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.”

Vanesa’s Assault

Chapter 27: Vanessa's Assault

-Two weeks later~

Eira sat down; her mind was far away from the lecture.

She didn't look at William, who had quietly taken the seat beside her.

She kept her eyes ahead, not being able to focus; she was thinking about Callian only.

He still hadn't woken up from the coma.

The professor's voice faded into the background, blending with the students around her.

Every so often, she felt William glance in her direction, as if waiting for her to say something. But she stayed silent.

When the lecture finally ended, Eira gathered her books.

She noticed Vanesa across the room, smirking at her. Eira showed irritation but forced herself to ignore it, dismissing Vanesa's presence as unimportant.

William stayed by her side.

He walked with her through the hall, keeping his face gentle and uncertain. After a long pause, he broke the silence.
