"Clark said he loved me, but that didn't stop him from cheating with Jordyn. You say you love me, but that doesn't stop you from getting back together with Rebecca. I guess, in your minds, your feelings are worth a lot. Just because you like me, I'm supposed to be grateful and accept whatever you do," Nyla said.
Damon frowned. "That's not what I mean..."
Nyla smiled. "It doesn't matter what you mean. Since you chose Rebecca over me, there's no chance for us. It's that simple."
The calmness in her gaze stirred a sense of panic in Damon. He felt like he was really losing her.
"Nyla…" he started.
"We've already said everything that needs to be said. There's no point in dragging this out. Let's end it here," Nyla concluded.
Their love had always been unequal, never truly balanced. She'd rather not have such love at all.
…
Back home, Nyla had just sat on the couch when her phone rang. It was a call from William.
"Ms. Jayston, your assets with Mr. Sumner have been divided. Your share amounts to 786,398 dollars. Also, we've made some progress on Cyrus' case. Are you available tomorrow? We can meet and go over the details," William proposed.
"Sure, I'm free after work tomorrow evening," Nyla replied.
After setting a time and place, Nyla hung up and went to grab some clothes for a shower, pondering what to do about Cyrus.
Now that she had broken up with Damon, the Sumners wouldn't hesitate to come after her. Continuing to oppose them wouldn't benefit her.
Despite this, she wasn't ready to give up. It had been so hard to get Cyrus into jail. If she let him get away this time, it would be even harder to catch him in the future.
After thinking it over for a while without reaching a conclusion, she decided to stop worrying and wait until she met with William the next day.
…
The next evening arrived quickly.

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....
