MARRIED TO MY ENEMY’S SON
WerewolfGoodgirlBetrayalForgiveness
Selina Okoye never expected to find herself standing at the altar of the Bellington family chapel, dressed in white, preparing to marry the son of the man who destroyed everything she held dear. Forced into a marriage she didn’t choose, Selina enters the Bellington world with one goal: survive, protect what’s left of her family, and leave the moment she can.
Determined to never forgive the Bellingtons, Selina plans to endure the marriage for the sake of her family’s survival and leave when the time is right. But Adrian is nothing like his father. And as cracks form in her hate, feelings she thought were impossible begin to grow. Just when trust begins to bloom, Selina uncovers a dark family secret one that threatens to break everything they’ve started to build. Can two enemies turned strangers find love in a marriage built on pain? Or will the past destroy their future before it even begins? 
This is a billionaire enemies-to-lovers romance soaked in tension, betrayal, and the slow, aching burn of two people who were never supposed to fall for each other but do anyway. For fans of dark romance, forced marriage tropes, and slow-burn emotional tension, Married to My Enemy’s Son delivers heartache and heat in equal measure.

Chapter: Chapter 12 — Echoes of the PastThe sun cast long shadows over the ancient city of Prague, its golden hues dancing upon the cobblestone streets. The city’s timeless beauty stood in stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within me. I had woken early. Earlier than Adrian, which was unusual he was typically the one already at the window with his coffee when I emerged, looking as though he had never quite gone to sleep. But this morning the suite was quiet, the study door closed, and the only sounds were the distant bells of a church somewhere in the old quarter counting out the hour.I dressed quietly and went out alone.It was not something I had planned. I had simply needed air, and movement, and the particular kind of thinking that only happened when I was walking. Prague offered all of those things in abundance. The city was extraordinary in the early morning ancient and unhurried, its stone bridges and baroque spires still wrapped in the low mist that came off the river, its streets not yet crowded with the day’

Chapter: Chapter 11 — The Eye of the StormThe cold silence in the room was louder than any argument we could have had.Adrian sat at the edge of the hotel bed, his head bowed, fingers laced tightly together. I stood near the window, watching the slow drizzle outside blur the lights of Prague. We had not planned to come here. Prague had not been on any itinerary, not part of any step in the careful, methodical plan we had been building since Dubai. But plans have a way of dissolving when events move faster than the people trying to manage them. The SEC filing had triggered something we hadn’t fully anticipated a response from Cole’s side that had been faster, and more dangerous, than either of us had accounted for.We had forty-eight hours of warning. Enough to move. Not enough to feel safe.Now we were here, in a hotel room above a cobblestone street in a city that had nothing to do with us, and the silence between us was doing the thing it had stopped doing weeks ago pressing in, filling the space with everything unsaid.I

Chapter: Chapter 10 — The Weight of TruthWe came home from Dubai on a Sunday.The flight was quiet. Adrian worked through most of it reviewing legal documents, responding to messages, doing the ten thousand things that running a company the size of Bellington Holdings apparently required even at thirty thousand feet. I sat beside him and read, or tried to, and watched the clouds shift and thin outside the window and thought about Orion’s face in the gallery courtyard when he had said: Your father was a good man.The envelope sat in my bag. I had not opened it on the flight. I had not opened it in Dubai, not that night in the hotel suite when I had sat on the edge of the bed with it in my hands for a long time before setting it on the nightstand. I was not ready for it yet. I understood this about myself without judgment some things you need to circle before you can enter them. Some truths are too heavy to absorb standing still.I would open it at home.Home. I noticed the word and let it settle without examining it too clos

Chapter: Chapter 9 — Shadows Beneath the GoldDubai was Adrian’s idea.He had explained it three days after the lunch with Vera Adeyemi, when I had returned to the penthouse with her name for Cole and a set of handwritten notes she had agreed to provide fragments of memory, specific dates, details of the conversations she remembered with a clarity that only guilt preserves. Adrian had read through everything I’d written twice, in silence, with the focused concentration he applied to all things. Then he had set the papers down and said, very quietly:“There’s a man in Dubai.”I had looked up from my own notes. “Who?”“Someone who used to work for the holding company Cole routed the money through.” He slid a printed profile across the desk. “He left Bellington Holdings eight years ago. Left Dubai shortly after. Has been operating independently as a private financial consultant ever since. Goes by Orion in certain circles.” He paused. “He reached out to me six months ago through an intermediary. Said he had information relevant to a

Chapter: Chapter 8 — Whisper in the WindI found Vera Adeyemi on a Tuesday.Not through any dramatic investigation through Priya, who maintained Adrian’s social calendar with the meticulous efficiency of someone who had been doing it long enough to anticipate needs before they were spoken. I had asked, casually, whether the Foundation had any upcoming events that former board-adjacent figures might attend. Priya had produced a list within the hour. Vera Adeyemi, now semi-retired from corporate consulting, sat on the advisory committee of a financial literacy nonprofit that the Bellington Foundation had co-sponsored for the past four years.There was a lunch. Next Thursday. Twelve people. Riverside restaurant, private dining room.I told Adrian that evening in the study.He looked at the details I’d printed and set them on the desk. Looked at them for a long moment without speaking. Then he looked up at me.“You move fast,” he said.“I move when there’s something to move toward.”Something at the corner of his mouth shifted.

Chapter: Chapter 7 — The Cost of VowsThe word together changed things in ways I hadn’t fully anticipated.Not dramatically. Not overnight. There was no single morning where I woke up and found that the walls between us had come down or the careful distances we maintained had collapsed. It was smaller than that. Subtler. The kind of change that happens in the margins in the way a conversation lasts five minutes longer than it used to, in the way silences stop feeling like standoffs and start feeling like something closer to rest.We began meeting in the study after dinner.It started practically Adrian had laid out everything he’d gathered over two years, the fragments of correspondence, the financial records with inconsistencies too small for a casual audit to catch, the timeline he’d constructed of events leading up to my father’s accusation. Spread across his desk, it looked like the skeleton of something enormous. Old enough to have yellowed at the edges. Deliberate enough to make your blood run cold.I brought what I
