TimeNovelChapter 1103 "What exactly do you want?!" Nyla demanded.
Hearing the urgency and anger in her voice, Gabriel chuckled. "Nyla, my original plan was to be with you, have a child, and spend the rest of our lives together." The words filled Nyla with disgust. But with Mason in Gabriel's hands, she dared not provoke him. Who knew what he might do? Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she said slowly, "Your goal is me. Taking Buddy doesn't help you. Just let him go, please." "Nyla, that's what I used to think," Gabriel replied. "But after Damon gotthrown in prison and ruined Nyce Tech, I've changed my mind." Nyla's grip on the phone tightened. "What do you want now?" "I want Damon to feel the pain I'm going through. Since I can't bankrupt Prospectus Technology, taking Buddy will make him suffer as much as I have." "No! Don't!" Nyla trembled, a wave of terror washing over her. "Gabriel, I'm begging you. Don't hurt Buddy. Please... Lettrade places with him. Takeas your hostage instead. My life for his. Please? I'm the one you want." The line went silent, as though Gabriel were weighing her proposal.

"Alright. Wait for my call. And I suggest you and Damon don't call the police. If you do, I can't guarantee what might happen to Buddy." With that, he hung up.
Nyla's eyes were red, her body shaking uncontrollably as she swayed on her feet.
Damon steadied her, his voice calm but firm. "Nyla, I won't agree to you trading places with Buddy. There's no guarantee Gabriel will keep his word. What if he ends up controlling both of you?" en Damon had stayed quiet during her call with Gabriel, knowing his voice might provoke him.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNyla looked up at Damon, her gaze full of despair. "You won't lettrade for Buddy? Then do you have another solution?" It was the only way she could think of. Even if Gabriel captured her too, as long as she could see Mason and he was safe, she was willing to take that risk.
Mason was only five years old. Who knew where he was being kept? Was Gabriel hurting him? The thought of her son possibly suffering tore at her heart. She wished it were her in his place.
"Nyla, my team is already working on tracking Gabriel's location. As soon as we pinpoint him, we'll rescue Buddy: Trust me, okay?" Damon pleaded. ☐

"Calm? How can I stay calm? Buddy has been kidnapped! Every segand he's with Gabriel, he's in danger! How E can I calm down?" Nyla cried.
