Chapter 1053 The Looming Threat
Sebastian's swift release sent shockwaves through her, and his calls echoed with a newfound ferocity.
And the women he singled out in his accusations…
Today, she discovered Savannah and remembered Lucy and her father's past mention of affection.
So, who exactly was Heather?
Did she have any more female friends that she couldn't remember?
Just then, her phone buzzed with a photo from Sebastian, taken by Trent from a selfie perspective.
In the background, a mysterious figure sat, their head lowered and their features hidden. However, their wedding dress bore a striking resemblance to Savannah's earlier that day.
The photo came with a chilling message from Sebastian: "In just two days, she'll be in my bed."
"I'm sure you wouldn't want your friend to suffer, would you? So why not come and take her place in my bed?"
Sebastian's words ignited such fury in Cherise that she almost dropped her phone.
Damien's phone call was an update from his subordinate regarding Sebastian's location: "He's headed to the city next to Shawbury, Calais, and has already secured accommodations."
"Mr. Lenoir, I just spotted him making a call in his room… Should we intercept the signal?"
Damien's gaze hardened. "No need."
"He's too smart for that. If we intercept, he'll sniff it out in no time."
"Your job now is to stick to him like glue, don't let him catch wind of anything."
"Got it."
After the call, Damien tasked someone with investigating Savannah and Trent's whereabouts.
Although these two individuals had no ties to him, Savannah had been Cherise's close friend and had aided her in escaping a car accident.
Even without Cherise saying a word, he knew the innocent girl would be drawn into this mess.
So he handled it quietly.
Once everything was set, he headed back to the hotel.
Cherise's face was pale, her breathing erratic. "Damien, kiss me, quickly," she implored, her eyes filled with desperation and desire.
Damien's silence echoed loudly in the room, his eyes speaking volumes as they met hers.
What had gotten into her?
Taking a deep breath, he firmly held her hand, gently prying the woman who clung to him away. "Mr. Hampson mentioned you received a call from Sebastian and were very emotional."
"You urgently requested him to bring me back…"
His gaze, as intense as a storm gathering on the horizon, pierced her. "Just for this?"
Cherise pursed her lips, reluctant to divulge too much. Her sole focus now was to regain her memory as quickly as possible.
She refused to be exploited!
She demanded to understand the importance of these friends!
She yearned to rediscover the loved ones she had forgotten!
She was determined to protect them at all costs!

The readers' comments on the novel: Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise)
🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
