The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 24
The apartment door opened quickly. Leonard stepped inside, closing it again carefully before rushing inside. His breathing was a little heavy, not because he was tired, but because his mind was still racing. However, as soon as his eyes caught the figure of Ariana sitting on the sofa, wearing a loose nightgown with a growing belly, all the heaviness in his mind seemed to evaporate. Ariana turned to him, a gentle smile gracing her face. "You're home." Without answering, Leonard approached and pulled her into a hug. He kissed her forehead for a long time, savoring the warmth of the woman carrying their child. "How's the baby?" Leonard's voice was low, almost a whisper in her ear. Ariana chuckled, enjoying the warmth of his attention. "He's doing well. He's moving quite actively today." Leonard looked down at Ariana's stomach, then knelt down in front of her, placing his hand there tenderly. "Hey, kiddo, don't trouble your mom too much, okay?" he whispered with a small smile on his

"Leo... I have something to talk to you about." Ariana's soft voice rang out as they relaxed on the sofa. After a simple dinner full of warmth, Leonard thought the evening would go quietly. However, Ariana's gaze showed something different-like something was bothering her. Leonard frowned, his hand reflexively grasping Ariana's fingers tightly. "What is it, dear?" Ariana bit her lip for a moment before sighing. "I saw something on social media earlier... about you." Leonard's heart beat faster. He tried to keep his expression calm, but his mind immediately jumped to the incident at the hotel. "Something about me?" he repeated carefully. Ariana nodded, then picked up her cell phone from the side table. She opened one of the news apps and brought up an article with a striking headline: "CEO Leonard Windsor Caught in the Act with a Mysterious Woman in a Luxury Hotel!" Leonard's chest tightened as he read that. Although no photos had been published, the news was enough to cause wil

The camera flashes are relentless as Darinna stands at the podium, sweeping the room with a confident gaze. She knew exactly how to capture the media's attention - a sweet smile, an expression as if she were the victim, and words carefully crafted to shape the narrative in her favor. Leonard stood a few meters away from her, his hands clenched at his sides. He had to restrain himself from getting emotional in front of the reporters. "Thank you for coming," Darinna's voice was soft, but sharp. "I just want to set the record straight on the rumors. My relationship with Leonard Windsor is not just cheap gossip. We have a long history together, and... I can't deny that there are still feelings between us." The room immediately became boisterous. Reporters whispered to each other, while several cameras panned directly into Leonard's face to capture his reaction. Damn it! Leonard stepped forward, trying to cushion the impact of the statement. "Stop playing games, Darinna. You know very

That day, Ariana was sitting in the living room of the apartment, enjoying a cup of hot tea while caressing her growing belly. Her mind was still filled with worry after the scandal Darinna had created in the media. However, before she could calm herself down, the apartment bell rang. Ariana frowned. Who was coming this early? She got up from the sofa and walked to the door. When she opened it, her body immediately stiffened. In front of her stood Darinna, with a triumphant expression. But what was more surprising- beside her stood a small child of about four years old. A little girl with wavy dark brown hair and piercing eyes that bore a striking resemblance to Leonard. Ariana's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the child, then back at Darinna. "What do you mean by coming here?" she asked in a trembling voice. Darinna smiled sweetly, as if she hadn't just made a mess a few days ago. Casually, she took the little boy's hand and squatted down to be at his level. "Dear, introd

Ariana sat on the sofa with her body stiff. Her hands were still resting on her growing belly, as if seeking protection from the reality that had just hit her. Leonard could not prove that Darinna was lying. In front of him, Lily was still standing with an innocent face, as if she didn't understand the quarrel that was going on between the adults around her. Meanwhile, Darinna seemed content to see Ariana's shock and confusion. Leonard himself stood by the door, hands clenched, the expression on his face hard to guess. There was anger, there was frustration, but there was also something else-something Ariana couldn't read. Ariana took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions. She looked at Leonard with eyes that were beginning to heat up. "Answer me honestly, Leonard," she said, her voice trembling. "If this child is really yours... why won't you admit it?" Leonard closed his eyes, as if holding something back. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Ariana seriously. "I never

Ariana stood in front of her bedroom mirror, staring at her own reflection blankly. Her eyes were puffy, her face pale, and her mind was filled with conflicting feelings. Jealousy. Heartache. Fear. She wanted to believe Leonard, but her heart was already filled with doubts. Lily. That little girl looked so much like Leonard. No matter how Leonard tried to deny it, the fact that Lily might be his flesh and blood still haunted Ariana. And what hurt even more, if it was true, it meant Leonard had rejected his own child. Her hand slowly rubbed her growing belly. What if their baby was a girl? Would Leonard love her? Or would he hate this baby like Darinna said? Ariana shook her head vigorously, trying to push those thoughts away. No! I can't keep living in this uncertainty. She looked at the suitcase in the corner of the room. She had already prepared her things, but her heart was still in doubt. Leaving Leonard would not be easy. She loved him. She wanted to build a family wit

The night was getting late, but Ariana was still sitting on the edge of the bed with a blank stare. The light from the bed lamp shone on her tired-looking face, making faint shadows on the walls of the room. Leonard sat beside her, silent. He could feel the tension hanging between them like a fine thread ready to break at any moment. He wanted to speak, wanted to calm her down, but he also knew that no words could instantly heal the wounds in Ariana's heart. Ariana let out a long breath, then bowed her head. "Leo, I have something to ask you." Leonard turned his head, looking at her with concern. "Ask anything, darling." Ariana bit her lower lip, hesitating before finally saying, "Do you really hate baby girls?" Leonard's heart felt like a sledgehammer. He hadn't expected the question to come so soon. "No," he answered quickly, but Ariana's eyes were still filled with doubt. "You don't have to lie," she continued. "Darinna said you rejected Lily because she's a girl. Yo

Ariana walked quickly out of the café, the cold night air brushing against her skin, but she didn’t even feel it. Her mind was filled with Darinna’s voice, the woman’s words replaying over and over. "Leonard didn’t refuse to acknowledge Lily because he doubted her biological father. He refused because she’s a girl." Ariana bit her lip, trying to steady herself. She didn’t want to believe Darinna, but something about the woman’s words haunted her. Was Leonard really like that? No, the Leonard she knew wasn’t that kind of man. But… how much did she really know about him? She reached for her phone, wanting to call him, but her hand hesitated. After a few moments, she finally decided to go home. --- A Home That Felt Different As soon as Ariana stepped inside, the house felt eerily quiet. Normally, Leonard would greet her or at least be waiting in the living room, but tonight, he wasn’t there. She walked in, placed her bag on the table, and headed toward the bedroom. When she ope

Evening WhispersThe evening sky was painted in shades of orange as Ariana sat on her bedroom balcony, cradling her growing belly. A gentle breeze swept through her hair, but her heart felt unbearably heavy. This baby… the only thing keeping her going amidst the chaos surrounding her.Nathaniel stepped out from the house, carrying a cup of warm tea. “You haven’t had dinner,” he said, placing the cup on the small table beside her.Ariana let out a deep sigh. “I’m not really hungry.”Nathaniel sighed as well before sitting in the chair next to her. “Ariana, you need to take care of yourself. This baby needs you.”A weak smile played on Ariana’s lips. Her hand gently caressed her belly. “I know. It’s just… I can’t stop thinking about all of this. If Axel is really alive, what does that mean for my child?”Nathaniel remained silent, his gaze fixed on her. He wanted to reassure her, but he knew Ariana needed more than just words.“Have you ever considered… what if he wants this baby?” Aria

Chasing ShadowsAriana sat in her office, her hands still trembling after last night’s phone call. That voice… Axel. The man who was supposed to be dead.Nathaniel stood near the window, his expression tense. “We need to make sure this isn’t a trap.”Ariana shot him a sharp look. “You think I misheard?”Nathaniel sighed. “That’s not what I mean. But we’re dealing with an enemy who doesn’t play by the rules. If Axel is truly back, then someone has been covering up his death all this time.”Ariana ran a hand over her face, trying to calm herself. “I can’t just sit still.”Leonard entered with a serious expression. “I’ve looked into it. There’s no record of anyone named Axel still being alive or using a new identity. But there is something strange.”Ariana tensed. “What is it?”Leonard handed her a brown envelope. “This was delivered this morning. No sender.”Ariana tore it open and pulled out its contents—several black-and-white photographs. Images of her in different places.At the off

The Game Isn't OverAriana sat in her office, staring at her computer screen with a cold expression. Serena had fallen. Jonathan Pierce had disappeared. But she knew this game wasn’t over."He must be planning something," she muttered.Nathaniel walked in, his face serious. “I have news.”Ariana turned to him. “Jonathan?”Nathaniel nodded. “Yes. He hasn’t truly disappeared. I just received intel that he was spotted at a luxury house on the outskirts of town.”Ariana’s eyes narrowed. “He’s hiding there, plotting his next move.”Nathaniel leaned against her desk. “What’s your plan?”Ariana met his gaze. “We make him come to us.”Nathaniel smirked. “I like the way you think.”---Night InvestigationThat night, Ariana, Nathaniel, Leonard, and Mason approached the luxurious house Nathaniel had mentioned. The place was dark, only a few dim lights glowing at the front.“Are we sure he’s here?” Mason whispered.Ariana raised her hand, signaling for silence.They crept closer, peering through

Ariana sat in the cell with a blank expression. Her hands were clenched in her lap, her body still tense from what had happened earlier.Serena had planned everything.She and Leonard had been set up, and now they were being held on charges of trespassing and attempting to destroy evidence.The cell door opened, and an officer approached. "Ariana Vasquez, someone wants to see you."Ariana stood up cautiously.As she stepped out, her eyes locked onto Nathaniel’s sharp gaze. He stood with his hands in his pockets, his jaw clenched."Is Serena still free?" Ariana asked before Nathaniel could speak.Nathaniel gave a slow nod. "Yes. But I’ve arranged for your and Leonard’s release. We need to leave now."Ariana clenched her fists. "She’s playing dirty.""She always does," Nathaniel said, nodding to the officer. "Let’s go."As they exited the police station, Mason was already waiting in the car."Get in," he said urgently.Ariana and Leonard quickly got inside, and the car sped away."I fou

After Serena was taken away by the police, Ariana stood frozen in place. The night air was cold, but that wasn’t what made her shiver. Something was bothering her, something unfinished.Nathaniel stepped closer, his voice calm but filled with caution. "Are you okay?"Ariana turned to him and nodded. "I just feel... this was too easy."Mason, who had just finished talking to the police, joined them. "What do you mean?"Ariana bit her lip. "Serena was too confident. She knew we were going to catch her, yet she never looked panicked."Leonard sighed and glanced at the police car taking Serena away. "She must have planned something."Mason shoved his hands into his jacket pockets. "Then we need to be prepared. I don't believe for a second that Serena is giving up that easily."Nathaniel nodded in agreement. "And we need to find out what she's hiding."---Ariana woke up feeling restless. She had spent the entire night trying to analyze every move Serena had made. That woman had built her
The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 50
That night felt quieter than usual. Ariana sat on the sofa in her apartment, her eyes fixed on the laptop screen displaying a collection of documents about Serena. Even though they had gathered enough evidence to bring her down, the fact that Serena had disappeared made everything even more dangerous.Leonard, sitting near the window while keeping an eye on the outside, spoke up. “Serena isn’t the type to run away without a plan. If she’s gone, that means she’s preparing something.”Ariana took a deep breath. She knew he was right. Serena wasn’t just an ambitious woman—she was smart, cunning, and wouldn’t let anyone destroy what she had built.“No word from her at all?” Ariana asked, turning to Mason, who was busy on his phone.Mason shook his head. “No movement in her accounts, no travel tickets under her name, and almost no digital traces.”Nathaniel, sitting across from them, leaned back in his chair with a serious expression. “That means she planned this long before we even realiz

The night grew late as Ariana sat in the living room of the villa where Nathaniel was hiding. The cold air slipped through the window cracks, but the tension in the room made her barely notice it.In front of her, Nathaniel stared at the documents Mason had just handed him. His hands clenched, his jaw tightened."So this is Serena," he murmured in a low voice, as if still processing the fact that the woman he had trusted all this time was actually the greatest traitor in his life.Ariana watched his expression carefully. "Did you really never suspect her?"Nathaniel lifted his gaze, his eyes filled with anger and guilt. "I knew she was ambitious. I knew she wanted more than I could give. But I never imagined she would go this far… framing me, ruining my life."Ariana could hear the pain in his voice, but she couldn’t let emotions cloud her judgment. The most important thing now was figuring out their next move."We can’t let Serena get away with this," Ariana said firmly.Leonard, who
The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 48
Ariana spent the entire night thinking about Nathaniel’s request. She knew that helping him meant getting involved in his world again—a world that had once broken her heart. But if what Nathaniel said was true, then this wasn’t just about her. There was a truth that needed to be uncovered.On the other hand, there was Leonard. The man who had always been by her side, who didn’t want to see her trapped in the shadows of her past again.That morning, as sunlight streamed through the apartment window, Ariana was still sitting at the dining table, staring at the pile of documents Nathaniel had given her the night before. She had read them over and over, yet certainty still eluded her."You haven’t slept all night," Leonard’s voice came from behind her.Ariana turned around. He stood at the bedroom doorway, his expression filled with concern. His slightly disheveled hair indicated that he, too, hadn’t slept well."I was just trying to make sense of all this," Ariana replied, rubbing her te
The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 47
Ariana sat in the living room of Leonard's apartment, staring at her phone screen with mixed emotions. News about Nathaniel’s financial scandal was still flooding various media outlets, and every time she saw his name, her heart felt heavy."So, what are you going to do now?" Leonard’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She turned to see him standing in the kitchen doorway, holding a cup of coffee. He looked relaxed in his rolled-up long-sleeved shirt, but his gaze was filled with concern."I don’t know," Ariana admitted. "I don’t intend to get involved in Nathaniel’s affairs, but… I can’t shake this strange feeling."Leonard walked over and sat on the sofa beside her. "Strange feeling?"Ariana nodded slowly. "I don’t want him to suffer, even though I know he deserves the consequences. I just… find it hard to ignore all of this."Leonard sighed and placed his cup on the table. "I understand. After all, he was a part of your past. It’s natural to still have feelings about the situa
