Craving The Enemy's Husband
She seduced him for revenge… but didn’t expect to crave him passionately.
Christiana Salazar was born into privilege until the night her mother was murdered in cold blood. The culprit? Her own father, driven by a twisted obsession with her ex–best friend, Bella Calamida.
Left with nothing but rage and a ruined name, Christiana plots the ultimate revenge: seduce Bella’s husband and tear her perfect world apart from the inside.
Enter Bryan Adams. Billionaire, dangerously charming, and Bella’s unsuspecting husband. One stolen glance, one calculated touch, and he’s hooked. And when Christiana becomes his irresistible new secretary, playing the part of the loyal employee by day and temptation by night, the game begins.
But the deeper she sinks into Bryan’s world, the harder it becomes to remember why she started this in the first place.
Because the man she’s supposed to use for her revenge makes her heartbeat.
And he just might be the only one who can break her.
Now Christiana must choose: betray the man she’s falling for… or finish what she started and lose him forever.

Chapter: Interview Chapter Eight - Interview Christiana’s POV It's a new day. A step further to my revenge and today, I was going for an interview, to become the secretary to Bella Calamida's husband. I dressed my best and prepared fervently for it. It would be impossible for me not to qualify, matter of fact I overqualified. I had two Bachelor's Degree in Stanford University and Columbia University respectively, and I also have a Master's degree in Pennsylvania University. I am a smart girl, one thing I would give an applause to my father for always was how he invested so much in me, I am endowed with so many qualities. I qualify to be the wife of Prince Charles and even someone more reputable. How much more to be seduced by Bryan Adams, I know my onions. But, there were too many people in the lobby. Way too many. The kind of crowd that made you question your own qualifications, your perfume, your shoes… even your birth certificate. I wasn't sure any more if I would qualify bette

Chapter: Prison Chapter Seven Christiana’s POV The prison smelled like metal, bleach, and regret. The kind of place where hope didn’t just die, it decayed, slowly and loud. I hadn’t been here since the sentencing. I hadn’t wanted to be. I told myself I’d never look him in the eye again. But here I was. The prison guards led me through two checkpoints before nodding toward the visitation window. It was very cold with a metal chair on either side of thick, fingerprint-smudged glass. The phone hanging on my side looked heavier than a normal telephone should be. I wonder what they added to this one that makes it more heavier? These petty kinds of things baffles me a lot and leaves me restless until my curiosity is satisfied with an appropriate answer. He was already seated there, waiting. I paused at the sight of him, rethinking my motive for visiting him. Tony really has a way of making me do things I do not want to do, I wonder how he was able to guilt talk me into this becau

Chapter: Wedding Humiliation Chapter Six Christiana’s POV It had been exactly one week since that kiss, and somehow the world still kept spinning like it didn’t know something inside me had shifted. The sympathy in me has reduced by 40%. I stood in front of the mirror in my hotel room, adjusting the neckline of my black, silk and backless dress. It clung to me like it had been poured onto my skin. It wasn’t revealing in the obvious way, but it isn't something one would forget so easily. I wanted to be remembered. I wanted to be the shadow Bella couldn’t unsee. Tony sat on the armrest of the chair behind me, watching me through the mirror. His jaw was tight, but he didn’t speak. He hadn’t spoken much since that phone call. But he still showed up. Drove me to Dallas. Dressed in a sharp black suit and a look that said, “I shouldn’t be here.” “Last chance to back out,” he muttered as I slipped on my heels. I looked over my shoulder and smiled. “And miss the show? Not a chance.” *** Th

Chapter: Adam's Petroleum and GasChapter Ten Christiana’s POV Present Day – Adams Petroleum and Gas There’s something satisfying about organizing a space from scratch. Like taking control of the chaos in your head and transferring it onto polished surfaces. My new office smelled like fresh leather and ambition. Light streamed through the tall glass windows, catching the gold trim on the framed art and bouncing off the mahogany desk they’d assigned to me. I’d only been here an hour, but everything was already where it needed to be. The folders were arranged by urgency, the pens aligned by color, and the orchid on the corner of my desk stood like a delicate threat...elegant, toxic, beautiful. This was my battlefield now. I smoothed the front of my ivory blouse and adjusted the tiny, golden-framed photo on the shelf, an old portrait of the Adams oil rigs, gleaming in black and white like a memory Bryan probably inherited rather than earned. Everything in the office was spotless, curated, even my own presence. Fro

Chapter: Domineering LoverChapter FourBryan’s POVI shouldn’t have kissed her. The thought pressed against my skull like a migraine, looping in my head without mercy as I steered the car through the quiet streets of Houston. The night was unusually still, but nothing in me was.I couldn’t even recall the exact second it happened, one minute we were talking, just two strangers over drinks, and the next, I was leaning in like a goddamn fool, tasting her lips like they were something I’d been starving for. I didn’t know her name. I didn’t know where she was from or why the hell she felt so alluring. All I knew was the shape of her mouth, the warmth of her breath, the way her fingertips grazed my chest like she belonged there. I didn’t kiss her like a man who was taken. I kissed her like I was lost.I gripped the steering wheel harder, knuckles pale against the leather as I cursed under my breath. What the hell was I thinking? What kind of man does that? What kind of man kisses a woman he just met, barely a we

Chapter: Hook, line ...Chapter ThreeChristiana’s POVTonight wasn’t about fashion. It was about precision, winning the heart of Bryan Adams.The mirror didn’t lie, but even I had to pause. The woman staring back at me wasn’t the one who had cried into her mother’s pillow or slept in oversized sweaters for weeks. She wasn’t the broken thing hiding from the world. She was calculated, composed and deadly.The black dress I chose was more than fabric, it was strategy. It hugged my waist, dipped low at the back, and clung to my hips like a second skin. Classy in the front, sinful in the back. My makeup was soft where it needed to be, striking where it mattered, smoky eyes, feathered brows, and lips painted in a deep red that whispered invitation and danger in the same breath. I let my hair fall in loose, dark waves over my shoulders, untamed, like something about me was just barely held together.Every inch of me screamed one word: unforgettable.“You sure about this?” I asked the girl in the mirror.She just s
