Despite the strength of his previous feelings for Nyla, her constant coldness was causing them to wane. Meanwhile, Nyla was about to go for a walk after finishing her dinner when she received a call from Pete. "Ms. Jayston, your husband's men found me. They warnedto stay away from Jordyn or they'd call the police," Pete said.
