Diana457

“Marriage is a game of power, some fight to win, others fight to destroy. But when two people refuse to surrender, the only thing left is war.”

Daniel Smith had it all—money, power, and the kind of devastating charm that made women weak in the knees. He was untouchable, unstoppable, a man who played by his own rules. Until his family forced him into the one thing he never wanted—marriage.

Regina Green was no delicate rose. Sharp-tongued, bold, and dangerously unpredictable, she knew how to strike where it hurt. If Daniel wanted a battle, she was sure to make certain that he regretted ever stepping onto the field.

Neither of them would bow. Neither of them would break. Their marriage was a battlefield drenched in tension—where every glance was a challenge and every argument pushed them closer to a line they swore they’d never cross.

Hate was their language, desire was their weapon, but falling for each other? That was never supposed to be part of the plan.

The Billionaire’s Sassy Wife

Regina was jolted awake by a soft knock on the bedroom door. She turned to the side, wishing that whatever it was, was a distraction or a dream but a moment later, the housekeeper's voice, Magaret filtered through the wood with an urgency in her tone.

"Madam Regina, your mother is here."

For a long moment, Regina lay frozen, her gaze fixed on the ceiling above her, as if willing the words to be a cruel joke. But the tense, almost strained edge in the housekeeper's voice told her that this was no illusion.

Regina exhaled a shaky breath, dragging a hand down her face in disbelief. What now? Her mother never showed up without reason. Never arrived without a carefully calculated motive. She never called, never gave notice, and certainly never dropped by uninvited. But here she was.

It felt… insane. And yet, Regina could already sense the dread of her presence creeping into every corner of the mansion.
