**Chapter 106**

As Nyla stood there, tension radiating from her like heat from a flame, she nervously bit her lip, her silence hanging heavily in the air. Damon, with a sneer that twisted his lips into a cruel smile, pushed her aside, his intentions clear as he prepared to walk away.

In a moment of sheer desperation, Nyla reached out, her fingers wrapping tightly around his wrist to halt his departure.

Damon’s body stiffened at her touch, his expression shifting into one of icy menace. “Let go!” he snapped, his voice sharp enough to cut through the thick atmosphere.

Nyla’s heart raced, and she bit her lip harder, feeling the weight of his coldness. “Uncle Damon, do you really have to push me this far?” she implored, her voice trembling slightly.

His smirk deepened, a chilling mockery of her plea. “Nyla, do you have any idea what could have happened if Cyrus had stumbled upon you in his study?”

Nyla’s mind raced, recalling the stories she had heard about Cyrus—stories that hinted at a darkness lurking beneath his polished exterior. Yet, despite her ignorance of his true nature, she had dared to sneak into his private space. The thought of being caught sent a shiver down her spine; she could easily have vanished, just like others had before her.

Her grip on Damon tightened instinctively, her complexion paling under the harsh fluorescent lights that illuminated the room.

“Still keeping quiet?” Damon’s voice loomed over her, heavy with expectation.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Nyla finally spoke, her words slow and deliberate. “I… I wanted to find my marriage certificate with Clark…”

Damon raised an eyebrow, skepticism etched across his features. “And why on earth would your marriage certificate be in Cyrus’ study?”

Nyla hesitated, biting her lip again as she continued her explanation. “When Clark and I got married, he said he would keep our marriage certificate with his parents… I agreed to that arrangement… But now, I need to retrieve it…”

Damon regarded her with a mix of disbelief and mockery. “And suddenly, you need your marriage certificate? I thought you were planning to forgive him?”

Nyla’s eyes flashed with determination. “This is only temporary. If he cheats again, I will absolutely divorce him. I can’t keep forgiving him endlessly, can I?”

Damon’s gaze hardened, the irritation evident as he recognized the insincerity in her words. Yet, instead of confronting her deception, he resolved to peel back her layers of truth gradually.

Just as he prepared to respond, a loud, insistent knock echoed through the room, followed by Clark’s furious voice. “Nyla, open the door! Is Uncle Damon in there?!”

Panic surged in Nyla’s chest as she exchanged a frantic glance with Damon. The mere thought of Clark discovering Damon in the room sent dread coursing through her veins.

Damon’s icy demeanor remained unchanged, but as he caught her pleading gaze, he felt a flicker of hesitation. Yet, he averted his eyes, unwilling to show any sign of weakness.
