The CEO'S Vengeful marriage
He bought her silence. She stole his heart.
Three years ago, Elara Vance broke Damian Thorne’s heart to save his life. She took the money, disappeared, and let him hate her.
Now, Damian is the ruthless CEO of Thorne Industries—the "Devil of Manhattan." And he’s just found her again.
When Elara’s father is framed for embezzlement by Damian’s own uncle, she has no choice but to return. Damian offers her a deal: wipe away her family’s crushing debt in exchange for one year as his contract wife. It’s not a marriage; it’s a punishment. He wants to make her pay for leaving him. He wants to break her.
But Elara isn’t the scared girl he remembers. She’s resilient, sharp, and sees right through his cold facade. As they navigate a world of vicious socialites and corporate sharks, Damian’s hatred begins to crack. Every time he tries to push her away, she pulls him closer. Every time he tries to punish her, he falls deeper in love.
But someone is watching. Someone who wants them both dead.
As a deadly conspiracy threatens to destroy everything, Damian must choose: protect his empire, or save the woman he never stopped loving.
