-Rain

I looked at Damien to see him nearing the bed. The bed looked to small in his comparison. I have truly never seen a man this big. He sat on the edge of the bed as his large hands went to stroke Amber's cheek.

"Wake up princess.", Damien said softly as removed the curtain of Amber's hair from her face. He whispered so softly as if he feared to scare her.

"Wake up Amber.", he murmured softly but Amber didn't even move. I felt like chuckling at that moment but I kept my mouth shut.

A frown etched on his forehead as he found that his efforts were going to vain. Poor Damien!

"She is a heavy sleeper. Try using some force. I assure you she won't break.", I told him. God it was so difficult to keep my laugh at bay.

"Amber, wake up baby.", Damien cooed as he jerked her a bit. This time Amber turned around but still didn't wake up.

I sighed. "Let me do it Damien.", I told him as I neared the bed. Damien got up from the bed with a pout. I placed my hand on her stomach and started tickling her.

She started turning around and soon her eyes fluttered open. I looked in her eyes as she got up and hugged me.

"Good evening my baby.", I cooed her as she kissed my cheek. I looked at Damien to see him smiling softly.

"You didn't tell me that you need to tickle her to wake her up.", Damien whined like a child.

"I am sorry. I thought you were capable of waking her up. But maybe I was wrong.", I teased him.

"You are hurting my feelings Ms. Rain.", he stated while putting his hand on his heart. I chuckled.

"Come Amber let's go down.", Damien stated. He opened his arms as he neared the bed but Amber didn't go in his arms. She looked at me and raised her pinky finger. I got what she wanted to say.

"Damien why don't you go down. Amber wants to use the bathroom.", I told him.

"Okay fine. I will wait at the dinner table.", Damien told me as he left the room.

"Now let's take you to bathroom.", I told her as I took her to the bathroom. I stood near the sink as Amber did her business. Once she was done, I flushed behind her and lifted her so she could wash her hands.

As we got out of the bathroom my phone rang. I looked at the name to see it was Nana. It's not been a day and she is already calling me. I couldn't help but smile.

"Hello Nana.", I said through the line.

"How is my pudding doing?", Nana asked enthusiastically. This woman!

"I am doing fine. Are you already missing me?", I asked her in a teasing tone.

"Is that even a question. Without Amber running around the home, the home feels too quiet.", Nana said with a sigh. Even I miss you dearly.

"Is there something you want to talk about?", I asked her.

"Oh, I completely forget. I called you for a reason but before that tell me is Damien behaving with you fine?", Nana asked me.

I sighed. Is he behaving fine? I know he is trying hard but maybe luck is not on his side. But now I am not at least that scared of him. Since we reached his house or more of a mansion he has been behaving very nicely.

"He is trying nana.", I told her.

"Is Amber happy?", Nana asked me.

I looked in her direction to see her running around the room. Guess she had already made herself comfortable.

"She is happy nana and how is Nanu?", I asked her.

"That man, he is perfectly fine. Just missing his munchkins.", nana said with a giggle as if laughing on a inner joke.

"Why did you giggle?", I asked her.

"Oh, it's nothing. Everything is fine.", nana told me.

I felt someone tapping at my knees. I looked down to see Amber looking at me. Amber doesn't like to be ignored specially by her mother.

"Just a minute baby.", I told her.

"Nana now the reason you called me.", I told her.

"Oh yes. Umm, you know Lila just visited us to meet Amber. We didn't think it was good to hide things from her so we told her everything. Maybe she is coming tomorrow to see you.", Nana told me.

I looked up at the ceiling and pinched the bridge of my nose. God why her?

"Nana why would you do that? You know her nature.", I said in frustration.

"Sorry baby. I didn't know you don't want to meet her.", Nana told me in a gloomy tone.

"It's alright nana. I will handle her. Now I need to go down for dinner. I will talk to you later. Bye and love you.", I told her.

"Take care sweetheart.", Nana said before the line was disconnected.

"Why didn't you come down?", I looked behind to find the source of that husky voice. Damien was standing by the door.

"Sorry I was talking to nana.", I told him while giving a sheepish smile. He nodded his head as he neared Amber.

"Will you let me carry you, princess?", Damien asked Amber as he opened his arms. Amber looked in my direction as if looking for permission. I slowly nodded my head while giving an encouraging smile. As soon as I did that she jumped in Damien's arms as he picked her up.

Amber laid her head on one of his broad shoulder as she made herself comfortable. Adoration pooled in Damien's eyes as he looked at Amber. Amber put both her tiny arms around Damien's neck as she tightly held him.

An unknown emotion swirled within me. I was never able to carry Amber this way but she now had someone to do so. That so to her father.

"Shall we go down?", Damien asked me softly to which I nodded my head.

I looked around the halls as we moved. It will take me a while before I get a hang this huge mansion. We ascended down the flight of stairs. We took a right turn and a huge door stood in front of me.

Damien pushed it open. We entered inside as I looked in awe. The dinning room was magnificent with beautiful detailing. The room had around twenty chair. It looked too huge for only two people. I looked around to find a small chair with long legs. I guessed it was made for Amber.

Damien walked in and made Amber sit on her baby chair. Amber looked around the room with unhidden excitement. Damien pulled out a chair next to her and indicated me to come to him.

I obliged his request as I sat on the seat muttering a quick thank you. Next Damien sat on the chair in the centre with adjacent to him.

Soon some maids entered the room wearing dresses slightly shorter than needed but who was I to judge. But the thing I noticed was that non of them looked in anyone of our eyes. Soon the food was served. Alfredo pasta, chicken lasagna and many other dishes. It didn't look like the food was made for two and a half people rather it looked like a feast.

I placed food in Amber and my plate as Damien placed in his. I looked at Amber to see her pouting. She first pointed in my direction then at her mouth. I sighed. What should I do of this girl?

"Eat it yourself Amber.", I told her. She looked at me intently and shook his head. God this girl can be so stubborn at times.

"Why don't you feed her?", Damien looked at me frowning. Like father like daughter. Do I really need to justify?

"She needs to learn to eat. I can't always be there for her.", I truthfully told him.

His frown deepened. "You are not going anywhere.", Damien hissed. God he can be such a caveman at times.

I looked in Amber's direction to see that she has not touched anything on her plate. She was looking at me with hope.

"Fine it's the last time I feed you.", I told her as her gloomy face brightened. I chuckled at her cuteness. Damien also looked satisfied with my answer as he resumed eating whereas I fed both Amber and myself.

"Why were the maids not looking directly at us?", my curious side couldn't help but ask.

"They fear me.", Damien stated proudly. Was it really something to be proud of?

"People should respect you Damien not fear you.", I told him softly.

"For me respect and fear go hand in hand.", Damien argued. He is too wrong. How can he think so? I looked at him starring intently at me.

"Do you want to say something?", I asked him.

"I am not a good man Rain. I live on other's fears but I make a exception only for Amber and you. You don't need to be scared of me.", Damien stated softly. How do I explain his words make me fear more.

"Damien I want to talk about my job.", I told him.

"What about it?", Damien asked me.

"Damien from tommorow I will resume my job and you must have a job to go to. So I have decided to drop Amber at Nana's house.", I told him.

"You don't need to do any job. I have enough money to buy the world.", Damien argued. I sighed. How do I make him understand that the job made me feel independent.

"But that job makes me feel independent.", I argued.

"Listen to me carefully. I want my daughter's mother to devote her time with my daughter. You don't need a job. Spend your time with Amber. You don't need to bother about earning. I am there. So just relax. I know you love your independence but I am not trying to steal your freedom. Try to understand me Rain. I have too many enemies who wants to take revenge from me. So I can't let you out alone. I am sorry.", Damien told.

I tried analysing his words. What does it means by danger and what is it's intensity.

"Is the danger life threatening?", I asked him.

"Yes. But you don't need to worry. Till the time you follow me you both will be fine. I won't let any harm come your way.", Damien stated more like vowed to himself.

"Fine I will quite my job.", I told him and a smile tugged on his lips.

"Thank you angel.", Damien murmured.

"Where is your family?", I asked him. His mood became darker as these words left my mouth. The smile vanished from his lips as his face went blank.

"My parents are no more in this world and I don't have any siblings.", Damien told me gruffly.

"I am sorry for your loss.", I told him as he nodded his head.

"You don't need to feel sorry for them. They don't deserve it.", Damien told me bitterly. What made him hate his family so much. I felt sorry for him.

I didn't drag the topic and soon the dinner came to end. Like earlier Damien carried Amber back to her room. I was bit worried because Amber has never slept alone.

I made her lay on the bed as I sang a lullaby to her. Soon she was deep in slumber. Damien stood by the door watching us. I muttered a quick good night to him as I went to my room.

I got in my bed as today's events replayed in my mind. Have I made the right decision by entering in such a dangerous life? I am damn confused.

I definitely worry for Amber and myself. Will be able to survive in this world? With alot of self doubts I closed my eyes but sleep didn't came my way.

What have I got myself into!
