LOGINShe’s the daughter of the man who destroyed his life, and now, she’ll pay the price. Used, discarded, and treated like nothing, Zey becomes the target of all his fury. But no one warned Adrian about the danger of falling for the one person he was supposed to hate. Zey sees through his cruelty. She endures the torment, not because she's weak, but because she senses the brokenness beneath his anger. And despite every reason not to, she falls for him—hard. She had the chance to end their marriage, to destroy him as easily as he tried to destroy her... but she couldn’t. Now, with secrets lurking in the shadows and enemies waiting to strike, their twisted marriage teeters between ruin and redemption. Is their love doomed—or will it rise from the ashes of revenge? A sizzling, slow-burn romance full of passion, pain, and impossible choices.

I just sat there staring at the wine glass he left behind. on impulse, I walked towards the liquid with shaky hands, I downed the content, relishing the burning sensation down my throat.I was falling apart.I'd been in that spot for six months and there was no end to it.the words repeated in my head. the accusation twisting my insides painfully until was nothing but a sobbing mess."no""no"I muttered.he'd never do that.

Never would I let him hurt me again.I wiped the tears from my cheeks with trembling fingers. I was exhausted—tired of being trapped in this endless cycle, tired of convincing myself that things could somehow change.They wouldn’t.He wouldn’t.Adrian.Even thinking his name stung.Everything about him burned inside me—the hatred in his eyes whenever he looked at me, the cruel sharpness in his voice, the icy distance that seemed rooted deep within his soul.At the beginning, I had hoped.There were moments—rare, fragile moments—when he seemed different. When the walls around him cracked just enough for me to believe there might be something more beneath the darkness.But I had been wrong.This version of him was worse.Unpredictable.Dangerous.For a split second back there, I had truly thought he might do it—might end everything for good.My chest tightened at the memory.I stepped out of the room quickly, desperate for air, only to freeze when I saw Laura leaning against the wall.S
Zey *The car halted beside the mansion, tires scraping against the gravel, and he stepped out, still fuming.The distrust in his eyes cut deeper than his anger ever could.“Go in,” he said flatly.“I want to help, I—”The fire in his eyes silenced me instantly.“You’ve done more than enough.”“If anything happens to her—”“Then what?”He stopped mid-step. Slowly, he turned back to me. His eyes widened as I met his gaze, daring him, condemning us both.“Then what?” I repeated.“Do you go back to the past? To punishing me all over again?”“I won’t hesitate to,” he replied without emotion. “Just so you know.”The words landed like a slap. I tried to ignore the ache spreading through my chest, but it was impossible not to feel it. Impossible not to care.“Why are you doing this to me, Adrian?”“We’ve gone past this point.”“I don’t know what I’ve ever done to deserve this,” my voice trembled, “but I want you to understand me. To trust me. We’re married and—”“None of this is going to wo

Zey.*I stepped away, heart heavy, since when did I consider myself as part of this family?What was happening to me ? What right did I have to care about a man who has taken away from me, who'd crashed my life. This man who'd destroyed my life, the happiness, the sweetness with his dark presence,
Zey*The forest thinned, but every step felt heavier, as if the earth itself were trying to pull me back to him. My throat was raw from the cold air and the desperate gulps I took between sobs. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.Then—I heard it.A distant hum. Tires crunching gravel. My legs carried me fa
