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.”

Washing Away The Worries

Chapter 41: Washing Away The Worries

Steam rose gently around them, filling the small bathroom with warmth and softness.

Callian stood behind Eira, moving his hands carefully, thoughtfully, as he worked the water through her hair.

She closed her eyes, feeling the gentle pressure of his fingers on her scalp; standing behind him was comforting her.

As he reached for the bottle of shampoo, Eira opened her eyes, glancing back at him.

"I… I should be helping you," she said in a soft but slightly embarrassed tone. "I mean, you're the one recovering."

"Nonsense. It's a husband's job to take care of his wife," he replied, running his fingers through her wet hair to massage in the shampoo.

The words slipped from him naturally, making her blush.

Eira's heart fluttered, and she tried to hide a smile.

"I suppose I can't argue with you," she whispered, leaning back into his touch.
