Introduction

I poured everything into him.

As a struggling artist, I lived for Julian, my charming musician.

I paid his bills, cooked his food, convinced myself our love was worth more than money.

Then the black Escalades came.

My Julian, the man I loved, was Julian Vance, a billionaire heir.

He didn' t even look at me as his fixer handed me a check for $500,000, calling it a "thank you for your time."

My world shattered.

I tore the check, screamed my love wasn't for sale.

I was a romantic idiot.

To keep him, I leaked our story to the tabloids, forcing his family to make him marry me for appearances.

The marriage was hell.

Julian treated me with open disgust.

His monstrous grandfather systematically dismantled my life, isolating me, sabotaging my art, whispering poisons until I questioned my sanity.

The final blow: Julian on Page Six, laughing on a yacht with "his longtime companion," Serena.

My "love story" was a brutal nightmare, my grand romance a calculated humiliation.

The pain of betrayal, the sheer injustice, choked me.

How could something so pure turn so monstrously toxic?

I was a pawn.

That night, in our cold, empty penthouse, I ended my life.

But then, I woke up.

Back in my tiny Brooklyn apartment.

The day before I met Julian for the "first" time.

This time, I knew the script.

And this time, I wasn't here for love.

I was here to collect.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
