Married by Contract to My Killer: Julia’s Third Life
“If I could not escape in peace as the victim, then this time, I would be the executioner. This time… I would kill him first.”
Forced into a marriage of convenience to secure the Sinclair family’s billion-dollar inheritance, Julia spends ten years trapped with a cold and unfaithful husband. On the very day she is finally supposed to be free, she is betrayed, humiliated… and murdered by her own husband and his lover.
But she wakes up on her wedding day.
Protected by an amulet passed down through the women of her family, she relives the same cycle for the third time. In her previous attempts, running away and submitting did not prevent her death. Now, Julia decides to change the rules: instead of trying to survive, she will seek revenge.
Colder and more dangerous, Julia begins manipulating the Sinclair power games while growing closer to Caleb, her husband’s best friend, the only man who ever treated her as a choice rather than an obligation. Scarred by deep trauma, Julia struggles to trust again, while Caleb slowly wins her over with respect, consistency, and loyalty.
Amid love triangles, betrayals, family secrets, and premeditated murder, Julia plans to destroy Michael, frame his lover, and bring down the empire that imprisoned her.
But the greatest choice will not be revenge.
It will be allowing herself to love again.

Chapter: Chapter 8: Silk and LouboutinsJulia.It was insane to think that something so small could be so expensive. A piece of lingerie was nothing more than a tiny scrap of fabric, yet it managed to be so sensual and so soft that just touching it made me want to wear it.I ran my fingers along the rack and picked up another piece. This one was bolder than the last, a black silk lace thong and a sheer bra.I turned and showed it to Caleb. The almost hypnotized look in his eyes didn’t surprise me. I had felt the weight of his gaze the entire time my back had been turned.“What do you think of this one?” I asked, feeling his eyes trace the piece and move through my body. He tilted his head. It was obvious he was imagining me wearing it.Exactly as I had planned when I chose to meet him here.A few moments of intense, charged silence passed, the black lace still between my fingers. I smiled slightly, in a provocative way.“So?” I asked, slowly spinning the hanger between my fingers. “Does this suit me… or is it too much?”“T

Chapter: Chapter 7: The MeetingCaleb.When my phone lit up with a message from Julia, I frowned, not quite believing what I was reading for a few moments. If it had been anyone else, I would have ignored it and continued with the meeting, but unlike how often I thought about her, she rarely texted me.I brought my hand to my chin, sliding my finger over my lower lip. What could she possibly want to talk to me about that Michael shouldn’t know? I had no idea, but if I was being honest, I would do anything to have some time alone with her.Michael might be my best friend, but he doesn’t want her, doesn’t even see her as a real woman. Even though I respect him enough not to cross any serious boundaries, I still can’t resist the chance to be with her.I type my reply and send it without thinking about the consequences.“Caleb?” Michael’s voice pulls me back. I lift my gaze to him. “Your opinion on the shares.”I adjust myself in the chair, looking at the folder in front of me and then at the charts projected on the sc

Chapter: Chapter 6: Tantrums and SunLanna was standing on the other side of the bedroom door, her body rigid, her eyes wide and blazing with fury. The sheet was still loosely wrapped around my body, revealing enough to make it obvious what had happened, and I made no effort to cover myself better.On the contrary.I crossed my arms beneath the fabric and tilted my head, watching her with the kind of calm that irritated."Yes…?" I asked."What…" Her voice came out shaky, filled with disbelief, her eyes still scanning my body. "…what is this?"I smiled. "This?" I asked, briefly glancing at myself before looking back at her. "My honeymoon."She blinked, as if her brain struggled to keep up. "Honeymoon?" she repeated, almost mockingly.I shrugged. "What were you expecting, Lanna?" I said with false innocence. "I’m his wife. We just got married. It was obvious I was going to bed with my husband."The words hit her like a slap."You couldn’t…" she stepped forward, fists clenched. "…you had no right!"I let out a short, humo

Chapter: Chapter 5: Femme fataleWhen the reception ended, it was already past two in the afternoon. The ceremony had taken place in the morning, but the reception included a generous lunch for the guests. As everything was coming to an end, the guests came to congratulate us.Caleb approached soon after speaking with Michael. He took my hand and kissed it delicately.“You look beautiful, Julia,” he said, lifting his gaze to meet mine with admiration and courtship.“Thank you,” I replied, offering him a seductive smile. “You look great too, and it was wonderful to have you here. I hope we can see each other again soon.”He raised his eyebrows, surprised by my comment, then smiled.“I hope so too.” For a moment he seemed to forget that we were at my wedding, but his eyes soon slipped away from mine and found Michael at my side, a possessive and disapproving air radiating from him. Caleb withdrew his hand and straightened his posture. “Have a good honeymoon with Michael.”As he walked away, I turned my gaze to Michael

Chapter: Chapter 4: Wine and canapésLanna looked at me with so much hatred and disgust that I believe, if she could kill me with a glance, she would have done it right then and there.In part, I could understand her frustration. Lanna and Michael were an old, burning, mutual passion, the kind that survives years without ever cooling. It was only natural that both of them resented not being able to marry.The problem was that this resentment had found a target far too convenient. Me.I was not to blame if her man loved inheritance money more than he loved her. I was not the one who drafted that cursed contract. I was not the one who tied inheritance and marriage together as if they were the same thing.In the end, it made no sense for me to be blamed for their misery, but logic has never been a requirement for hatred.Because in the silent narrative Lanna had built inside her own mind, I was the perfect villain. The obstacle wife. The greedy woman who had stolen her rightful place.The ceremony went on like a well rehear

Chapter: Chapter 3: Third time’s the charmI had some time to think before they came to get me for the ceremony.For all intents and purposes, this is my third life. “Third time’s the charm,” or something like that, that’s what people say, anyway. Well, now we would see if it was true.I walked over and stood in front of the mirror for a moment, looking myself up and down. I had not chosen that dress, much less the hairstyle.I would never wear my hair like that. As classic and elegant as the bun was, I hated it. And that dress… God, I hated the sleeves. The waist was barely defined. It felt like Michael wanted to erase me.I placed my hands on my hips and decided that this would be the first change, a subtle way to take control of my life again. Well, my third life.There was just one problem. I could not do it alone. This was a job for at least two people. I needed help.But almost everyone at that wedding belonged to Michael’s social circle. Only one person there was truly my guest. In my previous life, I probably would not

Chapter: Chapter 152: The Final Act of Love“What…?” He blinked, confused, as if his mind hadn’t processed my words.“There was never a child,” I continued. “It was part of the plan. The only way to make you lower your guard, to ensure you wouldn’t kill me before the right moment. The Karin bloodline ends here. With you.”His face went pale, his mouth falling open without a sound as the shock spread through him. He seemed to be trying to reorganize the world inside his head, but everything was collapsing too fast.“So…” his voice broke along with his gaze. “So nothing we lived… nothing was real? It was all part of your plan?”The question hurt more than I expected.I stayed silent for a few seconds, feeling its weight.“Who knows…” I exhaled. “Maybe it was all just a cruel joke by the Goddess in the end.”He kept staring at me, searching for meaning in my words, while my gaze drifted to the ceiling before returning to him, spilling the truth I had denied for so long.“But it was real to me,” I said. “The passion, the desire, th

Chapter: Chapter 151: The Final MoveThe transformation came like a long, heavy sigh.The bones retreated, the skin reformed, and my world returned to a human scale. My paws became bloodstained hands, and the metallic taste lingered in my mouth even after the fangs disappeared.I remained standing for a few seconds without moving, simply feeling my body relearn how to exist that way, as if every muscle needed permission to obey again. The adrenaline was still racing through my veins.I took a deep breath.The room had been reduced to a heap of glass, wood, and blood. A sight far worse and far more violent than when Iris and Onix had fought. I lowered my gaze again; before me, Roamur’s body lay motionless on the floor, his throat torn open, his eyes empty.I had killed my parents’ executioner. I had completed my vengeance.At least that part of it.Slowly, I raised my face toward the two-way mirror.On the other side stood my tormentor, the one who had to pay not only for the sins carried in his blood, but for those commi

Chapter: Chapter 150: EndureViolet.The first growl tore through the air before I even had time to think.It didn’t come only from my throat, it came from Iris, from the depths of our shared chest, from an ancient place where pain never healed.Roamur answered in the same language, a deep sound laden with challenge, power, and the arrogance that had always defined him. Two predators recognizing each other, two blood-bound destinies colliding.We leapt at one another.The impact was violent. We rolled across the bedroom floor, furniture hurled against the walls, wood splintering under the weight of bodies that no longer knew restraint. Claws met flesh, fangs missed by inches, hot breaths mingled with the immediate scent of blood.He was strong, stronger than Rayan, stronger than me.Roamur slammed me into the wall with a brutal strike. The air was knocked from my lungs in a painful crash. The world spun for a moment, stars dancing before my eyes, but I refused to fall. I twisted my body at the last second, diggi

Chapter: Chapter 149: Her PlanRayan.The first thing I felt was the headache.An uncomfortable pressure behind my eyes, as if someone had squeezed my skull from the inside and forgotten to let go. A strange heaviness, accompanied by a bitter taste in my mouth and an abnormal slowness in my thoughts.I opened my eyes slowly, still feeling the weight of my eyelids lifting, and stared at my surroundings, shrouded in dense darkness.For a second that lasted far too long, I thought I was still asleep, that the room was simply unlit, that Violet was beside me, that all of it was nothing more than the remnants of a bad dream.Until I tried to move.The cold and weight of metal around my wrists hit me before my brain could even form the right question. A jolt of reality tore through my body, and the air seemed heavier in my lungs. I inhaled deeply, instinctively trying to pull my arms with all my strength.The suppression chains answered with a sharp yank, an invisible pressure that drained my strength as if it had never

Chapter: Chapter 148: A ConsequenceI remained standing at the threshold of the bedroom, staring at Roamur as if the mere act of breathing the same air as him were an affront to the Goddess. My entire body reacted to his presence, my muscles too tense, my fists clenching tightly.Iris stirred beneath my skin, feeling the same ancient, primal hatred, one that time could never erase.For an instant, the memory struck like a blow.Roamur tearing my father’s throat open with his claws, my mother running toward him, and her mutilated body that I only saw later, already hanging from the standard.My parents’ bodies were not the only thing Roamur destroyed, he destroyed my life as well.I felt disgust flood me, burning through my veins, a wave of heat rising in my chest, demanding violence, demanding justice. I swallowed hard and forced my shoulders to relax.No, not yet.This was the moment I had waited for, for years. Not as a frightened girl, not as a prisoner, not as a disposable piece on someone else’s board.I had waited

Chapter: Chapter 147: Three CupsWhen I returned to the bedroom, silence greeted me like an old accomplice. The door closed behind me with a soft click. I locked it carefully, turning the key twice. And for a moment, I stood still in the center of the room, taking a deep breath, feeling the weight of the air, which seemed denser than usual.Rayan still hadn’t returned yet. The bed was untouched, the sheets far too smooth for what I knew they would soon become mere memory.My heart was pounding, but my hands were steady.I leaned against the dresser and faced my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were darker, resolute in a way I barely recognized anymore. All that lived in them was the darkness that had devoured me in that dungeon. The darkness I had become a part of in order to survive.I had no time to waste, so I turned away and began the ritual.I carefully removed the herbs hidden in the sleeve of my dress, placing them on a clean cloth. My hands moved with almost reverent precision. I had prepared infusions befor
