Reborn in Barcelona: The CEO's Contract-Wife of Vengeance
A Kiss in the Graveyard, a Contract in Chains, and a Calculated Fall
Aria Russell's life ended on a cold balcony at the Ritz in Paris, pushed into the abyss by her fiancé, her sister, and her best friend. She died without ever knowing the truth. Now, she's back at the beginning of the tragedy, in Barcelona, just as she became engaged to the ambitious Lucas.
This time, she isn't a lamb to the slaughter. Her memory is her compass, and hatred is her fuel. To avoid a repeat of the past, she meticulously crafts a plan to expose her fiancé's family's scandals, casting herself as the victim. With the engagement broken, she escapes to the only place she's ever truly loved: Paris. She wants to finish her literature degree at the Sorbonne and live a life of peace.
But her carefully planned escape unknowingly disrupts the interests of Parisian business magnate Léon Delacroix. He recognizes this "missing" fiancée, this dangerous woman who was willing to cause a scandal to get out of her engagement. In his world, rules are not to be broken. His cold revenge is everywhere, cornering her at school, work, and in life.
Cornered, she sees an opportunity. He, too, is desperate for a marriage to solve his inheritance problems. She pushes a cold contract across the table to him: "I'll be your perfect wife for one year. In exchange, you help me get on my feet." He agrees with a cold laugh, keeping this dangerous pawn under his watchful eye.
Thus begins their hellish life together. She navigates his icy scrutiny, but their shared passion for quiet pastimes like exploring famous graveyards and searching for lost manuscripts ignites a dangerous spark. Trust and suspicion, attraction and resistance, clash between the glamour of Paris and the dangerous undercurrents of Barcelona.
Aria knows the real hunt has just begun. The truth of her first death haunts her, and this time, she must not only face three smiling enemies but also constantly be on guard against the most dangerous "husband." As their contract nears its end, buried evil will resurface. Can she survive this double crisis, make her enemies pay, and redeem the love that has fallen into a frozen heart?
This is a deadly game that begins with a bargain and ends with true love, a dual-city mystery of betrayal, redemption, and ultimate temptation.
