**TITLE: Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane 206**
“Even though he is my elder brother, that does not change the truth that he has taken Nyla against her will,” Damon stated, his voice unwavering and resolute.
Cindy’s eyes blazed with indignation at Damon’s steadfast defense of Nyla. “Damon, you’re standing up for her because you have feelings for her! She’s just a woman—how can she possibly be more significant than your own brother?!” Her words dripped with incredulity and frustration.
“What?!” Marie’s head snapped around to face Cindy, her expression a mixture of shock and disbelief. “What kind of absurdity is this? Have you completely lost your senses?!”
The thought that Damon could harbor any affection for Nyla was unfathomable. After all, she was not only married but also the wife of his own nephew!
Richard’s face darkened, his gaze sharpening as it fell upon Cindy, who seemed determined to unveil a scandal that could shatter their family’s fragile peace.
Cindy, now fueled by a newfound determination, bit her lip to suppress her anxiety and pressed on. “Mom, I overheard Damon confess his feelings for Nyla during one of my visits to her in the hospital. I held back from telling you earlier because I feared it would be too much for you to bear. But seeing him now, prioritizing her over his brother’s well-being, I couldn’t keep silent any longer!” The weight of her revelation hung heavy in the air.
Marie staggered back, collapsing onto the plush sofa, her expression dazed and bewildered.
Damon had feelings for Nyla? How could he possibly be attracted to Nyla?
She recalled Clark’s earlier comment about Damon’s affections for a married woman—at the time, it had seemed like a passing remark, but now, it clicked into place with alarming clarity!
Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she fixed her gaze on Damon, a tempest of disappointment and anger swirling within her. “Do you truly have feelings for Nyla?”
His eyes held hers, unwavering as he responded earnestly, “Yes, I do.”
Marie’s fury erupted like a volcano, and she slapped Damon hard across the face, her eyes blazing with rage, nearly collapsing from the force of her emotions.
“I said, I will not stop pursuing her!” Damon reiterated, his tone firm and defiant.
The cane crashed down once more, and Damon repeated his declaration, each word a steady drumbeat of resolve.
With each repetition, Marie’s complexion grew increasingly pale, her emotions spiraling out of control. Suddenly, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment, she blacked out, collapsing backward.
“Mom!” Cindy screamed, her heart racing as she rushed to catch her mother, worry flooding her senses. “She’s fainted! Call the family doctor!”
The living room descended into chaos as the staff and Cindy scrambled to assist Marie, guiding her into a nearby room while urgently calling for the family doctor.
In the aftermath, the only souls left in the living room were Damon, still kneeling in defiance, and Richard, who remained silent, his expression grim and contemplative, as if weighing the heavy implications of the unfolding drama.
