Simple Christmas Tree

My life was a carefully curated map of invisibility until Jax Ryder decided to burn it all down. After catching him in a compromising secret, the dynamic shifted. I held the power, and my price was simple: make me desirable to his captain.

“Marry me, Vera Mactthorn,” he said evenly. “And I promise I’ll bring all your enemies to their knees.” ——— After being missing for two years and six months, Vera returns from the hands of her kidnappers expecting to find her husband and family waiting for her. Instead, she comes home to betrayal. Not only did her family fail to look for her, they quietly erased her from the family tree, taking everything she worked for and throwing her to the wolves. With no home, no money, and nowhere to turn, Vera’s life takes a darker turn when she is accused for something she didn’t do. That is where she meets Orion Blackwood—New York’s most feared and powerful businessman. The man her husband idolized. The man her father hated. The man who offers her a deal no one else would dare make. Marriage. Orion promises her protection, power, and revenge. He offers her a new name, a new life, and the chance to destroy everyone who buried her alive. What he does not tell her is that he is far more connected to her past than she realizes. As Vera and Orion navigate a dangerous world of power, secrets, and revenge, a fragile bond begins to form, one neither of them planned for. But both are hiding truths capable of destroying everything they are building. When the revenge is complete and the secrets come to light, will love be enough to survive the betrayal? Or will the truth cost them everything?

I had never imagined my life would eventually turn into a business deal. But when my father's hospital bills reached a surprisingly huge amount, I thought that was all not until my landlord decided I was better off homeless. At this point, I had no choice but to sign a contract with Alexander Pierce, a man whose presence alone screams arrogance and pride with power. The deal was simple: marry him for a year and three months, feign to be his devoted loving wife, and in turn, I will regain my financial freedom. But I can't say there was something simple about Alexander. His gaze burns too deep, his touches linger too long, and harder it becomes to state what's real or fake. I signed a contract. I never signed up for falling in love. But tell that to my heart.

“You murderer!” No A resounding slap followed those words from Katrina’s Mother-in-law. The entire extended family gasped in shock but no one made a move to help. Not even Katrina’s husband, Damon Winchester. He just stood there, watching lazily, like he always did while his mother berated her for every little thing. But this wasn’t little, no. This was more than the fine china dishes that were one of the family’s heirlooms which Katrina broke last thanksgiving and earned her harsh insults from her mother-in-law. This was nothing like the family dinner she made last Christmas that caused half the kitchen to catch fire, needing a renovation. This couldn't be compared to that afternoon in summer, when she knocked over an antique vase while dusting, freezing as it cracked clean down the middle and her mother-in-law murmured that Katrina’s touch spoiled anything of value. No. This was the death of the only woman who loved someone as unlovable as Katrina. The woman who raised her. The woman who constantly fought for Katrina’s place in the Winchester Family even when she didn’t belong. Alana Winchester, Damon’s grandmother. Like every other thing, it was all her fault. Everything Katrina touched turned to ashes.
