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.”
Chapter 52 : Callian's Intentions
The car screeched to a stop in front of the hospital. Callian jumped out, cradling Eira tightly in his arms as he rushed toward the entrance.
"Help! I need help!" he shouted as he burst through the doors.
Immediately, two nurses ran over with a stretcher. Callian carefully laid Eira down, his hands lingered for a second on her arm.
One nurse looked at him. "Are you family?"
Callian nodded. "I'm her husband."
The nurse nodded briskly. "Come with us. We'll get her checked in."
He followed the stretcher, watching as they wheeled her down a long corridor, disappearing into a set of double doors.
He stood there for a moment, lost, staring at the doors as they swung shut.
Then, a voice cut into his thoughts. "Callian."
It was Mita, leaning against the wall, arms crossed, a small smile appeared at her lips.
