About

In the heart of the capital, Aria Henson returns, but she is no longer the pampered heiress who vanished five years ago. Sold off to a so-called "barbarian" to save her family's reputation, she endured the harshness of the Northwestern mines and the warmth of unexpected love. Now, pregnant and clad in rags, she strides into a lavish gala, the weight of her past hanging heavy in the air. The elite, once her peers, now regard her with disdain, unaware of the fierce determination simmering beneath her quiet exterior.

As she confronts her brother and former fiancé, the tension thickens—betrayal lingers in every glance, and her childhood friend, now a successful lawyer, is no ally. With the bitterness of abandonment fueling her resolve, Aria is not there to beg for sympathy but to reclaim her power. What secrets does she harbor? What vengeance does she seek against those who turned their backs on her?

In a world where wealth and status reign supreme, can one woman’s return shatter the foundations of her past? With her child as her silent witness, Aria is poised to turn the tables and drag her betrayers down into the depths of their own making.

Married Off to a Savage, I Returned with Billions to Crush hiChapter 1

To plug a three-billion-dollar hole in the company accounts, my biological brother and my fiancé conspired to sell me off to the "Barbarian" of the Northwestern mines.

The entire capital waited with bated breath, assuming I was rotting in purgatory, eager to laugh at my misery.

But they didn't know the truth. They didn't know that the rough, savage man they mocked would tuck my freezing feet against his chest on snowy, wind-battered nights to warm them. They didn't know he would run hundreds of kilometers just to find me fresh strawberries.

I still remember his voice, rough as gravel but tender as a prayer. "Aria, you are the moon in my sky. I would dig out my own heart before I let you suffer a single grievance."

But then, the moon shattered.

He died in a carefully orchestrated "accident." No body. No bones. Nothing left to bury.

Five years later, heavy with his child and dressed in rags, I barged into the Henson Group's celebration banquet.

I watched my former family cover their noses in disgust. I listened as they plotted to force me to abort the "Barbarian's bastard" in my womb.

And I laughed.
