"she replied and sounded distant which left him wondering.

" But can you stop calling me big brother?" He

asked again in a serious tone and she burst out laughing.

" What is so wrong with that?You always claimed you were my big brother".

" Yes, I see you as a little girl, now keep quiet and eat" he scolded gently. A call came across his phone interrupting their discussion.

" What is it?" He spoke huskily.

" Boss, it's the Avanti group of companies,they have refused to sign the deal saying you didn't show up as planned for the meeting" came Rubby's voice.

" Cancel the deal and send our legal team to them" saying that he disconnected the call.

" Wow, you are really scary as I have heard these past few weeks".

" So better be scared" he said and continued his food.

It was a Saturday morning, Amy was done with her morning session of therapy and relaxing on the couch when Damian walked in, he was dressed in his gym wear and sweat was dripping down his body, his hair looked disheveled from too much exercise, Amy kept looking at him until he stood in front of her.

" I know I'm handsome,you can stop drooling now" he said jokingly.

" I was not drooling" she tried to defend herself looking away.

"Well, that's your business, I will go and freshen up '' when he goes upstairs. Thinking for a while, she brought out her phone and began to check for information on her family. It's been a year now that she was left to die. Scrolling through the phone, she could see pictures of her dad and step mum, they looked happy in the picture.

" Did dad even try to look for me?" She muttered under her breath in anger. Next she saw a picture of Jennie and Gwen, they also looked happy.

" You all think you can get rid of me easily right?" She said to the picture.

" Who are you talking to?" Damian asked, sitting beside her, he snatched her phone from her.

" It's bad manners to do that" she snapped and tried collecting the phone back but he didn't give it back.

" Hmm, Sabastian Wilson" he muttered to himself, " do you know him?" He asked, turning to her.

" Everyone knows them in my city so why wouldn't I know them?".

" Oh okay, so why are you checking the news about them?".

" It's because I want to be updated on the happenings" she answered immediately.

" Is there something you aren't telling me, Amy?" He asked in a serious tone.

" No, nothing," she replied. Just then Rubby entered the house and met them sitting and discussing something.

" Good morning boss," he said, walking up to them.

" Good morning Rubby" Amy greeted.

" I thought we finished all the pending work yesterday, why are you here?" Damian asked without looking up from his phone.

" It's Elder Martins boss" Rubby replied.

" What does my dad want this time?" He asked, already getting angry.

" He asked me to make sure you go on the blind date he set for you" Rubby replied and moved three paces back, he was scared of what Damian might do.

" Blind date?" Amy asked in a disappointed tone.

" Rubby, are you working for me or my father?" He snapped angrily.

" I'm sorry boss".

" Go back and tell him I'm busy" he said and left the two of them.

" Why would his father set him up on a blind date?" Amy asked.

" He is already thirty-one and not yet married" Rubby replied and also walked off.

Damian entered his room and slumped on the bed as he brought out his phone, he began to scroll down his gallery and it was filled with Amy's picture from the hospital down to today.

" Why do I feel like this around you Amy?" He muttered under his breath, " I have never felt like this before, why do I suddenly feel like this around you and for God's sake stop calling me your brother Amy" he snapped more to himself.

His mind drifted back to the first time he felt like that, it was a few weeks back, he had entered her room to check on her, she was sprawled on the bed sleeping without a care in the world and at that moment, he felt something in his stomach. Looking at her face, how peaceful it looked as she slept was an image he could not forget. He was tempted to touch her but he quickly regained his senses and rushed out of the room.

" I don't know what you are doing to me Amy '' he muttered in a frustrated voice.

    Dressed in an red elegant babycon gown and a pair of red heels to match, Amy twirled in front of the mirror for the umpteenth time before quickly grabbing her clutch bag. It was her first dinner date with Min ho and she wanted to look her best." How do I look?" She asked turning to Cody and Teresa, they both helped her in getting ready and evidence of smiles was on both faces. They had never seen her dress up so seriously but she looked superb especially with the way she looked extra tall and classy with that dark shade of red lipstick on her Rosy lips." You rock girl" cody squealed excitedly and Amy blushed." Don't let him get into your pants though, that happened with me and Ethan on our first date" it was Teresa who spoke up and Cody elbowed her teasingly." Not everyone is as shameless as you Terry"." Well girls, wish me luck" she blurted looking at the mirror again as her phone began to ring and she could roughly guess who it was." Oh my gosh, I am so nervous" she muttered

    It was a long drive and Terry enjoyed every bit of it. The road was long and smooth. She didn't want it to end and with the way Ethan kept spoiling her, she felt like she was on top of the world.After driving for a while, the car came to a stop on top of a mountain and the two of them alighted. It was chilly but she could see a house in a distance." What is this place?" She asked as she looked around happily, the serenity and quiet of the place was top notch and she immediately fell in love with it." It was supposed to be an early birthday gift but I decided to bring you here tonight." he replied as he encircled her waist with his strong arms and she blushed before looking around again. There were trees planted on both sides giving a passageway to the house and it had beautiful lights adorning the road. It looked more like a small country home but it was more exquisite and grand." You built this for me?" She asked happily as she hugged him tighter, he always knew how to surprise

    Teresa walked towards the garden and caught sight of Ethan seated there and he looked so deep In thought. Ever since he got back from the hospital, he had been moody and hardly ever said a word. She could understand how he felt though after all his own mum shot him and was sent to prison, someone he loved with his whole life.Sighing softly, she made her way towards where he was sitting and sat beside him but he didn't even notice her come around until she prodded him." What are you thinking so intently about?" She asked, cutting into his reverie of thought and he quickly turned towards her before giving a fake smile." Terry, I didn't hear you come here. Why are you here?" He replied, as a fake smile continued to linger on his face but she could see through it and see how he was in pain." Ethan, are you still mad at me for what I said to you?"He gently cupped her face and smiled, " why would you think that?it's okay, I am not mad at you okay?so stop thinking about that and focus o

    Cody kept looking at Damian who was seated on the bed near her but he was not saying anything and she could feel he was angry. Who wouldn't be? after what Jennie had put them all through but she knew his anger was not only about that.Sighing softly, she tugged at his hand but he didn't budge; rather he turned the other way and laid down." Why are you so mad?" She asked after a while, she couldn't bear the silent treatment he has been giving her since this morning and she had to voice it out." Nothing" came the short and swift reply but he knew it was something deep down inside of him." Just talk to me Damian, remember we already promised each other it would be for better or worse".He slowly stood and glared at her for a while before ruffling his already disheveled hair, she just didn't know why he was angry did she?." Why didn't you tell me someone had called you to the pool that night?" He asked after a while, looking at her angrily and she gulped. He has always been a differe

    Everyone was waiting in anticipation for the doctors to say something and it was super painful for Teresa, she misunderstood him and now he was in the ICU because of her, something she would never be able to forgive herself for." Teresa" Elder Kim called as he walked up to her." Yes father" she replied avoiding his gaze, she felt embarrassed to stand in front of him." You shouldn't beat yourself up because of what happened, if I was in your position I would have suspected him but you were also wrong to blame him openly." I am sorry father" she said in a low tone as another set of tears escaped her eyes." It's okay, let's just hope he Is okay".Just then the operation room opened and a group of doctors filled out and the whole family rushed to them." How are my children doctor?" Damian asked almost impatiently, he had never been this apprehensive about anything in his life like he was now." The two ladies are perfectly fine" he replied and they all sighed happily as a tear escap
