Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1093

Chapter 1093 The Old Damien
"How do you know that?!" Colin snapped, teeth clenched in frustration, though he quickly reigned in his emotions. "I'm not losing my nerve; I simply find your arrogance laughable." Regaining his composure, he continued, "You've reached this juncture, yet you remain unfazed, believing you can dismiss my demands?"

Cherise pressed her lips together, silently intertwining her fingers with Damien's. Despite Colin's brazen words, she knew they were powerless to challenge him. He was in complete control with Beckham and Raymond, who were under his control, and his subordinates were all over the island.

Damien just grinned and shrugged nonchalantly. He grabbed Cherise's hand and led her to where Colin was sitting. They settled before him, and Damien handed Cherise a steaming cup of tea.

After giving her a comforting nod, Damien turned to Colin indifferently. He asked, "Who put the terrible idea in your head to approach me?" Colin's gaze flickered for a moment, but he stayed silent. "Swapping identities? No way. Even if I'm at my wit's end, that's not an option. And if anyone has the guts to suggest it to me, I'll destroy them."

Colin's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Why?" His tone, now earnest and grim, starkly contrasted with his previous arrogance, making him seem completely different. Cherise almost choked on the hot tea she had just sipped, shocked to see a man who resembled Damien displaying such an expression.

"Because if I assume your identity, I gain considerable leverage," Damien replied, his gaze piercing. His hunch was correct. Despite Colin's uncanny resemblance to him, Colin lacked the cunning and depth of thought required for orchestrating the current situation. It was clear that he hadn't set this up.
