Marrying My Father’s Enemy

Eira Hax, the daughter of a once-wealthy heiress, has spent her entire life in the shadows. Twenty-two years ago, her mother, a kind-hearted but naive woman, was deceived by her husband, a ruthless businessman. He stole her entire fortune and framed her for a crime, sending her to prison, unaware that she was pregnant and secretly battling terminal cancer. Eira’s mother died alone behind bars, but not before giving birth to Eira, entrusting her with a burning desire for revenge. Now, two decades later, Eira returns with one goal: to destroy the man who ruined her mother’s life—her own father. To do so, she strategically marries his most powerful rival, Callian Reed, a man as dangerous as he is influential. Together, they plot to destroy her father’s empire, piece by piece. But as Eira is pulled deeper into a world of business, power and revenge, she’s forced to confront her own problems and decide just how far she’s willing to go to avenge her mother. “I’m not your enemy, darling…you should know that by now.” “Callian, everything you do is not written in our contract. Why are you breaking it?” “The more I learn about you, the more I hate everyone who hurt you. So please, Eira, let me get rid of them for you.”

"You've been standing there for an hour," he finally said.

Eira didn't turn around. "I'm thinking."

"About Henry?"

"About everything," she replied. Her voice was calm, but there was a heaviness to it that made 

Callian stepped closer.

He came to stand beside her, his eyes fixed on her profile. "Talk to me, Eira."

She sighed, her breath turning visible in the cool air.

"I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I thought taking him down would be satisfying, that it would give me peace. But now…" Her voice trailed off.
