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.”

Reckoning

Chapter 89: Reckoning

Vanesa didn't know how long she stayed curled up on her bed.

Her face throbbed where her father had slapped her, but it wasn't the pain that stung.

It was the realisation of how little she meant to him.

Her father, the man she had worshipped her entire life, had called her useless.

The word stuck in her mind like a cruel chant.

She sat up, wiping her swollen eyes.

The room felt cold, lonely... Usually, at this time, she would throw a tantrum, but not today.

Her chest tightened. It was suffocating her breathing.

"I'm not useless," she whispered to herself.

But her voice shook, betraying the doubt she couldn't ignore.

A knock sounded at her door, soft but firm.

She stiffened, wondering if it was Henry coming to make amends.

For a fleeting second, hope was flying inside her.

"Come in," she said, her voice hoarse.

The door opened, and Beatrice stepped inside.
