Chapter 827 Raymond’s Escape
Cherise stared at Damien, eyes wide. “Raymond’s gone?!”
Damien patted her back. “Yep. It was an urgent situation. I have limited connections in Ziphon, so I asked Zac for help. That’s why he was grumpy on his wedding night..”
Cherise’s mind drew a blank, “But… how?”
Though Damien and she weren’t there to guard Raymond, Mr. Kolson, Mr. Hampson, and Blake were! These weren’t just any men; they were practically ninjas! And Raymond was barely alive after those injuries. He couldn’t just walk out, right?
Damien sighed, pulling Cherise close. “It’s Gwenn. She found someone to fake being your dad, fooled everyone, then switched him with Raymond.”
Cherise feels like she’s been hit by a brick. “What?! So…”
Lyra’s voice barely a whisper, “So Zac left last night… not because of me?”
Zachary slumped beside her and managed a weak smile. “Spot on, Lyra.”
The truth slapped her like a cold fish.
Zachary was in the middle of a crisis, and she threw divorce at him like a ticking bomb? Seriously, Lyra?
Her cheeks burned with shame. Wish she could vanish right into the floor.
Zachary smiled at Lyra and said softly, “Lyra, come sit with me.”
Lyra hummed and walked over, sitting a little further away than usual.
She was shy but always careful not to upset him.
Zachary laughed. “Silly goose, we said ‘I do’ yesterday! How about hubby or something sweet like that?”
Lyra trembled in his embrace, then looked up, her face radiating shyness. “Hubby…” she whispered, almost inaudible.
Her blushing checks were as tempting as ripe berries. Zachary couldn’t resist gently tilting her chin and kissing her lips tenderly.
Lyra held onto the sofa, her body frozen yet still.
Cherise and Damien exchanged a knowing glance and then quietly made their way out.
Seated in the car, Cherise spoke in a low voice, “Dad has a soft spot for Gwenn. If he discovered that Gwenn used him to provide cover for the monster who raped Mom, he would devastate. Perhaps we should keep it under wraps for the time being.”

🌸 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. ❤️...
