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 93: Vanesa's Rejection
Eira stepped out of her lecture hall, full of thoughts of the situation surrounding Henry and Marion's suspicious death.
Her heart still felt heavy, but she refused to let it weigh her down.
Not today.
She adjusted the strap of her bag and scanned the courtyard, her eyes searched for familiarity.
Then, she saw William.
He stood near the old oak tree, looking relaxed but alert to the surroundings, his hands shoved into the pockets of his leather jacket.
Eira's pace quickened, almost breaking into a run as she made her way to him.
"William!" she called, relief washed over her.
He glanced up but didn't move.
He was calm, unreadable, and as she approached, he tilted his head slightly.
"Where have you been?" Eira demanded, stopping just in front of him. "I've been trying to reach you for days!"
