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.”

The Showdown

Chapter 37: The Showdown

The room was filled with men and women in polished suits.

It was Henry's last-minute investor meeting, hastily arranged in a gleaming, glass-walled conference room on top of his company headquarters—Dominion Resources.

He was pacing at the front, jaw tight, while the investors murmured among themselves, exchanging quite skeptical glances.

They'd all seen the headlines.

Every one of them had witnessed the fallout from the scandal Henry had created—and many had already grown weary of the drama.

He stopped abruptly and clapped his hands to demand silence.

"All right, everyone," he said, forcing a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice. Let's get right to it. Dominion Resources is stronger than ever, and this mess with my daughter won't change that."

A few people shifted in their seats, clearly unconvinced by this strange confidence.
