Chapter 430 Nightmare-
Cherise froze.
After everything that had happened today, she had completely forgotten that Damien had promised to
take her to visit Zachary after her exams.
Butâ¦
âWhat about your businesses in Adania and your family? Can you really just drop everything and
leave?â
Damien gently pinched her cheeks. âI told you I wonât be bothered with them anymore.â
âAnd I wonât.â
âButâ¦â
âFinding Zachary is far more important.â
He squeezed her hand. âYour concerns are more important than mine.â
Cherise didnât know when she drifted off.
All she remembered was Damien holding her and talking to her.
She vaguely remembered him kissing her ear and saying. âThank you for coming into my life.â
And then she fell asleep.
She had a strange dream.
In her dream, a group of men dragged a woman into a room.
She couldnât move or speak. The woman lay motionless on the bed.
She could hear a manâs laughter and a woman screaming from the next room.
Her cries were so heartbreaking that they would bring anyone to tears,
Cherise lay on the bed. She wanted to sit up and say something, but she couldnât move.
All she could do was listen to the womanâs shrieks of pain.
âBeckham.â
âBeckham!â
âBeckhamâ¦â

Finally, the woman cried, âIâll kill every one of you with my bare hands!â
Cherise startled awake.
She was drenched in sweat.
She closed her eyes and leaned back against the headboard, trying to regulate her breathing
Why did she have such a dreamâ¦.
She did not know that woman.
Nor did she know anyone named Beckham.
âMadam, are you awake?â
Francesâ muffled voice came from the other side of the door.

Cherise froze. She instinctively turned to look at the time. It was past seven in the morning. Wiping the
sweat from her forehead, she got out of bed. âIâm awake.â
âWhereâs Damien?â
She remembered he had mentioned that they were going to Ziphon today to visit Zachary
âHe left early in the morning.â
Frances smiled brightly as she led Cherise downstairs. âHe left in a hurry but didnât forget to ask me to
make you breakfast. Youâre going with him, right?â
Cherise nodded. She sat down at the dining table and picked up a spoon. âDid he mention what time
heâll be back?â
Frances shook her head. âHe said you might have to wait a while for him.â
âHe needs to take care of some things so he can go with you to visit your uncle.â
Cherise nodded. She started packing after breakfast.
By the time she finished packing, it was past ten in the morning.
But Damien still hadnât returned.
She tried calling him, but he didnât answer.
He must be busy.
Without any response, Cherise lay spreadeagled on the couch and texted Lucy.

âCherry, Iâve decided I wonât have any feelings for Lennon anymore!â
It was obvious from her voice that Lucy had been crying. âI canât believe he used both of us!â
âHe is completely different from the person I thought he was!â
âI donât want to hear from him ever again!â
Cherise thought for a moment and recalled yesterdayâs events.
She gave a small smile. âItâs really not that bad. Lennon is probably more practical than we are.â
Cheriseâs chest tightened as she remembered what happened yesterday.
If Lennon hadnât done what he did, Damien and Danielle might still at it today.
