Chapter 10 - Time's up Clark Amber.

Damian's pov;

I had just arrived at my place,after handing over my keys to my driver,I headed towards my doorstep and got in.

One of my house maids approached me, after greeting me, she helped me take off my coat. "Thanks." I said.

"Where is she?" I asked her.

"In the living room, drinking red wine." She answered.

I headed there and found she was seating on the couch, listening to a playlist from the 90s and drinking red wine.

" You really can't live without red wine, can't you." I asked my mom still standing besides the black couch.

"No, and your house doesn't have any wine,so I had to get one_ there's just whiskey everywhere."

"It's not my taste mom." I reminded her.

"Join me son." She said patting on the empty side of the couch.

I sighed then sat.

" Mom my pilot will take you back,you're leaving tomorrow." I told her.

To say the truth,I don't want her around here especially when there is a lot of women being abducted,and my mom is very gorgeous,no other men can't bat an eye. So I don't want her around to avoid being worried. Also,I'm still running an underground fight,and with her detective skills,which I don't even know where she got them, she will know about it and try to stop me.

But the main thing is, I'm working on getting Imma,and I don't want to tell her yet.

"What but I just got here Damian." She said.

"Yeah, uninvited." I concluded.

" But I wanted to see you, it's been so long."

" But we agreed if you're coming you have to tell me,I don't want surprises." I told her.

She sighed then placed her wine glass on the glass table.

" If I'm leaving tomorrow,then at least let's have dinner together,the maids have prepared plenty." She said.

I gave it a thought,and it wouldn't be bad since we haven't done this in a while.

" Fine,then I'll go freshen up." I said then stood and headed for the stairs towards my room.

***

I was all freshened up,and I was climbing down the stairs, heading towards the dining room.

The table was set,plenty of food was placed and drinks. No dessert,since I don't like sugary things.

My mom was already on her seat waiting for me, I just sat across her. We served ourselves the amount we could take and ate.

" So when are you marrying?" She asked breaking the silence.

That question just came out of the blue, I just didn't even process what to say and just answered thoughtlessly.

" Soon." I answered then scooped rice from the pot and added to my almost empty plate.

"Wow love, I'm so glad to hear that, finally my prayers have been answered." She said enthusiastically.

" Don't get ahead of yourself." I told her.

"Sorry but I can't control my excitement,how soon is it?" She asked.

I wiped my lips then sat back and looked at her." It's just soon, it's not specified." I said.

" Finally _ and give me a grandchild ASAP!" She state making me frown.

"Mom don't rush things." I told her.

" And from what status is she from?" She asked. " Is she from high, maybe a princess,all powerful like you?" She asked without giving me a chance to speak.

[Damn! So many questions!] I thought to myself.

"Mom, does all that matters to you? " I asked back.

She fell silent,then wiped her lips."No it doesn't,as long as you're happy." She state then smiled widely at me.

I then stood from my seat. " I'm going to bed,I have early appointments tomorrow." I told her.

" Good night." I said as started to walk away.

She stopped me at my tracks when she called me. " Just promise me that whoever she is, you'll take care of her." She said.

I just nodded.

I was at the balcony of my room, smoking my favorite cigar. I kept thinking about Imma,I knew what I was gonna do to her uncle and maybe she'll hate me,but I have to do it.

I then a flashback to when I was carrying her as I was taking her to her room,and when I placed her on her bed. The way I watched her fall asleep and how her red hair was smooth as I got it away from her angelic face.

And now I'm into a conclusion,I'm not only in love with her,but so obsessed with Immaculate. I pressed the remaining cigar on the glass bowl and I just couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.

***

We had just arrived at the airport. The chauffeur got out and opened the door for us. He then took out my mom's luggage.

Matt and Jaden had earlier, and they walked us to where my private planes were.

I had to make sure she got and I trusted the group to take care of her ( the air hostesses,and the pilots)

"I'll miss you dear." She said. Then hugged me goodbye, I also hugged her back and wished her a nice flight.

As soon as the plane took off, I headed to my rolls Royce Cullinan, Matt sat at the front passenger seat, while I was at the back and we headed for the hotel.

"Boss, did you tell her about Immaculate?" He asked.

I was just staring outside through the bullet proof window. "I didn't have to ." I answered.

" And will you ever tell her?" He asked again.

" She's not fully mine yet,but I'll make sure to tell her when the time comes." I told him.

We finally arrived and I was able to start my work of the day, I didn't want to take much time in the hotel, sine I wanted to go at the Amber's homestead then later I'll go to the fighting club and then to the hotel to finish off some work which I'm not in a hurry with.

After attending a few meetings, I got back to my office, someone knocked and then got in after my permission. It was Jaden he had brought the paper work I had him fetch.

I told him to carry them along as we were heading out immediately. I put in my coat, and I walked out as he followed.

We finally reached outside the building and my ride was waiting as Matt held the door for me.

" You guys ride with me." I said.

They obeyed and both got in and we left.

We finally arrived and I made myself comfortable at the living room as Matt and Jaden stood besides me.

I had already informed Clark that I was coming, so it's not like I was not invited.

I also hoped she could be around so I could get to see her. " She's not around boss,she went shopping with Jennie this morning and hasn't come back." Jade said.

" You knew that and just let them be alone?" I asked him pissed off.

He tried to explain,but I sent him off to keep an eye on them.

" I'm sorry boss it won't happen again." He said then walked out of the house.

Finally Clark entered the room. He was dressed in grey suit, and black designer shoes. He took the seat in front of me.

" I'm sorry Mr. Miller, I had a meeting with a very important client." He explained.

I didn't care anyway,I just wanted to be done with what brought me to his place.

" Clark, I'll go direct to the point... I'm here to collect my money in full." I said keeping my tone calm.

He fell silent,then asked one of his men to bring him a file. He took it and just held it.

"Mr. Miller, I thought I would get more time." He said.

" Like I told you I'm running out of patience here_ I just want you to pay me back." I state.

" I have this." He said then reached out the file to me.

I leaned forward and took it, then I sat upright.

I slowly opened the file,and what I saw shocked me. It made me angry,and now I couldn't hold it,I frowned and threw the file before the guy who brought it to him.

" Do I look like a child to you?" I asked really pissed off. Of course he's older, but what stupid game is he playing with me right now.

" I ...I will ...I can..." Clearly he couldn't even form a sentence.

I've always knew this guy was terrified of me and now that I was angry,I'm sure he was shivering.

" I gave you 500 million dollars,and you want to pay me back with 50 million... 50?!" I state. "You're not serious Clark." I added.

" I'll get you the rest,I just need more time,the company is failing and I'm struggling to get the rest_" he said but I cut him when I glared at him.

I gestured for Matt to show him the papers.

" If you can't pay all the money now_ then you shall face the consequences." I said then leaned back into my seat.

Clark took the papers,and went through them one by one,in each paper the horror grew.

"No,no,no_ please not this." He said still looking at the writings. " It's not true _ right?" He asked.

" It's true _ I want a hand in marriage with Immaculate." I said briefly.

" But why?" He asked.

" This is the consequence you get Clark." He said.

" No Damian,then just take the house,the workers, you can even own the company, but please not my Imma." He pleaded.

I had already made my decision and I was not turning back from it.

" It's already made just sign the papers and I'll forget about the money you owe me... it's better than suffering _ right?" I told him.

He looked at me with horror. His ocean eyes looked watery.

I knew I was taking something precious from him,but she's also precious to me and he gave no choice."Just agree to the terms."

" I'll have to call my lawyer then." He said getting his phone from his pocket.

"No need she's an adult,and going to court won't help you since you're the one who owns me." I said.

He didn't argue since he saw I was right.

" What if she doesn't want this?" He asked placing the papers on the table.

Then immediately Imma entered the room and stared at all of us.

"Want what?" She asked.
