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.”
Silent Moves
Chapter 125: Silent Moves
Two weeks had passed since the divorce papers were signed, and in those two weeks, Eira had disappeared from the public eye.
No one saw her at university, at her usual coffee shop, or anywhere familiar.
The tabloids speculated wildly about her whereabouts, but Eira couldn't care less.
She was busy building her future.
Her tiny one-bedroom apartment had become her makeshift office.
Papers covered the small dining table, next to her laptop and phone, which rarely stopped ringing.
Eira sat at the table, tapping with her pen rhythmically against a notebook filled with scribbled plans and calculations.
She flipped open her laptop, scanning the names of investors she had contacted.
Most of them were once tied to Henry Blackwood's empire—until they left during his company's recent decline.
"Hello, Mr. Ashford," Eira said into her phone, her voice steady and professional.
