Mason looked up at her, practically bouncing with excitement. “Mommy, Daddy said he’d take us hiking this weekend!”
Nyla chuckled and tapped his nose lightly. “When did I say I’d take you hiking this weekend?”
“Well, you could agree now too,” Damon quipped.
Mason looked up at her with a pleading expression, shaking her hand and asking, “Mommy, please?”

Seeing the bright sparkle in Mason’s eyes, Nyla’s heart softened, and she nodded. “Alright.”
“Thanks, Mommy!” Mason cheered and clapped his hands with joy, his face lighting up.
After playing a bit longer, Lydia arrived to take Mason for his bath and bed.
Nyla stood to leave, but Damon reached over and pulled her back into his arms.
“Nyla, now that Buddy’s off to bed, don’t you think we should have a little time to ourselves?” His voice was a deep, husky murmur, laced with temptation.
Nyla nudged him away, frowning. “This is the living room. People could walk in at any time–be mindful.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Damon lifted her into his arms and carried her to the study.
“What are you doing?! You scared me!” Nyla gasped, giving him a light punch in the chest.
“You said the living room wasn’t a good spot. So, let’s go to the study,” Damon replied matter–of–factly.
One hour later…
They emerged from the study.
Nyla walked ahead, her face flushed, her expression tinged with embarrassed irritation. Behind her, Damon wore a satisfied
smile.
When they reached the stairs and Nyla saw that Damon was still following her, she turned and gave him an exasperated look Why are you still here?”
Thinking back on what had just happened in the study, she felt her cheeks burn all over again. Damon had been shamelessly
over the top.
Damon looked at her, a hint of longing in his eyes. “Nyla, it’s been a while since we’ve been back together. When can I stay in your room with you?”
“Not until we’re married. Don’t even think about it,” Nyla answered.
Damon’s eyes sparkled, his voice hopeful. “Are you hinting that I should propose?”
Nyla was rendered speechless.
Seeing her stunned silence, he pressed on, “So, what kind of wedding would you like? Elaborate or simple?”
“Neither. It’s late, I’m going to bed. Goodnight,” Nyla said, hurrying up the stairs. Her retreating figure quickly disappeared.
Damon noted her reddened ears with delight. Maybe it really was time to plan a proposal. Even though they hadn’t been back together for long, he could hardly wait to make her his forever.
As he walked to his room, pondering how to propose, his phone rang. It was Brandon.
“Uncle Damon, is Aunt Nyla with you? I called her a few times, but she didn’t answer…” Brandon’s voice was tinged with worry.
Hearing the concern in Brandon’s tone, Damon frowned slightly. “What’s going on?”
“It’s Valarie… Something happened to her…” Brandon replied.
Nyla and Damon arrived at the hospital just before midnight.

Brandon was standing outside the hospital room, his face pale. When he saw Nyla, his despondent gaze brightened, and he rushed over.
“Aunt Nyla, Valarie’s in there… She’s really shaken up and won’t see anyone. But if it’s you, she might be willing,” he said, his voice raw and barely steady, his face shadowed with worry,
On the way over, Nyla had already heard the story from Damon.
Valarie had gone to break off her engagement with Zayn, but he had tried to drug and film her to blackmail her. If Valarie hadn’t fought back and managed to injure him, things could have turned out far worse.

The reason the Updikes had called the police was that Valarie had seriously injured Zayn, and he was now in the emergency room, fighting for his life.
Hearing this, Nyla felt a surge of anger. Someone like Zayn deserved it. She glanced at Brandon, who was lost in thought, and said softly, “Got it.”
“Thank you, Aunt Nyla,” Brandon replied.
Nyla walked to the hospital room door and knocked gently. “Valarie, it’s me. May I come in?”
There was no response. Just as she was about to ask again, a faint voice replied, “Come in.”
With a sigh of relief, Nyla pushed open the door.
Inside the room, all the lights were on.
Valarie sat huddled on the hospital bed. Her small, frail figure was bathed in the harsh light, making her look even more lonely and lifeless.
Nyla’s heart clenched as she slowly approached the bed and took a seat.
Valarie was hugging her knees, staring blankly into a corner of the room, lost in thought.
Gently, Nyla reached out and patted her on the back. “Valarie, it’s over now. No one can hurt you again.”
In the next moment, Valarie wrapped her arms around Nyla, trembling uncontrollably.
Feeling the warmth of tears falling onto her shoulder, Nyla murmured, “Don’t worry. I promise I’ll make sure you get justice.”
Valarie remained silent, clinging to Nyla even tighter. She had almost been ruined by that monster, Zayn.
As Valarie cried quietly, Nyla just held her, softly patting her back. Once Valarie had calmed down, Nyla gently let go and handed
her a tissue to wipe her tears.
After letting out her emotions, Valarie seemed more stable. She took the tissue, wiped her eyes, and gritted her teeth. “I won’t let Zayn get away with this!”
