Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 977

Nyla could not believe how Dominic could say something so vile, so cruel, and actually mean it.

Dominic let out a furious snort, his tone sharp as a blade. "Listen closely. The Goth family is currently on the verge of locking in a billion-dollar investment deal. Do you have any idea what that kind of money means?

"It would launch our family into the elite overnight—we'd finally be one of the top powers in all of Jayrodale. For that kind of future, a small sacrifice like this is nothing. Nyla, you're not a child anymore. It's time you started contributing to this family."

Camilla, her belly swollen from pregnancy, was practically trembling with excitement. "Wait—what did you just say? A billion-dollar investment? Oh my god, do you know how massive that is?"

She turned to Nyla, her tone sharp and commanding. "Did you hear that? Dominic is doing this because he has no choice—it's all for the family. If you had even a sliver of conscience, you'd agree without hesitation.

"So what if you have to sleep with someone? It's not that big of a deal. Let me tell you—girls your age are already using their bodies to land their first big break in the world.

"Some are buying cars, and others are closing on homes—looking glamorous and living the high life. Who isn't envious of that? But you? You act like a clueless little fool, shocked by something that's become so normal.

"Hell, if Dr. Lloyd had shown interest in me, I would've jumped at the chance—even with this baby in my belly!"

Camilla did not even blink while saying it. In fact, she looked proud—like offering herself up would be some kind of noble act.

Nyla stared at them in disbelief. The two people she lived with every day were twisted beyond recognition.
