Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Don’t Bully My Husband

Cherise’s hands shook slightly as she held Damien’s wheelchair

Damien’s words prompted her to realize something. None of the servants bothered to come to them since they entered Lenoir Residence

She looked at Damien’s chiseled facial features under the dim moonlight and felt pity for him

His cousin, Tristan, bullied him because of his disability and molested his wife right before his 

eyes

Furthermore, his aunt and uncle mocked him, never treating him with respect

As for his grandfather… 

Previously, Cherise thought Damien’s grandfather cared about him. Otherwise, why would he be concerned about Damien getting married

However, she witnessed how coldly Old Mr. Lenoir treated Damien in Lenoir Residence. Thus, she believed Old Mr. Lenoir also disliked Damien

She could not help but feel sad as she thought about this

Damien lost his closest family members from a young age. Furthermore, his other relatives mistreated him. It must have been heartbreaking for him… 

Cherise instinctively reached out and gently held his cold hand

His hand trembled slightly, jolting her to her senses

She withdrew her hand abruptly as if scalded. Still, she said firmly, I’m your family now, and I’ll always be with you.” 

Damien appeared bewildered for a second

He turned to Cherise and looked at her through the ribbon over his eyes

Cherise thought he did not hear her properly

Thus, she repeated in earnest, Although wehave only been married for one day, I’m not like them. I will be loyal to you. Even if you’re cursed, I’m not afraid. I’ll always be with you.” 

Damien chuckled silently. Come here.” 

Cherise went to him obediently and was suddenly pulled into his embrace

His breaths gently brushed against her neck, making her feel ticklish

He held her with one hand and used his other hand to tuck her hair behind her ears gently. Are you sure you’re not afraid?” 

The moon appeared hazy, partially shrouded by wispy clouds

Cherise’s heart began to palpitate as she remained in Damien’s embrace

The black silk over Damien’s eyes made him seem forbidding under the moonlight. He looked alluring yet dangerous

Cherise could not help but blush

This handsome man has been my husband since yesterday.I guess I’m lucky, right

Cherise looked adorably and alluring, with her cheeks flushed

Damien repeated the question in his gruff voice. You want to be with me? Are you not afraid you could die?” 

Those words of warning sounded cold on his lips. It hurt Cherise’s heart to see him like this

She nodded and looked into his eyes earnestly as she replied, I’m not afraid.” 

Although three of his fiancées died, I married him and survived. It means I have enough good luck for both of 

us

Damien looked into her innocent and sincere gaze and sighed. You silly girl.” 

However, a figure suddenly dashed out of the house before Cherise could determine whether he meant those words as a compliment.. 

Damien!” 

Tristan rushed toward them furiously with soot all over his face

His hair was a mess, and his suit was disheveled. Furthermore, his cheek was swollen with a palm. print on it

He kicked Damien’s wheelchair violently and shouted, You were usually so quiet that we thought. you were mute. Who knew you’re capable of instigating me at the right moment.” 

I should have known you’re up to no good.” 

You egged me into fighting with the Belcourt family. Thanks to you, the Belcourt family threatens to drag the matter to the public, causing Grandpa to take back the company he just gave me to save his face!” 

You blind b*stard! You tricked me!” 

Damien chuckled and said coldly, Since you knew I was up to no good, why did you still fall for 

it?” 

Are you so stupid that you needed beating to realize you shouldn’t have quarreled with them?” 

His tone was harsh and sarcastic, pushing the already fuming Tristan off the edge

Tristan kicked Damien’s, wheelchair several times, causing it to wobble unstably

He thought he had kicked hard enough to make Damien fall out of the wheelchair

Unexpectedly, a woman’s hands stabilized the wheelchair as it was about to tip over

Cherise held the wheelchair still and glared at Tristan. Don’t bully my husband!” 

Tristan was rendered speechless

He could not believe his eyes when he saw her furious glare

Previously, Cherise was so meek and docile that she did not dare to complain when he pinched her butt. Yet, she not only glared but scolded him

He sneered and grabbed her chin. Why? Are you going to defend him?” 

Have 

you forgotten your place? You can’t even protect yourself.” 

He laughed menacingly. Aren’t you scared I’ll assault you right before your useless husband?” 

He thought a woman who didn’t dare to complain when he molested her would not dare to fight back

However, he was wrong

Cherise clenched her teeth. She removed her high heel shoes and attacked Tristan’s face with them. I don’t care if you bully me, but I’ll never tolerate anyone bullying my husband!” 

What makes you think no one cares about my husband? I’ll have you know that I’m protecting him from now on!” 

Tristan was disoriented from being hit by Cherise’s shoes

By the time he recovered, Cherise had run away barefoot, pushing Damien down the flowerlined path and disappearing into the distance

Tristan wiped his face and smelled the stench of blood

He cursed under his breath and thought to chase after them. However, Raymond shouted behind him, Get back here! Haven’t you humiliated yourself enough?”
