Ariana has sacrificed everything for the man she loves. She worked day and night, paying for her husband Daniel's college education in the hope that one day they would live happily together. However, when Daniel finally succeeded as a lawyer, he introduced another woman and divorced Ariana without any guilt. Ariana's heart was broken. The life she worked so hard to build collapsed in an instant. With nowhere to turn, she had to start from scratch, finding a way to survive in a world that was never in her favor. Yet, in that devastation, she found something even more precious-the strength within herself. Five years later, Ariana returned, not as a broken woman, but as a successful entrepreneur. Now, fate has turned around. Daniel, who abandoned her in the past, has fallen from grace. When the opportunity for revenge arises, Ariana must choose - destroy the man who betrayed her or show that success is the best revenge. A story of love, betrayal, and resurrection. Because sometimes, people who are considered weak are the most dangerous when they rise again.
View MoreThe night grew darker as Ariana, Richard, and Jonas left the bar. The heavy rain pouring over the small town added to the somber atmosphere, mirroring the turmoil in their hearts.Alex had agreed to help, but there was something in his eyes that unsettled Ariana. The man was fueled by vengeance, and even though they shared a common goal, she knew he wouldn’t hesitate to use any means necessary to destroy her father.Inside the car, Nathan waited anxiously. As soon as they got in, he immediately asked, “Well? Did he agree to help?”Jonas nodded, but there was tension in his voice. “He did, but I’m not sure we can fully trust him.”Richard turned to Ariana. “Are you sure this is the right decision?”Ariana took a deep breath. “We don’t have another choice. If he knows something that can bring my father down, we have to take the risk.”Nathan started the engine and drove out of the small town. The ride back felt longer than it should, and inside the car, silence hung heavy in the air.Bu
Ariana still gripped the brown envelope tightly, as if letting go would turn everything into a mere dream. But reality held her in a cruel grip. Her father. The man who was supposed to protect her was actually the mastermind behind all the suffering she had endured.It felt impossible to accept this truth, but the evidence in her hands was undeniable. These letters were not just ordinary documents. They were proof of crimes committed over the years.Richard, standing beside her, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Then we have to act fast. We can't let him keep controlling everything."Nathan nodded in agreement. "But we can’t be reckless. If he finds out we have this evidence, he’ll move even faster."Jonas looked at them all with a serious expression. "And there’s something else you need to know. Ariana’s father isn’t just a regular businessman. His connections run deeper than you think."Ariana finally lifted her head, her gaze filled with determination.
Chapter 34 – The Hidden TruthAriana’s steps halted in front of the slightly open wooden door. Her heart pounded in her chest, matching the tension in the air.Beside her, Richard stared into the room, his jaw clenched tight. Nathan stood slightly behind them, waiting for instructions.Inside, the sound of a glass bottle clinking against the table echoed. A heavy, familiar voice followed moments later.“So, you finally came,” Jonas’s voice was weary, almost as if he had resigned himself to his fate.Ariana pushed the door open wider and stepped in. The dim lighting revealed Jonas slumped on the couch, his expression vacant. In front of him sat a nearly empty bottle of liquor. Scattered documents littered the table, but Ariana could only focus on his eyes—eyes weighed down by the burden of secrets."Jonas..." she whispered, trying to suppress the storm of emotions rising in her chest. "Tell me this isn’t true."Jonas let out a small chuckle, devoid of any joy. "You already know, Ariana
Chapter 33 – Traces in the ShadowsAriana clenched the photograph tightly. A chilling sensation crept down her spine."We're being watched..." her voice barely a whisper.Richard snatched the photo from her hand, his jaw tightening. "Damn it. This isn't just a warning. They know our every move."Nathan clenched his fists. "We need to find out who's behind this before they make their next move."Ariana took a deep breath. "Daniel and Clara are getting too bold. They want to make sure I never escape their twisted game."Richard nodded. "Then we strike back before they trap us any further."Nathan started the car, his eyes scanning the surroundings cautiously. "We need to get out of here before they send someone else."As the car rolled forward, Ariana couldn't shake the feeling that unseen eyes were still on them.---A Chase Through the CityThey had barely driven a few blocks when Richard spotted something in the rearview mirror."We're being followed," he said grimly.Ariana turned t
Chapter 32 – The Watching EyesAriana paced back and forth in the living room, her heart pounding. The air around her felt heavier, pressing down on her chest. The photos she had just received lay scattered on the table—proof that Daniel, or someone working for him, was still watching her every move.Richard stood near the window, his sharp gaze scanning the outside as if searching for any sign of danger. Meanwhile, Nathan was on the phone, his expression darkening as the conversation continued."What did you find?" Richard asked as soon as Nathan ended the call.Nathan let out a deep sigh. "Daniel doesn’t have direct access to send these threats. But someone has been visiting him regularly in prison."Ariana felt a chill creep up her spine. "Who?"Nathan handed her a photo. "This person."Ariana’s stomach twisted the moment she saw it. Clara. Her former best friend. The woman Daniel had cheated on her with."This can’t be…" she whispered.Samantha, who had been quietly standing in th
Chapter 31 – Behind the VictoryThat night, Ariana sat on the hotel room balcony, staring at the sky, still cloaked in silence after all the chaos that had unfolded. Her mind kept replaying the events of the day—Daniel had finally been captured, yet something about it didn’t sit right with her.A knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts.“Come in,” she said softly.Richard stepped inside, his expression serious as he carried two glasses of wine. “You need this,” he said, handing her one.Ariana gave a faint smile. “Thanks.”Richard settled into the chair beside her, gazing up at the same sky. “You’re still thinking about Daniel?”Ariana nodded. “I feel like this isn’t over.”Richard exhaled heavily. “I have a bad feeling too. I already asked Nathan to make sure Daniel is under maximum security.”Ariana bit her lip. “What if he still has another plan?”Richard looked at her intently. “Then we’ll face it. Together.”His words gave her a small sense of comfort, but deep down, she k
Chapter 30 – Daniel’s TransferThe night felt unbearably long. Ariana sat on the couch, her heart pounding as she processed the information Nathan had just delivered. Daniel was set to be transferred in the morning—and chances were, this was part of his plan to escape.“How the hell does he still have connections outside?” Richard growled, his fists clenched.Nathan exhaled sharply. “Men like Daniel never run out of ways. He knows too many secrets about powerful people. If he sells the right information to the right buyer, he can get help anytime.”Samantha leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “We need to stop that transfer. If not, he’ll escape and come after us again.”A cold shiver ran down Ariana’s spine. If Daniel got out, she knew her life would be in danger again.“What’s your plan, Nathan?” Richard asked, his tone serious.Nathan leaned back in his chair, eyes sharp. “I have a contact in the police department. I can find out the transfer route and see if there’s a way to int
Chapter 29 – A Deceptive CalmThe night felt colder than usual. Ariana sat in the car driven by Nathan, staring out the window with a vacant expression. The events of earlier still played vividly in her mind—Daniel finally captured, the lingering threat in the air, and the relief that felt almost unreal.Richard sat beside her, silent and brooding. Samantha, seated in the back, let out a long sigh, trying to steady herself after everything they had been through."Where are we going now?" Ariana finally spoke, her voice weary.Nathan glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "I have a safe place for us. At least until we figure out our next move."Ariana nodded, not asking any further questions. She just wanted to rest.---They arrived at a secluded villa on the outskirts of the city. The building was large, surrounded by high fences and dense trees. Nathan made sure they weren’t being followed before finally driving through the gates.As soon as they stepped inside, Ariana sank ont
Chapter 28 – A Risky EscapeNathan stood at the doorway, his gaze sharp, while Daniel stared at him in shock and suspicion."Do you really think you can stop me, Nathan?" Daniel sneered, signaling to his men.The two burly men who had been restraining Samantha now moved toward Nathan. But he remained calm."I didn’t come alone," he said firmly.Suddenly, a loud crash echoed from outside. Shouts rang out, followed by the heavy thud of bodies hitting the floor. Daniel narrowed his eyes, realizing something was wrong.Ariana held her breath. Was this their chance to escape?"You’re really betraying me, Nathan?" Daniel’s voice was cold, his anger barely contained. "I gave you a place, power, and wealth. And now, you turn against me?"Nathan shrugged. "I’m just correcting my mistake. You’ve lost it, Daniel. I’m sick of watching your sadistic games."Daniel let out a low chuckle. "So, you think you can defeat me just like that?"Without warning, he reached for the gun tucked at his waist an
Chapter 1 - Shared DreamsRaindrops pounded against the windows of the small apartment, forming a faint, ever-changing pattern. Ariana sat on the edge of the bed, wringing her cold fingers. The smell of stale coffee from the cups on the small table mingled with the smell of detergent from her maid's uniform still hanging on the back of the door.Daniel sat on the floor, leaning against the old sofa whose foam was starting to poke out of the rips here and there. His hopeful eyes were fixed on the thick law book open on his lap."I'm sure it'll only take a few more years," Daniel murmured with a sigh. "After I graduate, we'll have a better life, Ana. I promise."Ariana smiled faintly, though inwardly she felt anxious. They had been married for three years, and during that time, he was the breadwinner of the family. Every day, she worked from morning to night as a restaurant waitress. Meanwhile, Daniel spent his time at college and the library, pursuing his dream of becoming a lawyer.Sh...
