MARRIED TO MY ENEMY BILLIONAIRE

The church was silent.Too silent.Lina’s fingers trembled as she held her bouquet, her eyes fixed on the empty entrance.“He’ll come,” someone whispered behind her.But deep down, she already knew the truth.He wasn’t coming.Five minutes passed.Then ten.Then the whispers started growing louder.“Did the groom run away?”“How embarrassing…”Her chest tightened, and suddenly, breathing felt like a punishment.This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life.Instead, it was turning into a nightmare.Just as she was about to step down from the altar, the church doors burst open.Relief flooded her chest.He came.But the moment she saw him… her world shattered.He wasn’t alone.Her fiancé walked in, holding another woman’s hand.A woman in a tight red dress… smiling like she had just won.“I’m sorry, Lina,” he said casually, not even meeting her eyes. “I can’t marry you.”The bouquet slipped from her hands.“What…?” her voice came out as a whisper.“I’m in love with her,” he cont

The air inside the church felt suffocating.Every whisper.Every stare.Every judgmental glance—It all came crashing down on Lina the moment she stepped back in.But this time…She wasn’t alone.Gasps echoed through the hall as heads turned.“Isn’t that—?”“Who is that man?”“He’s even more handsome than the groom…”Lina’s grip tightened around his arm.Her heart was racing, but she forced herself to walk forward.Steady.Calm.Untouchable.Beside her, he moved with effortless confidence, like he owned the entire room.Like this was all part of his plan.Maybe it was.They reached the front.The priest looked confused.“Miss Lina… what is going on?”Before she could speak—He did.“We’re getting married,” he said smoothly.Silence.Then chaos.“What?!”“Is this some kind of joke?”Her aunt stood up abruptly.“Lina, have you lost your mind?! Who is this man?”Lina swallowed hard.This was it.No turning back.She lifted her chin.“He’s my fiancé,” she said.The lie rolled off her tong

Morning came too fast.Lina barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she remembered where she was…Who she was with.And the fact that one wall—One thin wall—Was all that separated her from Adrian.Her husband.The word still felt unreal.She sat up slowly, rubbing her temples.“Get it together,” she whispered to herself.This was just temporary.Just a deal.Nothing more.A soft knock interrupted her thoughts.“Ma’am?”Lina froze.Ma’am?She hesitated before opening the door.A neatly dressed maid stood outside, bowing slightly.“Good morning, ma’am. Mr. Blackwood has requested your presence for breakfast.”Lina blinked.Breakfast?With him?“Tell him I’m not hungry,” she said quickly.The maid looked… uncomfortable.“I’m sorry, ma’am. He said it wasn’t a request.”Of course he did.Lina sighed.“Fine. I’ll be there.”The dining hall was massive.Too big for just two people.Lina walked in cautiously—And stopped.Adrian was already seated.Calm.Composed.Like always.As if h

Lina didn’t stay.The moment she regained her senses, she turned and walked out of the dining hall.Fast.Too fast.Her heart was still racing.Her lips still burned.And her thoughts—Her thoughts were a complete mess.“What is wrong with me?” she whispered as she reached the hallway.That kiss…It wasn’t supposed to happen.None of this was supposed to happen.This was a deal.A contract.Nothing more.So why did it feel like everything was slipping out of control?“Running away again?”Lina froze.That voice—Too familiar now.Too dangerous.She turned slowly.Adrian stood at the end of the hallway, his expression unreadable.“I’m not running,” she said quickly.He raised an eyebrow.“You always say that.”Her jaw tightened.“I just need space.”Instead of arguing—He started walking toward her.Slow.Confident.Like a predator closing in.Lina’s breath caught.“Space from what?” he asked. “Me… or what just happened?”Her heart skipped.“Both.”That stopped him for a second.But on

The music faded.But the tension didn’t.Lina stepped back slightly, her heart still racing from the dance.Something felt wrong.Off.Like the calm before a storm.“You’re thinking too much,” Adrian said, watching her closely.She forced a small smile.“Am I?”“Yes.”Before she could respond—A voice cut through the room.“Ladies and gentlemen…”The entire hall quieted.A man stepped onto the stage, holding a microphone.“We have a special announcement tonight.”Lina’s stomach tightened.She didn’t know why—But something inside her screamed danger.Adrian’s expression darkened slightly.“Stay close,” he murmured.“Tonight,” the man continued, smiling, “we celebrate not just business… but truth.”Lina frowned.Truth?What did that mean?Then—The large screen behind the stage flickered on.And everything changed.Images appeared.Clear.Undeniable.Lina’s breath caught.“No…”Her voice barely came out.It was her.Photos of her.Old ones.Ones she never wanted anyone to see again.He
