Chapter 1086 The Road to Hell
Cherise hadn't realized that Damien would be willing to risk both his life and that of his men to rescue her father.
"Sir," Mr. Hampson gathered the courage to speak up after Damien explained the entire plan. "I may not be the best person to say this to you, but someone needs to remind you. Though you once considered Raymond Lenoir your uncle, we now know what he did to your parents years ago. It's clear that he's a psychopath. As for Mr. Beckham Tanner, although he is Mrs. Lenoir's father, the truth is that they don't share a close relationship beyond their blood ties. Are you really going to risk your life to save him?
"With Raymond Lenoir's instability, we can't predict his actions once we reach the island. If something were to happen to you and Tristan Lenoir returns to the family, your sister won't accept it."
Damien Lenoir remained silent for a moment, then smiled impassively and glanced at Mr. Hampson. "So, you think I shouldn't go?"
"Not in person, at least." Mr. Hampson took a deep breath. "Sir, you are the backbone of the Lenoir family now, the helm of the Lenoir Group. Mrs. Lenoir, your children, and your sister's family depend on you. If something were to happen to you here while trying to save Mr. Beckham, Mrs. Lenoir would feel guilty for the rest of her life."
"But if I don't go to save my father-in-law, it is I who will carry the guilt for the rest of my life." Damien Lenoir's gaze and voice turned cold. "Mr. Hampson, I appreciate your concern, but remember, you are employed by me. You should always listen to me."
"But..." Mr. Hampson pursed his lips, feeling the immense pressure of arguing against his employer. "I'm saying this for your sake and the future of the Lenoir family."
"Oh?" Damien Lenoir sneered, crossing his arms, his obsidian eyes fixed on Mr. Hampson. "So you believe I shouldn't go? That the risk isn't worth it? You doubt my abilities to rescue my father-in-law, so going there would mean suicide?"
As Otto watched Damien vent his anger from the back of the cabin, his legs trembled slightly. If even the loyal Mr. Hampson faced such anger for stating facts and considering the good of the Lenoir family, Otto didn't dare imagine what would happen to him if he ever angered Damien.
He glanced nervously at the distant suitcase, regretting being swayed by Cherise. Persuasive as she was, Damien was far more formidable and terrifying.
Now, the plane was about to land soon, and Damien would quickly learn that his wife had also boarded the plane with him. At this moment, Otto thought that he was learning firsthand what it meant to be on the road to hell, even if he did have good intentions."Otto!."

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. ❤️...
