Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Why Did You Come Back? 

Cherise never imagined that the person she had saved at the expense of offending Damien would turn around and press her against the ground. 

Her throat was viciously choked. She wanted to struggle but couldn’t find the strength at all. 

“Wench! If I knew you were so vengeful, I would have taken advantage of you back then! Perhaps you wouldn’t have looked for a man outside to harm me!” 

Nicky grew angrier as he spoke, and he exerted more force. 

Cherise was pinned under him and couldn’t even make a noise to shout for help. 

In the end, her vision started to get fuzzy. 

As everything started to get hazy, she had a thought. If she died, was it Damien’s fault or her fault? 

She wanted to spare Nicky’s life since they were relatives, but she never thought he would be so ungrateful. 

Just as Cherise thought she would die, a navy blue dart landed firmly on Nicky’s hand. 

At the next moment, a whip was flicked from the direction of the rooftop’s doors. It hit Nicky, and he lay on the ground howling. 

After escaping Nicky’s control, Cherise turned over and covered her neck as she coughed incessantly. 

Her throat felt uncomfortable, as though something had crushed it flat.. 

“Are you alright?” 

After a long time, a large and slender hand reached out to her. 

She was slightly taken aback as she looked up. 

The glow of the sunset shone from his left. Half his face was gilded. 

At that moment, his face, which was covered with black silk, immediately emanated an alluring radiance. 

Cherise looked at him and stopped coughing. “Why did you come back?” 

Her voice was awfully hoarse. 

Damien reached out to grab her arm and pulled her into his arms. 

The man had a chilly air around him, making her slightly dizzy. 

“Of course, I wouldn’t have left you here alone.” 

Cherise was startled. “So you expected that he would do something to me?” 

“Not really.” 

The man glanced indifferently at Nicky at the side, whom Blake had tied up again. “Since you wanted to give him a chance, I gave him one.” 

“If he was grateful to you after we left, I naturally wouldn’t have made things difficult for him.” 

“It’s a shame…” 

As the man spoke, Blake kicked Nicky violently. 

Nicky lay on the ground and let out a howl before he ultimately fainted. 

“Weak.” 

Blake kicked Nicky a few times and saw that Nicky had stopped moving, so Blake used his leg to check. “He’s fainted.” 

Cherise pursed her lips. Anyone would faint after getting beaten up like this, right?
