Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Start Over

His voice was cold and indifferent, as if he didn’t even care that he was Cherise’s husband. He acted more like a guest than a spouse.

His words had stirred up Ian’s emotions, but he kept his cool,

“You know my relationship with Cherise?” he asked through gritted teeth.

“How could I not know the man who asked my new bride out the day after my wedding?”

Damien spoke with his deep and gravelly voice, sending a shiver down the spine of the person at the other end of the call. “I can let you off once, seeing how you were a senior she respected in school. I will not be so forgiving next time.”

“I’m so hungry…”

Lenoir Manor.

Cherise finally awoke from her deep slumber, her senses assaulted by the smell of food.

“Are you awake?”
