Trading My Ex for His Uncle

After speaking, Damon took Nyla and left.noveldrama

Once they got into the car, Nyla turned to him. "Where are we going now?"

"We'll head back to my villa first. Emerald should be too preoccupied to bother you for now. After that, we'll take things one step at a time," Damon answered.

Nyla leaned against his shoulder and murmured, "Mm. I never want to be apart from you again."

"Me neither," Damon replied.

...

More than an hour later, the car pulled up in front of Damon's villa.

As soon as they got out, they saw Alexander standing by the entrance, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Damon's expression turned icy. "Mr. Kinsey, what are you doing here?"

At the same time, he instinctively positioned Nyla behind him.

Alexander noted Damon's protective stance, and his gaze darkened slightly. "Relax. I'm not here to take Nyla away. I'm here to help you."

Damon let out a cold laugh. "We don't need your help."

If it hadn't been for Alexander, Nyla wouldn't have been taken to Meristate in the first place. Their family wouldn't have been torn apart.

Alexander met his eyes directly. "I know you don't trust me right now, but getting Nyla out of Meristate won't be easy without my help."

"That's none of your concern," Damon countered.

Alexander sighed in frustration. "Mr. Sumner, I genuinely want to help you. And if I really wanted to take Nyla away, you wouldn't be able to stop me."

Damon was about to respond when he felt Nyla squeeze his hand. He turned to her. "What's wrong?"

"Damon, I think we should at least hear him out. The truth is, we don't have any allies in Meristate," Nyla said.

They had been able to rely on Ross before, but that was only because Damon had once saved his life. Now that Ross had returned the favor, their debts were settled. Asking for his help again wouldn't be easy.

Besides, with just Damon and Andre, they weren't strong enough to go up against Emerald.

After a brief silence, Damon finally nodded. He looked at Alexander coldly. "Fine. Come inside."

The three of them entered the villa.

While Nyla went to take a shower, Alexander and Damon headed to the study.

Once seated, Damon's tone was low and serious. "Alright, tell me. How exactly do you plan to help us?"

"I'll make sure you and Nyla return home safely, and I'll ensure you're never dragged into the Nixons' affairs again. You, Nyla, and Buddy can just live a peaceful life together," Alexander assured him.

Damon's face remained unreadable. "And you think Emerald will just agree to that?"

"Right now, Darcy is trying to push Vik into power. Meanwhile, Brian was injured in a car accident.

"After losing that piece of land in the south, a lot of people in the Nixons are unhappy with my aunt. If she wants to stabilize her position, she needs my support.

"When she comes to me for help, I'll make Nyla's return a condition. She'll have no choice but to agree," Alexander explained.

His words were sincere, but Damon simply scoffed. "Why should I trust you? Don't forget, you were the one who convinced Nyla to come to Meristate in the first place. To you and Emerald, she's nothing more than a tool to be used and discarded."

Alexander admitted, "I know it's hard for you to believe me, but I'm Buddy's mentor. I don't want to see him lose his mother at such a young age."

Originally, Alexander planned to bring Mason to Meristate and train him personally. However, Mason refused to come, and Emerald had now completely turned against them. She had increasingly hindered Damon's business, demonstrating her willingness to sacrifice Nyla and her family to pave the way for Brian and Delia.
