Married To The Devil Who Bought My Revenge
On my wedding day, I learned love was just another business transaction.
For five years, I was the invisible backbone of my family’s empire: cleaning their scandals, growing their wealth, and earning a wedding meant to secure our legacy.
Instead, my sister collapsed at the altar and revealed she was pregnant with my fiancé’s child.
Before the cameras, he chose her; my parents chose the stock market, and my father disowned me on the spot.
Twenty-four hours and one drunken mistake later, I woke up in the penthouse of Dominic Adams, the billionaire known as the Butcher of Wall Street.
He offered me everything they took from me: power, protection, and revenge.
All I had to do was say “I do.”
Revenge was supposed to be simple.
Until I started falling for the devil who bought it for me.
But Dominic didn’t choose me by accident.
The deeper I dig into his obsession with my family, the more I realize this marriage isn’t just about vengeance.
It’s about war.
Now I must decide: Save myself… Break the devil who owns my heart… Or stand beside the only man who has ever seen my worth and burn my world to ashes?

Chapter: 049; In the Dark~Ava's POV~“Where should he be?”The lights held.The backup generator kicked in as soon as the power went out, so the penthouse stayed lit while everything else went dark. Small win, at least I could see.Dominic moved before I'd fully processed what was happening. His hand on my arm, firm and immediate, pulling me away from the windows and into the interior of the penthouse in about four steps."Stay here," he said, his voice too calm, which made it kinda scary. "Don't open the door for anyone except me.”"Dominic…""Ava." He stopped. Both hands came to my face, holding me still, making me look at him directly. His eyes were steady and certain and something underneath that was not calm at all. "Three minutes. I'll be back in three minutes."I nodded once.Then he kissed me.Not soft, not slow. The kind that said everything he didn't have time to say out loud, that was full and certain and tasted like something I wasn't going to examine right now because he was already pulling back

Chapter: 048: Siege~Ava's POV~"Someone turned off the eyes."That was Colt. But first, Damien had been sitting outside our building for an hour, and I'd said the thing I'd been carrying for weeks.*****The external cameras confirmed it within three minutes.Damien's car, two blocks down, parked and still. The timestamp on the footage showed forty minutes before Lily found the tracker. He'd been there the whole time we were working, the whole time we were at the board, the whole time he kissed me in the war room.Just sitting.Dominic was on the phone with building security before I'd finished reading Colt's alert. Extra coverage, all exits monitored. Then Colt, then his legal team for the restraining order groundwork. He did it all in about six minutes, standing in the center of the room, completely controlled.I watched him and thought about the first night. The cold, transactional man in the penthouse who had slid a contract across a bed and said *my offer expires when you walk out that door.*That

Chapter: 047: All Roads Lead to Damien~Ava's POV~“He’s the one.”Damien Hart.I sat at the kitchen island and mapped it out in my head. The surveillance equipment outside the building, the leaked email, the driver who'd been in my car since day three. The building access code that traced to Walsh, who traced to Reed, who had been Damien's personal attorney for years.The meeting being arranged around Dominic's mother, with Damien photographed at the building three times in a week.Every single thread. Every time we thought we were looking at Silas or Reed or Victor, Damien was always somewhere in the background, connected, pulling something.I thought about Lily's voice weeks ago. *He's not safe. I'm scared of him.*I totally believed her. I'd believed her then and I believed her more now.Because this wasn't strategy. A man operating from strategy was predictable. Damien was operating from something rawer than that. Total desperation, channeled through resources and connections and a very specific kind of entitlement th

Chapter: 046: The Meeting~Ava's POV~I didn't sleep after Colt left. I stayed in the kitchen island with my notepad and a cold coffee and worked through everything we knew, laying it out in order, looking for the shape underneath it.Victor going public. The press conference. The opening statement was designed to split Dominic and me apart before we could move.And underneath all of it, a detail Colt had buried in his earlier report that I kept coming back to.Dominic's mother. The woman we'd known was alive and connected to Silas. We hadn't fully traced where she was living.Colt had. Three days ago. I'd read it and filed it and hadn't pulled on that thread yet because there was always another fire.She'd been staying with Silas Hale.I sat with that for a very long time.Then I went to find Dominic.*****He was in the war room. It was almost five in the morning and he was at the board, marker in hand, working through something. He turned immediately when I came in.One look at my face and he set the marke

Chapter: 045: Victor's Price~Ava's POV~I was still holding the phone for twenty minutes after Victor hung up.The office door was still half open. I could hear Dominic's voice, low and measured, walking someone through something legal and complicated. The voice of someone who trusted the person sitting across from him in the war room.I thought about the deleted text. The meeting at The Meridian I hadn't told him about. Every time I'd made a unilateral call because I told myself I needed to understand something before I handed it to someone else.Every time it had cost us something.Victor's mask was the same shape as all of those. Small. Arguably justified. For a bigger gain. I could construct the argument for doing it in about thirty seconds, and the argument would even be reasonable. The originals would close the case. Three days instead of three weeks. Dominic's acquisitions were protected.Reasonable.But I knew what Dominic's face looked like when I'd told him about the deleted text. I knew what it had c

Chapter: 044: The Trap Snaps Shut~Ava's POV~I stared at the SEC alert on my screen and made myself look at it clearly.Not with panic, not with the kind of rage that made you reactive and stupid. Just clearly.And it was well-constructed. That was the part that kept snagging on me.Reed had offered immunity. He'd packaged it beautifully, with the affidavit and the careful legal language and the timing that made it feel like we were the ones who'd cornered him. He'd made us feel like we were winning, so we'd leaned in. Moved forward with confidence. Shown more of our hand than we'd intended because we thought the game was almost over.And while we were doing that, he was standing at a filing desk submitting a false SEC complaint that was now formally open.Classic misdirection. Give your opponent something that looks like the finish line so they break into a run exactly when they should be watching their feet."He's been running this play from the beginning," I said."Yes." Dominic's voice was very controlled. "He kn
