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.”

So It Begins…

Chapter 35: So It Begins

Saturday morning dawned quietly, the sky overcast as Eira stood by the window, watching the empty street below. 

The city looked still, but inside, her mind was like an ocean of calculations and decisions.

She picked up her phone and dialed. It rang twice before Anna picked up.

"Eira, I was just about to call you," Anna said briskly.

"Good. Tell me the status."

"We've got three reporters on standby, two tabloids, and a business channel. If Henry so much as breathes out of line, they'll be on him like sharks," Anna said.

"Perfect," Eira replied, though her voice sounded more distant than usual. "And the documents? Have they been served?"

"Not yet. They'll be delivered to his office this afternoon."

Eira was more than satisfied. "I want him cornered. He needs to feel the walls closing in. This time, he'll have no escape."

"You're a natural at this, Eira. Ruthless."

Eira didn't reply.
