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 51: An Old "Friend"
As the classes ended, Eira was feeling a weird knot in her stomach. This couldn't be happening; Callian wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
He loved her…
After biting her lip a little bit, she decided to take her phone out. "Right…where is he?"
Eira thought about Liam.
He was gone for a while now, and knowing his cunning character, he would've loved to stick around, especially when Callian was back.
So something wasn't adding up.
First, Callian and this strange woman; second, Liam's strange disappearance; third…her old teacher's death.
How could all these things be connected now?
Liam disappeared the moment Callian woke up, then her teacher died…
"Callian was annoyed by Liam, but he couldn't possibly…" Eira gasped. "No…he wouldn't…"
Eira pushed open the front door and stepped inside, closing it behind her.
