Marrying the Man in the Dark

ouch 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 guardian angel who consistently appeared
whenever he needed help and support, became a mere afterthought. It became a never-ending cycle of rescue and retreat,
where she would inexplicably go MIA again after weathering through the storm with him. But Zachary was a changed man now,
seeing things differently. A recent accident had flipped the script. It had shown him the power of care, the warmth of being looked

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 (Image) Lyra and
Cherise blinked. The former blurted out, “What do you mean?” Damien took a deep breath and said to his wife, “Everything. See,
