As soon as they reached the door, a dozen police officers surged in.
The situation unfolded so quickly that Cyrus was still in shock, his face reflecting fear and anger, when he was pinned to the ground.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am?!" Cyrus growled.
"No matter who you are, you're under arrest for kidnapping. We are taking you into custody!" one of the officers declared.
Cyrus glared at Nyla with a look of deep hatred. "Nyla, you set me up!"
He had been very discreet, keeping his plans to kidnap Nyla a secret from everyone except his trusted associates. The swift arrival of the police meant that Nyla must have known about the kidnapping in advance and set a trap for him.
His eyes burned with rage. It was as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Nyla, pale and frightened, looked at him with wide eyes. "You're insane! You're the one who kidnapped me. How could I possibly force you to do anything?"
Yet, Cyrus caught a fleeting glint of satisfaction and coldness in her eyes.
"Just wait! I won't let you get away with this!" he snarled.
Nyla hid behind one of the officers, looking innocent and fearful.
Furious and realizing he had been caught off guard, Cyrus was soon taken away with his men.
As Nyla exited the warehouse, Pete hurried over to her. "Ms. Jayston, are you alright?"
Nyla shook her head. "I'm fine. Mr. Monaghan, please take me to the police station. I need to give my statement."
Pete nodded. "Of course."
Once they were in the car, Pete expressed his concern. "Ms. Jayston, we were fortunate that the police arrived in time. Otherwise, things could have turned out very differently…"

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
