LOGINSelina 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.
View MoreThe call came on a Tuesday morning, while Adrian was knotting his tie in the bedroom mirror.I was in the doorway with Emmanuel on my hip. I watched Adrian's face change in the glass. It didn't change much. He had spent two years learning to keep it level. But I had spent two years learning to read what happened beneath the level, and I saw his shoulders settle in the way they did when news arrived that he had expected for a long time."Yes," he said into the phone. "I understand. Thank you for telling me first."He ended the call and laid the phone on the dresser. He finished the knot before he turned around."The Second Circuit denied Raymond's final appeal," he said. "This morning. There's nothing left to file.""And the cooperation agreement?""Signed on Friday. He gave prosecutors everything he knew about Pemberton's operation, forty years of it, from his father's era onward. In exchange his sentence was reduced to eight years." He paused. "He will serve all of them."Eight years
The client list consequences arrived across ten days.Not all at once that was not how these things worked. Selina had understood this from the beginning, from the years of watching her father’s case move through its own machinery, from the particular education in institutional time that grief had provided. Systems moved slowly. They moved with the particular deliberateness of large things that could not afford to be wrong and therefore could not afford to be fast.But they moved.The first consequence came on a Monday. Senator William Harte of Connecticut a seventeen-year incumbent, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, a man whose name appeared in the Geneva network’s client records in connection with two transactions in 2014 announced that he would not be seeking re-election at the end of his current term. The statement cited health reasons. It was the particular careful language of a man who had received a phone call from his lawyer over the weekend and had spent Sunday night
The news came on a Saturday afternoon.Not from the DOJ. Not from Dana Reeves. From a single line in a wire service alert that appeared on Adrian’s phone while we were eating lunch at the kitchen counter, Emmanuel in his chair between us, working through the serious business of examining his own fingers, entirely unaware of what was happening above his head.Adrian read the alert. Set his phone down. Looked at me.“They found her,” he said.I set down my fork.Constance Vail had been located in Geneva. Not in hiding or not exactly. She had been at her apartment, which was registered under a name connected to one of the dissolved Geneva firm entities that Brennan’s documentation had identified. She had apparently made no attempt to leave the country, which had surprised the investigators and which I found, when I thought about it, not surprising at all.Constance Vail was not the kind of person who ran.Running was for people who had not planned sufficiently. Constance had planned for
I woke up at six.Not from anything specific……no sound, no dream, no particular thought pressing through sleep. Simply the particular wakefulness of a body that had been running on urgency for three days and had slept its necessary hours and was now, in the first quiet morning after everything, simply awake.Adrian was beside me. Still sleeping, which was unusual enough that I noticed it without moving. He slept deeply when he slept, which was rare, and today his face had the particular quality of a man whose body had finally collected a debt that had been accumulating across a very long week.I lay still for a while. Listened to the apartment.Emmanuel, through the monitor, breathing steadily. The city below the window beginning its Friday morning the first sounds of traffic, a distant siren, the ambient hum of a place that did not pause for anyone’s significant night. The penthouse was warm and quiet and entirely itself.I got up. Went to the kitchen. Made coffee.Stood at the count
