**TITLE: Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**

**Chapter 127**

Clark’s gaze pierced through Nyla, icy and unyielding as he demanded, “Why are you having someone keep an eye on Jordyn?” His tone was sharp, laden with accusation.

Nyla took a moment, her heart steadying as she responded with an air of calm, “If I don’t keep tabs on her, how will I know when you decide to meet her again and weave another web of lies around me?”

A deep frown creased Clark’s forehead, but just as quickly, a sense of ease washed over him. “Nyla, you still care about me, don’t you?” he mused, his voice softening.

The very notion that she was monitoring Jordyn seemed to suggest a lingering affection, a thread of connection that he desperately clung to.

Nyla lifted her gaze to meet his, noting the glimmer of joy illuminating his features. In that moment, she realized just how deeply he was ensnared in his own delusions, convinced that her actions were rooted in love rather than a desperate need for self-preservation.

Yet, this misunderstanding of his served her well, sparing her from a multitude of complications.

“I simply refuse to be perpetually deceived, nor do I wish to dwell in the shadows of your lies,” she replied, her voice steady, betraying none of the turmoil roiling within her.

Clark’s expression shifted, his belief in her intentions solidifying. He interpreted her coldness as a strategic move to reclaim his affections, to pull him back from the clutches of Jordyn.

He knew her well; if her heart had truly turned away from him, she wouldn’t have returned. The closeness she sought with Damon was merely a play to ignite his jealousy.

“Nyla, I swear to you, my heart belongs to you and you alone. I have no feelings for Jordyn. You can stop watching her. Once she has the baby, I’ll make sure she’s gone for good,” he vowed, his voice earnest.

The words dripped with a sickening sweetness, and Nyla felt a wave of disgust wash over her. How could he speak such nonsense with such conviction?

With a hint of sarcasm dancing in her eyes, she retorted, “And what about her child? You think I’ll just overlook that?”
