Those words were like a bomb. However, before Damian could react to it, Cheryl woke up first and said, "Let's just talk about it tomorrow. Damian's very tired today."She was still drunk and tipsy just moments ago, but now, she hurriedly stopped Cedric before he could spill any more information.Over the past few days, Cheryl had been very pampered at home, and so, Cedric decided to hold his tongue when he saw the expression on Damian's face."That's right. It's my and Cheryl's wedding today. How could there be any bad news at all on this auspicious day?"Damian's agreement with her statement made Cheryl feel relieved. Cedric also tactfully removed himself from the situation and left.However, a short while later, after Damian put Cheryl in bed, he returned to the living room and sat down on the couch before summoning Cedric again."What happened?"He didn't ask Cedric when Cheryl was around because he had a feeling that this had something to do with Natalie after all.As expec

Damian didn't return home to his villa immediately afterward. Instead, he ordered a proper burial for Natalie that very night.During that time, his phone rang incessantly. He didn't even have to check his phone to know who was calling him—Cheryl, the woman who had inadvertently caused Natalie's death!After busying himself for the entire night, he was finally done by the time dawn broke. He retrieved Natalie's ashes and personally placed them in the grave.He hated himself, but he hated Cheryl even more.If it weren't for the fact that she'd lied to him, he would never have to wait until Natalie's death before learning that she had done so much for him without him knowing.And to think that Cheryl even repeatedly framed Natalie again and again, making him retaliate by doing so many hurtful things to her.He thought about the past, where he'd slept with Cheryl right under Natalie's nose, forced her to take orders from Cheryl, and even slapped her face with thick wads of cash. The

Damian continued roaring at Cheryl."If you never stopped Cedric from calling me, Natalie could still have been saved!"You really used every dirty trick in the book and stooped so low to marry me, Cheryl! Are you happy now that Natalie's dead?"Do you know how she died? Let me tell you, Cheryl Garcia. She was trapped in a massive fire during our wedding ceremony! You were the one who stopped Cedric from contacting me and telling me about it! Otherwise, I could have saved her!"But when I finally rushed over, she was dead! She died being burned alive in that fire, Cheryl!"Damian's anger grew with each word he said. His grip tightened even more around Cheryl's neck.He refused to let go of Cheryl's neck, lifting her off the ground as her face flushed a deep red, her lips turned blue, and her eyes rolled back into her head. She wasn't able to utter a single word in response.A deep fear welled up within her. This was the first time she'd seen Damian so crazed and reckless.Tears

Damian looked down at Cheryl for a very long time.Cheryl felt the lingering gaze on her, and it finally registered in her mind. Her sight slowly became focused once again as she looked up in his direction, realizing that it was Damian.At once, she grasped at him like he was her lifeline, scrambling to her feet as quickly as possible before grabbing hold of his legs."Dam! I know now that what I did was wrong! Please, have mercy on me! Spare me! I'll change, I promise I'll change for the better! I won't do anything of the sort anymore!"Everything that happened in the past was all my fault! Please, if only you'll forgive me, I'll promise to do anything you want me to do! Please save me, Dam! Don't do this to me anymore! I'm so scared… I'm so, so scared…"Tears began streaming down Cheryl's face, and the fear and terror in her eyes were genuine this time.However, she could still fight for a chance to be forgiven. Yet, Natalie was dead and would never come back to life again.At

As soon as Damian stepped outside, he immediately let go of Daphne in his arms. He felt no affection whatsoever for any of these people or even Cheryl. They were merely tools he used to apologize to Natalie in his own twisted way.He lit a cigarette. He didn't use to smoke, but he simply missed Natalie too much."I'll be taking my leave now, then, Mr. Abbott," Daphne said quietly before slinking off. She was a lot smarter than Cheryl, but she wasn't without ambition either.Damian just nodded silently without an audible response as he continued walking on his own, aimlessly and without direction. He just missed Natalie too much.He walked past many people on the busy, bustling road, but none of them were Natalie.When the cigarette was gone, he lowered his head and snuffed it out. When he looked up again, however, he accidentally caught sight of a very familiar figure.He didn't even manage to see the person's face—only a corner of her profile, yet he was immediately attracted
