**Chapter 164**
In that moment, a maid rushed toward Damon, her expression fraught with urgency. “Mr. Damon! Ms. Jayston has collapsed unexpectedly. I couldn’t locate Mr. Clark!”
Damon’s gaze snapped up, his voice icy as a winter’s night. “Where is she?”
“She’s upstairs now. Madam Summer and the other guests are preoccupied. You should go and see her,” the maid replied, her voice trembling slightly.
Under normal circumstances, Damon would have sensed the unease in the air. Nyla had fainted, yet no doctor had been summoned? Instead, they were directing him to check on her? Something felt distinctly off.
But the effects of the spiked wine Cyrus had offered him earlier clouded his senses, leaving him disoriented and sluggish. It wasn’t until he found himself standing in front of Clark’s room that the realization began to dawn on him.
“Mr. Damon, Ms. Jayston is inside,” the maid announced, her voice barely above a whisper.
Damon halted abruptly, a wave of suspicion washing over him. “I’ll wait here for the doctor,” he declared, his mind racing.
To step into that room without understanding the situation could unleash a series of unintended consequences.
As he stood there, it became increasingly evident that this was a trap orchestrated by Cyrus. Damon had never imagined his elder brother would resort to drugging him, especially during their mother’s birthday celebration.
Cyrus had clearly crossed a line, revealing a ruthless ambition that left Damon feeling both betrayed and furious.
The maid, sensing the storm brewing in Damon’s eyes, paled visibly. “Mr. Damon, Ms. Jayston is sweating profusely. Perhaps you should check on her? The doctor will arrive soon…”
Damon’s lips curled into a sneer as he seized her by the neck, his grip firm and unyielding. “You dare conspire against me in the Sumner household? Do you have a death wish?”
He tightened his hold, watching as the color drained from her face. She understood that revealing the truth could incite Damon’s wrath, but it would also draw the ire of Cyrus.
“Mr-Mr. Damon, what are you saying? I don’t… I don’t understand…” she stuttered, her voice quaking with fear.
“You don’t? Then go fetch Cyrus. He should be the one to explain!” Damon hissed, his frustration bubbling to the surface.
The heat enveloping him grew unbearable, and his thoughts became increasingly muddled. What kind of drug had Cyrus slipped into his drink? If he lingered here much longer, he risked losing all semblance of rationality, and the consequences could be dire.
With a surge of determination, he shoved the maid aside and turned toward the staircase, desperate to escape this trap.
But just as he took a few steps, a jolt of pain sliced through his neck.
Cyrus stood there, his expression as cold as ice, watching as Damon crumpled to the floor. “Get him into the room,” he ordered, his voice devoid of sympathy.
Cyrus had employed a potent aphrodisiac on Damon, one so powerful that even the most self-controlled individuals would struggle to resist its effects. Knowing Damon harbored feelings for Nyla, Cyrus was confident that his brother would be unable to maintain his composure.
The staff hurriedly lifted Damon and carried him into the room, locking the door securely behind them.
“Alright. You can return to your duties,” Cyrus instructed, dismissing them with a wave of his hand.
Casting one last satisfied glance at the locked door, Cyrus allowed a smile to spread across his face. He could almost envision the fortune that awaited him, a reward for his cunning.
Inside the room…
As soon as the sound of the door locking echoed in the air, Nyla’s eyes fluttered open.
She turned her head slowly, her heart racing when she saw Damon lying beside her, his complexion flushed and disoriented. A wave of shock washed over her.
Initially, she had thought that Cindy had sent the maid, and she had played along, curious to see what was unfolding. But the realization struck her like a bolt of lightning—her father-in-law was attempting to place her in Damon’s bed!
The thought made her stomach churn with revulsion.
Cyrus and Clark were truly despicable!
As she grappled with this horrifying truth, Damon stirred, the effects of the drug pulling him from unconsciousness. He reached out instinctively, his fingers brushing against Nyla’s face. His normally cold, deep-set eyes now burned with an intensity that felt almost feverish.
Just as his heated hand neared her skin, Nyla reacted swiftly, her hand shooting out to grasp his wrist firmly.
Conclusion
In the dim light of the room, the tension crackled like electricity, binding Damon and Nyla in a moment that was both fraught with danger and charged with unspoken feelings. Damon, still disoriented from the drug that clouded his senses, felt a flicker of clarity as he made contact with Nyla. Her grip on his wrist was firm, grounding him amidst the chaos that surrounded them. The realization of their shared predicament ignited a spark of defiance within him. No longer was he merely a pawn in Cyrus’s twisted game; he was determined to reclaim his agency and protect Nyla from the sinister intentions of his brother. The betrayal cut deep, but it also fueled his resolve to confront the darkness that loomed over them.
Nyla, too, felt the weight of their shared struggle. Her heart raced not just from fear but from an undeniable connection to Damon that had been simmering beneath the surface. As she held his gaze, she recognized the vulnerability that lay behind his fierce exterior. In that instant, they were no longer defined by their familial ties or the manipulations of Cyrus; they were two souls caught in a web of deceit, fighting for their freedom and the truth. With a newfound determination, Nyla knew they had to stand together against the forces threatening to tear them apart. As they prepared to face the unknown, a sense of solidarity blossomed between them, transforming their fear into a powerful alliance, ready to challenge the unseen doors that had led them to this untold world.
