“If you tell me you’re genuinely interested in being with me, I’d be thrilled to have you by my side.”


    Sebastian lifted the teacup to his lips, taking a sip. “But you’re fabricating a pregnancy, acting like your


    want to be with me. What’s your game?”


    “Are you nning to murder me when I lower my guard? Or perhaps you want me to publicly admit that


    I returned Damien’s shares to him just so everyone believes his wife cheated on him. I never expected


    you to defend Damien like this, even with your memory loss.”


    “If I’d known you’d react like this, I wouldn’t have let you slip away in the first ce.” He yawned, his


    voiceced with indifference. “Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to incapacitate you and make you a


    foolish, helpless person.”


    “I’m not like Damien. He revels in your vivacious essence and spirited demeanor, whereas I…”


    Sebastian set down the teacup, fixing a menacing gaze on Cherise. “I cherish you in every form. Look


    at you now, with your pallidplexion, harboring fear in your heart… I love it.” Shifting into a more


    rxed position on the sofa, his frigid gaze swept past Cherise, his words sharp and brutal, sending


    chills down her spine.


    “Before our paths crossed again, all I could envision was possessing you at any cost,” he dered. “I


    once believed that an innocent country bumpkin like you would willingly be my bride. After all, I’m


    from a wealthy family. I thought I could manipte you and triumphantly unt you to the world, but…

    “Damien beat me to the punch.” Sebastian toyed with the pen in his hand, a cold smile gracing his lips.


    “Not only did he snatch you away, but he also ensnared your heart, leaving nothing for me. So, what do


    you expect me to do? I can attempt to seize you physically, but I can’t capture your heart.”


    Cherise’splexion paled, her fingers clutching the sofa’s armrest tightly. “So you’re responsible for


    my memory loss?”


    “Not really,” Sebastian yawned. “Your amnesia wasn’t part of my scheme. I conspired to drive a wedge


    between you and Damien. I didn’t foresee you actually losing your memory.” He met Cherise’s gaze


    boldly. “However, I don’t care about your current condition. It doesn’t matter whether you recall


    anything.” Regardless if she’s lost her memory, her mind is consumed with thoughts of Damien, and


    she’d never draw near to me!


    “I’ve been pondering a lottely,” Sebastian drawled, sinkingzily into the sofa. “Wouldn’t it be niee to


    put you into a vegetative state so you could be a mere trophy?” His chilling proposition rolled off his


    tongue nonchntly. “I could manipte you as I please. You wouldn’t be able to leave or betray me.”


    “When your mind goes nk, you won’t be dreaming of another man in front of me,” he smirked at


    Cherise. “There’s no escaping.”


    “Is that so?” A deep male voice interrupted as Sebastian issued his menacing threats, causing him to


    jolt from the sofa.


    Standing at the door d in ck, Damien fixed Sebastian with a cold stare. “As Weiss Group’s future


    heir, shouldn’t you be worried about Weiss Group’s shareholders hearing such unsettling remarks, Mr.


    Sebastian Weiss?”


    Sebastian’s brows knit into a deep frown. “How did you…” Sebastian’s associates had assured him that


    Damien had been resting at home all this time! How can this be…


    “Are you wondering how I got here?”
