Married To My Husband’s Father
In her first life, he took everything from her. Now, in this life, she demands her revenge. Evelyn King was the perfect pawn in high society, a demure, devoted fiancée to billionaire heir Julian Vance, blissfully unaware of the corruption lurking behind his charming smile. But everything changes after a deadly, rigged car crash and the agonizing discovery of Julian’s affair with her childhood best friend, Chloe. Evelyn sees the brutal truth: her marriage was a setup, her wealth a target, and her death orchestrated for profit. Instead of fading into oblivion, she wakes up ten years in the past, on the morning of the Vance Summer Gala, the night Julian plans to announce their engagement and trap her forever. Refusing to play the pawn, Evelyn makes a bold, deadly choice. She leaves behind the boy dressed in pretenses and walks straight to Arthur Vance Julian's estranged and ruthless father, a formidable financial titan ruling high society with an iron fist. Armed with secrets from her previous life, including a dark ledger revealing that Julian isn't even Arthur’s biological son, Evelyn proposes a scandalous marriage of convenience. By uniting her family's voting power with Arthur's, they aim to strip Julian of his inheritance before he even realizes the war has begun. The society is appalled. Julian’s fury spirals into madness, a psychotic rage convinced Evelyn is a greedy viper who stole his birthright. Yet, what Julian and the media fail to see is that Evelyn’s alliance with Arthur is more than a scheme for money; she’s stepping into a den of wolves. As they delve into a decades-old family conspiracy, the icy contract between them begins to ignite with a dangerous, possessive passion.

Chapter: Chapter 144: It’s a TrapHe wore no helmet, no tactical vest. He stood tall in his dark grey wool coat, his hands resting loosely in his pockets, his sharp grey eyes staring straight through the glass at Chloe’s pale face. "Trap..." Chloe whispered, the word tasting like ash in her mouth. "It's a trap." She stepped back from the window, her hands shaking so hard she nearly dropped her pistol. Her mind raced wildly, spinning through every exit, every calculation, every lie she had told herself over the last three days. They knew I was coming, she realized with a cold, sickening jolt. They left the gate open. They invited me inside. "Keller!" Chloe screamed, turning toward the stairs. "Get down here! We need to take a hostage—" She stopped. On the ground floor landing, Keller stood with his hands raised high above his head. The three harbor guards had already dropped their crowbars and iron tools onto the marble floor. They stood with their palms flat against the wall, their faces pale with pure, unadult

Chapter: Chapter 143: TrappedChloe laughed again, a harsh, jagged sound. "You think you're the master of this house, Arthur? You're just sharing a bed with a ghost who's waiting to slit your throat!" Arthur did not flinch. He did not ask a single question. He did not show a single crack of doubt or surprise on his stern, carved face. He simply raised his left hand two inches and snapped his fingers once. From the shadows behind him, Logan and two tactical officers stepped forward instantly, ignoring Chloe’s screaming laughter. Before Chloe could take another breath, Logan’s heavy hands clamped down over her shoulders with the strength of a hydraulic press. He wrenched her arms behind her back with brutal, efficient force, slamming a pair of heavy steel handcuffs around her wrists. "Get your hands off me!" Chloe screamed, her manic laughter instantly vanishing, replaced by furious, wild rage as she kicked her boots against the marble floor. "Let me go! You don't know what's coming!” Arthur turned his b

Chapter: Chapter 139: A Trap!The dark, damp night air over the northern hills was heavy with the smell of wet ground and pine needles. A heavy, unbranded white utility van crept along the winding mountain road without its headlights on, its engine muted by a custom silencer. It rolled to a slow, silent stop fifty yards short of the massive gates of Safe House Three. The side door of the van slid open with a dry scrape. Chloe jumped down onto the damp gravel, her canvas sneakers landing silently. She wore her oversized black wool sweater, her dark beanie pulled low over her forehead, and her pistol gripped tightly in her right hand, her finger resting just outside the trigger guard. Behind her, Keller and the three other guards dropped out of the van. Each man carried tools—hydraulic bolt cutters, a powered angle grinder, and crowbars. Their breath plumed white in the cold mountain air. "Is this the place?" Briggs whispered, stepping up beside Chloe and wiping his nose with the back of his dirty glove.
