Chapter 1096 Raymond's Demise
But no one saw what was coming next...
As the servant was closer to Raymond, she untied him first before turning to Beckham. As Raymond was freed, he found a burst of strength. He rushed to the table, grabbed a fruit knife, and lunged at the defenseless Beckham. In a flash, Damien stepped in and shoved Beckham out of the way. Yet, even with his quick reflexes, Damien couldn't completely thwart Raymond's frenzied assault.
"Beckham, let me tell you something," Raymond snarled, the fruit knife grazing Damien's arm as he continued his attempted attack on Beckham. "It was your wife I had an affair with back then! I slept with your wife, and now I'm sending you to meet her!"
At that moment, Beckham was freed from his bounds. Though his movements were stiff, he was agile enough to dodge Raymond's attacks. He remained composed, narrowing his eyes as he grabbed Raymond's wrist, redirecting the knife as Raymond lunged at him.
Caught off guard, Raymond couldn't stop his momentum. With a swish, the knife plunged into his own heart. Blood spurted out, and Cherise barely had time to scream before the man who resembled Damien collapsed in front of her with a heavy thud. The servant rushed to help him, saying, "Master fainted at the sight of blood..."
The metallic scent of blood filled the entire basement. Cherise quickly rushed to check Beckham's injuries. While Raymond's strike had been fatal to himself, Beckham had also been hurt. In the scuffle, Beckham's hand, which had been gripping Raymond's wrist, was cut, causing him to bleed. After assisting Colin, the servant urgently called out, "Bring the first-aid kit!"
"Alright," the servant responded with pursed lips. She was about to help Colin leave the basement when Damien intervened. "Let me handle this." With the servant's assistance, he knelt down, hoisting the unconscious Colin onto his back. Together, they made their way towards Cherise to exit the basement.
"Why are you being so kind to him?" Cherise couldn't help but ask Damien, curious about his unexpected compassion.

🌸 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. ❤️...
