The ceo's Revenge Bride
Two years. No love. No trust. Just a contract.
Claire Donovan was drowning her business failing, debt collectors closing in, and eviction looming. Desperate, she had two options: beg her powerful family for help or take a deal with a billionaire she barely knew.
Gordon Blackwood remembered everything. Ten years ago, her father destroyed his future, ensuring he would never rise in the corporate world. But fate had other plans. Now, Gordon owns everything except the one thing he truly wants: revenge.
A two year contract marriage seemed like the perfect trap. She gets financial freedom, he gets a flawless cover to silence rumors about his personal life. But what Claire doesn’t know is that Gordon plans to make her life miserable.
Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving.
Yet the woman he intended to break refuses to crumble. The more she fights back, the harder he falls.
Hatred turns to obsession. Obsession turns to something else entirely.
By the time Gordon realizes he’s in love with the woman he set out to ruin, it’s too late.
Because Claire has discovered the truth.
Now, the woman who once needed him is walking away, and for the first time in his life, Gordon is the one who stands to lose everything.

Chapter: Chapter 8Wedding Day Claire stared at her reflection in the full-length mirror, her stomach twisted in knots.She looked… beautiful. The dress was a masterpiece of delicate lace, a flowing train, and just enough sparkle to catch the light. Naomi had made sure of that.“I still can’t believe you’re actually doing this,” Naomi muttered, standing behind her with her arms crossed.Claire sighed, adjusting the veil. “Trust me, neither can I.”Naomi narrowed her eyes. “You know it’s not too late to run.”Claire let out a dry laugh. “And do what? Go back home and face my dad’s wrath? No, thanks.”Speaking of her father… Claire’s stomach soured at the thought of him sitting proudly at the front of the church. Not because he believed in her happiness. No. He saw this wedding as a business opportunity a merger, an alliance that could pull his company back from the edge.That was the only reason he suddenly supported her decision.He thought Gordon loved her.To him, love was strong enough to break any

Chapter: Chapter 7Contract Ryan leaned back on the plush sofa in Gordon’s office, a mischievous smirk on his face. “Horses. We need horses.”Naomi, sitting across from him, folded her arms. “For what exactly?”“For the wedding, obviously.” Ryan looked at her like she had no imagination. “Picture this Claire arrives on a white horse, looking elegant and royal. Gordon waits for her at the altar, all stoic and brooding. The media will eat it up.”Naomi rolled her eyes. “Oh please, this isn’t a fairytale. It’s a contract marriage, remember?”Ryan’s smirk widened. “Exactly! And since it’s fake, we might as well make it over the top. Fireworks, doves flying in the background”Naomi grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. “You’re ridiculous.”Gordon, who had been half-listening while working on his laptop, finally looked up. “Horses… not a bad idea.”Naomi’s jaw dropped. “You can’t be serious.”Gordon nodded. “Let’s make it a memorable wedding.”Ryan clapped his hands together. “That’s what I’m talking about!”

Chapter: Chapter 6Prince Charming Saves the Day Claire slowly opened her eyes, the bright hospital lights making her squint. Her head throbbed, and her body ached in places she didn’t even know could hurt. For a moment, she was confused.Why was she here?Then it all came rushing back.The restaurant. The crazy woman. The attack.She groaned and turned her head, only to find Gordon sitting beside her bed, legs crossed, casually scrolling through his phone like he wasn’t in a hospital room.“Look who’s finally awake,” he said, glancing at her.Claire blinked at him. “What… what happened?”Gordon smirked. “Well, my dear fiancée, the entire country is talking about how I heroically saved you from a mad woman. ‘Prince Charming rescues his bride.’”Claire frowned. “What?”He turned his phone toward her, showing her a news article. Sure enough, there was a picture of him carrying her out of the restaurant, looking like some kind of knight in shining armour. The headlines were ridiculous."Billionaire Gordon

Chapter: Chapter 5A Dinner Gone WrongRichard Donovan had buried his secrets for years.And now, with Claire’s engagement plastered across every news outlet, those secrets were crawling back to the surface.Victoria stared at him, pulse quickening. “Richard, what’s going on?”He exhaled sharply, tossing his phone onto the coffee table.On the screen, a news article still glowed.‘Billionaire Gordon Hayes Announces Surprise Engagement to Claire Donovan.’Richard’s jaw tightened. “Gordon Hayes… I should have finished him off when I had the chance.”Victoria’s breath hitched. “What?”His expression darkened. “That boy wasn’t just any employee, Victoria. He was ambitious. Too ambitious. I saw it early on and knew he would be a problem.”“You fired him,” Victoria said, her voice unsteady.Richard let out a bitter chuckle. “I did more than that.” His jaw clenched. “I made sure he never got another opportunity in this country.”A chill ran through Victoria. “You blacklisted him?”Richard scoffed. “It was nece

Chapter: Chapter 4 A Public SpectacleClaire should have known Gordon wouldn’t just let their engagement announcement happen quietly.She stood in front of the grand mirror in one of the endless rooms of his mansion, staring at her reflection in disbelief.The dress was breathtakingly expensive silk hugging her curves perfectly but she barely noticed.Because Gordon Hayes had just informed her that in one hour, they would be publicly announcing their engagement.And she had zero say in the matter."A Press Conference? Are You Insane?"Naomi nearly choked on air when Claire called her.“A press conference?” Naomi whisper-yelled. “Are you insane?”“What choice do I have?” Claire hissed, adjusting an earring. “Besides, it’s just a contract.”Naomi scoffed. “Oh, honey. You think you’re in control, but I know men like him. They never play fair.”Claire sighed. “I’ll be fine. It’s just two years.”She hesitated before adding, “I just found out Gordon once worked for my dad’s company.”Naomi muttered something

Chapter: Chapter 3Pressure from HomeClaire sat on her bed, gripping her phone tightly as her mother’s voice filled her ear.“So, how’s the business going, sweetheart?”Her stomach twisted. She forced a smile, even though her mother couldn’t see her. “Oh, you know… busy as always.”“That’s wonderful! You’re finally making good sales?”Claire hesitated. “Y-yeah. Slowly but surely.”Her mother hummed in approval. “That’s good to hear. Your father will be so proud when he gets back.”Claire’s grip on the phone tightened. “Dad’s coming back?”“Yes, in three months. He’s expecting to see how far you’ve come. You know how he is, he'll want details. Real progress.”Claire’s mouth went dry.If her father found out she was drowning in debt, barely surviving, he would drag her back home and force her into the family business.“Claire? Are you still there?”She forced a laugh. “Yeah, yeah. That’s great. I’ll… I’ll be ready.”“Good. I know you’ll make us proud. Love you, sweetheart.”The call ended.And Claire sat
