To the outside world, she is his wife and a symbol of strength. But Ariella refuses to be controlled. Defiant and sharp-tongued, she confronts Luis at every turn, refusing to submit to a man who regards her as nothing more than a strategic move.

But, before he can make things right, betrayal paves in. His most trusted allies turn on him, using Ariella as leverage in a deadly power struggle.
With enemies closing in and time running out, Luis must decide whether to defend the empire he built or fight for the woman who refuses to be conquered. In a world where love is dangerous and trust is a luxury, survival requires knowing whom to protect and who to destroy. Read HIS RUTHLESS REDEMPTION

Chapter: CHAPTER 125CHAPTER 125Ariella Annie left and I was alone. I neatly packed my room and was about to go take a shower when I heard a knock on my door. I didn't have to ask who it was or anything. I knew it was him— Luis.“Come in," I said before turning around.“Are you free?" he asked, trying to sound neutral but I could feel the pain in his tone.“Yeah. Do you want to talk about something?" I asked."I'm sorry…I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark Ariella. I thought pretending to love Emily would make her lead me to Neil but it didn't work,” he said when I lifted my brows."Pretending? Luis, you chose her child over mine,” I said."Yes, I did, but the truth is now out, and I don't want to keep you in the dark anymore. I meant it when I said that I loved you, Ariella,” he started, and I could feel myself getting nervous.“Luis, please, you're not fine. Try getting some rest," I suggested, trying to stop him from continuing, but he didn't want to.“I've to say this Ariella. I know I've been a fo

Chapter: CHAPTER 124CHAPTER 124Ariella Emma had gone back to her place while I was busy preparing my room when Emily walked in with a disgusted face. It was as if she were looking at someone who was rotting or something, but I wasn't in the mood for her drama. I'd already made it clear that I wasn't going to be nice if she tried me. “Well, look at the runaway girl, I knew you couldn't live without Luis' wealth, Ariella. You indeed are just the gold digger I thought you were," she smiled, probably expecting that to hurt me but I was mentally prepared. “I actually don't mind digging for gold, especially when it's from my husband's pocket. But wait aren't you the one carrying a married man's child?" I asked when embarrassment covered her entire face. “Don't push it Ariella you're nothing compared to me OK I'll—”"Shhhh Emily. I don't have enough joules to waste on an attention-seeking bitch like you. Stay the hell away from my room because I'm nothing like you OK,” I said before pointing to the door.

Chapter: CHAPTER 123CHAPTER 123Enrico I've been waiting for Marcus for about 4 hours now but he hasn't gotten here yet. It was as if something more important than tonight's meeting was taking up his time. I asked my man to contact him but his phone wasn't going through. “I think Neil is here," Monica rushed to tell me before I made my way outside to welcome him.Gosh, he really seemed like the devil himself. I could tell that I had a lot to learn. Darkness covered the entire atmosphere, and I could tell Lucia and Monica were both uncomfortable, just like me.“Lucia, you seemed like someone with all the potential to get back into Luis's life,” Neil said when I looked at her in shock. "You two know each other?” I asked, looking confused. “Yes and her return was no coincidence. I wanted her back into Luis's life so I could destroy him from the inside but she failed so badly," Neil replied, his voice deep yet powerful.“And you didn't bother to tell me?" I looked at Lucia.“Some things aren't meant to b

Chapter: CHAPTER 122CHAPTER 122Luis My heart is the biggest traitor I've ever had to deal with in this lifetime. The moment I heard Ariella's voice from that backseat, it started beating fast, and I could feel myself wanting to pull her into a hug.When the cafe closed, I was so upset because Ariella didn't show up, but after finding her in my car, I was shocked. I had so many questions to ask but the safety of our children was a priority.We drove to a different location and had a little confrontation before I noticed a red mark on the window. My heart felt out of place as I asked Ariella to bend her head.Somebody was about to shoot at us. I quickly drove away. There's no way I was going to let Ariella go back to her apartment. She was stubborn about going back to the mansion but we had to do all that for the children's safety.When I found her in Hope's room I just couldn't help but imagine what it would have been like if she had taken my little girl with her— Maybe she would have been alive.Ariel

Chapter: CHAPTER 121CHAPTER 121Ariella We got to the mansion and I was about to jump out of the car when Luis asked me to wait. He walked to my side of the car and opened the door. I wasn't happy at all. This was a place I wanted to be far away from but somehow I keep bouncing back.“I'll meet you inside," he said, going to talk to his men.I looked at the gate that was closed and then shook my head before going into the mansion. I had slippers on so my steps weren't that loud.“I've been telling you to stop the act and get out of here already," I heard someone whisper from the living room.“I know but one of us needs to stay. You know the mission is close to being finished. Now all we need to do is get rid of Emma," I heard Kendy responding.I knew her voice well enough to recognize it. I moved a little closer just to see who she was talking to when Emily was about to walk out, but froze looking at me.“You?" she said, looking at Kend, who was wondering whom she was talking to before coming to take

I was certain that I would be far from Luis and all the drama in Atlanta but guilt just couldn't let me wait for the plane to take off.I changed my mind and got off before it could take off. Since Luis was going to look for me I didn't want to be in contact with Emma.But after what happened to Hope I just didn't know how to react anymore. That child was the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me in that mansion. Even though Luis and I weren't her biological parents, the chemistry she made us build was more than that of family.I just don't know why one would target an innocent child to get back at someone. I knew Neil was behind everything. That day, after I left the airport, I was in a cab with one of his men. Since I was in the back seat with a veil on, he didn't recognize me, so he kept telling someone over the phone about my and Luis' divorce.The person on the other end was telling him how badly Neil wanted me take

Is everything okay?” I asked, looking at him confused.“No!” He went down on one knee and said, "Nothing is fine unless you accept my proposal.""Diego,” I whispered."Serene Brights, will you marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?" he begged, tears streaming down his cheeks and his lips shivering.“Ye…yes I will…I will marry you," I murmured, helping him get up as we hugged.“Woo!"

Miguel asked about breaking the sweet."Oh no, baby, you'll give them plenty when they grow," I smiled.We went to sit around the fire as the priest started the ritual. He sprinkled olive oil on their foreheads and smiled at them."Great riches and power are within their destiny, and joy will always be a part of it, but dark times will come," he warned, causing my heart to skip a beat before he added, "But they are strong

The next morning, we all prepared to travel to New York. "Mommy, I hope you will snap plenty of pictures of my sisters when we get on the plane," Miguel stated as we climbed into the Van."Yes, my darling," I said as I brushed his curly hair.We arrived at the runway and boarded the plane.

You're acting strange lately, are you OK?” she asked."Yes, but I have been thinking about something, and you do not have to agree if you are not ready," I answered when she asked for my opinion."After everything you have been through, I was thinking about you going to therapy."

I can not go home until I know it is safe for everyone, but for now, we need to get your belongings together and go," he stated."Finally, they are going to meet their brother and grandmother," I grinned.I watched Diego prepare my bags as I calmed the girls down after they began weeping."Ms. Brights, you appear to be in for a lot of fun," observed the doctor as he strolled in."Definitely, but I will be around, so it will be fantastic," Diego said, as the doctor nodded and walked away.Pete walked in and assisted Diego with our belongings, as I made my way to the car behind them.

There's just no way I would let them have that baby, especially him.Since I was having an interview earlier. I deliberately asked the host to say those lines. As predicted, the confusion on the internet was exploding.Some people were certain the child belonged to Aldric while others believed it was mine. I was expecting anything from Scarlett but not pregnancy or marriage.I was about to head to my hotel when a couple of cars blocked mine and I at first thought that it was Aldric until my Mom walked towards my car.“Open the door damnit!" Mom shouted from a distance.I could tell that she was upset over what I just said at the interview. She took a seat and then asked me to drive.“It's not that deep, Mom," I said, since her silence meant something deep was going on.“Do you have a gun in here?" She looked at me.“Mom," I responded, trying to focus on the road.“Don't Mom me da

Scarlett has been untouchable.I made my way into the living room only to find that Melissa wasn't gone yet and I hated how badly Mom wanted to pair us.“Hey there," she smiled looking at me.“Evening Melissa," I responded and made my way to the staircase before she could say anything more.“Dinner is ready.

I asked you to stay with them!" “Ms. Brown the gentleman said everything would be fine." “I don't know what you think you're doing but go find those two women before—" The door opened and there they came holding their heels in their hands. I could tell they had gotten enough sleep just hearing how smooth their voices sounded.“Morning," they said in unison while I looked at them with a serious face before asking where they had gone.“I'll let Zoe answer that because I don't know who that nice gentleman was," Praisely said about heading upstairs when I blocked her way.“Do I look like I'm joking?"

MOONBOUND: LOVE BEYOND THE BOND
"Aria please give our love a chance?" he begged.
Aria Knight was destined to be Luna—beloved mate to Alpha Claus Sawyer, heir to the Nightshade Pack, and the only wolf she ever loved. Their bond was undeniable, written in stars and sealed in childhood promises. But fate, as cruel as it is cosmic, twists with ambition.
At the annual pack gathering, Aria arrives expecting a proposal… only to witness Claus publicly announce his engagement to Camila Greer of the powerful Black Moon Pack. A political alliance. A betrayal masked in smiles. A rejection so devastating it severs not just hearts—but souls.
In a moment of heartbreak and rage, Aria invokes forbidden Luna magic to cut their bond—a soul-rending act that awakens a buried evil: Eryx, the ancient entity that feeds on broken mates. Her cry shatters the moonlight, and the Council brands her rogue. Her pleas go unheard. Her legacy erased.
Alone, hunted, and wounded, Aria collapses near death—only to be saved by Catherine, a sharp-tongued exiled witch. Catherine leads her to Duskrend, a cursed pack led by the cold and brooding Alpha Zion Hurricane. Zion lets her stay, but something in her scent unnerves him… and awakens his wolf.
As Camila and the corrupt Council plot Aria’s destruction, and the shadows of Eryx grow stronger, Aria discovers a new purpose: protect the innocent, master her magic, and heal the curse threatening the wolves of Duskrend.
But with war looming, and Zion’s fate now entangled in hers, Aria must decide—will she remain a broken Luna, or rise as a flame-touched warrior, ready to burn the world for those she loves?
She was betrayed by her fated mate.
Now she is the spark of rebellion.
And the moon will never shine the same again.

Catherine asked as she walked in a few minutes later. “Yes, I'm OK, but how did you know who she was?" I asked since I usually sense danger. “The darkest forces shielded her, and it would be impossible for anyone to sense her, but the goddess is always on your side, so I managed to see everything," she answered. "Will you leave me again?” I looked at her. "No, I'll be here until my time is up. When your second generation comes and we see the beauty in your fruits.” "I'm so glad to have met you. I still remember how heartbroken I was when you died," I said. “And I could feel your pain. You shouldn't get so attached to me, my dear," she said, and I just couldn't help but laugh. “I've found a mother in you, Catherine. There's no way I'm not attached, OK." “I'm the mother of every wolf, but if you mean it

She and Bruno have played a very big role in being there for Aria and me throughout the rough patch. They provided counseling when we needed it and spent sleepless nights looking after us. Nia played the motherly role for Salt while Aria was still getting over the loss of our children daily. It wasn't easy but they were there for us. Nia was just an innocent soul; she had nothing but love and kindness to offer. Bruno found himself a mate who would be there for him no matter what. Nia made her way out of the office when Derrick walked in with a pale face.

After taking my bags home Zion and I headed to the graveyard. There the entire Pack had gathered to lay my children to rest. I was breaking, yet I tried my best to stay strong. The moment those little coffins were taken out of the car a cold tear ran down my face as the memories of how we used to be started playing in my head. The way they would smile at me every time I greeted and also hold tight to my shirt was just crazy. I knew I would be missing all that. “It's OK, let it out," Nia whispered while I tried to hold back my tears but they kept falling. The coffins were being lowered and I couldn't help but start crying. This time rawly. I was pained at the loss of my babies. I never expected them to leave at such an early stage. The burial finished, and everyone made their way back home, but I chose to remain. I had to say my goodbyes to my children.

I couldn't imagine my life without my children. I kept screaming as though something bad was about to swallow me whole. The entire Palace went mute, and everyone came to see what was happening, only to find the three lifeless bodies of my children lying next to me. I couldn't take it. I couldn't even manage
