Marrying the Man in the Dark

“If you tell me you’re genuinely interested in being with me, I’d be thrilled to have you by my side.” Sebastian lifted the teacup to
his lips, taking a sip. “But you’re fabricating a pregnancy, acting like your want to be with me. What’s your game?”
“Are you planning to murder me when I lower my guard? Or perhaps you want me to publicly admit that I returned Damien’s
shares to him just so everyone believes his wife cheated on him. I never expected you to defend Damien like this, even with your
memory loss.”
“If I’d known you’d react like this, I wouldn’t have let you slip away in the first place.” He yawned, his voice laced with
indifference. “Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to incapacitate you and make you a foolish, helpless person.”
“I’m not like Damien. He revels in your vivacious essence and spirited demeanor, whereas I...” Sebastian set down the teacup,
fixing a menacing gaze on Cherise. “I cherish you in every form. Look at you now, with your pallid complexion, harboring fear in
your heart... I love it.” Shifting into a more relaxed position on the sofa, his frigid gaze swept past Cherise, his words sharp and
brutal, sending chills down her spine.
“Before our paths crossed again, all I could envision was possessing you at any cost,” he declared. “I once believed that an
innocent country bumpkin like you would willingly become my bride. After all, I’m from a wealthy family. I thought I could
manipulate you and triumphantly flaunt you to the world, but... alas.”
“Damien beat me to the punch.” Sebastian toyed with the pen in his hand, a cold smile gracing his lips. “Not only did he snatch
you away, but he also ensnared your heart, leaving nothing for me. So, what do you expect me to do? I can attempt to seize you
physically, but I can’t capture your heart.”
Cherise’s complexion paled, her fingers clutching the sofa’s armrest tightly. “So you’re responsible for my memory loss?”
“Not really,” Sebastian yawned. “Your amnesia wasn’t part of my scheme. I conspired to drive a wedge between you and
Damien. I didn’t foresee you actually losing your memory.” He met Cherise’s gaze boldly. “However, I don’t care about your
current condition. It doesn’t matter whether you recall anything.” Regardless if she’s lost her memory, her mind is consumed with
thoughts of Damien, and she’d never draw near to me!
“I’ve been pondering a lot lately,” Sebastian drawled, sinking lazily into the sofa. “Wouldn’t it be niee to put you into a vegetative
state so you could be a mere trophy?” His chilling proposition rolled off his tongue nonchalantly. “I could manipulate you as I
please. You wouldn’t be able to leave or betray me.”

“When your mind goes blank, you won’t be dreaming of another man in front of me,” he smirked at Cherise. “There’s no
escaping.”
“Is that so?” A deep male voice interrupted as Sebastian issued his menacing threats, causing him to jolt from the sofa.
Standing at the door clad in black, Damien fixed Sebastian with a cold stare. “As Weiss Group’s future heir, shouldn’t you be
worried about Weiss Group’s shareholders hearing such unsettling remarks, Mr. Sebastian Weiss?”
Sebastian’s brows knit into a deep frown. “How did you...” Sebastian’s associates had assured him that Damien had been
resting at home all this time! How can this be...
“Are you wondering how I got here?”
