Chapter 901

Author: Hello Spring
"Nathaniel, let go of me! Let go!" Rebecca cried.

Nathaniel glanced coldly at her. Her face, twisted with fear, no longer resembled the prettiest girl on campus she once was.

The thought that he had admired such a scheming woman as his goddess for so many years disgusted him deeply.

He dragged Rebecca toward the basement entrance and forced her inside.

Rebecca's eyes flashed with terror as she desperately struggled. "Let go of me! Let go! I don't want to go in!"

Her hands gripped the doorframe so tightly that her nails turned purple, but Nathaniel still dragged her inside.

The basement door slammed shut, cutting off all sounds from within.

More than half an hour passed before Nathaniel emerged from the basement.

After locking the door, he tossed the key to the butler, who lowered his head, too afraid to speak.

"Feed her once a day, just as long as she doesn't starve," Nathaniel instructed.

The butler quickly took the key, nodding. "Understood, Mr. Preston."

    While showering, Damon was surprisingly well-behaved.Nyla thought he had turned over a new leaf and relaxed a bit.Yet when they returned to the bedroom, she had just finished drying her hair, ready to sleep, when he approached her.Before she could refuse, his lips were on hers, and his hands pried hers open, forcing their fingers to intertwine.The night was cool like water, and Nyla felt as if she were being swept by the tides—sometimes washed up on a dry beach, other times pulled toward the deep sea.…Nyla woke up late the next morning.She glanced at her phone, which read 8:08 a.m., and hurriedly got up, quickly washing and changing.Within ten minutes, she was downstairs.Damon and Mason were sitting at the dining table having breakfast.When Mason saw Nyla, he put down his glass of milk and said in a sweet voice, "Good morning, Mommy.""Good morning." Nyla kissed his cheek and wiped off the milk stains with a napkin before sitting down beside him.Damon looked at h

    Nyla was about to speak when Damon held a takeout box in front of her."Here, eat on the way," he said.She paused for a moment, then took the breakfast. "Thank you."She hadn't expected him to be so considerate.Damon didn't say anything else. Instead, he opened a file and began reading.After a while, he glanced at her and noticed she hadn't eaten. With a frown, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?""I'm not that hungry right now. I'll eat when we get to the office," Nyla replied."Mm," he hummed and lowered his head to continue reading, but his phone rang."Mr. Sumner, there's news from the police. After reviewing the surveillance footage, they confirmed that Mr. Jayston accidentally fell down the stairs, so there shouldn't be any way to sue Wren," Spencer informed him.Damon's gaze darkened. He murmured, "Alright, I understand."He hung up and turned to Nyla, about to speak, but she beat him to it. "I heard everything."Concerned she'd be upset, Damon spoke softly to reassu

    After hesitating for a while, Ruby walked over to Nyla's desk."Nyla, I'm not dating him. I only agreed to have lunch with him because he got hurt while trying to help me," Ruby said.Seeing Ruby's cautious expression, Nyla sighed. "Ruby, I just think Sullivan's not a good person, which is why I warned you."You don't have to be afraid I'll be upset about your interactions with him. I won't interfere with who you associate with, and I don't have the right to do that."Ruby finally relaxed, seeing that Nyla didn't seem upset. "Okay. Don't worry. I know what to do."Nyla nodded. "Then go get ready for the experiment.""Alright," Ruby replied.…Time flew by while they worked on the experiments. Before long, the morning had passed.At lunchtime, Sullivan stood waiting outside the lab for Ruby.Ruby finished packing her notes and turned to leave. Her expression was calm as she said, "Let's go."Sullivan walked beside her, speaking softly. "Was the experiment tiring?""It was fi

    Sullivan lowered his gaze and remained silent, his expression growing colder."Oh, I see," Demi replied, her voice soft. "Sorry, I misunderstood."Her gaze lingered on Sullivan's icy face, and she bit her lip, her eyes flickering with an unidentifiable emotion.It was clear that Sullivan's feelings for Ruby went beyond those of a mere colleague or acquaintance.For the rest of the meal, silence fell between them. They ate quietly, starkly out of place amidst the lively chatter of others around the table.Once Ruby finished her meal, she set down her utensils. Noticing that Sullivan had yet to finish, she refrained from rushing him, instead pulling out her phone to watch some videos.Sullivan's gaze kept drifting toward her. When he saw that she wasn't even sparing him a glance, he pressed his lips together, his expression darkening.What he failed to notice, however, was that someone else was watching him closely as well.Half an hour later, they finished their meal.Demi took

    Damon's gaze turned icy as he asked, "Did he meet with Buddy?""Tom went under the guise of donating a building to the kindergarten. We're still unclear if he met with Mr. Mason," Spencer replied."Don't bother investigating further. Just keep an eye on him. He'll likely be in contact with someone overseas soon," Damon instructed.He ended the call and paused for a moment, then decided to remain where he was for now.Tom and Drake were both operating in the shadows.Falcon had already been compromised, so it couldn't provide any more information on Drake. Instead of staying on edge and trying to anticipate their next move, it might be better to wait and see what they would do next.Damon was certain that Tom's visit to the kindergarten was to obtain Mason's hair or something similar. After all, Mason was Nyla's child. If Tom couldn't get her hair, Mason's would suffice.…In the evening, Nyla and Damon went to the kindergarten to pick up Mason.They had dinner outside before D

    Wren staggered slightly, her face filled with disbelief. She opened her mouth, but in the end, no words came.A flash of irritation crossed Harrison's eyes.It was she who had insisted on the divorce, yet now she was acting pitiful. No matter the situation, it was never her fault—always someone else's.Nyla stood up, her cold gaze shifting to Gabriel. "We've received your apology. You and Ms. Hackett can leave now."There was nothing more to say to either Gabriel or Wren.Gabriel looked at her, his expression conflicted. He nodded and said, "Alright, we won't bother you. As for your father's medical and nutritional expenses, I'll transfer the money directly to your account.""That's fine," Nyla replied.Since it was Wren's fault that Harrison had been injured, she had no issue accepting the money.Gabriel turned to Wren, speaking in a low voice. "Mom, let's go."Without waiting for her to respond, he pulled her out of the room.Once outside the hospital, Wren finally choked o

    Nathaniel could no longer seek revenge. Instead, he was here, begging Damon for help. His heart simmered with indignation and resentment. Like Rebecca, he loathed Damon.If it weren't for Damon, neither he nor Rebecca would have had to torment each other, and the Preston Group wouldn't have ended up in its current state.However, he knew well that he lacked the power to confront Damon. His only option was to ask for his help.Damon's indifferent gaze never wavered. He was unmoved, not a hint of empathy in his eyes. From the moment Nathaniel chose to assist Rebecca in scheming against Nyla, they were no longer friends."Back when you were helping Rebecca, you didn't seem to remember our friendship," Damon remarked coldly.Nathaniel stiffened, his face draining of color."D-Damon, I've regretted every day for the past five years. I was deceived by Rebecca, and by the time I realized the truth, it was too late..." Nathaniel stammered."You don't regret it," Damon retorted. "You jus

    Nathaniel sneered, gripping Rebecca's chin tightly. "You're living in hell, and so am I. But I won't let you die. I'll keep torturing you, so you can feel my pain!"Seeing the madness in his eyes, Rebecca suddenly slapped his hand away and screamed, "You're crazy! You're a psycho!"Nathaniel smirked. "Yeah, I'm a psychopath. So don't even think about escaping me."His cruel, twisted expression was like a web, trapping Rebecca with no chance of escape.On the brink of insanity, Rebecca cursed at him loudly.The curses soon morphed into screams that echoed through the basement.After what felt like an eternity, Nathaniel finally vented his rage, throwing down the belt and standing up to leave.Rebecca lay on the floor, barely clinging to life, her gaze full of hatred.Suddenly, her eyes flickered to a key peeking out from Nathaniel's suit pocket. A glint flashed in her eyes.She grabbed onto his leg, her voice trembling. "Nathaniel… please, let me go. I promise I won't run again

    "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
