His Bride: Their Ruin
“Marry me, Vera Mactthorn,” he said evenly. “And I promise I’ll bring all your enemies to their knees.”
———
After being missing for two years and six months, Vera returns from the hands of her kidnappers expecting to find her husband and family waiting for her. Instead, she comes home to betrayal.
Not only did her family fail to look for her, they quietly erased her from the family tree, taking everything she worked for and throwing her to the wolves.
With no home, no money, and nowhere to turn, Vera’s life takes a darker turn when she is accused for something she didn’t do. That is where she meets Orion Blackwood—New York’s most feared and powerful businessman. The man her husband idolized. The man her father hated. The man who offers her a deal no one else would dare make.
Marriage.
Orion promises her protection, power, and revenge. He offers her a new name, a new life, and the chance to destroy everyone who buried her alive. What he does not tell her is that he is far more connected to her past than she realizes.
As Vera and Orion navigate a dangerous world of power, secrets, and revenge, a fragile bond begins to form, one neither of them planned for. But both are hiding truths capable of destroying everything they are building.
When the revenge is complete and the secrets come to light, will love be enough to survive the betrayal?
Or will the truth cost them everything?

Chapter: Chapter 4:ORIONShe was even more ethereal in person.The thought crossed Orion’s mind the moment he saw her.He could have sent one of his men. It would have been faster and easier. But he knew better. Vera wouldn’t follow a stranger, not after everything she’d survived.And yet, here she was.“Where are we going?” she asked softly.They sat in the backseat of his car. Orion watched her from the corner of his eye. She was coiled tight, flinching at every shift of his weight, one hand tucked beneath her thigh like she needed to anchor herself.He didn’t like that.“To eat,” he said. “I told you earlier.”“Yes. But why?”“Why do people eat, Vera? Because they are hungry?”She rolled her eyes, he smirked.“I mean—“ she let out a soft, tired huff. Her eyes were red, swollen from tears or lack of sleep. She looked thinner than the photos he had seen—perhaps from years of modeling. “You still haven’t told me who you are. And now you’re taking me to eat. Should I be worried? Are you going to kill me

Chapter: Chapter 3:VERA“The earlier you confess, Ms. Vera, the better for you. I’m afraid all evidence points to you. There is no going back from this.” The officer’s words had been repeated a hundred times already, each repetition embedding itself into Vera’s mind, twisting her chest with dread. The words were like iron chains, binding and suffocating her, reminding her over and over that she had nowhere to hide.“And I’m telling you, officer… I have no idea what these companies are. Fraud? Money laundering? I… I don’t even know what you are speaking of.” Vera’s voice trembled, raw and hoarse, her throat dry as sandpaper. Tears had long since dried on her cheeks, leaving streaks of salt and dust. Her body vibrated with numbness, every limb heavy and uncooperative. Her heart felt like it was being crushed from all sides. The day, the hours, the endless betrayals—it couldn’t have been worse. She didn’t know what to do or where to turn.The officer’s pen scratched against the file. He didn’t look up. “Th

Chapter: Chapter 2:VERAVera sat because she had no other choice.Her body no longer felt like something she controlled. Her legs shook as she lowered herself onto the cold white iron chair, fingers gripping its arms until her knuckles numbed.Didi took the seat opposite her.Only then did Vera really look.Her breath hitched.Didi was wearing her dress. Not just something similar, hers. The same cut, the same fit. Her shoes. Her jewelry. Pieces of Vera’s life draped over another woman’s body, worn with careless ease.The realization landed like a slow, sinking ache.“Charles, honey,” Didi said sweetly. “Come sit.”She glanced at Vera, lips curving faintly. “Our girl here is going to need support.”Charles moved immediately.Not toward Vera.Away.He dragged his chair farther back before sitting beside Didi, close enough that their arms nearly touched. His gaze flicked to Vera once, uneasy, then slid away.Something inside her cracked.“What… what is going on?” Vera asked. Her voice sounded small to her

Chapter: Chapter 1VERAThe scraping of her knee against the pavement was nothing compared to the joy and relief swelling in Vera’s chest as she saw her home again.The car sped off, leaving dust and debris behind, but she didn’t look back. Tears blurred her vision as exhaustion finally claimed her body. Years of survival weighed on every muscle; each breath felt earned. She was back.Vera tipped her face toward the sky, letting warm sunlight wash over her. Tears slid down her cheeks as a long, unsteady sigh escaped her lips.The sky had never looked so beautiful.Her legs trembled as she stood, weak from the journey that had carried her away for nearly three years.With a soft, watery smile, she pushed open the iron-barred gate. The screech of metal against metal rang out, harsh, ugly, and perfect. She lingered, fingers curled around the cold steel, grounding herself in the reality of her return.Nothing had changed.Her home.Tears burned again, but she forced them back. They could wait. They would co
