Shining With My Ex-husband's Enemy Novels & Stories

The chandelier light suddenly felt colder. Sienna looked up at her husband, a man she’d married to save a company, a man she was no longer entirely sure she understood as simply an enemy, and felt, for the first time, real fear about what they might be uncovering together.

Not anymore. I'm not afraid because my fear was not dying. My fear was losing my family. My husband is dead and now I am angry. I closed my eyes and I could feel my blood rushing through my hands and to my fingertips. I could hear Liam yelling for me. I opened my green eyes that surely turned to black, and lunged my hand to the man in front of me and wrapped my hand around his neck. His veins on his neck became visible and his mouth desperately trying to breathe and his hands trying to remove my strong grip on his neck. This is the power I possess that I hid and never wanted to use.

Then sensing her sadness, Alberto somehow regretted his words. “Stop!" Alberto said, standing from his chair, and moved closer to her. He had married her for the benefits of his own, for his own gain. Her father was one of the most powerful man, and he needed his power and influence to get rid of his one enemy. And if he make her sadness that might lead to the abolition of his marriage with her, and that could lead to the failure of his plan.

The thought of leaving this hell-calling home supposed to make me happy and unleeched from the chain instead, I felt worse. I was getting married to someone I hadn't met before and the fact that they were enemies with my family, made me even more bitter. Aware of the bad blood they have with my family would make them treat me like a slave or even worse and the thought of it made me shiver. Lost in my dilemma, my elder sister spoke, "But Mom, doesn't this mean that we will be inlaws with our enemy?" Veronica asked my mother and then, a knowing evil smirk that I was used to seeing crept her lips as she sipped the glass of wine she had been holding since the beginning of this marriage discussio

And with his help, she had a chance at stopping it. All she needed to do, was get him to agree. "As you would, but unfortunately you have been locked up in this cage like an animal. Thirsty and starved of revenge" she chuckled. "And you, desperate enough to want to join forces with me. Becoming an enemy of your pack." "What?" Niva narrowed her eyes. "I will never become an enemy to my pack, the safety of my pack is my number one priority." "You are down here, against your father's wish, breaking pack rules, negotiating with a captive, an enemy. You don't need a seer to tell you that the moment you free me from the cage, you stand to collect the treatment I would."

The room seemed darker somehow, despite the glittering glass from the broken window scattered over the carpet. I sighed into the pillow, willing myself to sleep. The breeze blew quietly, creaking the tree branches outside. They began to crunch more loudly, and finally a heavy set of feet landed on the balcony. I gasped, snatching the clock off my nightstand and ready to fight. “Get out! Or I’ll–” Caleb emerged into a beam of moonlight, his sharp features illuminated by the glow. “Now how is that a welcome for your future husband?” “What the hell are you doing?” I shouted, throwing my nightstand clock at his head. He ducked it, letting it soar through the open window into the yard. “I thought

"We're on the brink of war with De Lucas. You know what that means, don't you?" He clenched his teeth, head spinning as he willed himself to focus. He knew well enough what that portended: bloodshed, infighting for control, an attack on everything his family had worked to build. Yet grave as that situation was, the image wouldn't dislodge from his mind: that mysterious woman. Though he didn't yet know her true identity. She became a specter haunting his every waking moment. "Yeah, I know," he replied in a low, even tone. "The De Luca family have been a pain in our side for years. Whatever is coming, I am ready for it."

Sherry stood there, stunned, lips trembling, body blazing with heat and unanswered hunger. The silence roared. Moments later, Enzo disappeared into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. She stared after him, heart pounding, fingers pressed to the wall like she might fall apart. And for the first time… she didn’t know who the enemy truly was. The man she married? Or the man whispering the truth wrapped in poison? One thing was clear. Tomorrow would bring war.

I thrashed wildly. However, I was no match for the burly men. They found the tracker and crushed it beneath their boots in no time. Heavy footsteps approached me. Then, a man lifted my chin. "So, he bankrupted me for a woman like you? I'll admit, you're a sight for sore eyes." Realization dawned on me—he was one of Evan's enemies. "No, I have nothing to do with him. I'm the wife of the CEO of Luminary Corp. If you dare lay a hand on me, Kai will tear you apart!"

“Unlike you, I’m not very forgiving, and that should make the other idiots think twice before coming after me” “I think you mean me, they came after me” I corrected pushing to my feet. What was it with everyone wanting to steal my spotlight? “You’re going to be my wife, an insult to you is an insult to me, your enemies become my enemies, you know what I do to my enemies” “Decimate them” “Got that right…” he reached for my hand, his fingers playing with mine gently, the same hand I’d used to redden Brie’s face minutes ago. “You alright?”
