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.
