Married to the Devil Who Took Everything From Me Novel – Mira Lennox’s brother, Gabriel Lennox, a senior pilot, died in a plane crash after sacrificing himself to save everyone on board. As the company’s chief mechanical engineer, she forced herself to push through the pain and immediately joined the investigation, analyzing the wreckage and black box data.
To her shock, the cause of the crash was traced back to a critical mistake. Her intern, Selene Varrin, had installed the wrong screw without authorization. But just before she could submit the evidence, her husband, Adrian Crowe, the airline’s biggest shareholder destroyed everything. By the river, Mira’s phone was smashed to pieces against the concrete, shards scattering across the ground.
Two bodyguards held her down, forcing her to watch as Adrian’s men pulled her mother from the freezing river once again. “Mom!” Mira’s scream tore through the night, her voice raw and trembling. “Stop being so stubborn, Mira.” Adrian’s tone was devoid of emotion. “All you have to do is film a video, say your brother was drinking before the flight and caused the crash, and I’ll get your mom to the hospital right away.” He looked down at her, towering over her. “She’s old.
Her heart’s weak. I can’t promise she’ll survive the next time we pull her out.” Soaked and shivering, Mira’s mother gasped for breath. “Mira… if I die, I die… but your brother died saving lives. Don’t let him be branded like this…” “You bastard!” Mira’s eyes blazed with fury. “Selene is the little sister of my best friend,” Adrian said calmly, his words sharp as knives. “If he hadn’t given me the only parachute that day, I would’ve died.
I promised him I’d take care of her.” “And this was just an accident anyway. Your brother’s already dead, so he won’t care if he takes the fall. But Selene? This would destroy her career.” “Mira, it’s just one video. You trained her. Can’t you show a little understanding of what she’s going through?” He wanted her to understand Selene? Looking at the man in front of her, Mira felt like she didn’t know him at all.
Back then, Adrian had fallen for her at first sight. To get close to her, a mechanic working on aircraft systems, he became the largest shareholder in her airline. Everyone knew Adrian, CEO of the Crowe Group, was obsessed with Mira. He would’ve ripped out his heart for her if she’d asked. After they got married, he treated her like royalty. He once canceled a billion-dollar contract just to learn how to cook her favorite dish.
When she fell asleep on his shoulder in the car, he sat there all night without moving. When she so much as coughed, he called every specialist in the city. Back then, he remembered every little thing she said. But everything changed after Selene showed up, bringing a photo and a keepsake, claiming to be the long-lost sister Adrian’s friend had spent years searching for.
Selene said she wanted to become an aircraft engineer like Mira. Adrian made it happen, despite the fact Selene had never even finished high school. He placed her directly under Mira as an intern. He even gave her access to work independently, despite her complete lack of qualifications. Mira had fought him on it. Adrian only said, “Mira, I owe her.” Selene skipped training sessions just because she got tired from shopping. She left work early to go buy clothes.
When she faked inspection data, Adrian asked Mira to cover it up. Selene once initiated a fuel system test on her own, causing a complete equipment failure. Adrian said, “She’s just inexperienced. She’ll get better with practice.” Then Selene posted on social media, showing off: “It’s just a screw. I’m no worse than anyone else.” No one expected she would actually mess with the most critical screw on a jet engine without authorization.
When Mira still refused to make the video, Adrian’s patience finally snapped. He gave a quick signal to the bodyguards. With a splash, Mira’s mother was thrown back into the river. As she watched her mother struggling in the water, her heart tore in two. “I’ll do it! I’ll do it! Just pull her out!” she screamed, breaking down completely. Adrian gently wiped her tears, his voice tender. “Good girl.
Just hurry up and do it. No one’s going to believe you if you look like that.” Numb, Mira turned to face the camera. Her voice flat, she accused her brother of drinking before the flight, blaming him for the crash. When the recording ended, her mother was pulled from the water again. Mira stumbled forward, wrapping her arms around her freezing, unconscious mother, sobbing uncontrollably.
Adrian looked at her with what seemed like guilt, and maybe regret. He stepped forward and picked up Mira’s mother. “I’ll take her to the hospital.” The car cruised toward the emergency room. As they waited at a red light, Adrian’s phone rang. “Adrian…” Selene’s tearful voice came through. “Some
