Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 7

Clark stiffened abruptly, his expression darkening instantly. He tightened his grip on Nyla’s chin before slowly releasing her and turning to face Damon.

Meeting Damon’s amused gaze, Clark forced a smile. “No. Uncle Damon, did you need something?”

Damon smiled. “Your grandma sent me to call you both for dinner.”

“Thank you, Uncle Damon.”

“No trouble at all. But remember, this is the family home. Be mindful of your actions.” As Damon spoke, he briefly glanced at the red mark on Nyla’s chin, mockery evident in his gaze.

Seeing Damon’s eyes linger on Nyla, Clark frowned and stepped in front of her. “I understand, Uncle Damon.”

His tone and expression were not pleasant, and his gaze toward Damon betrayed a hint of wariness.

Damon smirked and casually looked away. “Alright, let’s go eat.”

After Damon left, Clark reached out for Nyla’s hand, but she dodged him, walking away without a backward glance.

Clark quickly caught up, gripping her hand firmly. “Behave, or I’ll talk to your father!”

Nyla’s attempt to pull away halted, a wave of helplessness and anger washing over her. If she hadn’t agreed to become a housewife back then, she wouldn’t be under his control and threats now.

She needed to find a job quickly, earn enough to pay her father’s medical bills, and free herself from Clark. Until then, arguing about divorce was pointless.

Having made up her mind, Nyla stopped struggling and let Clark lead her to the dining room.
