Lina couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Marry Adrian?
For revenge?
It sounded like something from a movie.
"You're serious," Lina said slowly.
Adrian nodded.
"I don't make empty offers."
"But you don't even know me."
"I know enough."
Lina looked away.
Her heart was racing.
Part of her wanted to refuse immediately.
But another part of her remembered Daniel's cold eyes… and Vanessa's mocking smile.
"You want revenge," Adrian said quietly.
Lina clenched her hands.
"Yes," she whispered.
Adrian stood up.
"Then this is your chance."
Lina looked up at him.
"Who exactly are you?"
Adrian adjusted his suit calmly.
"I own Cole Enterprises."
The name hit Lina like thunder.
Cole Enterprises was one of the most powerful companies in the city.
And Adrian Cole…
was its billionaire CEO.
Lina stared at him in shock.
"You're serious…"
Adrian extended his hand toward her.
"So," he said.
"Will you marry me… and destroy the people who betrayed you?"
Lina looked at his hand.
Her heart pounded loudly in her chest.
This decision could change everything.
Slowly…
she reached out.
And took his hand.
