Phoenix's Deceptress Wife
BROTHERS CODE SERIES 1 R18+ Phoenix despised Hailey from the moment they got married. If it weren't for the money his grandfather had promised, he never would have agreed to the marriage. Their union was nothing more than a means to an end, a business arrangement forced upon him for the sake of his financial gain. He made a vow to himself on the day of the wedding: he would do everything in his power to destroy their relationship and end their marriage. He wanted nothing to do with her, and he was determined to make her life miserable. Phoenix believed that if he pushed her hard enough, she'd leave on her own, freeing him from the commitment while still securing the fortune he was promised. His plan was simple: expose the woman Hailey really was, or at least, the woman he assumed her to be. He believed she was nothing more than a manipulative gold-digger, someone who had schemed her way into his life for her own personal gain. In his mind, he was the victim, and Hailey was the one who deserved to be humiliated and cast aside. But as Phoenix carried out his plan, something unexpected began to happen. The more time he spent around Hailey, the more he realized that the image he had created of her in his mind was far from the truth. She wasn't the cold, calculating woman he thought she was. Instead, she was kind, strong, and resilient-qualities that began to challenge everything he had believed about her. The moment of truth hit him like a freight train: he had been wrong all along. Everything he thought about Hailey, everything he had convinced himself was true, was a lie. And worse, his actions-the cruelty, the distance, the manipulation-were beginning to backfire. The real question now wasn't whether Phoenix could end the marriage, but whether he could fix what he had broken. Could he make things right before it was too late?Complete
