Married to My Enemy Billionaire

🖤 Chapter 7 – Power Struggle

I refused to cry.

Not in front of him.

Not after what he said.

“You’re using me,” I said, my voice steady despite the storm inside me.

He didn’t even flinch.

“I told you this marriage was a transaction.”

“That doesn’t make it right.”

His lips curved slightly. “Right and wrong stopped mattering a long time ago.”

Something inside me snapped.

“I’m not your weapon,” I shot back. “And I’m not your revenge plan.”

For the first time—he paused.

Really paused.

His eyes studied me like I had just become something new.

Interesting.

“You’re stronger than I expected,” he said quietly.

I lifted my chin. “And you’re worse than I imagined.”

A flicker of something—almost amusement—crossed his face.

“Good,” he said. “I prefer honesty.”

I stepped closer, refusing to back down.

“Then let me be honest,” I said. “I won’t make this easy for you.”

Silence.

Heavy.

Dangerous.

Then—

“I don’t want easy,” he replied.

And the way he said it…

Made my heart race for all the wrong reasons.
