“So what do you plan on doing?” he asked, simply, “I want revenge. I want them to pay for everything they’ve done,” I replied in a determined voice. “Revenge, huh. What if I help you?” he asked, feeling so proud of himself. My eyes snapped to his. “Help me… how?” “Well, you told me you’re broke, right? What would you say if I gave you all the money you need for your revenge plan in exchange for something?” My breath hitched as I considered his offer. He’s clearly rich, and that would mean enough money to start up my plan. “In exchange for what? I have no money. I don’t have anything to give unless you want me to pay you back in the future, but I don’t think—” “Marry me.” ….. Astrid’s world was turned upside down when she was betrayed by the people she loved the most. Feeling utterly lost and defeated, Astrid's life took an unexpected turn when the enigmatic Damien Starkov proposed marriage to her, ostensibly to aid her quest for revenge. However, as Astrid delved deeper into Damien’s motives, she began to suspect that his emotions were far more complex than they initially seemed. She discovered that his past was shrouded in darkness, a mystery he kept hidden from everyone, including herself. This revelation raised doubts in Astrid’s mind about the morality of their revenge plot, and she couldn’t help but wonder if she had misjudged Damien’s true nature, which seemed to be characterized by an aura of foreboding d-a-r-k-n-e-s-s!

Astrid's POVI ran into the ladies' room on the floor where Damien's office was located, slamming the door shut behind me and sinking backward until my back hit the wall.Guns terrified me, especially after seeing one—and the way Damien had one against Dad's throat.This was one of the reasons why I hated the city with all its violence. Life at the farm was very peaceful—a beautiful escape from the reality I was now facing. The news every day spoke about gun deaths, just like what had happened on that day when I was just a child. I didn’t think it was getting better. If anything, it was getting worse by the day.A banging sound erupted from outside the door, Damien’s voice soon making its way to my ears.“Astrid, please come out. It wasn’t what it looked like.”I could have believed him if I hadn’t seen it myself. It looked like he would have pulled the trigger at any moment.“Astrid, I’m sorry. Please come out so we can talk, alright?”I didn’t move but instead sank to the floor, hol

Damien's POVIt was hard staring Arthur Marshall in the face without taking out my gun and shooting him point-blank. No regrets.But then again, that wouldn't have benefited me, and I don't think Astrid would be happy if I killed her father. She had a heart of gold, and despite the wrongs this man had done to her, she wouldn’t want him to die."You have 5 minutes."I told him, marching straight into my office, his footsteps echoing behind me as he followed. Once inside, I turned to my receptionist. "Make sure Astrid doesn't come in here while he is here." She nodded, and I closed the door."Get to the point."He cleared his throat. "Damien, I am so... I would like to start with how happy I am that we are part of the same family, my son. This is the perfect opportunity to—""I am not a part of your family," I cut off his banter, a scowl on my face.Arthur looked confused, his brows narrowing. "I don't understand. You are married to my daughter; that makes you my son-in-law, so you are

Astrid's POVThe cafeteria was empty. It seemed like no one else was out of the office, or maybe it was just because I had come here before lunch hours. I sat idly in my seat while the chef prepared what I had ordered.It was for me and Damien. I had come here asking them to give us whatever they had and some for him, but they had said he ate specially prepared food. So that meant I had to wait until his food was done.Well, it wasn't like I minded. I mostly ate natural produce, which I was sure had no chemicals, so it would benefit me too.Oh, grandma had spoiled me.That was the only thing Dad hadn't ruined for me, because he had let me choose what I would eat after the ulcer incident.He had been starving me for hours on end until one day, during a board meeting, I had puked on an investor. It was bloody, and the doctor had confirmed I had gastric ulcers. Only then had Dad allowed me to eat freely.That had been when I discovered Grandma always sent food for me, but it never reache

Damien's POVI had made a lot of bad decisions in my life, but letting Luke go on this small family meeting with his wife, and then letting Astrid work not only as an assistant to learn the ropes of being a CEO but as his replacement, was absolutely the worst decision of my life.We sat in a meeting room, but I couldn't concentrate on anything going on around me. No, I wasn’t staring at Astrid—even as the little cute thing kept biting the tip of her pen or jotting down notes in her notepad, focusing attentively on what was happening in front of her but not around her.I was too busy killing the men with my eyes.Everyone around the table was either very bold or very stupid and had a death wish because today, not only were they sitting in a meeting, but they were staring at my wife as though she were a piece of candy.I mean, yes, she is a piece of candy—for me only—so why would they do that right in front of me?Hendrix from marketing had just turned away, trembling in his seat when h

Damien's POV Could Astrid be seducing me? I want to believe otherwise, but it seems like she is. Lucky her then-it's working. If I wasn’t married to her already, I would have thought my rivals sent her to trap me and make me lose self-control over my business and everything else. Because every action of hers has been causing my insides to twist in a way that delights me so much I want it to keep happening again and again. For goodness' sake, I do not like women. Not since that bitch who called herself my mother did what she did to me. That reminds me-I need to ask about her prison sentence. I need to make sure I visit my dad in a few days. I mean my biological dad, in his grave, killed by my mother. No, she didn't kill him. But the guy was so obsessed with her that when she left to go on one of her many sexscapades, he rammed his car into a tree trying to chase her-dying instantly. Shaking my head, I pushed the thoughts away and focused on my work, typing away on my laptop-only

Astrid's POVNope, we didn't cuddle... sadly.I can't help but wonder, is there a speech therapy session for people who blurt out nonsense without thinking? Because I'm in dire need of one right away.I'm afraid one of these days, I'm going to tell Damien, "Hey Damien, you look so hot today. Do you know I'm a virgin? Maybe you can just take my virginity. I mean, you're my husband, right? I'm all yours."The thought of that does sound appealing, but no, I can't do something like that. Or maybe I can... then go dig the ground and bury myself right after.But on a serious note, I need to be careful. It seems like I'm getting too comfortable around him because—how could I ask him to cuddle with me? Goodness.My cheeks flamed again at the look in his eyes when I said that—shit. It was the first time I had seen such a look on Damien's face.Even when I had walked in and sat on his lap back on our honeymoon, he hadn't been that surprised. It seemed like he knew what I was on to at that time,

Astrid's POVThere are new sides to Damien I have been seeing lately. The humble side of him that cared so much and spoke calmly to his workers on the phone. And then there was the other side, the charming side of him that hadn’t stopped teasing me the whole time in the car.As we alighted from the vehicle, he quickly went around and opened the door for me, holding out his hand for me to take, which I did with a smile.I guessed what I was yet to see from Damien was a smile on his face. I really had married a rock. Maybe Luke was right—he would never smile, and I would have to live with that. But my husband was already very attractive. I imagined how he would look if he smiled. Thinking about it made me blush.Trust Damien to bring me to one of his restaurants. It made me wonder—did he really own every place in this city? No wonder he commanded such respect. It was a beautiful restaurant on the hilltop, with the most fascinating view of the city below.The high-end restaurant was fanc

Damien's POVAstrid thought she could really hide her plans from me. For goodness' sake, she has been using my name to carry out her revenge scheme. There is no way I wouldn’t know what she was up to.I have to admit, though, the girl is pretty smart and sneaky.I had ordered for all her movements to be shown to me, just for her protection and to be sure she didn’t get herself into trouble. Or maybe not, a little voice in my head whispered. Maybe because you wanted to be sure she was not approached by any men.It was true, though. I even got her a female bodyguard. Damn, I’m losing it.When I met her early this morning, all dressed up, looking like the beautiful angel she is, with those curves calling out to me, I had barely restrained myself from taking her into my room and making her mine.It is no doubt anymore—I am developing feelings for my wife.I like this woman.This clumsy, silly, beautiful princess who makes my heart giddy with just a smile.To think I swore never to love an

Astrid's POVFiona shot up from her seat like she had been sitting on hot charcoal. “What do you think you are doing here, Astrid?” she asked, glaring daggers into my face.“What do you think I’m doing here, Fiona?” I retorted sharply, rolling my eyes. “I’m here for the interview as well. I was invited.”She turned, fast as lightning, to glare at Eliza, who hid her smirk immediately behind a poker face. “What do you think you are doing, Mrs. Edison? This is supposed to be our wedding interview.”“Oh, I’m sorry, ma’am. This wedding interview is being conducted by the company. And while we thought it would be good to have the families of the couple present, the family of the groom and your father were reluctant to attend, so the only member of the family who could attend was Mrs. Sta—Ms. Astrid…”She caught herself immediately, but I still glared at her for the almost slip-up.It was not time for the big reveal yet.“Well, I don’t want her here, Adrian. Let’s go,” Fiona said, grabbing A

Astrid’s POVFiona-my adopted sister- was the first to welcome me to the conference room. “You are going to ace this, Astrid. I’m rooting for you.” She smiled at me, holding my fingers.“I hope so, Fiona. I worked hard for this.” I sighed, squeezing her hand back. She was just the support I needed.Minutes passed and my dad walked into the elegant boardroom, I stilled, anxiety taking over me so much that my palms got sweaty. this was the long awaited moment. However, when he uttered his first sentence, betrayal rocked my being. My chair flew back as I rose to my feet. “What are you saying, Dad?” I gritted out.“Please behave yourself Astrid.” He barely glanced at me and his hand beckoned to Fiona. “Come here my brilliant gem." It seemed like the world was crashing down on me, when I heard his words.“Right here and now, I declare Fiona, my lovely daughter, as the new CEO.” My dad spoke, breaking my heart.“But Dad…” My lips trembled, and I gripped the table hard, “How can you do thi...
