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 62: Collision
The loud scrape of chairs echoed through the classroom as the lecture ended.
Students rose, chatting and gathering their belongings.
Eira stuffed her notebook into her bag, focusing on leaving before Vanesa could corner her again. But her efforts were in vain.
Vanesa appeared in front of her, blocking her path with a smug smile.
Her plastered forehead gleamed under the fluorescent lights, and her turtleneck looked even more out of place now that the room was stuffy and warm.
"Well, Eira," Vanesa began, crossing her arms, "I had some time to think during class, and I realised something."
Eira sighed, already exhausted by the confrontation. "What is it now, Vanesa?"
Vanesa leaned closer, her voice dripping with venom. "Callian," she said, a cruel smile spreading across her face. "He's absolutely wonderful in bed. Did you know that?"
