Marrying the Man in the Dark

Zachary’s words hung in the air as the rumble of a car pierced the villa’s silence. He turned to the window, watching Cherise
wrestle a reluctant Lyra through the gate. Damien chuckled, “Look, our firecracker Cherry has come to interrogate us.” Zachary
chuckled, his laughter carrying a touch of irony. “Crazy, right? Once upon a time, she was my world; Lyra was just the shadow in
the corner. I never thought I’d be talking about her with you like this, let alone with a smile. But here we are.” In the past, he
never entertained advances from any other woman. His eyes and heart were exclusively for Cherise. Hence, Lyra, the silent

Confronted with Lyra’s timidity, Cherise, usually lovely and charming, morphed into a fiery and argumentative woman. She
guided Lyra upstairs and sat on the sofa across from Zachary, saying, “Lyra spilled everything to me. I think she has a point. If
you genuinely don’t want to be with her, then divorce is the way to go.” Feeling amused and helpless, Zachary retorted, “Who
says I don’t?!” As he spoke, his gaze helplessly shifted towards Lyra. But the latter, who had secretly had a crush on him for
years, couldn’t meet his gaze. She just looked down with cheeks burning. Cherise, watching the awkward silence unfold, pursed
her lips. (Image) (Image) Cherise’s lips firmed. “So, care to explain why the night-long sigh, Mr. Groom? Shouldn’t you be busy
with your new wife?” Zachary’s eyes darted to Damien, silently begging for backup. New chаpter avąilable on Drаmаоvеls.cоm
