Chapter 1177

"Damon, I'm sorry, but I don't have another choice," Nyla apologized.

"What do you mean you don't have a choice? You didn't even ask or discuss it with me-you just decided to leave on your own. You didn't think about how I'd feel at all. How could you be so selfish?" Damon demanded.

Nyla stared at him, shocked, her eyes welling with tears. "Would it have mattered if I asked you? You can barely handle Drake, let alone fight against the Nixons!"
