Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex Novel

Chapter 1014 The first room-empty. The second room-also empty. By the time Nyla had checked every room, there was still no sign of Mason. Her patience was wearing thin, and her emotions were teetering on the edge of breaking. Gabriel's voice broke the tense silence behind her. "Nyla, don't worry. Buddy is in a very safe place. You just need to " Slap! Before he could finish, Nyla spun around and slapped him hard across the face. The crisp sound echoed down the hallway, plunging it into silence. A bright red handprint bloomed on Gabriel's cheek, stark and glaring.

Yet, instead of anger, he let out a faint laugh. "Nyla, you still don't trust me, do you? You still think I'd hurt you, is that it?" Nyla's gaze was icy. "I'll ask you one more time. Where is Buddy? If you don't tell me, I'll call the police." Gabriel might use gentle words, but his actions spoke differently. From his underhanded tactics that had brought down Prospectus Technology to taking Mason without her consent, everything he did only hurt her. His so-called love was just a disguise for his selfish desires. "I already told you, Buddy is safe.

I promise, if you let me show you around the villa, I'll take you to him," Gabriel tried to reason. Nyla didn't even spare him another glance as she brushed past him and headed quickly downstairs. When she reached the living room, Gabriel blocked her path again. "Nyla, do you really have to treat me so heartlessly?" His smile had vanished, replaced with a dark, threatening expression. Upon sensing the change in his demeanor, Nyla's hands curled into fists at her sides. That unsettling feeling-like being watched by a snake-crept over her, sending a chill down her spine.

She pressed her lips together. After a moment of silence, she spoke coldly You swear that if I walk through this villa with you, you'll let pae take Buddy with meg Gabriel smiled again, but it was a chilling one. "Of course. I wouldn't lie to you." "Fine. Let's hope you keep your word," Nyla replied. "You can trust me," Gabriel said smoothly. As he led her through the villa, he enthusiastically pointed out the designs and features, describing in detall how he had arranged everything during the renovations. It was clear the decor reflected the styles she had once liked.

But what she liked in the past didn't mean she liked it now. Suppressing her growing discomfort, Nyla forced herself to endure the tour until they'd seen every corner of the villa. "We've seen the villa. Now, can I see Buddy?" she demanded. Gabriel paused, his gaze flickering under her icy stare. "Nyla, don't rush. Why don't we sit for a bit first?" Before she could respond, her phone buzzed with a message from Valarie. She glanced at the screen and let out a cold laugh. "No need. I already know where Buddy is." With that, she turned on her heel and strode toward the door.

Gabriel's gaze darkened as he motioned for a maid to block her path. "Nyla, this place is perfect. Why leave? Stay here. I'll have Buddy brought over so the three of us can live together, safe and happy. How does that sound?" Nyla turned back, her expression blank. "I called the police on my way here. They should be arriving any minute. Save your words for them." As soon as she finished speaking, the wail of police sirens echoed from outside the villa. Moments later, two officers entered the living room. Nyla stepped forward. "Officers, I'm the one who called.

This man took my child from his kindergarten without my consent and refuses to tell me where he's being held."
