Marry me and watch me burnUpdated at Oct 25, 2025, 01:16
“I didn’t marry him for love. I married him to destroy him.”
When I was a child, my father’s company collapsed overnight, it was crushed under the weight of Cross Empire’s power. The next morning, my mother took her own life, and nothing was ever the same again.
My father spent the rest of his years working himself to death trying to pay off the debts that weren’t even his. And when he finally died in the same empire that ruined him, I made myself a promise that one day, I’d make them pay.
I grew up studying the market that broke us, learning how to bend numbers, stocks, and empires to my will. And now, I wear a diamond ring signed by the man responsible for it all, Landon Cross, the cold and heartless billionaire.
To the world, I’m his perfect wife. But behind closed doors, I’m the woman who plans to bring his empire to its knees.
Only, the closer I get, the harder it becomes to tell where the lies end and my heart begins.
Because what happens when the man I swore to ruin becomes the only one I can’t live without?
