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.”

A Storm Of Loss

Chapter 149: A Storm of Loss

The gunshot cracked through, splitting the tension into chaos.

Eira froze as if time had slowed. 

Her breath hitched, her mind seemed to be unable to comprehend what had just happened. 

She saw the flash of the gun, the sharp Konrad's finger on the trigger, but it was too late to react.

Her body braced for the impact, but a body leapt in front of her—Callian. 

The first bullet struck him square in the shoulder, the force spinned him slightly as he cried out in pain. 

Blood sprayed across the ground as he staggered, his hands instinctively clutching the wound.

"Callian!" Eira screamed, reaching for him, but the second bullet tore through her side before she could react.

A searing pain exploded through her body, and her legs buckled. 

She hit the ground hard, her fingers clawing at her side as warmth spread beneath her hand.

 Blood. So much blood.
