For a mother, nothing was more important than her child.If Gabriel had kidnapped Nyla, she wouldn't have hated him this much."Mm. I'll have someone keep an eye on her. She won't have another chance to come near you and Buddy," Damon said.He had also heard that Wren's husband had divorced her. Now that Gabriel was in jail, no one knew what crazy things she might do in her desperation."Okay, I'll leave you to work now. I won't disturb you," Nyla said.Damon hesitated for a moment, debating whether or not to tell her what Tom had mentioned earlier.When he didn't answer, Nyla asked, "What's wrong?"Damon shook his head. "It's nothing. You go ahead. I'll start working."Nyla frowned slightly, sensing something was off. "Are you sure? Is there something you want to tell me?""No, I'm just still a bit worried about Buddy," Damon replied.She sighed. "I am too, but he has to go to school. We'll just have to pay extra attention for now."After Gabriel's arrest, no one should hav

"Then what about you? What are you going to do?" Wren asked, her face etched with sadness and pain as she looked at Gabriel.No matter what happened, Gabriel was her only son. If he couldn't make it out of this situation, she felt her own life would lose its meaning.Gabriel's expression remained indifferent. "What happens to me is none of your concern. Just take care of yourself.""What kind of nonsense is that? How can I not care about you?" Wren demanded.Gabriel glanced at her, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Even if you want to care, you can't do anything about it."Don't come to see me again. I won't meet with you again. Just live your life with the money you'll be getting each month."As for Wilhelm, with Jane supporting him, he won't have to worry about food or clothing. There's nothing for me to stress over."Wren's face drained of color, and she stared at him, her lips trembling. "Why do you sound like you're saying your last words... Gabriel, don't scare me like this."

With or without a lawyer, the outcome of Gabriel's case wouldn't have been much different."I understand... as long as you try your best. Even if the result isn't good, I'll accept it," Wren replied."Alright," Philip answered.…When Damon heard that shareholders from Nyce Tech wanted to sell their shares and flee, he snickered."Don't let them cash out. If they do, we won't be able to recover Prospectus Technology's previous losses," he instructed."Understood, Mr. Sumner," Spencer replied."Good. You can leave for now," Damon said.Spencer turned to leave the CEO's office but paused at the door when he saw Tom approaching."Mr. Genge," he greeted.Tom nodded. "I'm here to see Mr. Sumner. Is he available now?""Please wait a moment. I'll check," Spencer replied.Two minutes later, he returned and said, "Mr. Genge, Mr. Sumner is waiting for you inside.""Thank you, Mr. Hogg," Tom replied."You're welcome," Spencer answered.Tom entered Damon's office and went straight t

"I overheard it earlier. Apparently, Nyla is related by blood to a key member of the Nixons, but I don't know exactly who," Tom revealed.To be honest, he didn't even know who the main members of the Nixons were. He had only heard of them but had never met anyone from that family.From what he had gathered, even someone like Drake would need to schedule an appointment far in advance just to meet with them.Damon's gaze hardened. His first thought was of Nyla's mother. After her divorce from Harrison, she had reportedly left for overseas in a hurry.Could it be that she had somehow ended up becoming a member of the Nixons and gained a position of influence? If that were the case, it would explain why Drake was after Nyla.Damon looked up at Tom. "Got it. Is there anything else you know?""Drake's pretty guarded around me, so he doesn't let me in on much. But I do have a close relationship with one of his trusted associates."One time, we were drinking, and his associate let it sl

Tom nodded. "Okay... you be careful too."Once Damon's people arrived to secure Tom, he planned to find a way to escape the country, change identities multiple times, and hide out in some remote area.By then, even Drake would have trouble tracking him down."Got it," Damon replied.After Tom left, Damon circled the names on the list tied to business, crossed out a few, and sent the remaining names to Spencer. He instructed him to arrange meetings with those individuals.Despite finishing the task, Damon's tense expression didn't relax.Drake was proving to be even more formidable than expected. His extensive connections in the city suggested he'd been laying the groundwork for years.Could Drake have known about Nyla's background all along?As more questions swirled in Damon's mind, his expression grew colder.No matter what, he would not let anyone disrupt the peaceful life they had built.…That evening, Nyla was on her way to pick up Mason from school when her car was ab

Bruce Pollock quickly lowered his head, his voice tinged with fear. "I'm sorry, Boss... I didn't think it through.""This month's salary is docked. If this happens again, you won't stay by my side," the man warned."Understood," Bruce replied."Well? Are you just going to stand there and wait for me to move these cars myself? Get them out of the way!" The man's tone was icy, and his cold stare made Bruce shiver."I'll handle it right away!" Bruce answered.The man turned back to Nyla, his expression shifting to one of guilt. "Ms. Kinsey, I must apologize. My subordinates lack proper discipline. I take full responsibility and hope you can forgive their behavior."Nyla stared at him coldly. "There's no need to play the good cop. Who exactly are you, and why did you block my car?"The man chuckled lightly at the distrust in her eyes. "Ms. Kinsey, I truly am sorry. How about stepping out of the car so we can find a quiet place to talk?""I'm not getting out of this car. Who knows w

On the drive back, Drake glanced at his assistant, Anna Randolph, who was sitting in the front seat. "What's Alexander's current status?""Mr. Mummery, Mr. Kinsey has been meeting with clients these past two days. Aside from that, he's been staying at his hotel and hasn't done anything unusual," Anna reported."That's it?" Drake frowned, sensing there was more to Alexander's return.He suspected it had something to do with Nyla. After all, Edward was on shaky ground, and internal chaos was imminent."Should we assign more people to keep an eye on him?" Anna asked."No. Increasing surveillance might tip him off," Drake replied."Understood. Are we heading back to the hotel now?" Anna asked.Drake let out a cold laugh. "No. We're going to the Genge residence."…Not long after arriving at the Genges', Bruce returned with Tom in tow.Drake lounged on the couch, his posture relaxed as he watched Tom with an amused expression.On the other hand, Tom was visibly trembling with fea

Drake smirked. "You really think I'd let her find out?"Tom's face darkened. "Drake, so no matter what I do—whether I talk or stay silent—you never intended to let me or Valarie walk out of this alive, did you?""I've already told you, your survival depends on whether you tell me the truth. If you insist on lying and sealing your own fate, there's nothing I can do for you," Drake countered.Tom clenched his fists at his sides, a deep sense of regret washing over him.If only he hadn't accepted Drake's help in the first place, he wouldn't have ended up in this mess. Regret, however, was useless now.If it were just him, he wouldn't care whether he lived or died. But now that Valarie had been dragged into this, it felt as though Drake had seized him by his weakest point.Taking a deep breath, Tom was about to speak when the sound of approaching footsteps echoed from the doorway.Everyone in the living room turned to look.Damon strode in, flanked by more than a dozen men who quic

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
