Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1052 The Sinister Ultimatum

As Cherise was about to react, a mysterious number lit up her phone.

She narrowed her eyes and answered, "Hello?"

"Cherry."

The voice on the other end sent a chill down her spine.

"If I can't have you, I'll make sure you're destroyed,"

The hoarse male voice on the other end of the line was laced with madness and malice as he delivered the chilling ultimatum Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

That voice...

A nshe had hoped never to hear again began to reverberate in her mind's darkest corners...

Her heart constricted with dread. "Sebastian!?"

"Yes," cthe ominous confirmation.

The man's sinister sneer cut through the air like a blade. "I didn't think you'd recognize my voice, not in this state. Do those

pathetic feelings forstill linger, despite everything?"

Cherise pressed her lips together, trembling with fear, ready to end the call.

But Sebastian's relentless interrogation continued with a chilling edge. "Did today's wedding bring back memories, Cherise?"

"You and Savannah were quite close back in high school, weren't you?"

"And we both know how sentimental you can be. Remember when Savannah saved your life..."

"If her boyfriend handed her over to me, what would you do?"

Cherise's breath caught in her throat. "Impossible!"

Gritting her teeth, she asked, "Sebastian, what do you want?"

"lI don't want anything," Sebastian replied calmly.

The man's cold chuckle echoed through the phone. "I've been deserted by everyone. My father, my sister—they've all abandoned

me."

"All my assets are frozen, and Damien has seized control of my Weiss Group."

"Your father's punishment has leftcrippled, Cherise. I barely escaped with my life. What more can I do to you?"

His voice dripped with terror as he confessed, "I'm scared."

His words oozed with a chilling mixture of madness and malevolence. "Your family's history and connections terrify me, Cherise."

"I refrain from confronting you directly."

"But there are plenty of other targets..."

"Starting with Savannah, Lucy, Mandy, and the most recent addition... Heather."

Cherise's grip tightened on the phone, her body breaking into a cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and spat, "Sebastian, you're out

of your mind!"

A sinister chuckle emanated from the other end. "Yes, I am insane. But you pushedto this, Cherise."

"I've made up my mind. Before I indulge in their final moments, I'll make sure they understand they're innocent."

"Under no circumstances should they cross paths with you."

Cherise's anger surged, propelling her to rise from the bed, teeth clenched. "How dare you!"

"I've got nothing left," Sebastian's voice held a bitter edge. I want you, but your husband and your father are standing in my way."

"So, I'll have to up my game."

"I've hit rock bottom, no fear left. I'll make sure all your friends stay far away from you..."

"By the way, if memory servesright, your foster father in Shaw's village has two children, doesn't he?"

Cherise's breath caught in her throat. "Sebastian!"

"Fine, that's all I have for now. But remember, block my Whatand number, and you'll miss out on my livestream."

With a menacing click, he hung up abruptly.

Cherise clutched the phone tightly, her heart thumping as if it were a separate entity within her chest, threatening to burst free.

The realization of Sebastian's depravity left her reeling, her mind unable to reconcile such darkness with the world she knew.

What sinister motives drove him to such depths of depravity?

Last night, Beckham revealed that the inspection agency had detained him.

Since he hadn't committed serious crimes like murder or arson—only spreading rumors—there was no solid evidence to convict

him. Therefore, he had to face punishment for civil crimes.
