Chapter 1069 Unraveling the Shadows
Damien's gaze remained cold as he said nothing. He had, in fact, harbored suspicions about this for some time now. It seemed implausible that Gwenn could have amassed such extensive information about Cherise's past and wielded it to her advantage with such precision on her own. Especially regarding what happened with Alexis—Cherise hadn't even disclosed it to him, yet Gwenn seemed privy to the details.
The resources and intelligence Gwenn had at her disposal couldn't solely stem from her status as an adopted member of the Tanner family. There must be a strong network of connections behind her, with potentially even more formidable adversaries lurking in the shadows.
"So, I have no reason to fear or fret," Gwenn declared, before sinking into the sofa. "When will the police arrive?"
"Soon," Damien Lenoir replied tersely.
She offered a bitter smile, keeping her lips sealed.
Before long, the butler ushered in the police. Sebastian was suspected of orchestrating Savannah's abduction, and as the mastermind, Gwenn wouldn't be able to evade repercussions either.
"Mr. Lenoir, rest assured, I'll deploy more people to monitor these three!"
Such heinous incidents were rare in a quaint city like Calais, hence the police's serious demeanor.
"We will ensure the law is upheld impartially!"
Damien nodded subtly, then turned to grasp Cherise's hand, observing as the police escorted Gwenn, Sebastian, and Trent into the police car.
Dad had raised Gwenn as his own daughter for over two decades. Such ties weren't easily broken. Understanding and respecting Dad's choices, Cherise had always strived to avoid conflict with Gwenn. Yet it seemed others were intent on doing so on her behalf.
"We should go find Steve," Damien suggested. Sensing Cherise's turmoil, Damien's heart ached for her as he gently smoothed back her hair. "Don't you want to see Savannah?"
Cherise snapped back to the present. "Of course I do!"
She had so much to share with Savannah and countless questions to ask. Amidst her memory loss and Savannah's sudden departure following the wedding, they hadn't exchanged a single word in almost eight years before being separated once more.

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. ❤️...
