Falling For The Man I Was Meant To Ruin
Adrian Vale was supposed to have it all—a billion-dollar empire, a bride who loved him, and a legacy carved in his name. He was kind, trusting, and believed loyalty meant something.
Until he was betrayed and lost everything on the day that was suppose to be the happiest day of his life.
Adrian stood at the altar and watched his fiancée walk into his brother’s arms, the same brother who stole his birthright in front of everyone, and from that day on, the gentle heir died.
What emerged was a man forged in ice and fury.
Years later, Adrian rebuilt himself into something far more powerful than what was stolen from him. He became the predator in every boardroom, the nightmare his enemies whispered about, and the man who trusted no one and needed nothing.
His life was perfectly controlled, he was cold, calculating, and completely alone, with no weakness, or love, and he stop giving people second chances.
Then Elena Marlowe walked into his world.
She had warm eyes that saw past his walls, a genuine smile that made him feel almost human again, and an innocence that didn’t belong anywhere near a man like him.
She didn’t run when he pushed her away. She didn’t break when he was cruel.
What Adrian doesn’t know? Elena was sent to destroy him. Planted by his enemies to become his weakness, to slip past every defense he’d built, to make him feel again—so they could rip it all away.
And what Elena doesn’t know? She’s the weapon. And she has no idea she’s being used.
When the man who vowed never to love again meets the woman designed to break him, the line between revenge and redemption begins to blur.
He starts feeling things he swore he’d buried forever. She starts seeing the wounded man beneath the monster.
But when the truth comes out—when Adrian discovers the one person who made him believe in love again was sent to ruin him—will he become the villain everyone feared?
Or will she be the only one who can save them both?
In a world built on betrayal, can two broken people find something worth fighting for?
