Marrying the Man in the Dark

Cherise nodded solemnly. “I underestimated the intricacy of certain surgeries.”

Beckham sighed, choosing not to speak further.

After dinner, Cherise went to the kitchen with the housekeeper to wash the dishes as usual.

“I’ve lost my beloved. How do you suppose I’ve been?”

Damien furrowed his brows, choosing to remain silent.

“Why do you suddenly attempt to get close to me?”

Beckham lit a cigarette and reclined on the couch. He peered at Damien through the swirling smoke. “Are you trying to win Cherise back?”

Damien pursed his lips and nodded earnestly. “I want to.”

“That’s impossible.”

Beckham dismissed the notion with a wave of his hand. “When Ari passed away, she entrusted the Miles family’s businesses to Cherise. Whoever married Cherise would become the next head of the family,”
