I, Selena Grant, was the most cherished daughter of the Grant family in Seaview City, a princess in all but name. Countless men longed to draw near, not for love, but for the status and glory that came with me. But men never interested me. My only passion was my work, and my ambition was to see my empire stretch across the globe. For a long time, I believed I would burn out in my relentless work, destined to grow old alone. Until the day I woke in a bathtub. From the phone came a voice, sharp with impatience, "Why aren't you dead already?" A stranger-a servant-told me I was married, and that I had degraded myself time and again, staging suicide attempts just to win a glance from this man. I didn't believe a word of it. I could be relentless for my work, but never for a man. I picked up the phone and glanced at hundreds of rejected call records and countless unsent messages, all beginning with the same desperate words, "I love you." In that instant, I believed it. A bitter smile tugged at my lips as I stared up at the ceiling. Although I had lost three years of memories from this marriage, anyone who dared to treat me with such contempt would not escape the consequences.

Woke Up as My Nemesis's Wife Chapter 1 Married To My Enemy

I, Selena Grant, was the most cherished daughter of the Grant family in Seaview City, a princess in all but name. Countless men longed to draw near, not for love, but for the status and glory that came with me.

But men never interested me. My only passion was my work, and my ambition was to see my empire stretch across the globe.

For a long time, I believed I would burn out in my relentless work, destined to grow old alone.

Until the day I woke in a bathtub.

From the phone came a voice, sharp with impatience, "Why aren't you dead already?"

A stranger-a servant-told me I was married, and that I had degraded myself time and again, staging suicide attempts just to win a glance from this man.

I didn't believe a word of it.

I could be relentless for my work, but never for a man.

I picked up the phone and glanced at hundreds of rejected call records and countless unsent messages, all beginning with the same desperate words, "I love you."

In that instant, I believed it.

A bitter smile tugged at my lips as I stared up at the ceiling.

Although I had lost three years of memories from this marriage, anyone who dared to treat me with such contempt would not escape the consequences.

.....

"Ugh!"

I was jolted awake by the warm water choking my lungs, a finely carved knife still clutched in my right hand.

Moments ago I had been in my office, buried in documents. How had I ended up in this strange place?

"Can't do it yourself? Want me to finish the job for you?"

The impatient male voice came from the phone resting on the bathroom shelf.

As the call clicked off, several women in neat uniforms rushed in from outside.

From their attire, they were clearly the housemaids.

"Mrs. Harlow, our time is valuable too. We don't have the patience to sit through another one of your suicide shows."

"Mrs. Harlow, your little scare tactics don't fool anyone. Mr. Harlow's fed up, and so are we."

In my confusion, the maid at the back sneered, "Every time you scream about killing yourself, you don't even scratch the skin. Total waste of time-no wonder Mr. Harlow dumped you."

Their voices dripped with irritation and disgust, making my skin crawl.

I rose from the tub and walked toward them.

"Mr. Harlow-Leonard Harlow?"

The maid at the back gave a scornful laugh, "Mrs. Harlow, if it weren't for the decent treatment Mr. Harlow gave us these past three years, we wouldn't waste our time looking after a lunatic like you! Out of tricks already? So now you're putting on the amnesia act?"

I stared into the bathroom mirror-my face was the same, yet so gaunt it looked as if I might die the very next moment.

So... I was married?

And I had married my sworn enemy, Leonard Harlow?

And I had truly lost every memory of the three years since becoming Leonard's wife?

I stared at the disconnected phone, a cold laugh slipping past my lips.

Leonard, you've grown bold, daring to speak to me like that now.

After drying myself off, I returned to the bedroom.

Shock rippled through me-what kind of wretched life had I been living all these years?

This bedroom wasn't even as big as my walk-in closet, and the mattress was coarse and unyielding compared to the one I used to sleep on.

After tossing and turning, I lay back and ordered the maids to tell me everything that had happened in the past three years.

They told me I had been madly in love with Leonard. Even knowing his heart belonged to his secretary, Nora Ansel, I had resorted to every scheme imaginable.

In the end, Leonard had been forced to marry me, but there was no wedding, no blessings.

Afterward, though I was Mrs. Harlow in name, everyone knew Leonard's true wife was Nora.

They would kiss beneath the spotlight as if I didn't exist.

On social media, they even called each other husband and wife.

Unable to endure such humiliation, I tried to drive them apart by threatening suicide.

But Leonard never yielded-if anything, he became even more ruthless.

He drove me out of the mansion in the city center and confined me to this villa on the outskirts.

He brought Nora home and granted her every privilege of the Harlow family's mistress.

And now, just to see him, I had to wager my life.

By the end of their account, every gaze on me brimmed with annoyance.

I nodded to show I understood, then dismissed them.

I could hardly blame them. If I had to face a lunatic threatening death every day, I'd be sick of it too-perhaps even tempted to end her life myself.

Just as I was about to lie down, Leonard appeared before my eyes.

I was the "diamond" of the Sargent Foundation, a perfect orphan polished for the cameras and high-society galas. But beneath the glittering chandeliers, I was suffocating. When the pressure finally broke me and I tried to flee the Sargent Gala, I wasn't met with comfort. I was hunted down by security and dragged into a sterile, white-hot spotlight in a room I was never allowed to enter. Adrien Sargent, the cold-blooded CEO who controlled my every move, didn't want to help me. He wanted to devour me. He presented a legal cage: sign over my voting shares for his unethical hostile takeover, or he would have my only friend—the elderly butler who raised me—killed in his nursing home bed. I became a prisoner in the East Wing, stripped of my phone and watched by hidden cameras. During a midnight storm, I tried to steal a security card to escape, but Adrien caught me in his study. Reeking of whiskey and corporate rage, he didn't just stop me. He pinned me to his desk and branded my neck with a bite so deep it bruised, treating me like a thief who deserved to be claimed. The next morning, the house turned into a battlefield of lies. His PR consultant tried to claim she was the one in his bed, but Adrien found a pearl button from my pajamas under his desk. He didn't feel guilt; he felt violated. He accused me of orchestrating the entire encounter to blackmail him, his eyes filled with a terrifying, possessive fury. When his grandmother caught us, she didn't see a victim; she saw a liability. To save the family stock price, she gave us an ultimatum: marriage. "I’ll do it," I said, looking at the massive diamond ring that felt more like a shackle. Adrien thought he had finally broken me, but he didn't know about the encrypted file I just received. The corporate crisis he’s fighting was an inside job, and the trail leads straight to his own front door. I looked at my new husband on our wedding night and let my silk dress hit the floor. He thinks he’s trapped a rabbit, but I’ve just gained total access to his world. I will sleep with the enemy, learn every dark secret he’s hiding, and then I am going to burn his empire to the ground.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
