Trading My Ex for His Uncle

There was a time when Nyla believed that walking down the aisle with Clark, after being together since their university years, would be the happiest moment of her life.

It was only when Clark cheated on her that she realized true love and growing old together were rare. More often than not, relationships ended in separation and loss.

After their divorce, she swore she would never give her heart away again.

But, Damon—Clark’s youngest uncle—barged into Nyla’s life and gave her no chance to escape. She kept trying to distance herself, not wanting any more ties with her ex’s family.

Damon, however, pursued her relentlessly, determined to have her in his arms.

"Uncle Damon, we're not right for each other."

Damon gently pinched Nyla’s chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes. "You and Clark are divorced. How am I still your uncle?

"Besides, how do you know we’re not right for each other when you haven't tried?"

"I’ve tried," Nyla replied.

"Then try again," Damon said. "Keep trying until it feels right."

Nyla was at a loss for words.
