Feeling the same way, they got back together. Their relationship was again short-lived when Damian cheated on Arman again with Ivan, who was doing marijuana at the time. Weeks later, Damian was arrested for holding hostage on Ivan. Arman would normally try to release people on bail, but after what Damian did to him, he left him serve three months in prison.

A few days after she left, Arman realized his mistakes and was going to apologize to her, but he was later kidnapped by Joshua, who returned from the dead. Luckily, Damian and Ivan saved him and they shot Joshua in the head once more. At first, Arman did not appreciate neither one of them saving his life, but when Damian kissed him, Arman felt like a lucky guy. However, that resulted Damian cheating on Ivan.

A funeral was held for him, and Damian revealed to his grave that he never stopped loving him.

Season 8
News reported that Arman was probably alive. Since his body was never found at the time the accident occured, it was hinted that he must have been surviving on his own. Ivan found Arman in an old cabin, and took him to the hospital to recover from his injuries. Arman then reunited with everyone else, including Damian. When Arman learned that Damian was dating Joshua, he tries to sabotage one of their dates. Damian immediately ended the friendship between him and Arman, saying he couldn't deal with people ruining other people's lives.

After that, Arman and Autumn confront for the first time in three years. He gets drunk once again and yells at her for never being there for him for all his life. Her then-boyfriend, Joshua, and Damian both calm him down. All of a sudden, Arman is kidnapped by both Ernesto and Joshua. As Damian tries to find him, he suddenly dies after a defunct factory collapses on him. This tears Arman apart, and he was too depressed to attend the funeral.

Moving on from that, Damian and Arman resume their relationship.

When Damian found out about this, he holds Arman at gunpoint and reveals to him that Ernesto is trying to use him, just like the way he did to Joshua before he was killed. Arman realizes his mistake, and they work together to defeat Ernesto once and for all. As they try to find Ernesto, he captures Damian and Arman before they could cause anymore havoc. Following that, Ernesto leaves for the lowest floor of his base to set a bomb. Luckily, Arman and Damian flee to Ernesto's destination as soon as possible. While down there, they are caught red-handed by Ernesto, and while he attempts to shoot them, the bomb goes off and explodes, causing a lot of damage. Arman is knocked out unconscious.
