Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 827

Chapter 827 Raymond’s Escape

Cherise stared at Damien, eyes wide. “Raymond’s gone?!”

Damien patted her back. “Yep. It was an urgent situation. I have limited connections in Ziphon, so I asked Zac for help. That’s why he was grumpy on his wedding night..”

Cherise’s mind drew a blank, “But… how?”

Though Damien and she weren’t there to guard Raymond, Mr. Kolson, Mr. Hampson, and Blake were! These weren’t just any men; they were practically ninjas! And Raymond was barely alive after those injuries. He couldn’t just walk out, right?

Damien sighed, pulling Cherise close. “It’s Gwenn. She found someone to fake being your dad, fooled everyone, then switched him with Raymond.”

Cherise feels like she’s been hit by a brick. “What?! So…”

Lyra’s voice barely a whisper, “So Zac left last night… not because of me?”

Zachary slumped beside her and managed a weak smile. “Spot on, Lyra.”

The truth slapped her like a cold fish.

Zachary was in the middle of a crisis, and she threw divorce at him like a ticking bomb? Seriously, Lyra?

Her cheeks burned with shame. Wish she could vanish right into the floor.

Zachary smiled at Lyra and said softly, “Lyra, come sit with me.”

Lyra hummed and walked over, sitting a little further away than usual.

She was shy but always careful not to upset him.
