Zachary’s words hung in the air as the rumble of a car pierced the villa’s silence. He

turned to the window, watching Cherise wrestle a reluctant Lyra through the gate. Damien

chuckled, “Look, our firecracker Cherry has come to interrogate us.” Zachary chuckled, his

laughter carrying a touch of irony. “Crazy, right? Once upon a time, she was my world;

Lyra was just the shadow in the corner. I never thought I’d be talking about her with you

like this, let alone with a smile. But here we are.” In the past, he never entertained

advances from any other woman. His eyes and heart were exclusively for Cherise. Hence,

Lyra, the silent guardian angel who consistently appeared whenever he needed help and

support, became a mere afterthought. It became a never-ending cycle of rescue and

retreat, where she would inexplicably go MIA again after weathering through the storm

with him. But Zachary was a changed man now, seeing things differently. A recent

accident had flipped the script. It had shown him the power of care, the warmth of being

Damien and Zachary conversed, Cherise dragged Lyra upstairs, questioning, “Hey! What’s

going on with you, Zac?” Confronted with Lyra’s timidity, Cherise, usually lovely and

charming, morphed into a fiery and argumentative woman. She guided Lyra upstairs and

sat on the sofa across from Zachary, saying, “Lyra spilled everything to me. I think she has

a point. If you genuinely don’t want to be with her, then divorce is the way to go.” Feeling

amused and helpless, Zachary retorted, “Who says I don’t?!” As he spoke, his gaze

helplessly shifted towards Lyra. But the latter, who had secretly had a crush on him for

years, couldn’t meet his gaze. She just looked down with cheeks burning. Cherise,

watching the awkward silence unfold, pursed her lips. (Image) (Image) Cherise’s lips

with your new wife?” Zachary’s eyes darted to Damien, silently begging for backup. New
