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.”

Eira grabbed an empty glass. "This will collide with your brain."
The man stepped back, putting his hands up. "I'm sorry. I don't want any problems."
"I thought so."
Sana and Eira grabbed their drinks and went back to the dance floor.
She swayed slightly as the bass-heavy music thumped around her, the club lights casted a kaleidoscope of colors on her flushed face.
Eira's first drink had been sweet and light, just as Sana promised.
But then there was another. And another…
The sharp, fizzy sensation on her tongue was addictive, and the warmth that spread through her chest made her feel fearless, even free.
"See? Isn't this better?" Sana said, leaning close so Eira could hear her over the noise.
Eira nodded, her steps felt slightly looser now.
