Chapter 804 Bridal Intervention
Raymond crumpled under Damienâs relentless fists, a whimpering mess.
Begging for mercy had long been abandoned, replaced by a suffocating silence.
Damien, a furnace of rage fueled by years of betrayal, rained down blows.
Each blow was a prayer for his shattered parents, every punch a demand for blood. He was a whirlwind of fury, oblivious to Raymondâs fading pulse.
But just as Raymondâs breath hitched, a hand clamped onto Damienâs arm. It was Zachary, the extraordinary groom, looking sharp in his suit despite being confined to a wheelchair.
His voice, frail as a feather, cut through the air, âPlease donât turn my wedding into a slaughterhouse, Dame. Lyra, my angel, doesnât deserve this.â
Damien froze, the inferno in his chest flickering like a dying candle.
He swiveled his head, his gaze landing on Zacharyâs pale face and Lyra, a tear-streaked vision in white, standing beside him.
Weak as a newborn kitten, Zachary had somehow extinguished the flames of Damienâs fury.
A hush fell over the room, everyone stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Then, Cherise shattered the silence.
âZac! Youâre awake?!â she exclaimed, her voice a rollercoaster of surprise and elation.
Bouncing excitedly, she rushed towards him, âonly to collide with Kareen, a silent sentinel nearby.
In a whirlwind of joy, Kareen surged towards Zachary, her cry of âZac!â echoing through the room.
She flung herself at him, and Zachary playfully tousled her hair. He teased, his eyes twinkling, âEasy there, big girl. Remember your manners because people are watching.â
Kareen, her face shining with tears, held him close. âIâm justâŠso happy!â
She gasped. âYouâre finally awake! Zac, IâŠI thought⊠I thought I wouldnât be able to see you again!â
Zachary chuckled, shaking his head playfully. âWith a brainiac sister like you,â he winked at Kareen, âandââ his gaze softened as he turned to Lyra, who peeked out from behind him, eyes glistening, âand with a stunning lady like my partner here, waking up was the easiest decision ever.â
Kareen, lips pursed in mock disapproval, popped up from Zacharyâs embrace.
She grabbed Lyra, hidden behind him, and gently pushed her into his arms. She teased him. âWell, shouldnât you two lovebirds be heading to the honeymoon suite by now?â
Lyraâs face turned as red as a ripe apple while Zachary smirked like a cat who got the cream. He tilted his head towards Cherise, perched like a watchful bird in the corner. âSpeaking of honeymoon suites, I wouldnât mind some alone time with my bride. However, given my current condition, Dr. Shaw, do you

Cheriseâs eyes shimmered with concern. âArenât you a bit banged up for that? Maybe a trip to the hospital first, then some intimate time later?â
âAnd some food! You need your strength, dude. Lyraâs a delicate flower. We wouldnât want her taking the lead, right?â Damien interjected, pushing a defeated Raymond aside and fixing his cufflinks nonchalantly.
He smirked, his eyes flicking to Cherise, who flushed even brighter.
âAha! So, THATâs why everyoneâs so excited today? Getting married is the new aphrodisiac, huh?â Syatt chimed in with bright eyes.
