MARRIED TO THE CEO WHO RUINED ME:HIS BRIDE, HIS REVENGE
Five years ago, Marceline Valino gave her heart—and her body—to the boy she loved, only to have her world shattered the next morning.
Her most vulnerable moment was broadcast to the entire elite school. And the boy? Cross Dejeva—the heir to one of the most powerful empires in Spain—looked her in the eye and spat, “You mean nothing to me. Just the bastard daughter of my father’s mistress.”
Humiliated. Pregnant. Alone.
Marceline was cast out by her mother, her name ruined, her love lost. She miscarried the baby she never got to cherish. And she vowed never to let anyone break her again.
Now, five years later, fate brings her back to Spain—broke, desperate, with a dying mother and a sister to protect. When she steps into Dejeva Empire begging for a job, the last person she expects to face is him.
Cross Dejeva.
Cold. Calculated. Untouchable. The same man who destroyed her youth.
But instead of pushing her away… he offers her a deal: Marry me. One year. No love. No escape.
Why? Because Cross must marry to inherit his family’s legacy. And what better revenge than chaining Marceline to his side, forcing her into the spotlight as his wife—on his terms.
She says yes—not for love, not for hope, but for survival. She’ll wear his ring. Play the part. But she won’t fall for him again.
Only… the longer they share the same roof, the more blurred the lines become.
Behind Cross’s cruel façade lies a man haunted by secrets. Behind Marceline’s cold defiance lies a woman still aching from old scars. And when danger from both their pasts rises—jealous exes, scheming half-brothers, and ruthless betrayals—they find themselves fighting not just their enemies, but the feelings they swore were long dead.
But love doesn’t ask for permission.
It crawls through the cracks. It survives fire, lies, even bloodshed.
Until one bullet shatters everything.
Now, with Marceline’s life hanging by a thread, Cross must finally decide:
Is she just a pawn in his game of vengeance?
Or has she always been the woman he could never afford to lose?
