Mr. Ross was the foster father of Lydia, she is an adopted daughter of the Derrick family but without her own knowledge.
Mr. Ross decided to keep it a secret just to keep her safe. She had gone through alot of crisis and there is still more crisis ahead........ one of the crisis is having an accident which led to her memory loss.
The body guards made their way to the front door of Lydia's apartment and began knocking on it . It was more like banging the door than a peaceful knock, and this made Lydia feel threatened by that.
She was about to take a shower and the indecent knock made her to quickly wear a robe and made her way quickly to the door.
On getting to the door she held the handle and then she asked for the identity of the person who disturbed her peace.
"Ma'am please kindly open the door, we have an important message for you" The deep voice said and this eventually made Lydia feel more threatened and she retreated immediately due to fear.
She ran to where she kept her phone and randomly picked a number and dialed it immediately, she didn't even look at the name due to fear.
She had always had this fear of strangers or strange voices ever since she was a child. It was more like a traumatic event that always took place when she was close to strangers or when she heard strange voices.
Her heart raced with speed, she shivered with fright as her body began shaking due to anxiety and fear.
Fate had it that the person she had called was Damian and it happened at the the right time as Damian was about calling her for a reason he himself never knew.
"He.... ll... oo." Lydia stammered as her entire body shook.
"Lydia!! Are you okay?? What's wrong??" Damian rushed all the questions at once as he could hear the tension in her voice.
"I don't know who they are, they are just outside my door but I can feel that the want to harm me ........ please....... help me . I'm so scared." Lydia continued stammering as the amount of fear increased in her.
Damian who was laying on his bed trying to take a rest form the day's work immediately jumped out of bed. And immediately wore his slippers and slid out of the room with speed.
On getting downstairs he carries his car keys and tries to call his driver, he wasn't even thinking straight at the moment, the only thing on his mind was on how to get to Lydia's apartment.
He got into his car , and immediately the engine came to life and he zoomed off.
"Nothing should happen to her to worsen the trauma she has..... Please." Damian muttered beneath his breath as everything wasn't going well in his head as his thoughts ran extremely wild.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
That was the sound that was made each time the men knocked on the door.
"Ma'am please kindly open the door we promise not to harm you . "The said in their thick voice that made Lydia more scared.
It took Damian an hour before he got to Lydia's apartment. He immediately ran out of the car and headed to the building. On getting there, he saw two hefty men . One was banging on the door while the other was just standing and surveying the area.
Damian acted on impulse, he didn't think of his actions. He immediately ran towards them and then an expensive fight broke out.....,........

"Sir Damian, are you okay?" Lydia asked with concern in her voice.
"I am fine, are you hurt, did the hurt you....." He asked but his sentence was being interrupted by Lydia.
"I'm fine sir , but what are you doing here" she asked confused.
"Well..,....Ahhhhh."He yelled painfully as his back seemed to be in pain as he held his right shoulder.
Their conversation was cut short by that action and Lydia had to take responsibility for that.
She took him inside the her house and made him seat on the couch, as he sat down he also yelped in pain. Lydia quickly rushed to get the first aid kit.
But then she realized that he has no physical injury instead he he said he had felt pain at his back.
"Uuhmm..... Maybe I should take you to the hospital." Lydia said hurriedly.
"It's just something minor, why would I go to the hospital." Damian responded with a very soft and calm voice that was totally different from the cold distant voice he usually had.
"So , what do we do now." Lydia asked in a very nervous way as she actually blushed for the seductive tone Damian used earlier.
"Sir on my back and massage it." He replied with a smirk.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaat." Lydia half yelled with a surprised expression "why would I do that." She completed her statement.
"I don't think you would want me to tell you that it's your fault "He said with the same tone he had used earlier.
The aura surrounding the room was making Lydia more nervous. She finally gave in after little thoughts and then she told him to lay on the couch.
He did as instructed then she slowly climbed on his back............ TO BE CONTINUED.
