The Spiteful Bride, Marry to Rival's Son

A wedding forged in vengeance, where love is the only risk they never planned for.

“Let's get married,” Mia says, her voice trembling despite the fire in her eyes as she meets Stefan's guarded gaze. She needs this—needs him—even if he looks at her like she's just another complication.

Stefan arches a brow, unimpressed. “And why would I do that?”

“We both know what it's like to be betrayed by the men who raised us,” she replies, refusing to back down. “They stole our birthrights and handed them to someone else. The only difference is… you're the illegitimate one. I'm not.”

He studies her—this heiress in designer armor, hiding rage beneath polish. “So your grand plan is a wedding band as revenge?”

“No,” she says, stepping closer, close enough for him to smell the jasmine and gunpowder. “It's the only weapon they won't see coming.”

Their fathers built empires by manipulation and control. Now, their children are making a vow—to burn it all down.

Two shattered heirs. One dangerous alliance. A marriage built on vengeance.

Mia Meyers was born to inherit her father's empire—until he handed it to his bastard son instead. Stefan Sterling knows rejection too well, discarded by a father who only valued power. Now, these rivals-turned-co-conspirators hatch a plan: marry for revenge, crush their fathers' legacies, and take what should've always been theirs.

No love. No feelings. No divorce.

But as lines blur between strategy and obsession, the real question becomes: can two enemies survive a marriage built not on trust—but on spite?
