Cherise was always happy and joyful in her dreams, even when Damien was blind. Yet upon waking. Cherise found hall her pillow soaked with tears. The laughter and delight of her dreams stood in stark contrast to the emptiness that enveloped her upon awakening.

The stark contrast between the warmth of her dreams and the chilly reality made Cherise feel like her heart was being constricted, causing considerable discomfort.

With pursed lips, she opened the door without a second thought. The vigilant bodyguard outside offered a cautionary reminder. “Mrs. Lenoir, it’s not safe for you to venture out.”

The loosely draped collar of his attire revealed his sturdy collarbone. Bathed in the morning light, his slow approach to her exuded a comforting warmth and undeniable allure.

“Da…” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Then, spurred by a surge of courage, she opened her arms wide and dashed towards him. “Honey!”
