The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 9
Ariana was still standing on the balcony, looking at the city lights twinkling below her. The night air was slightly prickling her skin, but she didn't care. Her mind kept spinning, weighing every possibility. Divorce with Nathaniel-that was something that had only existed in wishful thinking. She let out a long breath. Beside her, Leonard leaned against the balcony railing, his expression calm, but his eyes sharp as if he was analyzing every doubt in Ariana. "Are you afraid?" Leonard finally asked, breaking the silence. Ariana shook her head slowly. "I'm more afraid of staying in this marriage," she answered honestly. Leonard turned his head, his eyes searching Ariana's face. "That's a good answer," he said. "But you have to realize, Nathaniel won't just let this happen." Ariana nodded. She knew exactly what Nathaniel was like. The man never wanted to lose something he considered his. Even if it meant destroying someone else's life. "But you don't have to worry," Leonard contin

Amidst the sparkling crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling of the ballroom, Ariana kept a firm grip on Leonard's hand. She could feel the stares coming from all directions, including from Nathaniel who stood in the corner of the room with an unreadable expression. "Ignore him," Leonard's voice sounded soft in her ear. "We're here to change your life, not to bow to his threats." Ariana nodded slowly, even as her heartbeat quickened. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. This was a moment they had carefully prepared for. If their plan went their way, Nathaniel would no longer have control over her. A woman in a black dress approached them, a friendly smile gracing her face. "Leonard, you finally showed up at this event." "Clara." Leonard replied with a brief nod. Clara turned her gaze to Ariana, her eyes scanning up and down. "And who is this beautiful woman?" Ariana smiled faintly. "Ariana." Clara raised her eyebrows. "Ariana... Nathaniel's wife?" Leonar

Ariana felt her heartbeat quicken as Leonard looked at her deeply. The air between them seemed to tighten, as if something was unspoken but felt so real. "I protected you because I..." Leonard hung on his words, making Ariana even more curious. Because of what? Because of their plan? Or was there another, deeper reason? However, before Leonard could continue, the vibrating sound of the cell phone in his pocket broke the tension between them. He sighed softly, then picked up his phone. His face turned serious when he saw the name on the screen. "I have to pick this up," he said briefly before walking away. Ariana nodded wordlessly. Once Leonard had gone to his office, she pressed her temples together, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened. Nathaniel was clearly not going to stay silent, and his threat from earlier was still ringing in his ears. You will suffer more living with Leonard Sinclair. Those words made her feel uncomfortable. Nathaniel was cunning, bu

Ariana stared at Leonard, trying to read the expression on his face. The man didn't show the slightest hesitation, as if every word he said really came from the heart. "Is this real?" repeated Ariana, her voice almost a whisper. Leonard didn't answer right away. He stepped closer, close enough that Ariana could feel his warm breath on her skin. The look in his eyes was so intense that she found it difficult to look away. "What do you feel, Ariana?" Leonard asked softly. Ariana bit her lip. She couldn't answer. Too many things were running through her mind. Feelings that shouldn't be there were slowly starting to consume her. Leonard waited. He didn't force her to answer, but he didn't avert his gaze either. "I... don't know," Ariana finally said honestly. "I'm afraid this is just part of our plan. I'm afraid if I start believing, I'll get hurt again." Leonard lifted a hand and tucked Ariana's hair behind her ear in a gentle motion. "I can't force your feelings, Ariana. But I can

Ariana held her phone tightly, her gaze not leaving the message she had just received. Langford Hotel. It wasn't just any hotel-it was one of the luxury hotels often used by high-end businessmen for secret meetings. The fact that the sender of the message chose that place made Ariana even more suspicious. Who was this person? What did he know about Leonard? Ariana looked over to Leonard's open study door. The man was now busy with his laptop, his fingers moving over the keyboard with incredible speed. He seemed focused, as if he didn't realize how many questions were filling Ariana's head right now. If she asked Leonard directly, would she get an honest answer? No, she wouldn't. So far, Leonard had never given her any reason to doubt his intentions. But isn't that what makes things even scarier? When someone is too perfect, too trustworthy, there's often something hidden underneath. Ariana swallowed. There was only one way to find out the truth-she had to go to the Langford Hote

As Ariana walked out of the restaurant, the cool morning breeze hit her face, but she didn't feel it at all. Her chest felt so tight, as if something was pressing hard from within. Every word Leonard and Darinna said was still ringing in her ears. "She's starting to trust me." So all this time, everything Leonard did was a lie? Every gentle gaze, every caring touch, every promise he made - all part of a master plan to destroy Nathaniel? Ariana swallowed, holding back the tears that welled up in her eyes. No, she couldn't. She couldn't cry. Not here, not now. She had to think clearly. Her hand squeezed her cell phone tightly. The photos she had just taken from inside the restaurant were irrefutable proof. She could confront Leonard right away, but why would she? The man was a master manipulator. He must have a thousand reasons to distort the truth. No, Ariana had to go one step further. She had to make sure that when the time came, Leonard would have no way around it. --- After

However, in her heart, she knew that Leonard was testing her. He wouldn't just give him important information. She had to be smarter, more cunning than Leonard to uncover the truth that had been hidden. That night, Ariana sat in her study with the documents she had stolen from Leonard's office spread out on the table. She read each sheet carefully, trying to find an opening she could exploit. Her eyes suddenly widened when she saw one document that bore Darinna's signature. This was proof that Leonard and Darinna were indeed working together. But what was even more shocking was the amount of money that was being funneled into a hidden account in the name of someone she was familiar with - her stepmother who had abandoned her after the death of her father. Ariana's blood froze. Suddenly, all those bad memories invaded her mind. When her biological father went bankrupt and lost everything, when her family was destroyed by Darinna, and when her mother married a man who was only after

Ariana can't wait any longer. After receiving the report from the detective, she realizes the depth of the conspiracy involving Leonard, Darinna, and her stepfather. All of them were connected in a dirty network that had destroyed her life long ago. Nathaniel scrutinized the documents in front of him with a serious expression. "If this information is leaked to the public, Leonard will be finished," he said quietly. "But we have to do it right," Ariana replied. "I want enough evidence to put him in jail, not just make him lose his reputation." Nathaniel nodded. "I can help you. But we need a good strategy." Ariana looked at Nathaniel with eyes full of conviction. "What should we do?" Nathaniel leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment. "We need to find additional, stronger evidence. I have contacts in the financial sector who can track Leonard's hidden financial flows. If we can find evidence that he's using illegal funds or laundering money, that would be enough to break h

Ariana felt her breath catch when Axel stepped closer. His sudden presence reminded her of all the chaos she had gone through. The man was still as handsome as ever, but there was a hardness in his eyes, a hardness she had never forgotten. Axel was the man who had abandoned her during her most difficult times, and now he stood before her, his demeanor far from friendly.“Axel…” Ariana’s voice was weak, almost a whisper, but enough for Axel to hear.He looked at her with a vacant expression, as if he didn’t recognize the woman standing before him. “You dare come here?” His voice was flat, emotionless.Ariana swallowed hard. “I just want to meet Elio,” she said, trying to keep her composure, though her heart was breaking. “He’s my son. I have the right to see him.”Axel let out a sarcastic laugh, the sound like a knife to Ariana’s heart. “Right? You have no rights anymore, Ariana. I’m the one who’s raised him, I’m the one who’s taken care of him.” He stepped closer, his gaze full of war

That morning, the air in Seattle felt cold and fresh. Ariana gazed at the towering buildings veiled in a thin fog, her emotions a tangled mess inside. She and Nathaniel stood in front of their lawyer's office, ready to embark on the long legal process to meet her son, Elio. Yet, despite the certainty of their steps, Ariana couldn't shake off her doubts. What if Elio rejected her? What if he felt threatened by her presence?“Ari, you ready?” Nathaniel's voice broke her from her thoughts, pulling her back to the moment.Ariana nodded. "I can't wait any longer, Nate. It's been too long."They entered the meeting room, filled with lawyers and staff who would assist them. Leonard was already there, standing by the meeting table, his sharp eyes scanning every detail. "We've got the permission to meet the child directly. They can't refuse anymore."However, what seemed like a smooth plan to meet Elio soon encountered a stumbling block. As they stepped out of the building, Ariana's phone vibr

The rain fell in soft drizzles as Ariana sat inside the private genetic lab, her fingers clutching the DNA test results that had just been handed to her by the technician. Nathaniel sat beside her, his face tense, nearly expressionless.Ariana took a deep breath before opening the envelope. Inside, two sheets of paper with graphs, numbers, and one sentence that made her body nearly collapse:"The DNA results show a biological match between Subject A (Ariana Valen) and Subject B (child in the matching system data). Matching degree: 99.98%."Ariana closed her mouth, her sobs breaking free. "He... he's alive, Nate. He's really my son..."Nathaniel held her tightly, allowing Ariana to cry out her overwhelming joy. But within the embrace, his thoughts drifted—her child was out there, living under a new name and with a new family. And if the people who adopted him had been hiding the truth... then this was just the beginning of a much bigger storm.---Leonard opened the door to his office,

Ariana sat on the rattan chair in Nathaniel’s living room, her fingers trembling as she turned the flash drive Axel had given her. Fear, hope, and anger churned inside her. The rapid tapping of Leonard’s laptop keys echoed as he opened the first file from the drive.“This is insane,” Leonard muttered after a few minutes. “CCTV footage from the hospital. The date matches the day you were rushed there after the accident, Ariana.”Ariana leaned in, holding her breath. On the screen, she saw herself lying on a hospital bed—pale and unconscious. A nurse entered with some documents, and shortly after, two men in suits—one of them her father—walked in and signed something.“No…” Ariana’s voice cracked. “That’s… my father.”Nathaniel stood behind her, eyes fixed on the screen. “They hid everything. Even your child.”Leonard continued digging, opening more files—altered medical records, fake reports of a miscarriage, and one barely legible adoption document. The adoptive parents’ names were ma

The night sky had already turned dark when Ariana arrived at the old park near the lake. The place was almost unchanged. The weathered wooden bench, the drooping willow trees by the water’s edge, and the calming sound of the rippling lake—all of it seemed to summon memories from the past.Ariana wore a long gray coat, her scarf pulled slightly to obscure her face. Her hand clutched a small locket—Axel’s gift from long ago—that she had secretly kept all these years.The night air bit at her skin, but she stood still in the middle of the park, waiting.The clock struck 8:03 p.m.Three minutes late.Her mind kept spinning—would Axel actually show up? Or was this just a cruel game played by someone trying to stir up her past?Footsteps.Ariana turned swiftly, her heart pounding. From behind the stone bench, a man emerged wearing a black jacket and a hat pulled low over his face. But as he stepped closer, the park lights illuminated his features just enough.Time seemed to freeze.It was A

As noon approached, a thick, overcast sky loomed above the villa where Ariana stayed. The atmosphere grew heavier by the minute, as if echoing the weight of her thoughts. Nathaniel was deep in discussion with Leonard in the study, while Ariana sat alone in the living room, staring out the rain-speckled window. In her hand, she held an old photograph—one of her and Axel.She stared at it for a long time until her eyes began to sting. Axel’s smile in the photo now mocked the false sense of peace she had tried so hard to maintain. His face hadn’t changed, but the meaning behind his gaze felt foreign now. Once, Axel had been her whole world. Now… he was a mystery she longed to bury, yet he kept clawing his way out of the graveyard of her past.Time seemed to stop when the front door was knocked on.Three times. Soft, but firm.Ariana turned her head sharply. Her breath caught in her throat. “Did you hear that?” she asked, half-rising from her seat.Leonard hurried out of the study and mot

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
